Dear beekeepers, I’m in need of your advice. My team of developers is developing an application that would help professional beekeepers in their work. It would be of great help if you could read my proposal and give me feedback about it (feel free to be honest). The application would allow beekeepers easier hive tracking in order to save time and increase honey yields. Also, our application would allow monitoring queen’s genetic), using data from those tracks. In summary, the application would include the following: - Data tracking for every inspection (with notes) - Monitoring queen’s genetic, - Decision support system - Inspections Calendar - Mapping locations where hives are (for your purpose). Each hive would be marked with the code, which will be scanned with your phone, and then the application would automatically open the track for the hive. I'm looking forward to hear your opinion on this. Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I’m still in progress and due to that I can add new features easily. If you want to get the demo version of app for free (when it's ready), leave your e-mail at this link: goo.gl/a0PBSL

Conserving wild bees

Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.

Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.

There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
