Bumble Bee Have you used and had any reaction from MAQS? I haven't used MAQS strips yet, so do not know if I would react Thank you for the links which I have read through

I do hope you can help me I have never reacted well to bee stings. Each time I got stung, the reaction was more severe. Last year, after spraying myself with (freebee tester) perfume when out shopping, I returned back home and thought I would check out my bees in my garden to see if they had...

Thank you once again - this link should keep me quiet for a while

The 10-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid. 9-oxodec-2-enoic acid, 9-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid references all come from Mid Bucks Module 5 Study notes freely available on the net. Thank you for your help

Wow! How interesting, especially the experiments with varroa. I didn't know honey bees could bite as a defence. So much to learn ......:thanks:

Sorry Hedgehog66, can't see your PM

Thanks for the offer Eyeman, it's very kind of you but I really do need a non aggressive Q, especially due to my reaction to bee stings. I live Preston Area

Not having any luck this year. One Queen died out in the Spring, another Queen poorly mated last year, then my BEST Queen has completely disappeared over a week ago leaving no Q cells. Its a total mystery So, has anyone got a mated Queen, preferably Buckfast as I believe they are docile...

I shall be starting my honey bee sting desensitisation course shortly following a severe re-action last year when I got stung on the head. I am in my sixth year of beekeeping and have had several stings. The previous stings have resulted in variations between the usually swelling to having to...

No daffodils yet! 4th March and not a single daffodil in bloom in my garden yet! Will spring ever come?
