In Beeman's hive
|
The golden
rule of beekeeping is to respect bee space – that magic 3/8 of an inch providing
such happiness for a bee. Anything wider
and they will fill the space with burr comb.
Anything closer and the space is filled with propolis, the sticky glue
used to seal gaps.
Respecting bee space is also about acknowledging closeness. The closeness of working among so many
thousands of stinging insects, the closeness of the veil on your face, the
closeness of working alongside others who share your passion.
Loving the blog! Keep the posts coming :)
