Small bees that nest in combs, where the hexagons sides are 4.9mm across, are naturally resistant to many pests, mainly the Varroa Destructor mite that the european honeybee usually hosts. Current hexagon size is 5.1 and above because they where bred in the late XIX Century to be bigger, so the cells would hold more honey.

From what I can tell I think it is a honey bee hive. I hear you about not killing the bees and I support your efforts. However, we would really like to not have this hive right next to our house. Is there anyone is Dubai who can take the hive away? Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
