An Outdoor Bee Demonstration
Date Posted: July 27, 2009 – 2:44 pm
Question:
Our state fair is interested in having a live hive demonstration this year. I have thus far discouraged the idea of handling them behind a screen because I anticipate the bees would get pretty stressed out if we did it for any number of days.
They seem interested in setting up a perimeter around an outdoor hive and providing a wireless mike so I can do some demonstrations there. I expect I can do a simple talk once a day and pull out one frame so people see how the hive works without making the bees too cranky. The things I am a little concerned about include horses that run the sorghum mill and bees ending up in the trash after sodas.
Answer:
My thoughts (in no order of priority) are:
- Either way, caged or opened, the bees are going to be stressed. After the event, anticipate helping the colony with bees from other hives to bring it back up to speed.
