is necessary to spare ?.... queens from the perspective of a beekeeper who does not sell queens.

no doubt that it is necessary, however it seems interesting to consider in this way and that most, if not all, of those who address these issues have a vested interest in the trade of queens.

beekeeping books in many regards the Queen as "motor spirit", and considering that the "race" that runs the hive is getting shorter but at the same time each year is more demanding, I mean the hive that is increasingly flower supply in a more concentrated in short periods. I ask, can afford the beekeeper to give the advantage of running such a demanding career with an engine that is not in a position to develop their full potential? The answer is obviously no ... ... ...

Returning to the subject raised in the article How do I know of my hives in which it is mentioned that the beekeeper must use increasingly less his head and other body parts, let put into practice the art thinking about this .... Poor queen hive with how much money it costs me my beekeeper?.

In general, a poor queen hive requires more inputs and labor work a hive with queen good and produces less honey. No need for a precise calculation of the actual percentages, I can perform without error the following comparisons significant. Food



1 Queen Bee with good
1.25 Queen Bee with poor medication



1 Queen Bee with good
1.5
poor Queen Bee with Vitamins and supplements


1 good queen hive with queen-Hive 1.5


poor workmanship and mobility

1 Queen Bee with good
2 Queen Bee with poor
Production


1 Queen Bee with good
0.5 Queen Bee with poor

unit values \u200b\u200bare compared to those assigned to the hive with a good queen, that would be the values \u200b\u200b"normal expenditure x year." 1 power unit, 1 unit of medication, supplementation 1 unit, 1 unit of labor, 1 unit of production.

Now we analyze each individually for the poor queen hive.

Food: Poor The hive is always reduced bee population, therefore has less capacity to obtain food, especially in those moments in which the input honey is scarce, so you always have extra turn require more food, I think this difference in spending money on a good hive by 25% a year, hence the factor 1.25. Medication

: Related to the previous point and the least ability to get food, the hives with a queen poor are more likely, though not exactly how most, of certain diseases such as European foulbrood, American foulbrood and Nosemosis (increased number of spores above the optimal level).

I will leave aside in this analysis AFB for two reasons. First of its presence makes the hive completely unproductive and analysis is intended to make no sense. And second that many hives with queens can get sick especially good in autumn and spring due to looting in other neighborhoods affected.

As European foulbrood is known that the control can be obtained without using drugs, but with a notable increase in the contributions made by the beekeeper from artificial feeding to the hive. As for the cure of nosema full treatment cost is approximately the cost of 2 treatments for varroa.

of varroa is not spoken at this point because all the hives are cured in a similar way and I have enough knowledge to argue that the efficacy of this connected the quality of the queen. Even if this last if it is true, he does not consider this suggests that the expenditure would be required for this hive poor would be higher.

For all these reasons I consider that there is a difference in drug spending in relation to a hive good 50% a year, hence the factor 1.5.

Vitamins and Supplements: At this point we must distinguish two cases depending on the attitude of the producer. There

producers at the beginning of spring and seeing that there are hives that do not advance, they choose to remove your full attention, in which case this point does not make sense to consider.

But there are also producers that seeing their hives and panic and despair and begin to apply all kinds of products with the goal of hives respond, which happens very slowly or does not happen further raising the beekeeper despair (going to say worse yet, but I will save, as there are hard-hit areas for several years) choose to make desperate moves to other areas, I am convinced that the vast majority of farmers would have this type of reactions.

For these reasons I consider that there is a difference in spending on supplementation in relation to a hive good 50% a year (assuming here that the producer used a supplementation to total hives at critical times), hence the factor 1.5.

Labor and mobility: differentiation is also applied as above. The reason we do on the beekeeper to react. When the beekeeper detects problems in the development of hives and decides to act in general starts to add sugar syrup, without looking at the pollen. But after noticing the little or no reaction hives choose to provide vitamin supplements. We all know that in general the incentive techniques require weekly visits to apiaries with a major increase in spending on labor and mobility. For all these reasons I consider that there is a difference in spending on labor and mobility in relation to a good hive by 100% a year, hence the factor 2

Production: The worst of the problem of poor queens is that with all these jobs and extras that were mentioned up here in general is hives difficult to recover to achieve optimum point, and generally always have fewer bees.

At this point acquires fundamental importance: the fact that the production capacity of honey from a hive is related to the square of the number of bees you have. (This relationship is studied empirically since before I was born and has been published many times). This means that if a hive has a 25% more than other bees, the hive has a capacity to produce 1.25 times the square of the number of honey bee has the least, that is 1.56 times, if nothing else and nothing less than a 56% higher.

