BEEKEEPING TERMINOLOGY - words we use

<< < (3/5) > >>

Michael Bush:
BTW as far as I know the term "nucleus" hive was coined by L.L. Langstroth in "The Hive and the Honey Bee".

Pingers

A term that I use to describe guard bees than ping the veil, even though they have been smoked.  Once in a while, there is always the rouge pinger.

With kind regards,
