“誰說現在有太多的燕屋農場，而要做一個成功的燕屋農場是很難的?”

「誰说現在有太多的燕屋農場，並且要做一個成功的燕屋農場是很难？」

這就是我昨天從讀者接到的問題。 我是無言的。

「James，我現在開始了我第2個的燕屋農場差不多有2個月的時間了。 有30多 堆的燕子屎，並且燕子屎的堆变得越來越大。 我相信在一個月的時間會看到有些燕窩。 我用完了Love Potion，前在今天寄一些給我，以便我能在這個週末使用它」。

從Mentakab的G先生有非常好的印象，在用了Love Potion在他的第1個燕屋農場之後。 他是Love Potion的一名長期用戶。 他的第1個燕屋農場用了Love Potion從2009年到現在。 燕窩的數字現在是四個數位。 在他第1個燕屋農場的同一排商店單位，有不少過8個燕屋農場。 明显地他的燕屋農場是在所有之中最好的一個。最好的是，他所有的鄰居都在他開始燕屋農場之前開始的。

它是在有許多燕屋農場的市鎮的中間。 它是战区。 在這样的地方，優勝者贏了全部，失敗者什麼都沒有得到。那些知道怎样做的人會更喜歡這样的地方，因為他們可以誘使從附近燕屋農場的幼燕子。 如果一個人可以誘使其他燕屋農場的幼燕子和收留它們，他將是王。 為了稱王您必须知道如何來做。

我在2009年參觀過G先生的燕屋農場，並且我有寫過關於他的燕屋農場。 我有忠告他用Love Potion，並且他是倒Love Potion到潤濕器的最早期的少數，並且到現在他仍然是這樣做。 实际上，在用Love Potion的第一個之后，他打電話給我並且问我為什麼有許多白色含水的糞便堆在地板上的。 因為他以前，從沒有看見過和他是很好奇的。 我告訴他那可能是幼燕子访问了您的燕屋農場。 现在已經3年連續的用Love Potion之后，G先生的燕屋農場在那個鎮里是數一數二的。

(Love Potion有能力吸引幼燕子停留和做窩，而卻還可以促進快速燕窩的成長)

「James 師傅，感謝您的忠告和教導。 昨天我參觀了朋友的经营1年的燕屋農場，那裡只是有1堆很小的燕子屎。 我暗示給他用Love Potion，但是他不聽，因爲他現在正在使用其他的激素。 因此，我就保持安靜和讓他學習難的方式」。

G先生新的燕屋農場離他的目前的燕屋農場只是幾個單位的地方。 我有问他為什麼不在其他的地方投資，因為他已經有了成功的燕屋農場在這裡。 他的回復是， 「我知道在這裡應該使用的技術，而我知道這裡的燕子想要什麽。 我可以誘使它們到我的燕屋農場，在使用您的Love Potion，還有Gs和催眠聲音的幫助下」。

他是很精明的人，一個聰明的人，他最終學會了。 這就是應該這樣做的方式，我強烈同意他的想法。

他也問了我… 「James，您在您強有力的聲音記錄了什麼？」 因為他可以從CCTV看到幼燕子黏在高音揚聲器上。 「是秘密..哈.哈.哈。我回復」。

G先生告诉我他不會告訴他的朋友或忠告他們應該如何做或使用Love Potion，直到他看到他們「哭到沒有眼淚」。

我問他為什麼？ 他回復說， 「讓他們學習艱難的方式，因爲這樣他們以後才會感激您。 我開始的時候也是什麽都不知道。沒人來教我和忠告我，所有的人都保留它的秘密，直到我遇見了您James 師傅」。

现在G先生講的是幾年前他甚至不會區分內部和外部聲音之間。 现在他知道关于燕屋農場的非常多，並且還可以給其他人一些忠告….只有當他看到他們「哭到沒有眼淚」。 他有他的理由，可能就是這樣那些人才可以學會，和永遠的記住它。 如果知識和技能來得太容易，一些人就會感激。

我是非常的高興知道Love Potion和GS聲音幫助了那麽多的燕屋農場，並且希望那些成功的人將继续幫助和忠告其他的那些人。

精采的工作G先生….

“Who says too many Bhs now and it is hard to do a successful Swiftlet farm?”

“Who says too many Bhs now and it is hard to do a successful Swiftlet farm?”

This was the question blasted at me by my reader who called yesterday. I was muted.

