According to Wikipedia:
New honeybee colonies are formed when queen bees leave the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called swarming. The first or prime swarm generally goes with the old queen. As soon as the swarm is established as a new colony, the bees raise a new queen, or sometimes a replacement virgin queen is already present in the swarm. Afterswarms are usually smaller and are accompanied by one or more virgin queens. Sometimes a beehive will swarm in succession until it is almost totally depleted of workers.
This one is in my backyard.
Question by Peter P: I want to raise bees and produce honey and stuff in the Philippines, is that possible?
Coconuts are the predominant crop in the area so pollination may be a secondary function.
Where can I find information about this on the internet?
What do you think? Answer below!
I happen to have seen a video today of a girls trip over there and she went to a “bee farm”. Doesn’t the gov have an office for agriculture? In the Us there is a county extension agent who would know. There are also bee clubs
