In the name of the Queen

Marc

To give a number to each hive seemed too sterile, so I gave a name to each hive and thought it would be a fun idea to give them the names of Queens.

When in 2012 I started with beekeeping I had only two hives. Everything going on with those two families of bees I could easily remember without writing down anything. With more families to remember, the state of each family has become more difficult. Se I named my hives and keep track of them in a register.

  • Ape regina non marcata
  • Principessa Sissi
  • Arnie
  • Api su un favo
