The Egg

beehive1234 · Apr 24, 2013

Thinking about the honey bee brood nest, and incorporating my knowledge of a chicken keeper, I was struck at the thought that the honey bee brood nest, may be, akin to an egg. Yolk, Albumin, Outer layer. Forgive my reluctance to research actual names of layers.
I know there are three.
I know the bats leave their roost the moment chickens have roosted, these are the laws of nature. Swallows arrive and this signals something too.
I hope everyone is using icing sugar dusting when they inspect their hives over the summer. To get rid of the mites.
My question is which way to split the egg is best?
From top to bottom or side to side?

I am thinking that I should take the 'half brood' away from the 'brood'.
Rather than splitting the brood and a half.
It seems to me to be neater.
What are your thoughts?

This is a question to the ADMIN ..........Please provide a flag for us that belong to the WORLD, if not The Universe. Thank you in antisipation.

Perhaps we can introduce the 1st WORLD FLAG, in memory of those who died to achieve it?

icing sugar is best kept for icing cakes

Icing sugar dusting after inspections, has had very good results in Wales.
The bees clean themselves and use the sugars, double goodness, for us and the bees.
