Жаль что языковой барьер зачастую ставит перед людьми непреодолимые преграды!!!А вы из какой страны?

Здравствуйте!Скажите,а вы занимаетесь пчеловодством в многокорпусном улье Лангстрота-Рута или предпочитаете его двухкорпусную модификацию с магазинами?Извините,что не знаю вашего языка!У нас,в России,тоже обретает популярность улей Рута!Правда,более популярна многокорпусная модель,-с магазинами почему-то не любят,хотя они легче корпусов!С уважением к вам...

@sergey8675 Я не знаю вашего языка тоже. Это Лангстрота ульев.Пчелы, как размер и они легки в управлении.

bee raising is cool

[redbrookhoney]

@evolvingfruit They are mongrels! A mix of carniolan, russian and italian. We have some queens of each race and some that are a mix of all 3. The key is they survived a Maine winter before installation last spring.

thanks for all the uploads. I live in NJ and have 1 hive this year being my first. I looked today and there were about 30 dead bees at the bottom.Will they survive the winter?

[redbrookhoney]

@manvilletrain It depends? The key is the size of the remaining cluster and how much honey they have left. In my area at this time of year  we like a watermelon sized cluster and at least 10 deep frames of honey and a few frames of pollen in the hive. They may loose a few thousand bees over the winter and still have plenty of cluster size to stay warm.

@redbrookhoney cool. The size is pretty large and there's about 10 full frames.So I just hope for a good winter for the bees.Thank you.
