Hi littel john . What type of hive have you got.And what sitting on top of the brood boxes

The three simple eyes (ocelli) on top of a bee's head are light detectors, whose purpose is to detect where the strongest light is coming from. In daylight this is almost always from above. So this tells the bees which way is UP. When you get a strong light reflection from snowfall the bees get...

They are the wing marks of a bird either landing or taking off

:iagree: Honey Glazed Venison is better that a desiel contaminated apairy.

I was in my apairy one day, standing up on the ladder pruning apple trees. The bees had been confined to the hive for over 6 weeks or more. The weather picked up to about 5'c when all of a sudden, all the hives exploded with bees , coming out to deficate at the one time. I started to laugh at...

Foots prints in the snow look too round ti be muntjak and there seems to be nail marks on the landing board.Acording to spring watch last night, badgers really dont come out in the cold when the ground is frozen and have no food sourse.

Nice picture. Why the 3 national brood boxes on one of the hives.

I am looking for a contact for buying bulk inverted syrup. We are a group of beekeepers getting together, to try and get a better deal on a bulk order. Order would be possible about 28tons as this is the legal limit that can be carried by an articulated truck. Any contacts would be appreciated.

Hi beeno. I think that finnman is the wrong one to ask this question of, as he freely admits to feeding over supers and believes that the bees will consume it completely, and none of it will get into the supers. Whereas i believe that anything you give them , can and will be stored in the comb...

Yes, rab. A bit quick off the mark, and on a sunday morning as well.

great photos. I would have thought they would of had some sort of nesting material in there , or did you remove it.

absoulatly no offence taken. The idea of the forum is for someone to learn from others questions and observations. Last year i selected a beautiful plump queen that had started to lay up an apidea box after been mated. I sent her in the post to my brother and within 24 hours she was in a full...

Probably a young queen which ran onto the back frames where the drones hang out, hence the extra drones. Because of the goblin face on her back, i probably left the frame out and went back to the van for the camera, which is why there is no attendance. I find it hard to remember what even...

Apis meliffera meliffera. Just look at her. Isn't she beautiful.
