  BICKERSTAFFE CAGE *

  It is acceptable to use the travelling cage that the Queen arrives in for introduction, however some people with out apiaries or strong stocks may prefer this special cage which is the best known method to do the job.

  The principle is a short passageway, fitted with a piece of queen excluder and a very small amount of candy (1 CM candy)which is eaten out by the bees after 2 -3 hours, the excluder preventing the queen escaping.The bees feed and care for the queen and after 6 or less hours the longer tunnel(1.5 CM candy) is cleared out and she can join the general community in a calmer state before they have the instinctive urge to replace her.

  If not clipped the queen must be transferred to the cage inside a car or other enclosed space.Use a finger nail to prise open the small round hinge at the side of the travelling cage,the whole cage can then be snapped apart.Place the Queen on her own inside the open part of the new cage which can be covered with a card and placed in position on a comb of emerging brood (or bring the brood frame into the car if not clipped) slid away and then pressed in with a screwing movement, care taken not to cut through the mid-rib or damaging the queen.The cage is heavy and you must keep hold of it, pressed in ,until placed in the hive and the adjoining comb can be pressed into the staples to support it.Space the comb well away from its neighbour,lower in the frame with the cage keeping your hand on it until it is gently slid up against the adjoining comb and thus supported,(do not allow the cage to knock against a frame when lowering it in )the staples contact the adjacent comb preventing the cage falling off and allowing clustering space.The old queen can be removed at the same time as the new is given in one operation if taking away young bees as a nuc (making it ideal for out apiaries).However it would be better to leave the bees queenless for 6-12 hours to loose the older flying bees before putting the new one in. Ensure the tunnel holes point upwards when fixing onto the side of a comb of sealed brood- you do not want the queen to fall onto the floor on release.

  The queen does not want to be confined in the cage for too long in case the bees build queen cells- hence the very small amounts of candy,allowing her to join the general community just at a time when they have missed their old queen, and before they have felt the instinctive urge to replace her by rearing another.

  If you have an out apiary the best results are obtained by mixing bees , take a frame of bees and brood from three different hives together with a food frame leave queenless for at least 6 hours and take to another apiary, when in place introduce the new queen with the cage on a frame of sealed brood.

  Queen acceptance can reach 96% in the case of nuclei when all instructions are followed.Return towards dusk a week later to check she has been released and alive, using lightly sugared water rather than smoke.Remove the cage and any brace comb.

  R.O.B Manleys book"HONEY FARMING"
  pages 200-207 describe this cage and the great success it brings to the most difficult and uncertain of all beekeeping operations.
  

  
  

  *INTRODUCTION LEAFLET*

  The introduction of queens to alien colonies is the most difficult and uncertain of all beekeeping operations.

  
  No method is 100% and as a result a leaflet is included with the cage which covers the key points.

  The BICKERSTAFFE cage is based on the Alley-Chantry principle ,two passage-ways are built into the cage and one is covered with a piece of queen excluder. As less candy is placed in the tunnel with the excluder the bees reach her sooner, as she cannot escape the queen becomes calmer in the presence of the hive bees and when the longer tunnel is eaten out she can be set free in a calmer state, which can lead to improved acceptance of a valuable queen.

  It is important to put only a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of soft candy into the tunnels. About 1cm in the tunnel with excluder and slightly more in the unguarded tunnel. You do not want the queen laying under the comb rather she should join the colony before the supersedure instinct sets in.

  Keep a hand supporting the cage until it is wedged in between the frames.

  With strong colonies it is important that the beekeeper knows exactly how to introduce a queen.

  It is best to try and introduce the new queen to a smaller nuc composed of young nurse bees, two frames of sealed and emerging brood ,one frame of honey, one of pollen and an empty frame, try to avoid including eggs or larvae.

  If you do not have an introduction cage the Queen cage that she arrives in can be used. Remove all attendants and the candy cap and place between the top frames. It is also possible to cut off the plastic end opposite the candy end to act as a queen excluder allowing bees to mix with the queen until she is released when the candy is eaten away.In two days if the bees are not exciteable,let them have access to the candy....keep eyes open for queen cells when returning in a week and knock out if found.

