Bee Stings are not Something to Mess With
Bee stings are not something to mess with. That bee stings hurt like heck is common knowledge, but being stung by a bee can be a frightening as well as life-threatening event. Not only does the pain and burning of a bee sting affect young and old alike, the sting of a bee can be deadly.
What You Need To Know As A Beekeeper – The Different Hive Occupants
le these days are looking to keep bees, and there are many good reasons to do so. I thought it was best to start at the beginning. So I have to apologise to any experienced apiarists who may have chanced upon this article. Having apologised, this article is of course not aimed at you. Rather those starting, or thinking of starting in the world of beekeeping. Also those who may be looking to beekeeping as an alternative source of income. I think it’s quite important that anyone wishing to become a beekeeper, either as a hobby, or hoping to make an income from beekeeping, should know something about these wonderful creatures, bees are fascinating, as well as necessary. Good husbandry in beekeeping means that you will need a good working knowledge of bees, their habits, and their requirements. So we start with a description of the occupants of the hive. That is to say the Queen, the Workers, and the Drones. A prosperous, healthy colony of bees in midsummer will consist of a Queen, plus 30,000 to 60,000 Workers, and maybe 300 to 400 Drones. Although the Queen is named as such, she is not in fact the absolute ruler of the colony, rather she serves it from a position chosen for her. Born specifically for the role, potential mother to millions. She is the longest living of the bees. She may live for several years. In her size, physical form, and colouring, she is unique in the colony. Whilst not as bulky as the Drone, she is the longest, and darkest, as well as being surpisingly delicately proportioned. Her one purpose is to propogate, she mates once, then exclusively lays eggs. Up to 3000 a day. This only ceases on old age and death. The Worker bees are the smallest in the colony, they are all females, like the Queen, but undeveloped. A Worker bees’ life is just what the name says, work, all work and no play. It’s a short life too, if they are born at the beginning of summer they will only live a few weeks. If a Worker bee is born in the autumn they may well survive the winter, to start the work which as yet unborn generations will take over. They gather the nectar and the pollen. They manufacture wax for repairs and the building of the combs (the colony’s larder and cradle). They feed the Queen, nurse the young, clean the hive, and also defend it. The Drones are the male bees. They are thick and bulky, but not as long as the Queen. They do no work, their sole reason for existence is to fertilise the young Queens. So they are tolerated in the colony. They can come and go freely, and are allowed unlimited access to the honey cells. Although they may seem to have the ideal life, it is a short one, and the Drones that survive till the close of autumn will be driven out of the hive to die. A short life, but a happy one, you could say. Well, that’s a brief description of the occupants of the hive. As I said before, that’s just the very beginning. It is a wonderful hobby, and if you want to keep bees I recommend you learn as much about the subject as you can beforehand.
