Have you seen a beehive from inside? This is my hive of urban honey bees, after a season with little activity and movement in the runner, I managed to see a few days ago that many bees entered and left more frequently. I went out to look for beekeeping tools and opened the hive, the surprise is that they begin to collect nectar and pollen again, because they start to open the flowers of the trees that surround my house.
It is the moment to take care of it urgently, because it had something neglected and it had several weeks without adding pictures with stamped wax or doing the routine handling of a hive. I think that these days I'll upload several publications on beekeeping and honey bees, if you like this topic, stay tuned!
History:
This hive of honey bees came as a swarm to my house, about a year ago. I practice beekeeping on my farm, but just those days I had some empty beehive boxes at home which I was going to take to the farm. One afternoon observe an unusual movement of bees, because in the city is very rare to see swarms of honey bees and many bees that have been annihilated with insecticides by living holes near buildings or some holes in the trunks of trees in parks.
When I went up to the balcony of my house (where I had the boxes of beehives) I noticed that the swarm had naturally entered one of those boxes.
I waited the next day to check the box with my equipment and beekeeping tools and there I was, a swarm of bees very, very tame in a beekeeping box and on the balcony of my house, it was my new group of pets that would accompany my plants and my bonsai on the terrace.
I think I will have a few more months on my terrace and then take them to the field to mix them with the mestizo bees of the field, so I will have a line of bees more gentle and more productive, which is a quality that all beekeepers want. I hope you like this video!
