Bee Colony Collapse Disorder: New Bait Lures Varroa Mite To Its Doom. Honey bees in the past five years have begun to just vanish - something called Colony Collapse Disorder. The whole hive just disappears, no bodies on the ground, just all gone. And the experts are not sure why (though US EPA has recently (finally! Thyme ess...

My Own Beeswax: August 2009
http://ownbeeswax.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. So here is the embarrassing truth: I forgot my password to get back into this blog. Duh! I had written it down somewhere, but well, couldn't remember where I'd put it. Reverse engineered my way back to it somehow and here we are. Interesting the difference that the timing of swarming makes. Always something going on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Own Beeswax: Autumn beekeeping
http://ownbeeswax.blogspot.com/2009/10/autumn-beekeeping.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Who would have thought that a hand full of powdered sugar would make a hive of bees so mad. Well it does. My amazing beekeeping mentor and fellow journey-woman beekeeper came over to help me ready my hives for winter. I had been feeding the girls sugar syrup (2:1 sugar to water, pretty gooey) for about a month now. I was so mad. And I felt I'd let my girls down by not checking earlier (I should have started checking in late summer). And furious at the mites. Do You Need To Combi...

My Own Beeswax: May 2009
http://ownbeeswax.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Missing: thousands of bees and an adventuresome new queen. I was told several times when starting this adventure that we are "bee-HAVERS" not "bee-KEEPERS.". Queen Elizabeth's hive swarmed yesterday and it was a magnificent (though exasperating) sight. I checked the hives for swarm cells as I described in my last 2 posts and was sure I didn't see any last Saturday, but Queen Bess and her ladies in waiting hid one from me. How do they know who leaves? Sunday, May 17, 2009. 160;I w...

My Own Beeswax: Corn Syrup linked to bee colony collapse
http://ownbeeswax.blogspot.com/2009/10/corn-syrup-linked-to-bee-colony.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Corn Syrup linked to bee colony collapse. An important new scientific study. On the toxic effects of feeding high fructose corn syrup to bees. Government researchers have found that high-fructose corn syrup, which is used as a sweetening agent in thousands of products, creates potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance when heated. C) photo by A. Schneider. During repeated tests, the researchers found that when the HFCS is heated it forms hydroxymethylfurfural or HMF w...

My Own Beeswax: Air circulation and feeding in winter
http://ownbeeswax.blogspot.com/2009/10/air-circulation-and-feeding-in-winter.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Air circulation and feeding in winter. From http:/ basicbeekeeping.blogspot.com/. LESSON 66: Screen Bottom Boards In The Winter and Fall and Winter Feeding. In a previous lesson, I shared several approaches on how to prepare for winter. In this lesson I want to go into more detail about screen bottom boards and winter feeding. WHAT ABOUT WINTER FEEDING? So my approach is two fold. 1) During the fall only, after most nectar is no longer available, I want to prevent robbing...
