Beekeepers to Solve Bees’ Problems;
Seek Ways to Boost Honey Production|
By JOE COLLIER
Taking a tip from their own hives, Hoosier beekeepers today clustered in Indianapolis for the annual meeting of the Indiana State Beekeepers Association, with sessions in the State House. As usual, the two fopics of conversation will be (1) how to keep bees doing those things which are illogical to the bee and (2) how to keep bees from doing things which would make the most sense to them.
At the moment, of course, all bees are bunched up in hives and doing very little at all, except that those on the outside are constantly wiggling inside to get warm and edging the warm inside cnes out, with the result that the cluster seems to breathe. At the precise moment when the temperature in a hive drops to 57 degrees Fahrenheit, bees cluster. When it goes back up over that,
they un-cluster and start cleaning:
house—removing casualties, etc. If it gets much warmer, they take a trial spin outside to get glue. When it is 57 degrees to somewhere in sub-zero they are relatively quiet in the cluster. When it gets extremely cold, they begin to flap their wings and buzz around to generate heat, All manner of attempts have been made to heat hives artificially in winter, but all have failed because of the hair-spring thermostat of
the bees. If he isn’t clustered at 57, he begins to work, which would be bad since there is nothing for him to do. If he is clustered, all he can do is eat anyway. Beekeepers don't like bees who gather glue and have tried to breed out that tendency. Nevertheless, gathering glue is the most logical thing a bee could do for himself, since they use it to seal up the hive openings, keeping out weather and mice. Beekeepers would rather do that themselves, since.the glue the bees gather from vegetables is very sticky and messy. : The beekeepers also will talk over how to get bees to produce more and more honey in-the summer, and there is nothing the average ibee needs to know less about. They lalready produce about cne third more than is good for them. Normally, bees have about one third of their last summer production left over next spring. There is nothing like a surplus to make a bee feel very rich. When he feels rich over having lots of honey left over, the bee idiotically leaves the supply and swarms outside. The swarm then breaks up into other little swarms and it is only when the whole colony is throughly separated, disorganized, hungry and without homes that the bees get down to work again. Bee keepers don’t like this, naturally, so, for the bees’ own good, they take off about one third of
the production. This they sell to pay them for the trouble of plugging up the hive entrances for the bees.
As much as anything, the hives have to be plugged because of mice. The average mouse has learned that he will be stung to death promptly if he tries to raid a hive in the summer when the bees are active. But he _has also learned that bees won't hurt him when they are clustered in the cold. : The beekeepers will devote considerable time, too, to devising methods of inducing the general public to eat the surplus honey.
