We have no first-hand experience of Beekeeping, but apparently, as a beekeeper you can use the influences of the moon and
planets to manage your hive. When you open up the hive you can influence the hive in different ways, like the Moon gardener
would do with a hoe on the soil:
Flower/Air days (yellow) stimulate brood activity and colony development
Fruit/fire days (red) stimulate the collection of nectar
Root/Earth days (brown) are good if the bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
Leaf/water days (green)are not recommended for working with the hive.
Bees are supposed to be much more gentle on air and fire (red and yellow) days. They are also more likely to swarm around
full-moon, and they are much more agressive on hot humid days (eg Thunderstorms!)
