    At what point will the NBU give up on AHs?

    Taking into account that the highest incidence of velutina occurs in the Atlantic arc of continental Europe, that they are also multi-paired queens and that they would be the most likely to be swept by storms towards the British coasts, their reasoning does not hold up. Regarding the import...

    At what point will the NBU give up on AHs?

    It is evident that it is not important for the conclusions to be public. In a previous thread someone posted the trailers and timidly talked about the production of queens and drones. So honestly, from there to successful hibernation of queens there is only one step.

    An old saying says that firewood gives three times the heat: A. When you cut it. B. When you stack it. C. When you burn it.

    At what point will the NBU give up on AHs?

    It is true that the chances of sighting are lower since there is a smaller population, but it is enough to include a small camera in front of the fuse device with a remote control that allows the recording to be reviewed later. If there is a sighting in the recording, it is a matter of sending a...

    At what point will the NBU give up on AHs?

    The problem is not in rural areas but in cities since that is where, according to nest removal statistics, their proportion is highest and the average temperature is highest. In Galicia there is an immunization program for those allergic people, since according to the USC (the main allergy...

    https://www.nationalbeeunit.com/about-us/beekeeping-news/asian-hornet-confirmed-sighting-ash-kent/ Is it usual for a member of the Animal and Plant Health Agency to collect the reported HA specimens?

    First Inspection

    Yesterday a second partial review, and thank goodness with a week without any rain I began to have the breeding chamber blocked with honey and pollen, I removed frames by comb without stretching and half raising to give space. The retired frames with some breeding provided for new nuclei. The...

    From the photo I would say that they are hazelnuts and not walnuts.

    First Inspection

    I did the review last week. Since the last cursory look (to add food) in January I have found some dead but most are fine. From the strongest ones, remove some frame to prepare nuclei (from previous years the optimal window is from the end of March to the end of April). I added a comb to these...

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    The good thing about Galicia (especially in the interior) is that you can eat octopus every day (if your pocket can handle it) and all this thanks to the tireless female work of several generations of women from the town of Arcos (lower green dot in the first map).

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    That has been one of the reasons for the mobilizations of farmers and ranchers throughout the EU and in May there is an election for European parliamentarians. It is the payment of signing commercial agreements (to sell a handful of technology to the elites, we pawn the farmer to subrogate food...

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    I do not question that vegan products are marketed but rather that they promote false marketing to gain a foothold in the market. In this case, this product comes from mushrooms, not even from a vegetable protein of marine origin.

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    After vegan drinks that are not milk, syrups that are not honey or vegan products that are not meat, an Austrian company has decided to market something vegan that is not octopus. They must have heard that the best octopus is eaten in the interior of Galicia and thought we were stupid...

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    fipronil is partially prohibited. Use permitted to control ticks and other mites in pets but prohibited in livestock operations. Use permitted in greenhouse production but prohibited in intensive cultivation of sunflower and corn or marketing seeds treated with fipronil as a chemical coating...

    Labour to end exemptions from ban on neocotinids

    This would imply that the use of FC to combat velutina is kept in a dark drawer with no chance of becoming a reality.

    You haven't actually accepted any. Orthopedics has roots. Orthos with upright or straight meaning Paideia meaning education or training. On the other hand Pediatrics has as roots Paidos with meaning of child Iatreia with the meaning of healing. The etymological origin of feet in Greek would be...

    Pre-Drawn Comb

    The box contains 12 sheets which is 3.7kg of wax. Thus, a kg of wax would cost €16.75 for a manufactured product. In Spain the price per kg of unstretched sheets is €12-14/kg so I don't think expensive is the right word.
