Beekeeping is a territory without guarantees.
I suggest thinking about such a concept, which sometimes seems to us something important and very stable, like some guarantees, and since my last posts are about bees, it is interesting how this is applicable to beekeeping in general.
In general, guarantees are something that has become very funny, sometimes stupid and vague, it has always been slippery, and we understand this only when we slip and hit some part of the body on the asphalt.
In any area of life, we want to see at least something similar to stability, and this is exactly what guarantees can be.
For example, it is easier for us to live a day if, when a car breaks down, we turned to an experienced mechanic and bought the spare parts we need from an official car dealer, and not from obscure sources.
Many people talk about warranties, for example, if we don’t go beyond agriculture, then in gardening stores we are guaranteed that we are sold exactly the stated seeds, or plant seedlings, or those people who are engaged in poultry farming want to have guarantees that the hatching egg that they buy for hatching chickens corresponds to the breed and type of bird they need.
In beekeeping, with such a matter as warranties, everything is much more complicated, even when buying a purebred queen bee, you cannot be one hundred percent sure that bees of the stated breed will appear in the eggs that she will lay.
In beekeeping, in fact, there are no guarantees in anything.
The presence of a beehive and a bee colony in it does not guarantee that you will get the desired honey harvest and exactly the honey that you are counting on.
Yes, you can strive for this, which is what all beekeepers do, but there are no guarantees.
Yes, you can strive for this, which is what all beekeepers do, but there are no guarantees.
Even if you set up an apiary near a blooming lavender field, or near a garden with blooming chestnut trees, this honey will contain some nectar from other plants, but this honey will be called lavender honey, or chestnut honey, and some guarantees will even be given for this.
In fact, the most honest honey is the honey that is called honey from mixed herbs, or May honey without mentioning specific types of flowering plants, this is very honest and guaranteed lol.
For example, some beekeepers use dry tinder fungus to pacify bees in smokers, and someone uses sunflower seed husks, for some one works well, and for others another.
In an effort to keep the bee colony healthy, a beekeeper can easily overdo it and spoil the honey with excess antibiotics and other substances, for example when fighting bee mites.
Guaranteeing the health of bees can deprive honey of its quality, somehow it's all not so simple.
In general, I know only one example of an ironclad guarantee in the entire history of mankind, and that is that, once having asked God for forgiveness of our sins, we become pure.
