Work with bees in april
beekids, 16:05h
The development of the bee family was in full flow in April. In order to stimulate its development, we applied ApiGo preparation and sugar cake to all bee families.
ApiGo is a complementary feed mixture containing glucose, maltoderin and yeast extract.
We mixed 20 g of powder with 1 L of water. The solution is dropped along the honeycomb frames. 50 ml of the solution is used in one hive.
The Medopip sugar cake was laid on the honeycomb frames. In addition to sugar, this cake contain proteins and vitamins, which is a good for stimulation for the development of the bee's families.
Because the weather was bad in March, we also made the first detailed overview of the bee family in April.
The bee queen began to lay eggs. Because the trees and flowers are blooming, the bees have already accumulated some stocks of nectar and pollen. The abundant flowering led the family to the swarm mood.
In order to avoid unnecessarily hunting newly born families around the school estate, we decided to make artificial new families – with bees, eggs, larvae, pupae, and honeycombs. So we have created two new hives from the five hives that survive winter.
We also started painting new hives
and preparing new honeycomb frames.
In bee garden we also planted several shrubs,
on the pergola we planted vines, wild vines and clematis.
We cut grass around trees and we sowed sunflowers, asters, zinnias, nasturtiums facelia and other honey plants.
