    Amm / Native Black Bee Discussion

    As you have elections planned soon, you should send a letter to the electoral district candidates to implement a progressive level of alerts based on the 30-30-30 rule. If one of the parameters is met, a yellow situation will be activated, for which 50% of the emergency, fire and security means...

    Plant mint in pots and place them at the entrances to the greenhouse. Make or purchase apple cider vinegar, mix it in equal parts with water. Regularly spray the sides both inside and out. That should keep rodents out of your greenhouse.

    In Galicia we have 14 native varieties of peppers and in general they do not bite. The two varieties that can sting are Herbon/Padron and Mougan, which led the Medio Rural department to begin research to develop cultivars that do not sting since they do not generate capsaicin. In general, we...

    You should know that the male ancestors of a drone in a hive comply with the Fibonacci sequence. So he has 0 parents, 2 grandparents, 3 great-grandparents, 5 great-great-grandparents and so on.

    The casein in milk is a natural neutralizer of capsaicin (the protein that gives chili peppers their heat), at least when eating food. Now I don't know how this advice can help you in processing peppers.

    New EU honey labelling rules.

    The problem is that it is not taken into account when there is prior labeling, that is, if a Chinese supplier labels its honey in Turkey or in another EU country, then no matter how much it specifies for a subsequent re-export, that honey will be All effects Turkish and not Chinese.

    Where do you buy your seeds?

    In Galicia we do not usually make seedbeds, although we could since most hardware stores/feed stores offer a variety of the most in-demand vegetables, since starting in March the weekly or monthly markets offer vegetable plants at low prices. Onions, sprouts and cabbage are sold at 10 euros per...

    Dead colony: would you reuse the super full of stores?

    The varroa wiped out what little the wasps left behind.

    Dead colony: would you reuse the super full of stores?

    No, I was referring to the bees' apparent need to change the queen, as if the treatment had reduced the ability to perceive the mandibular pheromone and prompted a replacement. It is unlikely that there was a critical amount of varroa as the donor hives had been treated a month earlier.

    Dead colony: would you reuse the super full of stores?

    This year I acquired some buckfast queens. I did the queen introduction and everything went well for a few weeks. Then everything went wrong, they decided to raise a queen (hybrid since the mother was buckfast but the drones were Iberian). When I check in spring I should find two, the rest were...

    Dead colony: would you reuse the super full of stores?

    I would say that due to the Apivar treatment the workers caused a replacement of the queen to another with poor fertilization that was unable to maintain a stable population for winter. I would take advantage of the super as food/reinforcement for the rest. Everything in the nest to melt and get...

    Does peroxide kill nosema ?

    I understood it perfectly, I was simply considering the possibilities of exceeding the thymol prescription, since this is also toxic for bees, and can even cause rejection of the food. Wouldn't you like to be a veterinarian?
