Canadian apiary store owner foils honey heist by marauding swarm of ‘robber bees’ | Canada

As a Canadian beekeeper raided the shop in the attempt to play honey, he explained thousands of “robber bees”.

Christine McDonald, the owner of the river Arıkists in the city of Terrace in Terrace, said he had entered the shop to invade the herd.

“I think this is the most panic… There are thousands of bees, I don’t know where they come from, and I need to protect all the honey.

It is common after hot, dry summers when there is a “nectar gap” between rival hive raids, spring flowers and autumn flowers. Larger bee colonies also need more food to collect and store.

McDonald, who had previously raided open -air hives, said, “Autumn beekeeper is very intense – to help Hunker against other bees and donkeys and try to keep the food stores where they work hard.”

Experts recommend to stop the “robbing frenzy” and cover the hives with wet blankets to prevent the invaders.

“When a hive is robbed, invading bees kill bees and even kill the queen. They tear open wax cells to enter the honey inside and remove large amounts of honey very quickly,” he said a beekeeping guide. “Worse, tearing the open cells, donkeys, yellow jackets and other invaders such as donkeys, such as the smell of honey in a very wide and broad way.

McDonald said that he had avoided the disaster by throwing a linoleum on equipment and products, but sacrificed his bathroom to trap invading bees.

Leaving the lights in the room, he removed bees away from their goals. McDonald then discovered that the bees had entered through a gap in the door frame since then and examined the shop entrance points.

He said it took four or five days to stop trying to return to the bees shop.

“I think they learned that, no, there’s no more food here,” he said. “We can’t go in.”
