Smoking the entrance makes the colony think there is an impending risk of fire and triggers the 'fight or flight' response. They eat up honey in preparation to leave the hive but this also makes them less inclined to sting.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/cleaning-stuff-for-bees.jpgCleaning stuff for beesI had brought a bottle of soda water solution and tubs for collecting waste material from the hive, but there wasn't much time to clean up wax or dead bees due to the inclement weather.

Rain is needed to stimulate nectar flow in plants, flowers and trees, but sunshine is needed to evaporate rain water from nectar and to allow bees to forage. Too much rain dilutes nectar and washes away pollen leaving no food for bees. The precarious balance of nature means survival or doom for honeybees. © Drew Scotthttps://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/me-feeding-the-bees.jpgMe feeding the beesMe feeding the bees.

A shook swarm is an extreme method to get rid of disease, while a Bailey comb change is a gentler way to replace old comb and not loose any baby bees!https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bailey-comb-change-4.jpgBailey comb change 4Rosemary's hive now has two brood boxes for the Bailey comb change to be carried out over the next few weeks, and a third shallow super box on top to allow space for a feeder with syrup under the roof.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bailey-comb-change-3.jpgBailey comb change 3Here I am pointing to a dummy board (a plain wooden board) that we put next to the last frame of brood in the bottom brood box. This encloses the nest and helps encourage the bees to move upwards into the new brood box. We use exactly the same arrangement of frames in the top brood box.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/queen-bee-on-my-thumb.jpgqueen bee on my thumbEmily kindly sent me this photo of Queen Lavender hitching a ride on my thumb back to the hive.

And don't forget a handy Uncle David to help you put it all together!https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/200418_10150150048143383_750843382_8070939_3278060_a1.jpg200418_10150150048143383_750843382_8070939_3278060_aStep 7: Put the crown board on top of the supers to prevent naughty honeybees from climbing into the roof and making messy brace comb. The crown board can also be used as a clearing board in summer for honey extraction by placing it between the supers and the brood box. The slots are covered with rhombus escapes which allow workers to go down into the brood box, but don't allow them to get back up. This empties the supers of bees so that they can be taken away for honey extraction.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/200418_10150150048138383_750843382_8070938_1662261_a1.jpg200418_10150150048138383_750843382_8070938_1662261_aStep 6: Make a couple of supers and fill with 10 frames each. One super of honey for the honeybees, and one super for me!https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/197103_10150150038943383_750843382_8070853_7377864_a1.jpg197103_10150150038943383_750843382_8070853_7377864_aStep 5: Place the queen excluder over the brood box to keep the queen in the nest and prevent her from laying eggs and rearing larvae in the honey stores. You don't want to eat honey with bits of baby bees, yuk!https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/197103_10150150038938383_750843382_8070852_2426446_a1.jpg197103_10150150038938383_750843382_8070852_2426446_aStep 4: A handy harmless queen excluder. The slots are big enough for workers to pass between but the queen is too large to get past it.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/197103_10150150038923383_750843382_8070850_1703467_a1.jpg197103_10150150038923383_750843382_8070850_1703467_aStep 3: Knock up 11 deep foundation frames for the brood box and 20 shallow foundation frames for the supers. The workers draw out the wax foundation into honeycomb for the queen to lay eggs in the brood box and to store honey in the supers.https://missapismellifera.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/197103_10150150038908383_750843382_8070849_6227213_a1.jpg197103_10150150038908383_750843382_8070849_6227213_aStep 2: Make the brood box.
