The Lives of Bees, T.Seeley, Chpt 7
Manage episode 272302822 series 2790516
I'm back with the book review that never ends! This week, I cover chapter 7, which is all about honey bee reproduction, including such interesting subjects as the average amount of drones vs queens produced in a year; the optimal amount of worker bees that leave with the first swarm; what effects the production of 'afterswarms'; and how the honey bee is much like an apple tree! Confused? You soon will be! Or not, if I've done this right.
I also spend a little time discussed robbing behaviour in bees, and what you can do about it.
Please check out my website for a rundown of everything discussed as well as handy-dandy diagrams from the book, and pretty photos from my homestead.
Take care of yourselves, and stay safe out there!
