Research in wild building with honey bees has shown that the combs are built in such a way that one can notice from the outer combs to the middle that a Y can be seen (held up to the light). In our practice we also take this into account and we hang the frames in this way in the hives. | ||||
Y - upright | Y - is upside down |
Frames marked with a Y or red line so that frames hang well from the outside to the middle. What is the result? Firstly, the bees do less sting and secondly swarming disminishes to a big degree. More about this can be found at http://resistantbees.com/anordnung_e.html |
