#NSW police are appealing for information after dozens of #beehives were stolen from a property in the stateโs Northern Tablelands.
The beehives โ 80 boxes in total, worth about $150,000 โ were taken some time between 31 March & 6 May from a rural property about 15km west of #Bonshaw village, 100km from #GlenInnes.
The boxes are described as cream in colour with blue baseboards, blue and white lids and red, clear boards. They were full of #bee colonies. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The scene of the new beehive location. It's a little sunny in the morning, then shady underneath the white spruce tree (yes, it shoudn't grow here), and then a few hours of blazing hot sun in the afternoon. It's probably not colder in the winter but more exposed to any north wind. This will only be for new hives, too close to move existing ones easily.
The new hive emptied the feeder so I checked on their progress. 6 frames of comb built it looked like all the way to one side. I mixed up some oxalic acid and glycerin and put some OAE pads on it too. There's a bit of a flow now so I probably won't feed anymore and I'll put another box on next week if they have the last few frames built out.

Honey from Melania Trump's White House beehive was used for a special dessert at the state dinner for King Charles. This is the first time honey from the expanded apiary has been used for such a high-profile event.

Since they are consuming it so fast I switched to honey at 1:1. This is two hours elapsed.
I decided to put a feeder on the new hive and they've consumed almost 400 grams of sugar in 15 hours. Randy Oliver says it takes 600g of sugar to build one deep frame of comb. It will be 5 days today since they were put in the box.
The new hive with the caught swarm has pollen going in and the bait hive might be back to scout bees and no robbing.
