    Queen Emergence Timing

    Forage Range

    Is there any scientific or observed data on the distances that bees fly for forage? 🌷🔁🐝 Or is just what’s been copied n pasted from old books Seems the usual wildly varying guesstimates circulate 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Upper Entrances

    I’ve noticed from a lot of YouTube videos that upper entrances into honey supers are quite common in the good ole US&A, but haven’t seen any UK Beeks using or recommending their use. is it just a cultural thing or due to climate Cheers

    Drone Cell Trigger

    What makes the Queen lay unfertilised eggs in worker cell. Do the workers enlarge the entrance of the cell of worker foundation after its drawn, and is it this that triggers her to lay a drone?

    Veil advice

    I saw somewhere online a picture of a DIY job. They’d cut out a 6”x4” panel of the mesh veil and superglued a clear thin transparent plastic panel to see through.

    There’s an Apiary in Kennington Park Sw9. Quite close to you. Am unsure who runs it. Looks like a community project. Good luck

    Just to quell my mind..., Didn’t this forum used to display next to the users name in posts - how many hives they have and where they are ? Or is that a different forum? Or am I having a senior moment🤷🏻‍♂️ cheers

    Attacked by dogs so w hen would be the best time to move bees?

    Sounds life threatening. Avoid a tragedy. MOVE THE BEES ASAP Just seal them up in the evening and relocate. Take a big stick Stay safe
