Bees may still be flying while nectar reward weakens. Dry weather and wind are restricting useful forage across much of the UK.

[New post] Tropilaelaps in Turkey, recent studies of the complexity of the waggle dance, and (yet more on) the influence of queen cup size on the size of the resulting queens. It turns out that bigger is not always better.

So I am attempting to change my career into #beekeeping, we've done so much damage to the planet that Beekeeper's are more important than ever in ensuring this important species survives. Learnt so much from these two podcasts but would love to know more Beekeeper's on here if there are any. #bees 🐝

🐝 Flowers don’t always mean plenty of forage.

Our latest blog explains how Forage Outlook gives beekeepers a better picture of what may be coming into the hive.

Honey bees aren’t just pollinators—they’re living sensors of environmental health. 🐝 Their foraging reveals hidden #OneHealth #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Beekeeping #Pollinators

A lot of dead bees, which the Formic Pro pack said would happen, but still sad to see. I'm really really really fighting the urge to go out and remove the pads. I'm just hoping that my hive will have enough bees heading into winter.
#beekeeping

Ten days till I pull the strips but I think I'm going to open the hive after five just to make sure they aren't trying to make new queens, as they sometimes do with Formic. Then I'll give them a break and check again and if the mites are back to 1/100 I'll do the Apivar for the winter. #beekeeping

Instead of inspecting a colony, making mental notes and trying to remember everything later, use Apiary Visit and work through your colonies while you are at the apiary.
It works online or offline!

Anyone got suggestions for decent ant defense spacers to protect beehives? #beekeeping

of all the times to get stung it's when I'm walking through the backyard. In fairness, I was wearing dark clothes, and I was walking through the bee's flightpath from their hive...but I was like twenty feet away and I swear one of em decided that was just too close.

Sunday I'll be joining an introduction to beekeeping. On a rooftop community garden in Ghent. Purely out of interest, not immediately to start myself. Looking forward to it! #beekeeping #bee
