Download or read book QueenSpotting written by Hilary Kearney and published by Storey Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of every bee hive is a queen bee. Since her well-being is linked to the well-being of the entire colony, the ability to find her among the residents of the hive is an essential beekeeping skill. In QueenSpotting, experienced beekeeper and professional “swarm catcher” Hilary Kearney challenges readers to “spot the queen” with 48 fold-out visual puzzles — vivid up-close photos of the queen hidden among her many subjects. QueenSpotting celebrates the unique, fascinating life of the queen bee and chronicles royal hive happenings such as The Virgin Death Match, The Nuptual Flight — when the queen mates with a cloud of male drones high in the air — and the dramatic Exodus of the Swarm from the hive. Readers will thrill at Kearney’s adventures in capturing these swarms from the strange places they settle, including a Jet Ski, a couch, a speed boat, and an owl’s nesting box. Fascinating, fun, and instructive, backyard beekeepers and nature lovers alike will find reason to return to the pages again and again.
Download or read book Practical Advice to Beginners in Bee Keeping Classic Reprint written by Joseph Tinsley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Advice to Beginners in Bee-Keeping If one observes a healthy colony in the summer time, the bees will be seen to enter and leave the hive in rapid succession 5 the laden bees returning from the fields and the workers setting out to collect pollen and nectar do not loiter at the entrance to the hive. They have no time to waste at the gates. They are too busy. But with the onset of the disease there is a marked difference in the behaviour of the bees. They have no longer any desire to toil in the fields. They seem to have lost their characteristic energy. They crowd round the entrance of the hive, occasionally clustering and displaying a general appearance of listlessness. This lack of vitality is the first noticeable phase of the disease. A peculiar feature of the wings - the so-called split wing is often observed in bees suffering from Isle of Wight disease in its early stages. Normally the bee, when in the act of ight, unites the fore and hind wings together so that the two wings on either side of the thorax act as one. (this union is brought about by a series of hooks on the anterior margin of the hind wing engaging a series of catches on the posterior border of the fore wing.) But when the bee contracts Isle of Wight disease this power of union is often lost, and the wings appear quite separate. It should be Observed that this split wing appearance, though quite characteristic, is not in itself diagnostic of the disease. Occasionally a sick bee may be observed drawing its posterior legs over the abdomen - as if the bee realised a sensation of pain in that part.
