Honeybee Democracy, T.Seeley, Chpt 3

HomesteadHensandHoney

Hello lovelies! The book review continues with Chapter 3: Dream Home for Honeybees.

Please see my website for diagrams, photos from the book, and a full rundown of all the information covered.

CORRECTION CORNER: during the 'location, location, location' section of this episode/chapter, I realised too late that I had written down some dimensions incorrectly (and somehow missed them during my read-through). So here is the corrected information: To test entrance preference, if any, Seeley offered a swarm a pair of boxes; 1 box had a typical nest entrance area of 12.5 sq-cm/2.5 sq-in, and the other had an atypical entrance area of 75 sq-cm/25 sq-in.

Sorry about that! Talk to y'all in 2 weeks where I will cover Chapter 4. Take care & stay safe!
