A Question…
I have been pondering an interesting question of late:
“How many people are interested in keeping bees, but don’t know
where to access a beehive that is inexpensive and easy to use…and
is bee friendly as well?”
Let’s face it, times are tough and money is tight. We are all
tightening our proverbial belts and finding ways to cut expenses.
At the same time, honeybees need our help. They need us to give them
good homes and lots of love.
You need a beehive solution that is both friendly to the bees and
friendly to the wallet at the same time.
I have the solution, and I will tell you about it in the next post.
Look for that post sometime tomorrow!

Marika left this comment on “Thoughts On Varroa Mites”
Hi Nick,
1 question I have re: dealing with varroa mites- with Langs you have a sticky board so you can check on mites – I am wondering how you keep tabs of varroa mite with a Warre hive, and from what I am reading it seems as though one leaves it to nature and are not doing anything to get the mites to drop off the bees, onto a sticky board, etc. Is this correct? and how do you look out for mites and what do you suggest beekeeper w/Warre hive do to keep an eye on those pesky mites?
Many thanks!
Marika
