Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. Silent Spring, Stephen Hawking-style. If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe. Then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man. 8211; Albert Einstein. Speculation continues into Colony Collapse Disorder (previously covered in the Hive Mind blog here. Today, an intriguing piece from Synchronizm. To give navigational information. One stud...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. Well, thus far my latest sculptural experiment has been a dud. Witness:. No, don’t get excited, the comb that’s actually in the sculpture, I put there as bait, hoping they’d work off it. The comb that’s gorgeous and full all around the sculpture but not touching it? The bees put it there. First, if you have no idea why there is a tiny living room in my bee hive, see the Bees in the Living Room. Filled under: small cell. I’...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. I’m excited to try a new experiment this year: top-bar beekeeping! On the flip-side, having wire down the center, or worse, plastic, makes it more difficult to harvest comb honey: you end up needing a special contraption to separate your comb into usable parts. So this year, I’m starting a new hive as a Kenyan top-bar bee hive. In top-bar beekeeping, you don’t provide the bees with a frame or foundation, you simp...I didn’...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. Jeff forwarded me an article from Mad Science. That claims that bees on cocaine are “more altruistic” than their straight edge counterparts. The evidence: bees riding the rails perform the waggle dance (which shows the other bees where the honey source is) more often than sober bees. Ummm…so bees on coke dance more than straight bees? And that’s altruism.

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. In a previous post, I asked what the standard arrangement is when a beekeeper sets his hive on someone else’s property: do you pay rent? Or ought the property owner being paying for the pollination. One interesting tidbit came from Lou of the Gotham City Beekeepers. I got an interesting note from Lou of the Gotham City Beekeepers. You may not have known, or even cared, but beekeeping is illegal in NYC. So visit their web site an...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. Bee Phage and Bee Thieves. Bad news on the bee disease front. As if Varroa Destructor. Cool name for a parasite, eh? Wasn’t bad enough, there’s some new plague hounding the American bee population, Colony Collapse Disorder (originally Fall Dwindle Disease, a less impressive but more Carrollesque name). According to the New York Times. Crap-o. Maybe I’ll switch to tapping sugar maples. There are beehive thieves out there. And...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. In all my years, I have never dealt with a feister, more ornery bunch of bees than I wrangled with this Saturday. It wasn’t just the stinging, which there was a lot of (the suit is good but not perfect protection), it was that they just refused to go where I wanted them to go. Next, I set up about separating the bees from the comb. My strategy, which has worked in past years, is to establish a “clean area”. I...All in all, it lo...

Reposting or Liking Articles Without Verifying Accuracy Gives You Chlamydia. Based on comments from Rusty and some that I received through Facebook, I think the verdict on the Bee Kill question. Is clear: the girls found something they shouldn’t have. Rusty left this comment:. I couldn’t figure out where they would have gotten into pesticide at the end of November, either, but Krista Conner left a comment on my Facebook page that hit it:. The case comes together: the source of poison wasn’t. Is that of m...
