News Topics
Ick! Mold in my hive!
A great story from Rusty from the Honey Bee Suite blog.
Mold seems to be the topic of the week, but that is not surprising. This is the time of year when you open a hive that has over wintered with little interference from you.
Hobbyist beekeepers in the Marlborough Sounds and north of the Wairau River risk being poisoned if they eat honey from combs collected in late summer, warns Marlborough Federated Farmers beekeeping industry representative, Will Trollope.
Another great story from Rusty’s the Honey Bee Suite blog.
Some sources say honey bees are “long-tongued” and some say they are “not long-tongued”. So, which is it? After spending a couple of hours with Google and a stack of books, I’ve come to a conclusion, but itÃs not crystal clear.
This post is about the NZ Natural Beekeeping Conference that Gary spoke at. This includes the full speech and slide show for people that didn’t make the event or for anyone that wants to relive the talk.
