Ask: How many boxes do the other 3 hives have? Management Warre maintains that wintering is done with 2 boxes. Maybe I should wait until the population starts to shrink. I have also read that some wait until the following year to harvest. An option would be to place an empty box in the weakest...

Frankly, I find it regrettable that this individual can be called a beekeeper.

https://metropolitano.gal/enfoque/triste-desenlace-para-un-canguro-que-vivia-en-galicia-a-unos-kilometros-de-padron/ It seems that this animal-loving Galician was missing kangaroos in his private Noah's ark. The worst thing went to the old woman and her grandson because they took the animal away...

There is another option: Once your honey is gone, just forward your customer's order to another beekeeper whenever he is willing. The customer will be grateful and will experience that local honeys of similar quality taste different. The following year, send a notification again so they know...

They look like habanero peppers.

It was a translator's error between pounds peso and pounds currency. Now that you wrote it differently. It seems to me that the 1.5 times value is really adjusted for retail. In Galicia the ratio is better (there is much more margin, which allows for more disparate approaches) although the price...

Unless I'm wrong with the conversions of pounds, ounces and kilos. A pound is 16 ounces and a kilo is approximately 35 ounces. Given that for a 4 pound/96 ounce or 2.75 kilo bucket you get paid £3.50 while for 12 ounces in a jar with a label you get an income of £4.5. That's a 10-fold...

No, I assume that a beekeeper does not make those mistakes, which is why there is always another possibility (in the first, an old queen and in the second, a queen with a late larva, even poorly fertilized, who after a month is not able to exceed the expectations of her workers). Frame of young...

What is the expected production cost for a non-professional beekeeper, in the sense that it is only a non-profit activity and in which his life does not depend on the money generated to sustain himself?

Translation for sailors: A. Capture a swarm with a queen probably over a year old B. Except for incorrect handling that cripples the queen, the workers decide to replace her once larvae are presented. C. larvae with what age, hours, days, varied? D. The queen presented such good posture? E. A...

It only lasted: A potential Bhopal.

For some reason, Google translates ecological as organic.

It is difficult for a product made from eggs to specify that the origin is organic since the product would be more expensive, the difference between an organic egg and a conventional caged egg is great. In the EU, each egg has a code regardless of the country of production, the first number...

Trying to transfer a honey import problem to a bee import problem is a very inefficient way of trying to solve the problem. Furthermore, this does not solve the main problem of the fraudulent method, which consists of diluting a few kilos of native and legitimate honey in syrup drums and...

To those who are interested, this study compares the different varieties of whether or not to cage the queen and whether or not to treat with oxalic acid. https://academic.oup.com/jee/article-abstract/113/2/582/5697464.

If that's what I was suggesting. In addition to what was mentioned. 1. By reinforcing the weakest hive with closed brood, field bees will focus on keeping this new section warm, limiting the transport of varroa between hives. 2. Since you have already reorganized the breeding in the different...

And once you have done 1 or 2 and found an unacceptable level of varroa, what should I do?

Precisely, the minority components or excipients mean that pharmaceutical companies can patent the solutions and register a different EPP licence with the ultimate goal of preventing you from being able to circumvent the system without a veterinary authorization.

Taking into account that the reference for the process you have used is 5 varroas per day and that at this time only 20% of varroa will be foretic, I would try in 2 ways: A. I would remove 1/3 of the panels without bees, with more closed brood and with darker lids (older age), which I would...
