Feeding Honeybees Throughout the Year
£11.50
This book integrates Honey bee feeding into a yearly strategic plan, which has not been done before. To be successful, the beekeeper should think six months to a year ahead. While sometimes a colony may need feeding immediately to keep it alive, a long-term plan is crucial for colony management.
"Beekeepers spend considerable time ensuring their colonies have adequate nutrition. In fact, beekeepers often consider nutritional stress one of the most significant threats to honey bee colony health. Thus, it is imperative that every beekeeper be able to recognize nutritional stress associated with nectar and pollen deficiencies and know how to remedy these issues as they arise. Fortunately, Dave MacFawn developed a guide for these very purposes."
"In this book, Dave shares multiple strategies, tips, and tricks that beekeepers can use to ensure their colonies are well-nourished. Even the most experienced beekeepers will find something they can use to manage their colonies’ nutritional health. able to recognize nutritional stress associated with nectar and pollen deficiencies and know how to remedy these issues as they arise.
