My articles constitute a journal of my own learning experience in the application of the understanding of bee biology to the practice of beekeeping, and should be considered in that context. I make an effort to add important updates to articles on this site, but it may help to read the most up to date articles first.
Bee Behavior and Biology
These sets of articles offer methods from hundreds of hours of scientific trials for managing hive dynamics and maintaining colony health. It covers important topics like bee drift, mite migration, and seasonal population changes, offering insights on how these factors impact mite control, swarming, and hive organization. You can also learn how primer pheromones influence hive stability, and help you make informed decisions to manage mite spread, support strong colony buildup, and maintain hive stability through pheromone-driven bee behaviors.
