Home Up Observation Hives Cell-plug Queen Rearing ... Links John's Beekeeping Notebook Backyard Beekeeping Notes on Keeping Bees in Urban and Suburban Neighborhoods Many beekeepers have bee hives in their back yards. Some bees are even kept on city roof-tops. Bees can travel several miles to collect nectar and pollen, so they do not need flowering plants close by. Most suburbs have plenty of flowers, and bees can make a good crop of local honey. City beekeepers must take special care so their bees do not become a nuisance to neighbors, or even appear to be a problem. We all want good neighborly relations! Bee stings are usually neighbors' biggest concern. Usually, beekeepers can care for their bees in ways that allow neighbors to feel safe and comfortable in their yards. The Fence A Fence is important for most backyard beekeepers. A six foot high fence or shrubbery can serve several purposes: Forces the bees flight path above people's heads. Bees normally travel in a straight path to their hive, and a fence raises their flight path up over everyone's head. A fence reduces the chance that a bee will accidentally collide with someone walking nearby. Creates an "out of sight - out of mind" situation. Some people may be overly concerned about bees in the neighborhood. A fence hides most evidence that managed bees are in the neighborhood.

WENNER The Elusive Honey Bee Dance "Language" Hypothesis In the mid-1930s, Karl von Frisch proposed the equivalent of an odor-search hypothesis for honey bee recruitment to food sources. A decade later he switched to the equivalent of a "dance language" hypothesis (though he apparently did not consider his conclusions as hypotheses in either case). . . . PLANS 5 Frame Nuc Beehive A nuc hive has all the features of a standard 10 frame hive except on a reduced scale. The nuc hive is used for making splits, swarm control, queen introduction, pollen/nectar monitoring, to name a few. ELEMENTS OF BEEKEEPING Alternative Hive Designs The idea for this hive came about from talks with Dennis Murrell in Wyoming. The two things I have heard over and over from other TBH users has been the fact the bees can, and will, attach the comb to the sides of the hive interior when only top bars are used. . . .

8. A Guide To Beekeeping - Buzzzzzzz! A beginner s guide to beekeeping. From knowing the bees to choosing a hive. http://www.beekeep.com/

A guide to beekeeping. Beekeeping guide Basic Bee Information The key to getting into beekeeping is understanding the bees. There are three types of bees found in a bee colony, and each has their own specific role to fulfil. The most abundant type of bee in each colony is the Worker bee . This is a female bee that is incapable of reproduction and has tasks both inside the hive and out. These tasks include 'housekeeping' which takes place for the first two weeks of a workers' life. Housekeeping involves repairing damaged sections of the hive, clearing away bee carcasses, and feeding the queen with royal jelly which only bees of less than ten days old can make because they have a special secretion from their mandibles at that age. After two weeks, worker bees can fly and so are sent out to collect nectar and pollen. After another two weeks of collecting worker bees are put on guard duty, protecting the entrance to the hive from intruders Drone bees are males whose only job is to breed with the queen. They are only allowed in the hive if they will mate with the queen, and then they are sent out. No drones live permanently in a bee colony and workers keep them out of the hives in the autumn so they die each winter. Drones do not have the necessary tools to collect pollen or nectar and are therefore useless apart from their breeding capabilities. The queen is the most important bee in the colony and is very different from both other types found in a hive. The queen's job is to breed with the drones and lay eggs. It may not be much of a job, but it is through her that the colony can continue year after year. The queen lays enough eggs to keep the hive in workers for the spring and summer and also knows when to begin laying eggs again in the winter. There is only one queen per colony of bees and when she dies the worker bees will choose new worker larvae to replace her. In order for the worker larva to develop into a queen, they must be fed a special substance called '

The Georgia Beekeepers Association Beekeeping 101 Honey Bees and Beekeeping Honey Bee Biology Races of Honey Bees Preparing to Keep Bees Beekeeping Equipment ... Reference Books Honey bees ( Apis mellifera L.) are one of the most well-known, popular and economically beneficial insects. For thousands of years, man has plundered honey bee colonies to get honey, bee larvae and beeswax. In recent decades, bee plundering has given way to bee management. Now, honey bees are commonly kept in artificial hives throughout the United States, and a large and sophisticated beekeeping industry provides valuable honey, beeswax and pollination services. A large section of the industry, well represented in Georgia, is devoted to mass-producing queens and bees for sale to other beekeepers. Although many people make a living from bees, most beekeepers are hobbyists who have only a few hives and who simply enjoy working with these fascinating insects. Honey Bee Biology Honey bees, like ants, termites and some wasps, are social insects. Unlike ants and wasps, bees are vegetarians; their protein comes from pollen and their carbohydrate comes from honey which they make from nectar. Social insects live together in groups, cooperate in foraging tasks and the care of young, and have different types, or "castes," of individuals. There are three castes of honey bees (Figure 1): Workers - Reproductively underdeveloped females that do all the work of the colony. A colony may have 2,000 to 60,000 workers.

var name=prompt("Welcome Visitors!, please TYPE your name below","Type your name here!") Hello document.write(name); THE BEEKEEPING PAGE Welcome to the home page of Michael Mordenti from Lords Valley, PA located 75 miles N.W of NYC . I have been a hobbyist Beekeeper for 9 years (and still learning) I manage 9-11 beehives depending on the time of ( year ) . Hope to add more soon. I produce and pack raw spring and fall wildflower honey, pollen, propolis and beeswax from the wildflowers located here in the Pocono Mts. I also make beeswax candles and pack other products of the hive which are sold locally and given away to family and friends as gifts. For more information on these products feel free to email me at the address on the bottom of this page, or through my guest book. I created this web page to make more people aware of beekeeping, pollination and the benefits of pollen, propolis and raw unprocessed honey, compaired to the highly heated and highly filtered (only to look good honey you see on the supermarket shelves), this kind of treatment filters out some of the nutritional value and most of the pollen out of the honey.

Apiculture is very diverse; our fostering of several insect species to pollinate our crops and produce honey, wax, propolis and venom occurs worldwide. The old beekeeping adage: "There are as many ways to keep bees as there are beekeepers" describes this amazing diversity in beekeeping. Logically then, there is no "proper" way to keep bees, no "right" way to manage for honey production, or to rear queensthe best we can do as good beekeepers and as good neighbors is to share our techniques, lore, knowledge and experiences, basing them upon a rigorous foundation in insect biology. To assume though, that this foundation is stable, would be naive.
