Ny titel i vor serie af små hvide bøger med stort indhold.Honning besidder en rigdom af variation i smag, duft og aroma og befinder sig i et univers, som kan sammenlignes med de komplekse smagsverdener, der omgiver vin, øl og chokolade. Det er en råvare, som har fortjent at rykke op i madhierakiets rækker, hvor valget ikke bare er et glas honning, men et udvalgt glas honning.’Smagen af honning’ tager et skridt ind i honningens komplekse verden og fortæller om vejen fra nektar til honning, om honningtyper og ikke mindst om smag. Halvdelen af bogen består af opskrifter, hvor honning udgør en væsentlig del af retterne, og hvor der anvendes en helt bestemt slags honning for at opnå den bedst mulige smag.Karin Gutfelt Jensen er biolog og biavler og producerer honning med fokus på mangfoldighed og smagsoplevelser.

Say "queen rearing" to most beekeepers, and they will probably run a mile! This book aims to de-mystify the mysteries of simple queen rearing. It sets out to explain a method of queen rearing on a small scale, which can be used by any beekeeper with a few years of experience and a small number of hives, perhaps only three or four (or even two).Bruce Henderson Smith lives in Cornwall and has been keeping bees simply for over 35 years. He is an Honorary Life Member of the Cornwall Beekeepers Association and a past Chairman of the CBKA Council.As a change from honey production, he started queen rearing in 2019. He is very keen on encouraging and persuading beekeepers of all standards to learn more. Hence this book to improve both local bees and the expertise of local beekeepers everywhere.

A nuc, or nucleus colony, is simply a small colony of bees that have been created by a beekeeper to use for a range of purposes. This is where the simplicity ends! To go beyond that definition, it is important to explore some of the reasons that beekeepers want to create smaller colonies - after all much of the season is spent trying to produce and maintain the largest colonies possible to maximise their nectar gathering potential and the subsequent honey crop!Beginning with the format that most beekeepers are familiar with, a nuc can be a half size colony.

"Nuestras investigaciones han proporcionado informaciones fiables sobre el valor que cada raza y ecotipo local tiene para la selección, sobre la relación genética existente entre diferentes grupos de razas, sobre aspectos morfológicos y fisiológicos que las diferencias y sobre la medida de sus variabilidades. En relación a estos importantes detalles, antes teníamos un interés superficial o del todo inexistente.Pero solamente este preciso conocimiento puede ser la base para crear cruces o por una selección por combinaciones que sean fiables".

Driven by growing consumer demand for fruits, nuts, and vegetables, U.S. growers are expanding their cultivation of these pollinator-dependent crops. To service the rising number of pollination contracts and seek out quality forage to produce honey, beekeepers move their bees around the country. Limited nationwide data exist on the number of honey bee colonies that pass through each State throughout the year, the routes these colonies take, and the distances traveled. Using data from a USDA survey of beekeepers, this report quantifies honey bee colony movements over the four seasons and provides a basis for understanding how the transport of honey bee colonies affects pollination services, honey production, and the loss of colonies. The intensity of the use of pollination services across a variety of pollinator-dependent crops in various regions and States is also summarized to explain the timing and volume of colony movements.
