Not knowing if the dried sludge at the bottom of the carboy would make good bee diet or not, I just wonder if the time and effort to harvest and dry the stuff might amount to more than the cost to buy it. Granted, a good batch of homebrew leaves plenty to harvest, but in addition to the spent yeast you'll have the remnants of the hops and whatever else goes into your brew - my last batch included orange peels, cinamon, ginger (and of course, honey). Harvesting and drying the slurry is a frugal idea but I'm not sure it'll achieve the results you want. Hey Andy! Ever tried hops as bee feed? Aaron Morris - thinking relax, don't worry, have a homebrew! ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 02:26:26 -0600 Reply-To: Informed Discussion of Beekeeping Issues and Bee Biology Sender: Informed Discussion of Beekeeping Issues and Bee Biology From: "Robert J.

If we look to short term solutions for minor profit in beekeeping, we might find we're looking at a longer term problem. By killing off the bees each season, we would lose any chance of mite/varroa resistance from those hives. Bee's have survived for quite a bit longer than we've used them to make honey and they'll likely live through our current troubles - with or without our help. Unless we interrupt this balance by removing part of their population each season. If it's money you're after, there are much easier ways to make a living. Something I've read from Mark Twain seems appropriate on this point: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and man."

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hell-o Bee folks, I was just wondering about the message flow from the list. I signed back on yesterday and have only seen two messages from this list. Is the message flow way down or am I missing all the messages? If someone would reply to me and let me know the situation it would be helpful. Thank you. Gary C. lewis Duke Center,Pa.
