The Novice Beekeeper: A day of hive maintenance
http://novicebeekeeper.blogspot.com/2010/04/day-of-hive-maintenance.html
Here you can follow my adventures as I learn the art of wholistic beekeeping. Welcome to The Novice Beekeeper. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. A day of hive maintenance. After weeks of rain we had a sunny day, so we made the most of it and headed out to check the hives. We'd decided to try to get out there (weather permitting) once a fortnight just to check the small hive beetle traps and to see how they are going and if they need harvesting. We have small hive beetles in our hives, but they seem to be being ke...

The Novice Beekeeper: December 2010
http://novicebeekeeper.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Here you can follow my adventures as I learn the art of wholistic beekeeping. Welcome to The Novice Beekeeper. Friday, December 31, 2010. On December 15 we had an opportunity to get out and harvest some honey from our hives so we went for it. It's been raining here pretty much all year - I'm not joking! Miserable for us stuck inside and miserable for the bees too I imagine. The rain washes the nectar and honey from the hives and they just don't get the runs of fine days to work their magic.

Here you can follow my adventures as I learn the art of wholistic beekeeping. Welcome to The Novice Beekeeper. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. A winter solstic update. We'll its been a while between posts but things have been going well with our small apiary. We still have four healthy hives - and we're still harvesting plenty of honey from them. Just this month we harvested 30kgs from them and they quickly sold at our local markets on the weekend. We keep European Honey Bees and Australian Native Stingless Bees.

The Novice Beekeeper: October 2010
http://novicebeekeeper.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Here you can follow my adventures as I learn the art of wholistic beekeeping. Welcome to The Novice Beekeeper. Thursday, October 21, 2010. Finally - a bumper harvest this week! Finally we've had some clear weather to get out and harvest some honey from our hives. It's been a pretty miserable winter for the Sunshine Coast, lots of rain and when it wasn't raining it was either overcast or windy - or both. None of it good for beekeeping. Here it is finished but unpainted. Here is our first frame of the day ...

Here you can follow my adventures as I learn the art of wholistic beekeeping. Welcome to The Novice Beekeeper. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. The sun was out today and we were both home, so we took advantage of the break in weather (its been overcast and or rainy here for months) to check out our hives. We do try to get out there at least once a fortnight to take a look at them. We also change over the small hive beetle traps we have set (pictured ABOVE. This frame ( BELOW.
