Agriculture › When You See A Bee, What Do You Think Of??? by saliubello(op): 1:20pm On Jul 16, 2018

When you see a bee what do you think of?

Sting?
Insect?
Buzzing?
Honey?

But do you think of food??

Without bees and pollination much of our food wouldn't EXIST..

how did you source out bees

how can intrested folks get them unto new fresh hives

There are various ways of getting bees into the hive.

1. Natural method: Involves baiting the hive and waiting for a swarm to colonize it. The commonest method. I use this method as a lot of people do too. However, for better honey business; we need to move away from this method.

2. Splitting a colony: This is done by breaking/splitting a colony. It involves your intervention while using basic knowledge of rearranging the top bars depending on the attached combs.

3. Buying a colony: This involves buying a starter colony from a professional. It will be shipped to you. Even it can be ferried from Nigeria to Australia. This is the stage I am aiming at. You don't wait for a swarm to catch, but you create your colony and the required number you need. But I'm currently liaising with a Pro who can be supplying colonies to newbies who want to start for a fee.

Ayanfeoluxyz:
I have learnt Never to underestimate the importance of vaccination in poultry. I couldn't believe my eyes watching IBD(Gumboro) wipe out my pilot layer birds(Isa brown) @ week 7 just because I kept on postponing their vaccination. 51 birds died within 24 hours

Prompt and routine vaccination programme is very essential for good growth in poultry.

Other areas where people get it wrong are:
1. Proper administration of the vaccine.
2. Correct transportation mode of vaccine is another.
3. Preparing the birds prior to vaccination is another. Too much Stress for the birds can be harmful.

I am a poultry farmer. I have been on for 2 years now. My worst experience is ordering birds from poultry plaza. Those guys don't take time to select day old chicks probably because they already have the name. Their birds were dying anyhow. No one should even say management cos it's the same management I had been using before that particular birds and have still been using with success.

Thanks for sharing.. hoping that others will share theirs.

For new entrants in bee keeping, there are some fiixed assets you must first invest on. They are:

bee hive,
protective clothing,
hand gloves,
knife, cutlasses and
sieve. These are basically the most important for starting a beekeeping enterprise.

Factors affecting the quantity of honey you can produce per colony/beehive. These mainly depends on a number of factors that are interconnected. Some of the most important factors that affect the amount of honey produced are:

Availability of bee pasture
The queen’s condition
Hive population
Nutrition
Swarming
Space in the hive for expansion of the brood nest and storage of honey
The colony’s freedom from pests and predators
The beekeeper’s experience in both apiary and hive management
The weather

How to make money from Beekeeping huh

There are varieties of ways of making money from Beekeeping.
1. Honey sales:: You can make money selling the product- honey. It is an all-time commodity always in demand. Either with marketing or not, they will come seeking it. Especially if it is confirmed to be original. You set your price, provided it's genuine.

2. Propolis.
3. Bee wax.
4. Bee equipment and accessories sales.
5. Training in beekeeping: It is advised for new entrants to join a training session in beekeeping. Where you will be taught about the art of beekeeping. What you need to look out for in the beehive, how to locate or site your apiary, understanding the business and workings of bees, what equipment your need and the best type of beehive for you.. Learning is the first step to success! Dont do like me by wasting your money and time while trying to save cost unnecessarily and still spending more for less productivity.

i am thinkn of going with flowhives with plastic flowframes and all ,thati fully want to go for this you mind if we talk privately

we are coming there. That's where we are going.. But if we just start there with this African bees, we might not get it right.. Once I start that next chapter, will definitely share the stints with you..

The practice is still crude and rudimentary but we have initiated the plans for acquisition of those high tech variants. Stay tuned.

Top bars. 2 variants. Flat or pointed..

I prefer the pointed, the combs are built along the edges. The flat types encourage crisscrossing of honey combs

Financial matters..

A standard Kenyan Top Bar hives can yield up to 25litres, so the literature says. I have never achieved that. Maybe I get 8-10 litres per hive or less.

My learning curve indicates it can be more.

When I first started, I get about 100 litres from 26boxes, ( 100 x 2500N, trust me, I made that cash. Sometimes ago, I made a thread about honey in 2015, check on nairaland) the boxes includes mostly students' hostel cupboards that were converted to beehives, without any manipulation or management practice, just leave and go.. so if i can make standard sized beehives with adequate management, I should reach 25litres per hive in future

Unfortunately, I lost all those beehives to fire incident at the site, but I'm starting all over now..

Currently i have 10 standard beehives in a good location free from thieves and roaming animals or fulani maruders. I'm anticipating minimum of 50litres because I do not have time to take care of them..

I will keep you posted..

Once I visit, I will bring pictures.

Not satisfied, this is where we are going in terms of clean, smooth and efficient honey processing

This system involved the "oyinbo styled" beehive that you be harvesting honey every 2 months if the environment is rich in flowers of all shades

Honey processing

The process was usually by hand squeezing. Un-hygienic and labourous.

I solved that once and for all.

I saw this and I made this! Honey processing becomes easier and faster and clean too.