  Using Carbon dioxide to knock out young bees is a successful method of introduction of Queens into mini nucs.

  Bees from an established strong colony can be shaken off frames of open & sealed brood and then placed over a Queen excluder to allow younger bees to come up and care for it.The next day this resource can form the basis of a nuc.

  Wait about a week after introduction, return in the evening towards dusk(daylight can cause a new Queen to fly away)and use a lightly sugared hand sprayer to cover the bees while looking for her. If a knot of bees is seen the queen may be balled-spray and firmly pat with fingers to release her.Re cage and allow her to recover.

  If it is decided to unite the nuc to a stonger stock wait a week for the Queen to start laying and then use household air freshener spray on the floor and tops of frames of the hive ,place the nuc frames together in the new hive.

  Distortion of the ancient history

   »  The truth about the Macedonian issue
  The Slavic propaganda is often based on quotes from ancient historians (mainly Greek) who seem to suggest that Macedonia was a different nation. However:
  # These quotes usually consist of one or two isolated lines which is misleading. Reading the whole document the meaning is completely different.
  # The translation is not accurate or some words have been carefully altered to change the meaning.
  
  In this page we will present a number of "mis-interpreted" ancient quotes to prove how the Slavs exploit the ancient sources to dispute the Greek identity of the ancient Macedonians.
  
  Argument: "Herodotus (7.130) speaks of the Thessalians as the first Greeks to come under Persian submission (although the Persians entered Macedonia first), and here using his own words, he clearly exclude the Macedonians from the Greeks. We are therefore, left with the conclusion that Herodotus did not consider the Macedonians as Greeks."
  
  Answer: The text is wrongly translated. What Herodotus actually says in 7.130.3 is:
  
  “This he said with regard in particular to the sons of Aleues, the Thessalians who were the first Greeks to surrender themselves to the king. Xerxes supposed that when they offered him friendship they spoke for the whole of their nation….”
  
  The Thessalians were the first Greeks to surrender to the Persians NOT to come under Persian submission. This does not exclude the Macedonians from the Greeks as the Macedonians did not surrender to the Persians.
  This is what the original Greek document says:
  
  “oti protoi Hellenwn eontes Thessaloi edosan euoutous basilei” (= the first of the Greeks who gave up themselves to the king.)
  
  Argument:"Dimosthenis said that the Macedonians were not Greek"
  
  Answer:This argument refers to the following quote from the Athenian statesman Dimosthenis (Dimosthenis, Third Philippic, 31)
  
  "... not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honors, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia, whence it was never yet possible to buy a decent slave"
  
  This quote appears to accuse king Philippos of Macedonia as a non-Greek. However the majority of today's historians ascribe these claims to the political differences between Dimosthenis and King Philippos. It is well known that Dimosthenis as a passionate supporter of the Athenian democracy was very concerned about the rise of the Macedonan kingdom.
  
  "Demosthenes' allegations were lent an appearance of credibility by the fact apparent to every observer, that the lifestyle of the Macedonians was different from that of a Greek city state. This alien way of life was however, common to the western Greeks in Epeiros, Akarnania and Aitolia, as well as to the Macedonians, and their fundenmental Greek nationality was never doubted. Only as a consequencce of the political disagreement with Macedonia was the question ever raised at all."
  [Proffesor M.Errington, "A History of Macedonia", University of California Press, Los Angeles, 1990]
  
  "The speeches of Demosthenes, that deal with Philip as the enemy,should not be interpreted as an indication of the barbarian origins of Macedonians, but as an expression of conflict between two different political systems: the democratic system of the city-state (e.g.Athens) versus the monarchy (Kingdom of Macedonia). Personally, I believe that it is the common language, which gives one the opportunity to share a common civilization. Thus the language is the main factor that forms a national identity."
  [Professor Nicholas Hammond, "Macedonian Echo" magazine, February 1993]
  
  Also note that the quote does not suggest that the "Macedonians were not Greek" as the Slavs themselves wrongly assert, it only refers to king Philippos.
  
