Beekeeping, Beekeepers closeup of entrance fanning by honey bees. WATCH the upside down bees, I’d never noticed that before. This is September so the orange goldenrod pollen is flowing in,very humid because of rains so the extra entrance fanning for nectar evaporation.The Bee pollen coming in on the honeybees legs is high in protein and will be fed to baby bees or mixed with honey to make royal jelly to raise a queen.

Bee keeping in Surrey
Richard, Nick, Jeremy and Grace transport bee frames from the suburbs of Merstham, Surrey to Holmbury St Mary, high up in the Surrey hills, ready for the spring and summer. It is also a chance to count the number of colonies in the hives, wearing beekeepers’ veils. Only six of the hives are colonised so far this year.

Did you know that the colony collapse disorder is not affecting organic bee hives?
Here is a quote and a link http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_5194.cfm
Sharon Labchuk is a longtime environmental activist and part-time organic beekeeper from Prince Edward Island. She has twice run for a seat in Ottawa’s House of Commons, making strong showings around 5% for Canada’s fledgling Green Party. She is also leader of the provincial wing of her party. In a widely circulated email, she wrote:
“I’m on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list. The problem with the big commercial guys is that they put pesticides in their hives to fumigate for varroa mites, and they feed antibiotics to the bees. They also haul the hives by truck all over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the colonies.”