“James I have started my 2^nd Swiftlet farm for almost 2 months now. There are 30 + spots of Birds’ dropping and the patches are getting bigger and bigger. I would see some nests in a month time. I am running out of Love Potion please send it by today so that I could use it this weekend.”

Mr.G from Mentakab has impressive result after using Love Potion in his 1 st Bh. He is a regular user of Love potion. His 1^st Bh has been using Love Potion since 2009. The number of nest now is four digits. There are not less than 8 Bhs in the same roll of the 4 storey shop lot where his 1^st Bh is Located. Obviously his Bh is the best among all. Best of all his neighbors started theirs before his.

It is in the Middle of the towns that have many Bhs. It is a War Zone. In such places winner takes all loser left with nothing. Those who know what to do would prefer such places because they could lure young Birds from Bhs around there. If one could lure others Bh’s young birds and keep their existing birds he would be the king. In order to do this you must know what to do.

I have visited Mr.G’s Bh in 2009 and I did write about it. I’ve advice him to use Love potion and he was the first few who poured Love potion in to the humidifiers and now he is still doing it. In fact after using Love Potion for the first month he calls me and asks why there are so many white watery patches of droppings on the floors. He was curious as he had not seen this before. I told him that could be young birds that had visited your Bh. Now after 3 years of continuous using of Love potion Mr.G’s Bh is one of the top in that town.

(Love potion has the ability to attract young birds to stay and to make nests and promote fast nests growth)

“Sifu James thanks for your advice and guidance. Yesterday I’ve visited a friend’s Bh which had operated for 1 year, there is only 1 small patch of dropping. I had hinted to him to use Love Potion but he doesn’t listen as he is using other type of Hormones. So I just kept quiet and let him learn the hard way.”

Mr. G’s new Bh is just located few blocks away from his current Bh. I had asked him why didn’t he invest in other places since he already had a successful Bh here. His reply was, “I know the techniques here and I know what the birds here wants. I can lure them to my Bhs with the help of your Love potion and the Gs and Hypnotic sound.”

He is brilliant, a smart guy, he has finally learned. This is way to do it I strongly agree with him.

He also questioned me… “James what did you record in your powerful sound?” As he could see from the CCTV that young birds glued to the tweeters. “That is a secret..ha.ha..ha I replied”.

Mr.G told me that he won’t tell his friends or advice them what to do or to use Love potion until he see them “cry till no more tears”.

I asked him why? He replied, “Let them learn the hard way and after that they will appreciate it. I have started with knowing nothing .No one came and advice me all kept it a secret until I met you Sifu James.”

Now Mr.G is talking few years back he can’t even differentiate between Internal and external sound. Now he knows so much about Swiftlet farming and could advice others….only when he sees them “crying till no more tears” . He got a point here I guess by this way a person would learned and remember it for life. If knowledge and skills come too easy people just don’t appreciate it.

I am very happy to know that Love potion and the GS sound had helped many Bhs and hope those who had succeeded would continue to help and advice others.

Brilliant work Mr.G….

Good Swiftlet Farming All!

防止貓頭鷹進入燕屋農場的神話

(在這種情況下只有陷阱才行得通)

我肯定您有從朋友聼過忠告或您認為那些真正是師傅的人，通过安裝小配件在入口洞，希望貓頭鷹不會进入您的燕屋農場。 真相是由許多人使用的技術多数都是行不通的。 通常它是迷信使您感覺好，而不是防止貓頭鷹進入。

防止貓頭鷹进入燕屋農場的神話（通常都是行不通的)

( 1) 安裝荧光灯在入口洞(貓頭鷹已經習慣了和沒有用途了。)

2) 安裝閃燈(強力的閃燈影響燕子的視覺，分秒之間使燕子看不見和這是可以致命的，因而使貓頭鷹更加容易的獵取它們。

3) 在入口洞之間的鉄柱或電線(它可以殺害燕子，因為在那快速的飛行速度100k/h尤其是傍晚回歸的期間，潛入燕屋農場的時候，燕子可能會撞到鉄柱。

4) 更小的入口洞(為新的燕屋農場不是那麽好地)

5) 電線(需要維護而卻只可以行的通如果它有高電壓，低電壓與步減是無效的。)

6) 老鼠陷井(它經常殺害燕子比貓頭鷹更多)

7) 漁網(同樣也許也是殺害燕子。

8) 還有許多.....

