  Good information. Regarding the Chronic Bee Paralysis virus, i noticed it in a colony with a historically high mite load. I was surprised you didn't advise to check and possibly treat for varroa. Ive also heard requeening can help.

  Thanks for your comments. Paralysis virus can occur without high varroa. We know very little about the pathology The colony was already treated I see single bees it in every colony

  We’ve had carpenter bees for years and they are harmless to people. They have a tendency to fly right up to our faces, we usually just stop and say hi.

  He was simply licking the salt from your skin. They usually get the salt they need from natural sources, but if they find a source close, they will use it. Wasps, honey bees, and sometimes smaller species of hornets will do the same. As long as you don't swat at them, they are perfectly harmless. ❤

  while salt is abundant in certain natural formations, its accessibility in the environment can be limited, leading animals, including insects like butterflies, to seek alternative sources like tears, sweat, and puddles to meet their nutritional needs.

  Nice pickup- no problem. They live on top of the colony until you open it. Then they scatter around and the bees chase them for a while and it’s over when you close the colony.

  I am sorry I missed this Bee Talk. I wanted to add that I have a camera on my hives and during the eclipse I noticed that about ten minutes before totality all of the bees returned to the hive and the entrance remained quite with no activity for about 40 minutes and then as the eclipse ended the bees started to leave the hives and resume normal activity.

  In hoping to start using Nucs to winter over and have been browsing u tube a lot. Using the 4 frame bottom board doesn't impede using the 5 frame deep? Can't your two queens go hive to hive cause your bottom board isn't separating the two hives correctly?

  Actually we DO have 9 frame hives in the U.S. I have a Lyson 8/9 frame hive (from Betterbee). You can either put 8 frames in with a follower board or put 9 frames in the hive. It's nice that this model of Lyson hive has interlocking boxes, so they are much less likely to separate and blow over. I like this hive a lot (my bees seem to like it too).
