Getting rid of evolving queens and harvesting honey necessitates opening the hive regularly. That's basically what beekeeping's all about [besides giving the honey water, but that's hardly a craft]. Guinea fowl will eat bees if they're allowed near a hive. I wonder if they can be used to control bee numbers. At the end of the year [/honey season] the bee numbers have to go down drastically or they start consuming honey. The flesh of Guinea fowl that have fed on first rate bees should be healthy enough... Scobies will likely do a similar job of eating bees. When you don't want them eating bees keep them away from the hives. If you do want them to, they'll pick the bees right out of the air as they enter and leave the hive and gobble them up in no time. nondisclosed_email@example.com (TheLivingShadow)Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:19:28 +0000 beekeepinghttps://b2012overleven.runboard.com/p1284,from=rss#post1284https://b2012overleven.runboard.com/p1284,from=rss#post1284- bees - honey - honey products - mead - beekeepingnondisclosed_email@example.com (TheLivingShadow)Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:10:44 +0000
