RE: Red Bee Lights And A Mega Honey Harvest!

in #homesteading5 years ago

Wooww... Honey Party..Honey Party!
That's really abundance!
Anyway @crytocraigking.. why people harvested the honey at night?
I was once had the bee-hive right in front of my bedroom (direct to the yard) and when the honey was dropping to the floor, the bee harvester came and started to work right after the sun sets.

Sort:  

Well good question, bee swarms on average of 40 000 bees a swarm and up. Albeit the necessary protection (bee-suits) etc they are extremely dangerous animals. Imagine just a percentage of those stinging you? We have the most aggressive bee on the Planet in South African Pretoria (Apis Mullifera Skuttellata) they don't play, so night time is our 'insurance policy' were they to go on the 'rampage' cant see and cant go any further than their hive. Safer for us and everyone else and the general local environment. It is bee-keeping done right. Cheer$;)
