The Quadratic have was designed to be versatile, and in this video I show you some of the ways you can use it.
Featured is a prototype Quadratic Hive made from recycled bottle tops - possibly a world first - by Paul at LUSH cosmetics in Poole, Dorset (thanks, Paul).
PLEASE NOTE: The Quadratic Hive featured in this video is a prototype. I do not suggest that you build hives using recycled or other plastics, or use hot glue as the sole method of jointing on hives, except on an experimental basis. Most of my hives are made from wood and I will continue to use wood as my main material for hive building.
A team of friends helping to sort out Brigit Strawbridge's Bumblebee Farm market garden. A lot of the work was done off-camera - this was a test of an Acorn 6210MM in time-lapse mode.

Honeybees are master comb builders and nectar collectors, and it never ceases to amaze me how much they can get done when conditions are good.

I placed an electric field meter close to a swarm of bees, with surprising results!
It has been known for over 100 years that insects accumulate static electric charges while flying, but I don't know if anyone has ever measured the charge generated by bees while fanning, or in a swarm.
Please comment below with links if you know otherwise.

Ivy is the last substantial source of pollen and nectar for bees going into winter. If you need to cut it back, please wait until after it has finished flowering.

This was my first attempt to use a Morris Board that was on the short side in terms of bee population. I have another one on a very strong hive in a different apiary that has produced consistently good results, and I expect this one to do the same once it is up to strength. It's a bit on the "quick and dirty" side, but I think it builds on my first Morris Board video. I hope you find it useful.
