what plant is that?

a few other old photos

still from a video, she got up on a buttercup leaf after this took what looked like a breather and the cleaned the pollen off into pollen baskets and flew off Didn’t focus as well unfortunately

Can we add a option to the poll “I come here to learn Finnish and about Finnish culture”?

so for your general treatment free/natural evolution idea that you have been proposing in this and other threads to work are you admitting that you'll either need to buy a massive amount of land and evict all the current beekeepers or sign up 200+ beekeepers to your idea but in the knowledge...

LOL ok renegade Random sheeple who come up with the same 'save the honeybees' idea after reading a guardian article are not a movement.

i wouldn't call it a movement, any bit of research would show honeybees are not in danger, something you failed to grasp before your initial edited post. most of these people end up losing their bees which is both a shame and negligence

Beekeepers have seen an influx in recent years (both here and in there associations) of new beekeepers who think honeybees are in danger and want to give them a home, not treat them with horrible chemicals and not steal their precious honey, there's an handful of these in every beginners course...

if clean leave it somewhere the wild birds (Robins especially)will clear it out then collect the wax

found this one swimming in a bucket last year

taller top heavy hives in windy winter months might be more likely to topple

you were too lazy too read the thread from the start but if you had you would have seen that the isolation part of Philipe's story is nonsense as there are lots of apiaries registered close to Blenheim and he himself kept bees in Blenheim recently but his colonies failed and he tried to...

how do we know these wild bees didn't just arrive as a swarm from some beekeeper down the road the previous year? you're guessing at very best so applying all these theories to "wild bees" is built on a very shakey base to begin with.

I googled it, that is a terrible website. the "hives" aren't much to look at either

supposedly better for bees and "not for the greedy" who want to excessively exploit their bees https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiive/hiive-better-for-bees?ref=3lim31&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5-WRBhCKARIsAAId9FlKYrkI3pk4CCFnx290RGD_o2kt3KRjhsBe4IQTQ0MecU4WeS0Pe2waAnFTEALw_wcB

what is the upside to the dovetail joint vs the brackets detailed in the Lazutin hive link? What are the frames made from? it will be two pretty thin pieces of wood you are joining with a thin dovetail, I would doubt pine would be strong enough if there is significant weight in the bottom half...

the honey could have lower than 20% content but not meet the other criteria in Paragraph 8 and be classified as bakers honey. Water content is the most likely though but i can imagine some heated <20% moisture honey gets sold as bakers too

Am I right I thinking it's two brood boxes and two supers, so must be a tall enough hive for this time of year? being so tall there may have been brace comb between frames or boxes that might have cracked during recent winds releasing honey? why are there two varroa boards? Are you saying the...

It's a little irresponsible giving this guy a stage but he's not the only speaker on the beekeeping circuit spouting nonsense. The result of this sort of stuff is more new beekeepers clinging to some part of this misinformation and either spreading it as fact or losing colonies. I wonder...

His Guardian story came out out in November, who’s been putting bout bait hives since then? If it was last year I suspect they were bait hives that were put out every other year. Walter Mitty needs his head checked.
