Een belangrijke stap voor elke toekomstige imker is het kiezen van de beste plek in het complex om de bijenkorf te lokaliseren. De tevredenheid van deBijen, worden hun welzijn en de hoeveelheid werk die ze kunnen doen allemaal beïnvloed door de positie van de bijenkorf. Ingesloten in het Zorue-ontwerp, is een echt respect voor de aard van deze zoemende vrienden.
Een plek waar bijen kunnen rusten
Think about how easy it would be to get to the beehive area. While it is desirable that you can look at your bees every now and then, it is necessary to have an area for the bees that is secluded and they can live in normal conditions without any external disturbance. Find a secluded part of the house where there are no distractions as well as an unobstructed direct flight path that the bees will need in order to depart and come back from their surroundings.
Zon en beschutting
Bees are very good creatures who harness the energy from the sun. Such a positioning is the one that receives the morning sunlight but provides the blowing shade in the afternoon. The bees may begin their activities early in the day since the sunlight in the morning helps to heat the hive. The shade in the afternoon helps in preventing too much heat which may be harmful to bees and their honey.
Waterbron in de buurt
Clean water is a key factor for successful beekeeping, especially with the honeybees. No matter what type of water source they prefer – a pond, cut or even a dripping faucet, make sure it’s not too far away from the bees. As an example, bees may need water to cool down, to feed their larvae, and to keep the hive clean. Even one or two hives that are placed just a couple of meters away from this water source will save your bees a lot of time when looking for water.
Overvloedig stuifmeel en nectar
A flowering and pollening land will definitely have your bees and sustain them as well. Pick an area that is surrounded by flowering or blooming plants and flowers during all seasons of the year that guarantee availability of pollen and nectar all the time. This will not only be beneficial to your bees but will also enhance the biodiversity of the landscape around your garden or region.
Bescherming tegen roofdieren en ongedierte
Despite the Zorue beehives being constructed with strong and pest resistant materials, some external threats may still exisit. Select a position that is shielded from strong winds as this may prevent the bees from flying back into the hive and may even endanger the hive.
Door een optimale hoek te kiezen die kalm is, water en voedsel binnen handbereik zijn en overvloedig zonlicht beschikbaar is, positioneert u de kolonies die moeten worden gebouwd en aan uw landschap worden toegevoegd, terwijl de rest van de systemen ten goede komt. Hier bij Zorue zijn we verheugd om imkers te helpen duurzamer te worden door onze smeltende bijen naar voren te brengen.
