Beekeeping means making decisions, and in the end, the bees do what they want ;-)
Beekeeping requires constant decisions as weather, forage, and colony development are ever-changing. Learn how flexibility leads to success.
Brood boxes after the Total Brood Removal (TBE), what options are there?
Learn how to effectively use brood incubators after total brood removal to create a brood-free Varroa window and build strong nucs.
Attention: There is now a risk of feed shortage, especially in nucs and mating units!
After the honey flow, beehives can unknowingly enter feed scarcity, especially splits and mating units. Regular monitoring of feed supplies is crucial.
After the honey harvest, every day counts; why we need to reduce Varroa immediately.
After honey harvesting, Varroa control is crucial for healthy winter bees. High Varroa loads can lead to overwintering issues in the long term.
Robbery during times of low nectar flow: why colonies and mating units are particularly at risk
In times of low forage, the risk of robbing in bees increases. Nuclei and mating units are especially vulnerable. Protect your colonies effectively.
Nursing larvae, transferring, emergence,… this free helper calculates the dates for you.
Don't miss any breeding dates: The digital assistant automatically calculates important dates in queen breeding and significantly eases planning.
When honey crystallizes in the jar
The crystallization of honey is a natural process and a sign of quality. Learn why early nectar honey solidifies faster and how to liquefy honey again.
The first days of a worker bee's life, why they can decide for the whole colony.
The early days of a worker bee are crucial for the entire colony. Their development and nutrition shape the future productivity of the hive.
A new way to document the inspection
Discover how Bee-Pilot Call optimizes colony inspections through simple voice documentation without disrupting the beekeeper's workflow.
Make sensible use of the foraging gap