  Argument: "The Philotas trial - Alexander urges Philotas to speak in his native Macedonian language"
  
  Answer: Another argument they frequently use to prove that the Maceonian were speaking a different language is the so called 'Philotas incident' described by the Roman historian Quintus Curtius Rufus in the "The History of Alexander"
  
  Alexander the Great speaks in front of the Macedones of his army: "The Macedonians are going to judge your case," he said. "Please state whether you will use your native language before them."
  Philotas: "Besides the Macedonians, there are many present who, I think, will find what I am going to say easier to understand if I use the language you yourself have been using, your purpose, I believe, being only to enable more people to understand you."
  Then the king said: "Do you see how offensive Philotas find even his native language? He alone feels an aversion to learning it. But let him speak as he pleases - only remember he as contemptuous of our way of life as he is of our language".
  
  The Slavic propaganda claims that when Philotas started to speak in Greek Alexander asked him to use his "native Macedonian language". Even if we assume that this episode took place exactly like this, it is still very unclear. Curtius does not make any reference to any specific language. He doesn't refer to a "Macedonian language" at all. This is only an assumption made by the Slavs. There is absolutely no evidence to support this assumption - that Philotas' native language was the "Macedonian language" .
  It would be more logical to suggest that Philotas started to speak in Persian (since they were in Persia and it would enable more people to understand... ) and Alexander asked him to speak in Greek - his native language.
  
  Argument:"The ancient historians refer to the Macedonian language as a separate language from the Greek"
  
  Answer: This is typical example of ignorance about the Greek history. In fact there is no ancient document referring explicitly to a "Macedonian language". All the ancient documents they quote referring to the "Macedonian language" use the term "Makedonisti" which of course does not mean a different language. It refers to the form of the Greek language spoken in Macedonia. Similarly there are ancient documents referring to the Greek dialect of Athens as "Attikisti" or the Greek dialect of Peloponisos as "Peloponisti" etc. Should we assume that there was an Athenian language from that, or that the Athenians were not Greek?
  
  Argument:"Not only that the Macedonians did not worshiped the Greek gods, but also there is not a single temple discovered on the territory of Macedonia which resembles the temples in Greece."
  
  Answer: Here we have two lies in one sentence!
  
  1. The Macedonians did worship the Greek Gods and there are numerous quotes from the ancient historians which clearly prove that. On the other hand there is absolutely no historical evidence to support that the Macedonians worshiped different Gods than the rest of the Greeks.
  
  2. Several temples in Maceonia were dedicated to the Greek Gods. Here are a few examples:
  # The temple of Afrodite in Dion
  # The temple of Eukleia in Vergina
  # The temple of Zeus in Dodoni
  
  
  Argument:"The Macedonians did not take part in the Peloponesean war, therefore they were not Greek"
  
  Answer: The Peloponesean war was a war between two sides Athens and Sparti. A few of their allies took part as well but the vast majority of the Greek states did not participate. The fact that the Macedonians were absent from the Peloponesean war can not be used as an argument against the Greek identity of Macedonia.
  
  
  Argument:"Pausanias (1.1.3) talks about a war between Greeks and Macedonians: 'Leosthenes at the head of the Athenians and the united Greeks defeated the Macedonians in Boeotia and again outside Thermopylae forced them into Lamia' "
  
  Answer: This is one of the most audacious attempts by the Slavs to twist the Greek history. A war between two ancient Greek states was a very common phenomenon and it certainly did NOT mean that one of the states was not Greek. The war between Athens and Sparti (known as the Peloponesean war) which lasted for 27 years is well known. Should we assume that either the Athenians or the Spartans were not Greek because tey fought agaist each other?
  
