[Jongon]

[Bozorotty]

Where can I buy 100% pure honey in Trinidad?

Hey any beekeepers here have any experience with the flow hive or the plastic units that are available now and willing to give a review?

[Chimera]

i wanted to buy some but there are a few forums where people have tried them locally and they dont work because our bees build their hives differently

as well as the local person or people in charge of granting permits for import of the hive will block you "because they dont believe that is how honey should be harvested"

so if you bringing the hive, you hadda smuggle it in under a next name

I did one of the test on the bottle I bought and it passed the test ( one teaspoon in a glass of water, and it didn't dissolve at all after 24 plus hours )

Not sure how else to test for 100% purity.

Apparently you need a permit to import anything bee related

The " pedigree dog clubs of T&T " has a similar problem with the importation of foreign canines .

One reason for the foreign importation was to increase "gene pool."

They petitioned the Minister of Agriculture and got results .

Maybe you should attempt this process with the Bees ?

[Chimera]

Nah it wouldnt work. Them like they have something against progress. But as i said.......it can be smuggled in

[RedVEVO]

If you smuggle it in , you will be break the law .

Go to jail .

How would that look when you tell your bunk mate that you smuggle Bees ?
You will become the tinker bell tuner at Golden Grove.

Or .. Maybe some bee disease will break out and destroy all TT bees

You got to have a plan.

Why do you want to smuggle bees saddis ?There is a reason honey cannot be imported into the country and it is due to diseases that can damage local bee population. Do the right thing nah man.

Not bees smarts. The flow hive . As in the box that you can easily harvest the honey from withour disturbing the bees

This is what the flow hive is

[maj. tom]

That's an amazing invention and so much more environmentally friendly for the bees than a "regular" method! This should be the industry standard!

Where can you buy the equipment ?

[pugboy]

when hearing all these "regulations" wrt to beekeeping
I wonder if it is simply a cartel which the authorities are running and trying to keep control of
the local industry.

To not allow products to be imported to allow different rearing methods is pure nonsense.

Google flow hive website. 300 or 500 usd for a hive. But as i said. It will be seized by customs when it arrives labelled as bee keeping equipment

Bee vomit yummmm

Like many other businesses, designed to keep price high

[jl6106]

Fellas I have a problem. When I get up around 5am in the morning and I put on any light in my house, within about a minute bees start to fly around the bulb. It also happens during the night (my house isn't sealed) they usually invade in about 5 to 10 at a time. I never see then during the day. I strongly suspect there is a hive close by but I can't find it. Can anyone here help me in locating and removing the hive? Is there a cost associated with such a venture? Thanks.

Did they try to save the Queen ?

[hong kong phooey]

No they kill everything , if they remove the Queen the hive would leave

[nervewrecker]

As this thread is about bee's maybe I can get some info here.

I have a house with a jep issue. Looking for an environmentally friendly way to get rid of them. I understand they may be 7 miles jep.

Was thinking to crack the door and seal off the crack with a piece of tape and face the pressure washer out the door with a plastic bag sealing it and blast them with the pressure washer or my foam cannon. Will this get rid of the nest and chase them away or will they return? best case scenario they leave long enough for us to remove the nest.

[pugboy]

Where is the nest ?
Those look like tattoo jep, very fierce.

I've heard ppl say a bucket of soapy water messes up their wings so they can't fly,

[rspann]

Light a small fire in a galvanize bucket, the smoke will run them. While they gone, mash up dey house. Nowhere to live when they return.
