If you have a pair of observation hives, simply expose the bees in one observation hive at regular intervals to enough Bee-Quick to induce a noticeable reaction, while marking newly-emerged bees to be able to record the average lifespan of a statistically significant number of bees. As a control, have a second observation hive that is never exposed to Bee-Quick, but otherwise treated identically.

It certainly is much safer than all other "bee repellents", since it is the only one that is non-toxic, and the only one that is not classified as "Hazardous Materials". Since Bee-Quick produces vapors through oxidation, we suggest that you avoid splashing Bee-Quick in your eyes, but other than this obvious warning, you need take no special precautions.

We have an "attitude problem" on this issue, one we hope you share. We feel that nothing except honey should be in honey. If you spill ANYTHING into honey, we hope that you will not sell it. Bee-Quick liquid, when used correctly, stays on the fume board, and only the vapors come near the honey. Both Bee-Quick liquid and the vapors produced are non-toxic, which is something that no other product can claim.

That would be telling, wouldn't it? Colonel Saunders never listed his 11 secret herbs and spices, and we are not going to reveal our formula of oils and herbal extracts, either. If anyone has any concern about Bee-Quick's ingredients, note that the bottling plant that we use bottles nothing else but food for human consumption. They cannot have any unsafe or non-food-grade materials to come anywhere near their shiny bottling equipment.

Nothing will get all the bees out of every super. There will always be a few bees that are too stubborn to leave, for reasons unknown. (There, we just admitted what no one else except a beekeeper will tell you! At least we are honest...) The few bees that remain in the supers are fairly easy to shake or brush off the frames. If you remove the "stubborn" bees from one super while waiting for the fume board to work on another super or hive, things go fairly smoothly.

If the bottle is unopened, still sealed with it's plastic wrap-around seal, and kept out of direct sunlight, Bee-Quick will remain ready-to-use for years. Once opened, the shelf-life depends upon how tightly you screw the cap back on. The bottle contains only a limited amount of air, and Bee-Quick reacts with air (oxidation/evaporation) to produce Bee-Quick vapors.

A brief history: Both beekeepers had difficulty in shaking and brushing bees at harvest. The son kept designing new and innovative escape boards, bought a very expensive, powerful, and noisy Stihl backpack-type blower, and after getting frustrated with each approach, bought a bottle of Butyric Anhydride.

Well, it is MUCH less expensive than other "bee repellents", when one looks at the total cost of using "the other stuff". We are not just talking about the Haz-Mat shipping fees, we are talking about costs like clothes that must be thrown away because you spilled Butyric on them, honey that was not made because you had could not harvest when you wanted and had run out of drawn comb, and so on. Bee Quick is even cheaper than fuel and maintenance for a leaf blower.

We do not know the exact temperature, but we suspect that you are worrying about the wrong temperature. The outside air temperature really does not matter on a sunny day. If you have painted the metal top of your fume board black, it will heat up to an acceptable temperature even on days that are "too cold for bees to fly". If the day is cool and cloudy, you can use a breeze board and get better results than you would with a fume board.

While our bee is copyrighted, trademarked, and service marked, as long as you don't use it in connection with things for sale (or as our lawyer says, "in commerce") we don't mind at all. If you include a link to the Bee-Quick website, this will make us very happy.

I advise against all bee products, including honey, pollen, royal jelly, and venom. Nectar is sugar water that flowers produce, in order to attract bees, so that bees will collect pollen and pollinate plants. Honey is nectar that bees collect, swallow, digest, regurgitate, and store; so honey is concentrated sugar and highly addictive. Bee pollen is the pollen that bees collect from flowers. Royal jelly is bee saliva that helps to produce queen bees.

Killer bee" is the name given to the Africanized bee by the media and Hollywood. The sting of an Africanized bee actually contains less venom than that of a European bee. However, Africanized bees have caused human and animal fatalities as a result of their heightened defensive characteristics (thus more stings from more individual bees), so it is important to carry a healthy respect for AHBs.

On average, most people will see a significant difference in the look of their skin within one or two weeks, in some cases after the first application and treatment.

Bee venom has many active components, however, during its collection it may lose its volatile fractions. Presently it is unknown if these fractions play a role in the healing effect. Improper preparation methods may also decrease its effectiveness. Bee venom from an uncontrolled source may be old, oxidized (brownish color) or improperly stored and consequently less effective when used.

Classic and standard procedure is to remove a live bee from its hive (or a bottle) with a pair of tweezers, hold it next to the skin, wait for it to sting, and repeat, becouse was really a problemm to pick the hint quantity of venom from a bee. Along with the science progress, has been verified and improved a method to stimulate the bees to sting using a device who generate an adequate electric shock directly on a collector frame who is usually placed at the entrance of the hive.

Bee venom is a rich source of pharmaceutically active components. In many European countries, in the drug category, we can find products containing bee venom. These products include creams, liniments, ointments, salves or injection forms for treating different human ailments. They are available by prescription or without a prescription in certain countries. Veterinarians successfully used bee venom injection to treat arthritis in horses and dogs.

Swatting is not a good idea because it will agitate the bee and cause it to sting more readily. Also, if the bee's body is crushed by swatting, it produces an odor (or pheromone) that incites other bees to attack the possible culprit.

Bee Pollen – the male sperm cells of flowering plants – is essential to the reproduction plants. Bee Pollen refers to pollen, which is collected and stored by honeybees in their hives. Bee Pollen is a dietary supplement believed by many to relieve ailments or promote good health and a feeling of well being.

Yes, their eyes are sensitive more to the blue end of the spectrum and into ultra violet. Flowers reflect large amounts of ultra violet light and to a bee will be very bright. Bees are totally red blind.

Florida Black Bear habitat is also good habitat for honey bees. The best way to prevent bear raids on apiaries is to surround the bee yard with a well maintained electric fence. The Wildlife Resource Handbook has detailed plans . The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission will provide technical guidance through their regional offices, and the guide Living with Bears provides more information, as does our Black Bear page.

In the drug category, limited information is available on the uses of bee venom in a tablet, capsule or drop forms. Nevertheless, there are dozens of products in the homeopathic category containing Apis mellifica. In this category, bee venom is also mixed with snake and centipede venoms and is taken orally to treat cancer. Bee venom capsules were developed and tested in the Calgary area for the treatment of chronic pain.

In the last year several new books were published on bee venom therapy and are available to the general public.These data base is updated monthly and gives you the most recent publications and information written by researchers.

We were thinking of calling the site "Careerfish" but it just didn't catch on with the creative staff. We all dig flowers and without bees there wouldn't bee any. Thus, careerbuzz.com! Like dinosaurs and sharks have been big...even Spielberg knows bugs are ready to take center stage. Hope you like 'em!!
