Snowdrop pollen is red/orange.
They’ve found something else then!Snowdrop pollen is red/orange.
Yes i understand that. I was trying to keep simple for a beginner, so they understood why vaping in august wasn't as simple as they thought, which was the root of his questionI think you need to read up a bit more on varroa lifecycles, the mite has to remain 'phoretic' for three or four days before jumping into another cell. hence the second and third treatments on day 5 and 10 which makes their full brood/treatment cycle different from the bees.
Are there Hellebores around?They’ve found something else then!
Ahh, yes. The gardeners planted some when they renovated the garden. A quick hop over the hedge.Are there Hellebores around?
Really nice. V neat!skep
Not in the apiary but an afternoon in a cold shed making foundation with the mould. Perfect when it's cold as the wax cools fairly quickly so you can crack on. 20 sheets done for brood so get it wired in the next couple of days ready for any combs ready to be replaced in the spring
Do you happen to have the dimensions if the box? I want to make one with the kids.I made this box in Jan2020. May 2021 I had 2 of these hopping around the allotment. The adults were flying about during the day for a week keeping an eye on them.
