Bee Hives

I collected some empty bee hives from a nice woman I met at the apiary meeting. I also collected a travelling screen from the nice chap I met at the same time. I'll need these hives to move Ally's WBC hives, because apparently you can't just move a WBC hive, you have to transfer the bees into a National hive first.

Just to keep things complicated.

So now I'm off to spend a happy hour going over the hives with a blowlamp to sterilise them.

Cool! Bees are such fascinating and amazing animals, and we can learn so much from them. Too bad they are in serious decline now. I saw some really cool coverage of bees today at http://www.thedailygreen.com/.

The blowtorch is a good idea, it would be terrible for you to catch something from people helping you out.

Adekun :-), the blowlamp is to prevent bee diseases from spreading. Sadly bee diseases and mite infestations are now rife, and a large part of modern beekeeping seems to be about preventing and dealing with disease.

Sounds great - I am so looking forward to seeing how you get on

Your reply to Adekun seemed to suggest that there's more disease round nowerdays for bees than there used to be. Are there any ideas as to why this might me?

I watched Inconvenient Truth recently and it was said we're having milder winters, so some diseases and pests which usually die back in winter due to the cold, simply aren't, so they're growing from strength to strength each year.

What do you think?

In addition to what you mentioned Mel, I found it a great tool to clean your tools (part of the first point) and to get pine cones going for the smoker.
I don't get to watch any UK telly now, but I've since stories on the BBC website about the huge drop in bee population over in the States - perhaps due to mobile phone masts?
