Don't quote us, but that sun feels spring-yHi there, as you're well aware, it's too early to be able to say for sure how the season could play out. But Manuka blossoms have already been sighted in various places including here in Canterbury. And it's only August! It might be time to fast-track your monitoring plans for the season.

I guess that means he gained 100% yield for that particular apiary! You may or may not be aware that Hivemind has this simple free calculator to calculate your own operation's yield gain and savings.

FAQ tips1. Can I pause billing over winter? Yes. From your hive graph simply click "Billing" at the top-right. Then simply click the two items circled here in the screenshot.

Did you know that our website product pages now provide links to buying the right batteries that we've tested and that we trust. |