For this reason I believe that there is a negative difference (decrease) in production in relation to a hive good 50% a year, hence the factor of 0.5.

clean then going on these numbers, a good hive has a direct production cost of 4 units and an output of 1 unit, while a defective hive has a direct production cost of 6.25 units (50% more than the hive good) and a production of 0.5 units (50% less than a hive good).

I dare not speak directly of costs because there are indirect costs and direct costs that have the property that are fixed such as drums, and also when we talk about is referring costs per unit of output and therefore all this talk of costs would not be here right now that the relationship is not as easy to obtain.

clutchless something that if I can say is that beekeeping direct costs are much higher for indirect costs, mainly because there are no high components of depreciation of assets (usually the beekeepers we deal with small capital).

So in conclusion is fully valid say that a hive has a queen-defective direct production spending 50% more to get a 50% lower production as variable direct costs of production would increase by almost 100% and considering the comments in the preceding paragraph This increase in variable direct costs would translate into a high% (well above 50%, depending on the producer) to the total cost of production.

Ultimately, the hives with queens take defective gain we hives produce good. Arrive at harvest time with a low percentage of defective Queens is a task that any beekeeper regardless of scale can and should do. Any replacement method involving a queen raised in controlled conditions is much more effective and recommended that the natural replacement for the potential of the queen is much higher. The core training practice undermines blind beekeeper's income and therefore should become an anecdote.

This way of approaching the business is the only one that will keep the company in current and beekeeping as mentioned in Article soon as I of my hives , increasingly requires more thinking and beekeepers to be able to anticipate events.

How do I know about my hives?

That little question .....

in general, Beekeepers know very little and sometimes none of their hives, is the most common form is known about the number of beehives, production last year and perhaps the number of hives have been lost in the winter ....

but falls along with this, what else should I know?

no company actually works if you do not have knowledge of a range of issues related to their processes, their customers, their suppliers, their accounts .... but brought this to the beekeeping business that is really what you need to know the beekeeper.

1 - Exact amount of beehives: It is the starting point, detailed dimensions of exploitation.

2 - Activities throughout the year apiary: It may seem obvious that the activities you do know them, but when we are about to start harvesting, the beekeeper would remember what he did (as and when) in the winter?. ... difficult, if not have a record of tasks performed and news of the apiary.

3 - Curves of flower: How? who is this .... is neither more nor less than to know in advance each time of year to offer flowers have bees in date input produce peaks of nectar and when cuts occur date of entry ...

and for me the point?, If the bees know where the entry starts and when the season ends ... Is that times have changed and the beekeeper can not follow back to the hives as did before, now is prepared to wait, you have to use more head and less the rest of the body ....... you have to anticipate the echos and for that you need to know when will be the flower, so that in that time the bees are in a position to take advantage of the natural supply to the fullest. or more importantly that date there will be no supply of flowers and bees may be in trouble that only the beekeeper can solve

4-curve and varroa bee population, and follows the curves this .... and if varroa is not news that the disease is more important, and that is not news that it can not be completed in final form, so the beekeeper has no choice to learn to handle .... uh but that it was taken ??... It is quite easier than it sounds, the starting point is to know during the critical time of year,% of the total varroa bee hive. Critical moments are at the end of the harvest to the end of winter, and nectar cuts .... ahhh but now these are just the dates that we do the treatments ... and if ... there entered another issue that are treatments but without going to the pipes, but also commented that we need to know the% of varroa treatment is completed to see if it was effective.

5-Cost of production of honey: uhh but now if this kid went crazy .... Another thing that is far more simple than it seems. If you do not know how much you spend for a kilo of honey .. as you know what a good price for sale ... oh but the price always gives me gatherer ... and but if you know your cost is $ X x kilo run with an advantage when you know you can sell the production and also know how much money you will win! .. Ah

said make money, there is the talk gets more beautiful ... and if the bee can be very nice but if we do not win silver, becomes a hobby a little expensive (I know from experience), good and as we get the cost of honey?.

simple scoring all expenses are taken throughout the year and then that amount diviendo kilos of honey produced ... but all, all costs eh ... Vehicle, personnel, insurance, food, fuel, supplies, food and snacks that are brought to the field, drums, medication, queens, and even fines that make us on the road ... and then some others a bit more complicated such as, depreciation of assets such as timber and vehicles, hand work of the beekeeper, bank interest rate.

In short, all this information to the beekeeper needs at least know it is quite easy to obtain and does not add more than 10 to 15 minutes each working day and then a year later, to close the numbers.

why I believe that this methodology is accessible to all, but must be consistent and get results for themselves and those minutes spent on a daily basis which will certainly produce a higher gain Throughout the year .....
