Apiary density with 10km

[drdrday]

I may be being dumb, but where on Beebase do you find what apiaries are near you?

Just log into Beebase, click on My Apiaries, and in the list of your apiaries there's a column for Apiariy density within 10km.
Mine's 243.

you can't - it just gives you the numbers. Just log in to your beebase account, Go to 'my Apiaries' and apiary density is shown in column 4

Thanks, found it now - 142!
At least there should be plenty of drones (if it vaguely resembles reality).
Though this equates to an area of 120 square miles!!

"within 10 km" means a circle with a 10km radius.
Pi x radius squared is 3.14 x 10 X 10 =314 square km, about 120 square miles.

I don't think Dani was disagreeing with your maths, just posting her apiary density number

Some are over the hills in Cheshire - so posh bees.

Yes........sorry. I had a quick look at bee base then posted without looking

It's trendy to have bees now the so called personalities have them.

What a wonderful deserted area you live in

For my three apiaries i have the following densities reported on Bee Base:

430
432
442

The last one is my isolation/swarm Apiary!

Too many beekeepers here in Surrey.

 

[Hux70]

155 for me. Up 4 since 2019

130, 121, 119 - my three apiaries in this parish.

 

[Pugmitch]

82......wonder where they are?

My count is 442, that sounds a lot but is actually less than 1.5 per sq km, which sounds OK as an area for my, currently 2, colonies. How would we determine the density that would become problematic, it must depend on the level of resources at this time and also the size of the apiaries. I suspect most around me are small hobbyist apiaries with 1-5 hives, but is that information available to us? (It is in beebase since we can/should maintain the hive counts for our apiaries.)

 

[GuyNir]

Am I the lowest one with 26?

 

[Murox]

Am I the lowest one with 26?

Depends how many of those are yours there are just 5 listed near me. Two of which I inhabit.

My home apiary is 121, the out apiary is 161.

When I've checked on the BeeBase Disease Incidence page, which shows outbreaks going back 20 years or so, there haven't been any within miles of my home apiary and none within about 15km of my out apiary.
Only a matter of time..
