It is important for bees to have beehives that are insulated against cold as well as heat. Badly insulated hives cause stress that result in disease, winter losses and absconding of bees. A well-insulated beehive supports the best environmental conditions for a bee colony and reduces stress, ...
isn't so prone to swarm as much, great honey producer, light on excess propolis and makes nice looking white comb honey. A great bee for someone new to beekeeping.POOR TRAITS:Can drift between hives and not find their home. Are prone to rob other hives during a dearth. A dearth is a...
from prairie/grassland to commercial soybeans and corn production made the areas less suitable for beekeeping, due to both pesticide exposure and the loss of forage habitat. Dolezal et al. (2019) also found that intensive agriculture reduced floral resources in a landscape, which contributed to ...
Bee honey (Apis mellifera) had an important role in history. The first records of beekeeping date back to 7000 BC (cave paintings in Spain), and bee fossils are known from approximately 150 million years ago. Honey was used as an embalming material, to preserve fruits and to obtain alcoholi...
The aim of this study was to identify the different carbon emission sources in honey production systems while also examining the different honey types. The resulting main impact factors with respect to beekeeping systems can be useful in identifying mitigation strategies. 2. Materials and Methods The...
bee colonies kept in Langstroth hives. The effects of ABA were evaluated in combination with two different beekeeping nutritional strategies to confront overwintering: “honey management” and “syrup management”. Specifically, we evaluated strength parameters of honey bee colonies (adult bee and brood...
