32 Bee Vernacular species, races, hybrids 8 species (apis melifera)of honey bees Within the species are races Example: Apis mellifera ligustica Italians So much mixing tough to keep a pure bred Today, more interested in genetic diversity which leads to survivor stock mutts Other race examples: Apis mellifera caucasca - caucasian Apis mellifera carnica - carniolan Apis mellifera scutellata Africanized Crossing these races leads to hybrids... Examples: Cordovans, Buckfast, Russian, Starline, Minnesota Hygenic
33 Hive health you know it when you see it
34 Need lots of foragers to make lots of honey
35 Bees in right place limit! 1 colony ~ 200 pounds of honey 100 for them and 100 for you. 1 pound of honey takes the nectar from 2,000,000 flowers. So, 200 lbs of honey takes 400,000,000 flowers. An apiary of 10 colonies: 4,000,000,000 flowers. Treasure map(s)!
