October issue BBKA news
Matchsticks yet again on P335 but more worrying a the BBKA Honey survey does not have any entry to capture any indication of hive heat loss. e.g. hive construction material, or ventilation practice
Honey is stored energy and requires energy to gather and even more energy to ripen from nectar.
Heat loss from hive is energy being lost and is directly equivalent to honey being lost and therefore has a direct effect on honey yields. This is not just theory but is borne out by the experience of one of the largest honey farmers in the UK.
