Hi. I live in Chiba Japan on the pacific coast, and as a hobbyist have kept A. Cerana Japonica for 10 years or so in and around Tokyo. Two of my hives were taken over by A. Mellifera swarms early this spring, and due to poor swarm management I now have one strong and three weak hives. I have been guest snooping here for a while, enjoying your many helpful tips and food for thought while I learn some management differences. Please allow me to absorb your knowledge going forward as I take this new journey with my mellifera ladies.

Paul, welcome to our forum, wonderful that you have found us. It is great to have new members from different parts of the world, and that you are part of. This WILL be the place where you can get advice, a place to tell your stories, tales and experiences, we love new members. You are deeply held under the spell of the honeybee, as we all are, just something about these little critters that compel us to be involved with them, to get to know them, and accept what they give us in the way of that golden liquid beauty. Stick around. Have a most wonderful day, with a great life and health. Cindi

There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee. Robert Service

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

Thanks for the warm welcome.... I see another member (richardschmauss in Nagoya), so I may be the second from Japan.
My main ladies are A. Cerana - so any questions there, and I am happy to help out. but for A. Mellifera, I will be borrowing all of your techniques.
Thanks, again....

I spent a nice year and 1/2 in Chitose, Hokkaiddo, Japan way back when. Japan is my 2nd favorite place in the world after the good ol USA.
Glad we now have a beekeeper from ther.

Yes - I needed to look him up - found him on Wiki. I like his skillset combination - grandmaster of martial arts and a bone mender. That is really rich. |
