Greetings fellow bee lover
Controversial yet interesting news last week, CIBER Centre for Integrative Bee Research introduced a hybrid bee in the US, using nano technology to give them a biological advantage. They are creating a super bee, I'll leave it up to you to decide if you believe this is ethical or not. Remember folks, US AND UK Beekeepers can lose 55% of their managed hives each year.
On the other hand, wild living colonies live without intervention.
The aim of these super bee’s is to breed a bee with lower defensiveness and some varroa tolerance. These are the bee’s that people in the modern world now need. However my belief is that the best bees hale from Africa. Simply because they carry a pure genome.
There is an error unlocking the Genome, and that error is 2-3%, its exactly that missing 2-3% unknown quality that will cause future problems. Especially when extrapolated into a cyber world and AI. Which people believe is their future. Survivor bee’s genetics have been manipulated, just like everything in the modern world. The African bee’s are the best in the world, simply because they are purely breed and need no human intervention. They are still pure.
On a different note I dearly hope I can continue to train and inspire tomorrow’s Beekeepers, they are needed. I’m dearly hoping I can start training a nine year old in 2027. Fingers crossed and look out for him on our Bee News section next year.
I have Dr Christina Waters to thank for my input in today’s blog.
Should any of you bee interested enough to know more about Beekeeping, please get in touch.
Next Year you can sponsor a hive, get in touch to participate in this exciting new project.