  More examles of wars betwwen the Greek states:
  
  # 395-386 bc : the Corinthian War: Corinth, Boeotia, Argos and Athens backed by Persia against Sparta.
  # 369 bc : Second invasion of the Peloponnese by Thebes under Epaminondas.
  # 364 bc : Battle of Cynoscephalae. Thebes destroyed Orchomenus.
  # 362 bc : The battle of Mantinea. Thebes under Epaminondas defeated a force of Spartans, Athenians and Mantineans.
  # 356-346 bc : Phocis seized Delphi and provoked the Third Sacred War (Phocis against Thebes, Locris and Thessaly).
  
  It is obvious that a war between the ancient Greek states was a very common phenomenon so a battle between Macedon and Athens can not be used as proof that the Macedonians were not Greek.

  Were the ancient Macedonians Greek?

   »  The truth about the Macedonian issue
  There is no doubt that ancient Macedonians were Greek. It is thoroughly proved by historic documents and archaeological discoveries which can be found in history books and museums in Greece and around the world. The most important archeological discovery in Macedonia is the tomb of King Philippos II. It was excavated in Vergina, Greece in 1978 and it proves beyond any doubt the Greekness of ancient Macedonia. All the findings are characteristic of the Greek culture and all the inscriptions are written using the Greek language. Among the discoveries of this tomb is the "Vergina sun" the symbol that FYROM attempted to use on its flag initially.
  
  Facts which prove that ancient Macedonians were Greek people:
  
  • Macedonians spoke a dialect of the Greek language
  All the monuments and inscriptions found in the Macedonia are written using the Greek language. Take a look at the archaeological discoveries. There is no historic evidence to suggest that the Macedonians were using a different language.
  
  • Macedonians had Greek names
  All the ancient Macedonian names mentioned in history or found on tombs are Greek. All the kings of Ancient Macedonia had Greek names. Nobody discovered ancient Macedonian names ending to -ov or -ovski or whatever.
  
  Alexander's name is Greek. The word "Alexandros" is produced from the prefix alex(=protector) and the word andros(=man) meaning "he who protects men". The prefix "alex" can be found in many Greek words today (alexiptoto=parachute, alexisfairo=bulletproof - all these words have the meaning of protetion).
  
  Philip's name is also Greek. It is produced from the prefix Philo(=friendly to something) and the word ippos(=horse) meaning the man who is friendly to horses. The prefix "philo" and the word "ippos" are also found in many words of Greek origin today (philosophy,philology, hippodrome,hippocampus).
  A detailed list of ancient Macedonian names can be found here.
  
  • The regions of ancient Macedonia had Greek names.
  The regions which formed ancient Macedonia had Greek names. Most of these names are used in Greece even today. You can see a list of the regions of ancient Macedonia here.
  
  • Macedonian architecture was similar to the Greek architecture.
  All the buildings found in the Macedonia region have many common characteristics with the ones found in the rest of Greece. Palaces, temples, theaters markets are characteristic sampes of ancient Greek architecture.
  
  • Macedonians fought together with the rest of the Greeks.
  Macedonians always fought along with the other Greek city-states against enemies from Asia.
  
  • Macedonians took part in the Olympic games.
  It is well known then ONLY Greeks were allowed to take part in the ancient Olympic games. For a list of Macedonians who participated in the Olympic Games click here.
  
  • Macedonians celebrated the same festivals as the rest of the Greeks.
  Examples of festivals which were celebrated in Macedonia as well as in other Greek states are the "Hetaireidia", the "Apellaia" and many more.
  
  • Macedonians worshiped the same Gods as the rest of the Greeks.
  Several temples dedicated to the Greek Gods have beam discovered in Macedonia and especially in Dion the religious center of ancient Macedonians. It is obvious that the Macedonias worshiped the 12 Olympian Gods as the rest of the Greeks. The Gods were "living" on Mount Olympos which happens to be located in Macedonia. How would that be possible if there was hostility between Macedonians and Greeks? This is another proof that Macedonia was considered a part of Greece.
