Hi all!
first i’d like to thank Solomon for making this possible! It is amazing to hear and read that across the world people are showing that we can keep bees in a way that is less harmful for them.
last year I started with a bio dynamic bee keeping class hosted by biologist Albert Muller. He is keeping bees treatment free for a lot of years. Last year i also got my first swarm. Black bees, not the best for a beginner, but you cannot be picky when they are given to you.
i had given them a “BD approved” home made from old simplex (the Dutch standard) boxes that were attached to each other so that the long frames we use fit. I believe our frames are dadant turned 90deg. Like in a layens hive.
Over the past few weeks i have been building a new hive with my, nearly three y/o, son. He is of great help 😉
apart from a new hive i also need a new swarm as the swarm of last year sadly died. I think I didn’t give them enough ventilation.
now, let me discover how to post pics to this as with pics everything is better. Do i need to host them 3rd party or can they be uploaded to the forum?
