RE: HELP NEEDED from Beekeepers : where should I put the new bees?
We've had bees at the farm where I live and I don't think an obstruction is too much of a concern. It can actually help protect them and provide privacy. But I was not the bee lady so take my words with a grain of salt..... That said, I'm gonna Resteem this in hopes that it'll help you find more qualified folks to help you. I'd say just use the old infrastructure and do what you can to give them some more bee food (wildflowers, multipurpose flowering trees etc). I think it'll go fine ! Anyone else wanna chime in?
Thanks for this @ecoknowme, and thank you for the resteem.
Sounds like the chosen spot may be good.
In preparation for bees we have been busy planting a lot more flowers and herbs this year. So hopefully the bees will be happy with what's on offer at our floral restaurant 😊
That's great! And if you have an concerns of colony immunity. I took a Mycoremediation course with Paul Stamets while he was in the middle of starting his BEE research regarding Fungi. Basically, you can grow fungi of different types and the bees will come and Eat the mycelium to get extra nutrients and medicinal compounds to boost their health, just like they would in the wild. Anyway, it CAN be very easy to grow fungi for yourself and extra for them, so if you feel like experimenting, in addition to the flowers, I'm happy to hook you up with info, if not, just thought I'd mention it. Cheers! @pennsif looks like you'll be having a sweet time either way.
Hi @ecoknowme, that does sound interesting about the mycoremediation. I would be interested in more information on that. Thank you.
Sure I'll write out an article with the overview and resources to get started, cheers @pennsif !
