Until 2006 the public benefit of religious organisations was automatically presumed by the law. The Charities Act 2006 removed the presumption of public benefit from religious charities and now requires every charity to explicitly demonstrate that their purposes are for the public benefit. The National Secular Society has written to the Charity Commission urging it to investigate a religious charity behind the sale of an alcoholic drink widely associated with criminal activity in Scotland. The characteristics among the various races of honey bees can make a difference in the success or failure of your hive, even if they seem to be subtle 9 https://www.perfectbee.com/learn-about-bees/the-science-of-bees/common-races-of-honey-bee/. a b c d e Heald, Claire (26 September 2006).

NSS research, passed on to the Charity Commission, also reveals another possible source of private gain for staff and fellow colleagues of the charity trustees in the form of property loans and developments.These bees are escaped swarms or unmanaged colonies to be found in the wild. They are genetically diverse and acclimated to the area they are present in. You can’t buy them, they must be captured or be obtained through interbreeding with local drones. Their parentage is unknown. If on inspection there is any damage or shortage it is imperative that this is noted on the delivery note at the time of delivery as claims will not be considered if this is not completed.

Needs very moderate food supplies : production of a decent amount of honey also in years with poor nectar supply; Spring buildup and foraging: explosive spring buildup enables this race to grow rapidly in population and take advantage of blooms that occur much earlier in the spring. Furthermore, they are more likely to forage on cold, wet days than other types of bees and they forage earlier in the morning than other races. adept at handling dearth’s and rapidly adjust brood production based on the availability of food.

Since 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has recognized the domesticated bee as a component of the animal genetic resources for food and agriculture, and the process to include the bee in DAD-IS, the FAO information System on breed-related information, has started [ 40]. In this direction, the conservation and valorization of the two Italian autochthonous breeds, the Ligustica and the Sicula, deserve specific attention like for any other domestic breed. Our investigation has provided a conservation status of the two breeds being somehow different. Even if resistant to Varroa and tracheal mites, they are susceptible to be infected by Nosema fungus

History

Overwintering: rank among the best for overwintering , they manage to overwinter well on small stores, as queen stops laying in the fall. They conserve winter food stores well and winter in small clusters while shutting down brood rearing in case of food scarcity. In Italy, the Apis mellifera ligustica, adapted to the temperate climate and to the rich floristic biodiversity of the territory. Thanks to its favorable characteristics, this subspecies has spread since 1800 in many other regions of the world by human mediated action. Today, specimens of A.m. ligustica can be found in North America, in northern and central Europe [ 5, 6], in Reunion island [ 7], in Kangaroo Island in southern Australia [ 8], in China [ 9], in Mauritius island [ 10] and in Brazil [ 11].
