Treatment Free Beekeeping

Going into the fourth year with this genetics treatment free, here are some of the characteristics starting to make sense.

A surprise find turned out to be another lesson in the brutal ways of nature. What happened and how this may be helpful to our other hives.

I have no idea. Perhaps you have an explanation. We expect deep freezes in a few weeks at night so not sure if there is a reason to need more foragers. Here are some ideas.

Just like the movie I guess, yesterday October 18 was Drone Purge day. What could have triggered this sudden purging of drones? Here are my thoughts.

In two weeks, I'll be beta-testing our new platform to analyze honeybee activity at the entrances to a hive from pictures or video clips. Here's how you can help.

This new project for 2025 is based on our work and others in beekeeping. I will only open the hive twice during the year, making it very much a hands-off approach. Will it work?

Here is why we believe drones will be very valuable in September. What do You think?
