Regardless of leaving them dry or wet, for me the best way is to place them in a column with eucalyptus leaves both at the bottom and at the top (some supers without frames serve to contain the material) and wrap them with plastic film.

Height in humans is distributed according to a Gaussian variable (normal distribution). The case of the Daily Mail corresponds to both extremes, which happens in very low proportions (3% on both sides). By the way, it is known that there are more than 700 parameters that determine the height of...

Around Saint John's Day, the stamens of the chestnut tree begin to emerge, and the foxgloves are already completely open.

I would also opt for waspon, even velutine. Here the wasps do not cover the cells with a paste envelope.

Summary: Nothing is conclusive, there are only information gaps between the data and conclusions regarding the original articles.

where it says sine of 30° it should say cosine of 30°.

The usual cell size is 5.4mm. For a quick count, the area of a hexagon with a circumscribed radius of 5.4mm is 25.26 mm2. Divide the total area by this number and you will obtain an upper bound of the value since incomplete hexagons will remain at the edges. If you want to calculate the exact...

In your photo you can see hives without a rise, I could use these as support. I would place a newspaper with slots over the nest and on top I would arrange the supers that have uncapped honey. Once you get to the supers with sealed honey I would just brush them to remove the bees. When you have...

I didn't say that you have sick and short-lived bees. You yourself admit that of your 3 drawers, only one contains brood (pollen below and honey above for wintering). It is curious but the bees are adapted to a fixed space which in your case and due to the external conditions in Finland are 3...

The values it provides are not new, Farrar (one of the first entomologists to apply scientific analysis on beekeeping) spoke about all of them. Farrar speaks of maximum laying rates of around 1600, which are much lower than the current ones considered, but in his management he already has towers...

I would not remove the supers since the bees begin to rise and when the brood of the 7/9 squares is born, those bees need space for their activity. Only food if the forecast of rain or cold is imminent and will last more than 4 days.

A quick fix would be Move the queen excluder upwards so that the two supers with the fullest squares are at the top and in August move the excluder back to its current position. If in the super that you have left as an extension of the nest you see brood or pollen, you can place it below the...

There is some debate in the scientific community about whether the queen is plenipotentiary (there is no laying limit) or she is supervised (it is the workers who establish the laying space based on resources).

Have you placed any super on top of the breeding nest? Do you use queen excluder?

Yesterday I was in the orchard and I could see the bees on the kiwi flowers. I have also noticed that the brambles are beginning to flower.

I agree with my colleagues. In the second photo, despite taking the photo against the light, you can clearly see the yellow legs and the tip of the orange abdomen compared to the rest of the black body. A European hornet would be much more yellow than black.

It's really hard to know under normal conditions. It is known that in supersedure the queens share a short period of cohabitation, so it is very likely that the old queen will not swarm until the new one begins laying. However, in swarming conditions, the old queen usually leaves before the...

A point: -In a nucleus, the probabilities of a swarm are zero, the nurses would be in charge of eliminating the old queen to promote the favor of the new one. -In the event that one of the two suffered a mishap, everything could still be combined into a hive.

As if it were the first animal to take advantage of the house empty by the previous tenant. Have you never used a bait hive to catch swarms?
