Resources for Beekeepers and Beelovers
I have gathered some valuable sources of information.
Our knowledge about bees and beekeeping is the result of an ongoing learning process.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were able to invite a bee colony for a discussion to find out more about their secrets, how they are doing, why they are doing what they do, their way of life, point of view, what bothers them and what makes them happy? We can only observe, research, conclude and speculate.
The Apiary Map
The apiary map organises beekeepers and their apiaries on a world map. The purpose is simply to make it easy to see where your fellow beekeepers are and what bee subspecies they have. The map started out in Europe and has been growing ever since - it is now covering many apiaries all over the world.
Pan around and use the zoom control. Use the map controls to find the area you are interested in. Zoom with a double-click! Click on the hive symbols on the map to see information about that apiary. A yellow circle with a 2 km radius is shown to represent the foraging area of the bees.
When you are a beekeeper you can establish your presence on this map.
It is easy, quick and free.
it can be a bit slow at times
