reginacidio
childbirth from home to do my first reginacidio.
arrival in hives. I open the door
polystyrene cores.
I remove the diaphragm, it moves outside of the combs, pointing directly to the central one.
pull it out and look now at the center, slightly to my right, where eight days left before I had a real cell at opercolatura.
not find anything.
it seems strange. I mentally count the development cycle of the queen bee
from first to third day -> the fourth to eighth day
egg -> larva
from the ninth to the fifteenth day -> pupa opercolatura with the ninth
days 16 days -> flickering
then, or the cell was capped immediately after my visit of June 5 and the virgin and flicker just before the visit of 12, or there is something wrong. maybe it will be a queen ...
early to understand something I try to look for the tired old queen nothing, no trace of quell'esserino speckled green. and say that I had also brought a box to preserve it for future purposes.
at this point, the virgin shall be flicker effect and the workers must have curled up the queen. better that way, I was spared a murder.
expect the next few days to see how it goes flights fertilization, of course the incoming rain will not help.

What Happens When Deworming Puppies
the modification of the beehive the controversy continues
continues, albeit slowly, changing to fit the hive pollen trap steals "Metalor.
to facilitate the work, the other time, I removed the bottom from the rest hive, hours after he took the measures, a friend, tools more talented than me, has pierced the running board so as to derive the hole under which implement the collection tray. as a "model" for the hole, I used the measurements of the trap grid alloy, my guinea pig.
made the holes, the idea was to simply staple the grid on what remains of the step, but the effect did not like. the source network, with that step ... not even the bees would have liked.
so I created a small step, even in millimeters of where you want the grid. now the work seems more serious and over.
parallel I proceeded to prepare the hollow bars, those tight little holes where the bees will have to squeeze back home, losing the harvest cost hours of work. but this will sell in an upcoming episode.
tornado Arno, as the grid I used two different networks, to beehive I used a mesh network of three mm welded, as that league, the other hive I used a network, always 3 mm mesh but not paid. mount that is welded definitely more comfortable, the other tends to "fray". but we'll see how they will behave in the field.
sull'arno at this point the job is done, then do nothing but assemble them to see how they look.

oxalate
the queen has just started to lay, there is no percolating brood, the mites are all the bees ... what can be want more!
my family is located in a favorable phase for quite a treat with ' oxalic acid.
oxalic acid: it works, is relatively well tolerated by the bees, does not contaminate the honey, it's cheap and easy to use and then is allowed in organic farming.
would seem the perfect product.
fact, as also noted in an editorial in the number Raffaele Cirone three quarters of 2010 Apimondia Italy, the oxalic acid is successfully used in beekeeping for over 20 years, the cra bologna and disseminate the study 's use, is available in several regions of health plans, associations and consortia promoting the Bee, etc.. etc.. etc..
but something last April has created chaos. the Veterinary Service of ASL Sienna has heavily fined a beekeeper who used it. since then it seems that the upper floors have noticed that something did not return: there is authorized to market a product based on oxalic acid.
is simple to explain why that company would have the convenience of spending money (from what I've heard about € 500,000) to authorize a product that costs little more than nothing?
and then what? wait till the cows come home, even if it seems that something is moving, and to kill our bees or ...
