MRDA (Mandy Rice-Davies Applies)

Good, but as mentioned in earlier post, a bit young /simple for her

Many thanks for this, I had not been aware of it. It is great that Maddie (and her mum) use British kit (so friend's granddaughter should recognise the Brit Nats) and European methods, (so not accepting the colony loss levels that prevail in the US as normal). It will also be a good introduction...

Similar problem / opportunity again. The seven year old, fearsomely intelligent, grandaughter of a friend of mine has been showing interest in bees and beekeeping. As she lives the other side of the country and it is now Septemeber, there is little point in dragging her over here just to see...

Israeli, not American. Is this the future of beekeeping ? discuss

Sublimox 300W Varrox 144W e-cig <14W Power in the e-cig will not be enough I did once make a pan type device using a PTC heating element rated at 170C. It ran off a car battery, took ten minutes (and the rest) to heat up. Sublimation was very variable but always...

To cite an example with an experimental sample size of only one: I have had one colony that has been notably susceptible to CB for a year or three, floor covered in mummies every time I looked. They supeseded earlier this season, and the incidence of CB appears already to have diminished...

Erick Motta at Texas Uni has been doing some interesting work on the impact of glyphosate on the bee gut, see attached. However I note that even the CEH (repsonsible for an oft quoted but somewhat misleading paper on neonics in 2017) are happy to recommend glyphosate in their recommendations for...

"... given that we found no effect of the Bee Gym, we conclude that there is no evidence from this study of its efficacy as a management strategy for V. destructor. "

I should be interested in others' experience and comments, not least Karol's I have a small shed meant primarily for garden tools and similar, but inevitably it has ended up as overflow storage for ekes, clearer boards, crown boards, etcetera, etcetera. Over the last couple of weeks the wasps...

Do scientists think that changes in solar irradiance due to the 11-year solar cycle could be strong enough to cause the current change being measured in Earth's climate? In a word, no. Scientists agree that the solar cycle and its associated short-term changes in irradiance cannot be the main...
