The investment in the device is not to support the development of a "novelty item" but to support research into a technology that could help potentially uncover many unknowns about behaviour in the hive. Take CCD for example. No one really knows what is occurring in the hive which facilitates...

Looking inside the hive is the ideal situation, however as we all know, there are only so many hours in a day and not everybody keeps their hives in the back garden, they could be miles away, and distributed around the area, so checking for queen cells regularly may not be an option. This is...

It is well documented that the bees do make a plethora of different sounds. Using modern technology and specific algorithms, it is possible to alert beekeepers to different situations such as swarming. The Arnia device is able to alert to the possibility of swarming and possibly more...

Hi there, Have you ever thought your bees make a different noise when they are "stressed' or when they are about to swarm? In the 50's, a British BBC sound engineer set out to discover just that. Unfortunately the Apidictor was a commercial failure, but it did path the way for further research...

There in lies another problem. The maketing department doing it for a green publicity stunt. The drivers are all wrong, which means the proper care and attention won't be given in the long run. I don't understand why people don't go and ask 'experts' or ask internal staff who may have experinece...

The issue with Brazil and India (and China to some extent) is that their economies are only now becoming developed due to the globalisation of products and services and the sharing of knowledge and technology which have led to the rapid growth of these economies. There is no question that man...

I would agree, and with more and more business renting out their roof to beekeepers in London, it's only a matter of time. However I wonder how we can actually provide this extra care. Good beekeeping practice is very much a personal opinion. Take swarming for example, I've spoken to many people...

haha, well I wasn't so excessive on the ham. Mine were more sandwich like, but I can see what you mean. Breads the most boring bit of a sandwich anyway :)

I've just come back from Krakow and they had the most delicious honey flavoured beer. Any one got any favourites/recommendations in England for honey flavoured beer/ale?

Also, has anyone experienced any particualr problems with keeping bees in an urban environment?

There has been an increased trend in urban beekeeping. What are peoples opinion on this, do people think that the urban environment is fit for the keeping of bees?

The problem with my 'spares' is that they nearly all need some sort of repair :rolleyes:

Thanks for this. I'm always looking for ways to make my ham and cheese sandwiches that little more interesting. It tasted great :)

You can most deffinately be cruel to insects. If any mistratment leads to death, surely this must be cruelty.
