Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constructive Beekeeping For this system or theory of housing bees I am making no extravagant claims, and had no thought of giving the public the result of my study and experiments until I had given them a test of a few more years, but the present necessity for increased production makes it the first duty of every person to stimulate in every way that he can this production; and if this system proves to be that will-of-the-wisp that the beekeepers have been chasing, a conclusion will be reached sooner than could be by my individual effort.

Book excerpt: CONSTRUCTIVE BEEKEEPING: The Classic Guide for the Practical Beekeeper provides expert instructions on building and maintaining beehives, offering detailed and easy to follow techniques for all phases of honey production with specific emphasis on temperature, wind, moisture, evaporation, sunshine, altitude and fostering the fertility and vigor of the queen. "Bees always respond to similar treatment under like conditions by giving uniform results. The beekeepers' trouble is that he makes his treatments uniform but not his conditions." "Commercial beekeeping has for its object the production of the maximum quantity of well ripened honey at a minimum of cost. Swarming adds greatly to the cost of producing honey. Most methods of swarm-prevention have in them the element of destructiveness. Ventilating, removing the queen, shaking the bees, removing the brood, exchanging brood-bodies, loosening the cover, all destroying something that the bees have done, or adding to the work to be done in the hive. Let me state here that you are not going to be told that absolute swarm-prevention is a possibility, nor will you be told that honey can be produced by absent treatment. What you will get from a good understanding of the following pages is that the beekeeper who takes advantage of the laws relating to condensation of vapor, and follows where the bees have been leading will have advanced one step nearer the swarm less bee. Instead of going to the hive and telling the bees (by manipulations) "don't do this" ; say to them "keep all your brood, keep your queen, keep the cold damp air out of the hive and I will make your hive so perfect a condenser of water vapor that the work of evaporating water from the nectar will be done quickly." We will bring team-work into play, and each get the benefit of every advantage gained. Constructive beekeeping helps by getting the honey ripened quickly each night and stored out of the way of the queen. The hive will then be maintained in such a condition that the bees have the greatest amount of comfort in relation to the results produced." "When we compare evaporation by the aid of ventilation with that which takes place aided by condensation, and give this an application of the laws of heat, with its three ways of communication; conduction, convection and radiation, the tension of vapors; and the stillness, dryness and density of the atmosphere, our conclusion must be that condensation is so uniform in its results, that it eliminates everything ascribed to locality, but the number of flowers and the weather conditions that affect the flight of bees and the flow of nectar. All other Conditions, by the aid of condensation, can be controlled by the beekeeper. Ventilation and shade each make more room in the hive, but not with uniformity under all conditions; So we must add to the treatments we give the bees, a well varnished inner surface to the hive, and a cover that, at no time, permits of upward ventilation. Then the bees will be able to keep the nectar out of the way of a queen, whose egg-laying capacity is increasing daily. Room, and the procedure whereby the bees automatically make more room as they need it, is the single thing that we have to consider in urge prevention."

Book excerpt: Today's beekeepers face unprecedented challenges, a fact that is now front-page news with the spread of "colony collapse disorder."

The new edition offers the same holistic, sensible alternative to conventional chemical practices with a program of natural hive management, but offers new sections on a wide range of subjects, including: The basics of bee biology and anatomy Urban beekeeping Identifying and working with queens Parasitic mite control Hive diseases Also, a completely new chapter on marketing provides valuable advice for anyone who intends to sell a wide range of hive products.Ross Conrad brings together the best "do no harm" strategies for keeping honeybees healthy and productive with nontoxic methods of controlling mites; eliminating American foulbrood disease without the use of antibiotics; selective breeding for naturally resistant bees; and many other detailed management techniques, which are covered in a thoughtful, matter-of-fact way. Whether you are a novice looking to get started with bees, an experienced apiculturist looking for ideas to develop an integrated pest-management approach, or someone who wants to sell honey at a premium price, this is the book you've been waiting for.

Download or read book Beekeeping for Beginners written by Randy Stevens and published by Chronos Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to harvest delicious honey in your backyard to give your flowers the boost they need? You’ve always had a bit of a green thumb, planting both food crops and flowers. But recent years have been disappointing, and you’re considering scaling back your garden. That’s when you visit your friend. They’re always up to something, and this year is no different. Walking up to their house, you’re greeted by a garden that is positively bursting with color. The backyard is remarkably, even better. How did they do it? “Bees,” says your friend, casually. The bee colonies they started a couple of years ago have ensured fully pollinated plants and great harvests. This, not to mention the side business he started selling the honey and wax. They suggest you do it, too. There are a lot of reasons to keep bees, including: ⚫Pollinating your other plants ⚫Improving harvests ⚫Harvesting honey, wax, and pollen ⚫Getting outside more often ⚫Supporting the local ecosystem ⚫Starting a business In recent years, there has substantial growth in urban agriculture and homesteading. This includes beekeeping. Aside from the benefits of a better garden and outdoor activity, it helps the ecology and food supply. The Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that if the trend continues, by 2035 the common honeybee might disappear. This means that at a macro-level these highly-effective pollinators are needed more than ever. In addition to making a valuable contribution to the world, beekeeping is a meditative and relaxing activity. Handling bees with ease in full gear, you can’t help but look like a rockstar. Of course, there is work and learning involved, but this effort can be invigorating, even before considering all the other benefits. The first step is figuring out if beekeeping is for you and then starting small, step by step, to get firsthand experience. Here’s a select sample of what you’ll discover in Beekeeping for Beginners: ⚫Step by step instructions for setting up and cultivating your bee colonies ⚫Drones, workers, and queen, oh my! Understanding bee colony dynamics for a happy hive ⚫Gardening for bees – finding your bee’s favorite plants for productive colonies ⚫A complete list of considerations and expectations to determine if beekeeping is for you ⚫Building your beehive with effective design and straightforward construction ⚫Protecting your hive from common threats and keeping them healthy ⚫How to find the necessary support to avoid costly mistakes And much more. Some people are resistant to starting bee colonies because the thought of being around a lot of bees can be intimidating. The key is to wear the right gear, start small with just a couple of colonies, and practice the techniques to build facility and confidence. After a while, the bees become just a normal part of the routine. If you want to level up your garden and do something epic this year, scroll up and click the ‘Add to Cart’ button.
