  1. My Romanian #apiarist acquintice responds to;
    "How are you?"
    With;

    NO DISEASE YET !

    I THINK he means the bee disease...
    ...but it could be his eastern Euro optimism...

    Irregardles, its now my head canon how that question ought to be responded...

  4. Question for those who know about #honey. I guess that includes: #apiarist #beekeeping

    I purchased this tub of honey yesterday and it's got a lot of dark brown particulates in it. I'm not sure what they are at all. Is this anything you might expect to find in honey?

    It doesn't look like bits of honeycomb to me, but I could be wrong. It's commercial stuff that is usually processed to the edge of its life and very clear. It is possible its a very foreign contaminant.

    I've already demanded a refund from woollies, would like to figure out if maybe its fine despite this stuff in it.

  9. I've got another jar of this fresh super tasty mangrove honey from my #apiarist friend...

    ...I will be a better person this time and not give myself sugar shock eating all of it in one sitting with a spoon like a savage.

  12. I've made a terrible mistake...

    ...I bought a jar of fresh Mangrove honey from a friendly #apiarist 🐝 last market

    It's almost gone.

  15. #Australian #beekeepers are paying for #imported supermarket honey to be #tested for purity, with early results showing other products being added.

    The industry tested 30 products, with some showing signs of adulteration.

  16. #Varroa mite detected in #SouthAustralia for first time!

    The discovery was made in a #beehive at #Pooginook in the state's Riverland during routine surveillance by PIRSA inspectors.

    The infested hive is believed to have originated in a consignment of hives from Queensland. #auspol #bees #apiarist

  17. Saddest news I probably heard in 3 months.

    Spoke to my #apiarist friend yesterday, the bees in my state have no honey to give this year.
    The drought in the dryest state on the dryest continent was so bad.
    #climate change 🥺

    I knew this year was bad, because I couldn't find any shrooms, but it's BAD.

  19. So there's this Greek myth that says Zeus was fed by bees when he was born. In gratitude, he blessed them with the color of "shining bronze", and made them immune to cold and harsh winds. These bees lived in Zeus' sacred cave in Crete, and aggressively chased away anyone who tried to steal their honey.

    Any #apiarist or #entomology expert out there who could tell me what these bees are by any chance?...

  24. Hi #beekeepers especially any in #Scotland. I came across a hive of wild bees in the Isle of #Bute. These were very dark, almost black. I have a vague memory that black bees are the native strain & quite rare. Is this right? My picture is not great but the best I could do. #apiary #apiarist

  29. After years of the ritualistic cadences and PPE-less bee-scooping of Erika Thompson of Texas Beeworks (“and it was another great day of saving the bees”) I have discovered on YouTube an Australian #apiarist who is somewhere near #Geelong and who says stuff like “and they’ve got their bums up” and accidentally drops a queen he is trying to mark with a Posca for easy ID, and swears when #bees sting him

    His videos are about inspecting his regular hives as opposed to bee removals from where they shouldn’t make hives, and he shows each frame he removes so it is interesting to learn what a healthy #beehive should be like

  33. NEW POST: The science of identity ... how guard bees recognise nestmates, why drifting bees are accepted into other hives and why robbers are only sometimes rejected.
