The major purpose of the queen is to lay eggs. During April and May she lays day and night, each egg taking about 20 seconds. That’s over 2000 eggs a day, more than her own body weight. The queen mates only once and holds sufficient sperm from the male drones to lay eggs for 3-5 years, incidentally the drone bee dies in the process which must come as a major disappointment for him. There are 3 types of wax cell used for eggs.

A Queen/King Bee is the person responsible for forming hives or a colony, for increasing membership to their hives or colony, and for overseeing the activity of their hives or colony. Please refer to our Queen/King Bee Program overview for more information on the Queen/King Bee's responsibilities, or if you are interested in becoming a Queen/King Bee.

We specialise in skin care and make-up for sensitive, problem and dry skin. Our range was devised in 1927 by dermatologists who could find no suitable existing products for their patients so formulated their own. We still use the original formulations. We produce high-quality, gentle cosmetics which are suitable for even the most sensitive skin and eyes. We use only ingredients which are known and historically proven to cause little to no allergic reaction in sensitive skins.

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.

Honey bee venom is a colorless liquid, placed between glass and rubber sheet. After drying, it is a white powder-like material if protected from oxidation. If it is not protected, oxidation will change the color from white to brownish-yellow. Changes caused by oxidation of certain components of the venom may decrease its healing effect. Bee venom is an organic compound. There are different kinds of venom such as: pure whole dried, whole dried and freeze-dried (lyophilized) bee venom.

In the summer a worker bee only lives for about 40 days. As no young are raised over the winter months, the workers born in the autumn will live until the following spring. A queen can live up to 5 years however for the beekeeper a queen is passed her prime in her third year.

mentioned above the bees use the position of the sun and there is evidence of sensitivity to the earth’s magnetic field. Also bees eyes are sensitive to polarized light which penetrates through even thick cloud so they are able to ‘see’ the sun in poor weather.

When a bee stings, barbs in the lance of the sting cause it to firmly stick into the victim pulling out the venom sacs and glands when the bee is shaken off. The venom sac muscles continue to pump after these organs have been torn from the dying bee. Only the female workers and the queen can sting, the queen having a smooth sting which she uses to kill other queens.

The Queen was actually born on 21 April, but it has long been customary to celebrate the Sovereign's birthday on a day during the summer. Since 1805 the Sovereign's 'official birthday' has been marked by the Trooping of the Colour ceremony, normally held on the second Saturday in June. The Union Jack flag is flown on public buildings and the national anthem is sung. No particular ceremony is held on the Queen's true birthday.

The Crown, which represents both the Sovereign (the person on whom the Crown is constitutionally conferred) and the Government, is the symbol of supreme executive power. The Crown is vested in the Queen, but in general its functions are exercised by Ministers responsible to Parliament and thus Britain is governed by Her Majesty’s Government in the name of the Queen. However, the Queen’s involvement is still required in many important acts of government.

The transformation from the single imperial crown held by queen Victoria to the 16 crowns held in personal union today by Elizabeth II took place as part of the process of the transformation of the British empire into a free association of independent states. In the 19th century, many British colonies were granted limited self-government under the crown, and this autonomy increased with the creation of Dominions, the first of which was Canada (1867).

In motel terms, a double is a sleeping room with one double (54 inches wide) sized bed and a bathroom. A twin is a sleeping room with two double sized beds and a bathroom. The Queen is an English lady of noble birth who has yet to visit our (relatively) humble establishment. The term Queen also serves to define the size of large beds that are 60 inches wide. This is no reflection on the size of Queen Elizabeth.

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.

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.

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.

Some homosexuals enjoy the theatrical parody of women and are known as 'drag queens'. The term is believed to have originated with Elizabethan theatre. In those days women were not allowed to perform, so the parts were played by boys or small, slightly men. Female costumes were heavy and were dragged across the stage. No known bio-chemical (biological) cause can be demonstrated to exist.

Bee venom therapy may cause pain, the degree of which depends on the tolerance of the patient. It is possible to lessen the pain by applying ice, a cooler tool or even a cold silver spoon onto the sting site. Bee venom solution may also be mixed with Xylocaine or Lidocaine to desensitize the affected area. Is there any method to use BVS without injecting it? Bee venom solution can be administered by electrophoresis or ultrasonophoresis.

Honey bee venom is a colorless liquid. After drying, it is a white powder-like material if protected from oxidation.
