My daughter has just become a beekeeper in WA and there seems to be loads of differences. For example, she collected a small cast swarm and was advised not to feed whatsoever. So, I wondered why ? There must be loads of ther differences too.
I'm looking for some information on Jarrah honey extraction. Does it require pressing as it's thixotropic or can it be extracted in a centrifuge ? Are there any idiosyncrasies about Jarrah ?
Does anyone know of any studies on the effect on yields of colony density ?
I have a suspicion that the influx of new beekeepers is dampening my yields. Live in a very rural area in Wales which is stock based and no arable crops. Thank you
I am afraid that I failed module 3 with 54% but did feel somewhat better when I discovered that all the folks from our beekeeping association also failed. Wondering whats going wrong and how others on the forum got on ?
