Beekeeping
Wintering Bees
As the temperatures start to drop and the days get shorter, beekeepers know it’s time to start preparing their hives for winter. This is an essential step in ensuring the health and survival of your bees throughout the colder months.
Small Hive Beetle Management
To minimise the damage caused by SHB, beekeepers should follow a set of preventative measures, particularly during the summer months when temperatures are above 30°C and humidity is 70% or higher, as these conditions are ideal for SHB activity and reproduction.
The Benefits of Beekeeping
Beekeeping, also known as apiculture, is the practice of raising honeybees for their honey and other products such as beeswax and propolis. But the benefits of beekeeping go far beyond just honey production. In fact, beekeeping has numerous ecological, economic, and educational benefits.
