Beekeepers MUST kill the adult small hive beetles before egg and larva stage. Larvae eat thru honey comb in search of bee pollen making honey leak and ferment,called sliming. Bees then abscond from hive leaving a sticky mess even other bees barely rob. To clean up I put boxes over ant mounds to begin removing crud,then a few days in the sun to dry up honey slime. This is going to be a major beekeeping problem if not controlled in states like Florida,Georgia,North South Carolina,Alabama,Mississippi,Tennessee and Louisiana. Other states Will get them,forget cold weather,they winter at edge of honeybee cluster just fine.

I’d like to become a beekeeper?

I would like to become a beekeeper. I recently followed Haagen-Dazs on Facebook who have a lot of updates about helping bees for their “help the honeybees” campaign. I don’t know how legit this is (though it makes me like buying their ice cream a lot more), but based on a Google search I did, most of the info I read said that if you really want to help bees, the best thing to do is become a beekeeper (hobbyist or otherwise). I have always loved honey and bumble bees and have no fear of them – and I normally have fear of other insects. I’d like to know more about beekeeping and how to get into it. I really would like to help them because, as an avid gardener as well, I would miss them terribly, not to mention they are vital to our ecosystem and existence. So, yeah, any starting points please?
