Peafowl chicks look very similar to each other for about 20 weeks old, just before the moult starts. After this time, the males will grow different coloured feathers to the females. You can not vent sex these birds, their sex organs are to far in to their bodies to see. Source(s): Poultry farm manager.
Itâs true. Bees collect nectar and pollen to make honey to feed the hive. As they eat honey, their bodies make wax. Chewing this wax with a little more honey, the bees build combs. When the time is just right, beekeepers open these âhoney pantriesâ to collect the extra honey â and we collect combs to make pure beeswax candles.
If you are starting with a package of bees, then you should be happy if the bees only produce enough honey for themselves. This is good and par for the course. However, I always work my packages to produce honey for me my first year, and most do. My success comes from placing my packaged hives on drawn comb. In my opinion drawn comb is the beekeeper's third best friend! The hive tool is first, and a bee-vac is second. We now have one of our bee-vacs listed in our Ebay auctions. Obviously, a new package or nuc will have to build up their hive. This means they will need to produce a huge amount of new comb on the frames.
