HIIVE: An energy-efficient geometry
The unique cavity of a tree hollow isn’t created by a woodpecker but by a naturally occurring fungus that enters through a broken branch and grows upward with rising moisture.
HIIVE: during the coldest months
During cold months, your HIIVE is engineered to support optimal thermodynamic and hydrodynamic conditions by emulating the insulating properties of natural tree cavities.
Varroa management
Last month we talked briefly about varroa mites, their impact on honeybee colonies, and treatment options using Oxalic Acid.
October in your HIIVE
October in your HIIVEOctober is a turning point for bee colonies as they prepare for winter, and Varroa destructor mites pose a heightened threat during this time
Want Honeybees in Your Orchard?
Whilst UK research (Free, 1970) shows the importance of bees for pollination, research elsewhere has often questioned this.
September is a key month for colonies
September marks the gentle shift from summer into autumn, and natural beekeepers / HIIVE stewards take on a supportive role as their colonies prepare for colder months
