Socratic Moron posted:In addition, the cost of shipping equipment here is utterly outrageous, so if I can make my hives, all the better. Cost of shipping aside, it's illegal(and a terrible idea) to import bees or equipment to any island due to varroa mites. It's also illegal to trap wild swarms within 5 miles of Hilo bay for the same reason. Also, the Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture is laying off their honeybee inspectors, leaving the entire island to fend for themselves against varroa infestation. In the next year or so, these guys should be releasing their varroa traps, which are basically flypaper for varroa mites. http://www.ars-fla.com/ disciplinary action fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Sep 30, 2009 |
