Honeybee Democracy, T.Seeley, Chpt 5

HomesteadHensandHoney

Hello from snowy Ohio! This episode, we are tackling Chapter 5 of Honeybee Democracy by Thomas Seeley. This chapter focuses on the studies Seeley created to ascertain what sort of nest cavity is considered acceptable but not ideal by honeybees, in an attempt to deepen his understanding of how scout bees make decisions when assessing nest site options.

I also talk about a sick hen who is cozy and warm in the house during her treatment period, a naughty whippet who is eating gross things, the loss of some of my bee colonies, and the fun that is Chip Drop.

Head on over to my website for photos and a rundown of everything discussed in this episode.

Stay warm and cozy out there!
