Bee Stewardship / 8's r GR8!
|
Having some challanges with arthritis and "bee-ing" a part-time beekeeper the push for quality over quantity makes sense.
Going to 8 frame medium system makes visits to my bee yard enjoyable rather than need a helping hand to lift heavy 10 frame hive bodies & full supers. Or needing to take time off due to strained body parts!
Seems that Brushy Mountain lead the charge back towards 8 frame equipment and more now offer it - Better Bee has 7/8 thick wooden ware, Ross "specials" 8 frame cypress systems for the same cost as their 10 frame in the standard 3/4 thick. I've got all three doing a comparison, plus a home made 7/8 cedar setup.
Book has a well thought out progression for all beekeepers, especially those that may be holding back beacuse of the heaviness of 10 framing.
Think it's a must have for all, and when companioned with Natural Beekeeping very helpful to backyarders/small bee yarders looking for alternatives to "modern methods" of 10 frame and chemicals!
Hive management for me is settling to be 3 medium supers running black pierco brood frames (sometimes just two "hive mediums") & having three mediums with white piercos for honey supers.
The Brushy Mountain Garden Hive Copper Top fits all & makes the beeyard quite a conversation topic. |
