    What is the formula for calculating how much sugar sugar syrup contains?

    Excuse me, it would be 1.44 Kg/l and not 1.44 gr/l. Process. Take a container marked with a capacity of 1 liter. Weigh the empty container on a scale. Write down the value. Pour the volume equivalent to 1L into the container. Weigh the container on the scale. Write down the value. The apparent...

    What is the formula for calculating how much sugar sugar syrup contains?

    Just for some fun.... an excuse to smile.

    In Spain, from the 12th to the 18th century, a shepherd and his sheep had more privileges than any other merchant. A real ravine had a width of 75m.

    What would you do

    1. A. I would look for one of the triple B queens and remove it to the nucleus in the square that found it. B. the queen of the nucleus would go in her painting to the orphan hive. To avoid fights between bees, spray a little cologne in the gap of the frame before inserting the change box. 2. A...

    Pursuit of AMM Black Bees

    The problem of maintaining a certain characteristic (phenotype-genotype) in honey bees lies in the fact that they show a much higher degree of genetic recombination than any other species of livestock interest. While in mammals the average number of recombinations per chromosome is 3, in honey...

    Warre moisture (anti-condensation) quilt

    Suggestion: In each corner place a wire from top to bottom, the humidity will condense on the wire, and gravity will do the rest, moving excess water to the bottom.

    Feeding back their own honey

    So, 2 options: A. Arrange a national box above your long hive and in it the frames. Wait until the bees decide to move the honey to the vicinity of the brood nest. B. Deliver the frames with honey and negotiate some compensation such as the delivery of any jar of honey you have.

    Feeding back their own honey

    The interior measurements for Lansgtroth/Layens compatibility are 480mm-350mm, allowing you to then have 13 Lansgtroth frames or 9 Lansgtroth frames. For British national squares, the measurement is changed from 480mm to 400mm, dropping from 13 to 11 frames layens. You can reduce the gap of a...

    Two queens after colony combining

    If in doubt, you have flipped a coin and it has landed on its edge (the usual situation would have been an attack or a swarm). I would consider taking their descendants as producers of drones or queens.

    Keeping Warre's commercially

    First we must clarify what we mean by the Warre method and, regardless of the box size, the only two actions in its management are: A. Wintering in 2 boxes or equivalent to 12 kg of honey for climatic conditions in France. B. The addition of boxes at the bottom. Now we could discuss whether...

    Keeping Warre's commercially

    In the Portuguese system there are 3 heights (260/200 and 130) and two configurations: A. lusitano/classico with nest at 260 and supers at 130 B. reversible in which everything goes to 200. Nor is it anything new, they are the same original configurations that Dadant and Lansgtroth offered.

    Where are the wasps?

    Be careful, this drop in nests may be a symptom of the consolidation of the velutina in the UK, now that they have managed to get through the winter, the next stage of their expansion is to build secondary nests as large as possible and that means that wasps, bees and others insects are targeted.
