Do you think a keen bee keeper might like to put a hive in the middle of one of our beet fields? Would that work or wouldn't the bees like the move twice in one year?
the bee farmer here moves his bees about to different crops through out the year
more than 3 miles or not at all
the husbandry and management of bees is a complex as any other livestock farming
just leaving them in a field to fend for them selves gives poor results just as it does with sheep pigs chickens or cows
i am sure that many of the reported hive losses are due lack of attention weather disease and not pesticides
