Beekeeper (man): M Beekeeper (woman): W W: Good morning. M: Good morning, what brings you here? W: I’d like to ask for your advice. I have received a few beehives, and I would like to take up beekeepingmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509709230129_0beekeeping. Could you help me choose the right type of beesmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509709275109_0type of bees? M: There are three types best for rearingmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711739927_0rearing in our climate: Central Europeanmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711783415_0Central European, Caucasianmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711821858_0Caucasian and Carniolanmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711906018_0Carniolan. W: What are the differences between them? M: The Central European bee is quite big, thick and it has a broad abdomenmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711928345_0abdomen. It is dark brown. The queen beesmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711981627_0queen bees of this type lay eggsmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711999917_0lay eggs quite well, they don’t swarmmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712044951_0swarm often. However, when swarming appears, it is hard to restore the working moodmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712134867_0working mood in the colony. Those bees winter perfectly, they are resistantmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712061901_0resistant to diseases, but they are willing to attack. W: And the Carniolan bee? M: It is a bee of medium sizemfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712099701_0size, quite slim in comparison to the former one. It has grey, quite thick hair. It is a bee recommended for early honey flow, as they come to full strength already in the spring. The queen bees of this type lay eggs quickly and well. They have a higher tendency to swarm than the previous ones, but they quickly get rid of the swarm moodmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712659709_0swarm mood. They are quite gentle, diligent and active. They easily find new honey flow. W: I have read about the Caucasian bee, what do you think about this type? M: The Caucasian bee is the smallest of these three types. It is grey and has light hair. The queen bee’s efficiencymfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712699441_0The queen bee’s efficiency in laying eggs is the smallest. Its advantage is that that they show little tendency to swarm. Those bees are very gentle and hold on to honeycombs quite well. They have faults too: they don’t care about the order in the beehive too well and they are prone to exhibiting robbing behaviourmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712728876_0robbing behaviour. But they can protect their nest really well. The climate in Poland is not conducive to the Caucasian bee’s winteringmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509712755543_0wintering. W: Thank you for the advice. I think I will choose the Carniolan bee, due to the presence of people. M: I think that it is a good choice

M: Hello? W: Hello, it’s Ola - the beekeepermfbe1ff44bb330043_1509713672933_0beekeeper from the neighbouring apiary. M: Oh yes, I remember, hello, Ola, how’s your new apiary? W: I have a problem actually. During the colonies overviewmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715496480_0colonies overview, I noticed that one of the beehives is missing a queen bee. M: Why do you think so? W: There are drone brood cellsmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715542558_0drone brood cells in the beehive. The bees are sitting idly on the bridge and they aren’t flying outmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715567165_0flying out to the honey flow, nor are they bringing pollenmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715584702_0pollen or nectarmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715598670_0nectar. M: That’s right, it might mean that the beehive is missing a queen beemfbe1ff44bb330043_1509711981627_0queen bee. W: What should I do then? M: There are a few ways: you can rear a queen beemfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715634301_0rear a queen bee yourself or purchasemfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715677135_0purchase a new one. W: I have never reared a queen bee before, I don’t know how to do that. M: If you have found queen cellsmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715698519_0queen cells in another, strong beehive, you can transfer the whole framemfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715716053_0frame to the beehive that is missing a queen. W: Will that be enough? M: The bees will treat the larvamfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715760582_0larva with special consideration, will feed it with a lot of royal jellymfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715736195_0royal jelly and it will develop into a queen bee. A big queen cell and a lot of feedmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715771323_0feed offer high chances that the workersmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715960284_0workers will rear a new queen bee. W: And the other way? M: You can add a newly purchased queen bee to the colony. The colony will quickly adjust to the new arrival and will shortly begin to receive its pheromonesmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715978760_0pheromones. W: I don’t know if I can purchase a new queen bee in a short time. M: You can also joinmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715995705_0join two coloniesmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509715523005_0colonies - join the colony without the queen bee with one that is rather strong and has an equally strong queen bee. That way you will gain a new colony stronger than the colony with the queen bee. W: Thank you for all the advice, they are very valuable to me. I will try rearing a queen bee myself. M: Let me know when you succeed. Cheers. W: Bye.

B: I have checked the weather forecastmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964168123_0weather forecast, today is a perfect day for honey harvestmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964205571_0honey harvest, most of the collecting beesmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964223614_0collecting bees are out at the honey flow. S: In that case, I will prepare the apiary equipment. B: Did you wash the honey extractor properly? It is important to spin honeymfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964245308_0spin honey in hygienic conditions. The honey can go bad easily, any dust or sand can cause its fermentationmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964272164_0fermentation. S: I did. I have also prepared a clean bucket. B: Don’t forget about the strainermfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964293933_0strainer, so that the honey that flows from the spigotmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964310881_0spigot is filteredmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964327904_0filtered by the strainer’s mesh. S: Should I put a clean, wet towel on the spigot? B: Yes, it prevents the bees from smelling the honey and from flying near it. S: I have placed the bowlmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964349554_0bowl for cappingsmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964360481_0cappings and the forkmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964375751_0fork on the table. B: Let’s go to the beehives then. We'll try to use as little smoke from the bee smoker as possible so that it is not absorbed by the honey. We are carefully opening a beehive and we can remove the first frame. S: This frame feels very heavy, there is a lot of honey on it. B: Hit the top board of the frame with a fist to make the bees fall into the beehive. Swipe the rest of the bees with a sweeper and put the frame in the crate. Cover it with a wet cloth. S: The crate is already full of frames. I have left some honey in the beehive for bees to have feedmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964390126_0feed. B: Now close the beehive and let’s go to spin the honey. S: I will uncap the frames with a fork and put them in the honey extractor. B: Good. We have a manual extractor so we need to turn the crank slowly to avoid the honeycombsmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964407759_0honeycombs sticking into wire walls of the extractor. Small distortions of the honeycombs aren’t dangerous, the bee will rebuildmfbe1ff44bb330043_1509964407759_0rebuild them. S: Now I will turn the frames to the other side. B: After you finish, check if there is no more honey in the cells. If they are empty, we will take the frames back to the beehive. S: Won’t the bees be angry that we took their honey? B: They will definitely be angry, in that case the smoker will be necessary. Now we can start cleaning and washing the equipment.
