I've heard people say this before, but it's only just occurred to me, you mean the entire Hive has to be one or the other, right, not just the box or box type? I want to try Plastic, but thought I could just use them only on my supers, and allow the bees to either draw their own comb in the...

Is there any scientific data on the optimal temperature (and humidity) that bees try to keep their hives at, I would imagine it would be different for the Brood than the Supers, and again different in Summer (raising Brood) and Winter (just trying to survive)? I know that in California they...

Thank you very much pargyle and Somerford for the nice words, I was just a bit taken aback by the negative reaction... especially whenever I really found it fascinating and assumed other beeks would to; Ukrainian beekeepers seem to have a few different techniques that I haven't come across...

Hi pargyle Very Good 1 - 4 points that you made, I have no idea how you would test such things (can organic be tested for?); however on a slightly similar vein, I came across an article in a Anglo-French Forum in which Chinese Black Truffles were being imported, these have little smell and...

bingevader that's an excellent idea, well done for thinking it :iagree: I only wish I had thought of it... what I had tried to achieve in paragraphs, you have quite possibly achieved in one short sentence.

I don't think "Trading Standards" is monitoring this Forum, and if he is importing something described as Honey, I doubt he'll even register on the radar, as the Shipping Agents will keep his paperwork correct. If on the other hand he is talking about importing a small 250ml/gram jar, with say...

By the way, it isn't this type of honey that you're hoping to import? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_b2i_FvYPw Because IF it is, I think you may have a problem...

Hi Himalayanbuzz welcome, I can see your Post isn't going well for you, which is to be expected as you have asked us to help you to import honey that would directly compete against our own, but at least it hasn't gone too negative for you. You have actually asked a question about Freight...

Ok, so my two cents was wrong; there is positive interaction between the Hives / Towers, and the bee scent does spread through the connected hives, enabling them to mix harmoniously together. So the basis of this Ukrainian system would appear to be valid and workable, whether it achieves it...

You guys don't want to discuss this, I thought this was the place to post this kind of stuff. I was very interested in his taking the bees 'hive' (collective) instinct and using it to connect different hives throughout the year to reduce their swarming instinct, and strengthen the group as a...

Ok, before I start all I know about this, is what I have watched on YouTube, Links below, so this Post is to start of a discussion on it, especially as I am somewhat perplexed by it (I think we can agree not to start discussing the religious aspect of it, please...) the short explanation...

Hi Hachi I'll deal with the points you raised in the order that you made them; 1. I asked a question, provided evidence, suggested an interpretation, MartinL made an excellent point when addressing the evidence, based on that, by and large I have changed my original interpretation. 2. You...

Thank you for the cilfiegansawmill.com link, I really wish the photos were still there... but from a very rough calculation, that seems a reasonable price for good quality, although as I have effectively no tools for making my own making anything less than several may not pay for itself, but it...

I was just asking a legitimate question, after seeing the same photos ... the Chinese company pinching the Thorne photos is a more reasonable explanation if I think of them as 'salting' their own photos. It's just I thought (and still do) it very strange that, 1. Thornes photos are (mostly)...

That gives us some reassurance, thank you. Where on your website are photos of your manufacturing process, showing the hives in different stages of production, etc. not assembly. If not the website, then Facebook or something? If there are no photos, then it would be a simple process for you...

Yes, that's a valid point, one thing I think is strange, is if you scroll down the Alibaba site under "Technics Contrast" you will see them extolling the(ir) Dovetail Joint ... but the photo shows "Normal Hive Binding" the same as Thorne, suggesting it may be a copied photo taken from Thorne's...

from my personal experience I can assure you that a 'Fumigation Certificate' is standard for all container / shipments from China with wood inside them (if it is just steel, including steel pallets, it's not required). Which then makes your statement about "nasties" even more thought provoking...

I would have thought most of us would agree that Fumigating the wood that makes a beehive is not good. However I have just come across something that seems to suggest that many of our bought hives are fumigated. I Googled "Bee Hives" and eventually came to this picture, w w w ...

Mushroom benefits Bees with Research This may be a more useful Link from someone that not only knows a lot about Mushrooms but also cites scientific research / trials to back up the claims that the Bees health does seem to improve whenever they can gain access to (certain types of) Mushrooms...

Thanks, you've been very helpful, I'll follow up on your advice.