最好的就是看看以上的照片。 它行的通..... 這裡不容易得到那些陷井。捉到了就在其他地方放它們。

The Myth of preventing Owls from entering Bh

( In this case only Bear Trap works)

I am sure you had taken advice from friends or those who you think that are real Sifu by installing gadgets on the entrance- hole hopping Owls won’t enter your Bh. The truth is most techniques that applied by most don’t work. It is more of a Myth to make you feel good rather than to prevent Owls from entering.

The Myth of preventing Owls from entering Bh (which doesn’t work)

1) Installing florescent light at entrance hole (Owl get immune and use to it.)

2) Spot lights( the strong spot light affect the visual of Swiftlets and cause seconds of blind which can be fatal and this make praying easy for Owls.

3) Bars or wires in-between Entrance hole (It kills birds because with the sheer speed of more than 100k/h diving into the hole during home coming the birds may bang on the bars.

4) Smaller entrance hole (Not good for new Bhs)

5) Electric wire (need maintenance and it only works on high voltage, low voltage with step-down is ineffective.)

6) Mouse traps (often it kills more Birds than Owls)

7) Fishing netting (the same may kill birds too.

8) Many more…..

The best see above pictures. It works….. Not easy to get those traps here. Catch and release them in other places.

好的深红色Meranti越来越难找到.

(我的鋸木廠供應商的条纹机)

(這是現在可以得到的。 就算这也是難找了。 黑褐色的木板已经是歷史了)

好高质量深紅色的Meranti木板(為燕屋农场使用的)已经是过去了。 我仍然记得那是几年前的时间，當时我还可以很容易的为我的燕屋农场找得到，在鋸木廠就可以得到那些深紅色的Meranti板條。 我还可以選木板，尤其是那些最佳深紅(棕色)的板條，特别是老的木板。 它們可以抵抗青苔和真菌，就算在一直有高湿度的燕屋农场。 它們可以持續許多年就像那些老遺產木屋在Melaka和檳城。到今天它仍然站立着，就是因为那些大廈有优良品质的木板。

那些岁月已经过去了。 我們的自然资源，木材已经耗盡了，許多樹被砍伐。 樹变得越来越小，那些淡色的木板就顯示出来。

在几年后的将来，现在3或4分級的Meranti將被认為第1级的。 這完全是归结于缺乏。 上星期我为燕屋农场订了好几噸的Meranti木板，很明顯地那些木板根本不可以与我以前買的那些比较了。 顏色变得更浅。 堅硬的木板現在很難找得到，归结于过分的開發。

我告诉那个買家「如果您不想要它，我現在可以保證您下個月进來的一批不會比现在的好」就是这样，更多的燕屋农场没有的選擇，只是使用什麼可以得到的。

他为他将要好的燕屋农场，到处搜尋Meranti。 他已经去过了他所认识的許多鋸木廠，但是他可以得到最佳的質量，莫名其妙地还是不可能匹配我所有的。

他对低质量的木板有壞經驗，經常在6個月到1年的时间内，青苔和真菌激昂生长在木板上。 想像下您花費了那么多的努力和金錢，在您夢想的燕屋农场里，一旦燕子要開始停留，然后您發現板條上開始有真菌問題。 如果您使用了好的板條，那不是更好吗？

超过80%在馬來西亞的燕屋农场使用低等級的Meranti，莫名其妙地之后一定有真菌的問題的。原因是：

1) 他們不會區別和區分在好和低地级的Meranti之間。 (技術上，所有的燕屋农场都是使用Meranti，或他們称它为Meranti，但是它有許多类型和風格的Meranti。 一些是可以为燕屋农场的用途，但是一些却不适用于燕屋农场。)

2) 承包商和顧問不會給您好等级的Meranti，因為這样將減少他們的贏利。 (他們知道您不會知道在好和壞之间的区别。 即使您知道也是從現在起一年的时间。)

3) 承包商和顧問对關於好木板的重要性知識只是有限。 對他們来说所有的木板都是相同的。 讓我问您，所有的燕屋农场是不是都同樣？ 当然不一样，如果這是一样，我們就不會有失败和成功的燕屋农场之分。 所以，切记不是所有的板條或Meranti都是相同的。

4) 無法發現和寻找好的板條。

不是所有的燕屋农场不可以使用低等级的Meranti。 低等级的Meranti必須在70%湿度以下才可以使用。 我們都知道在70%以下的湿度对燕窝是不好的，並且它不會吸引燕子停留和做窝。 有了這樣的控制，您就不会有青苔和真菌的問題了，但是同時您也可能失去所有的燕子。

使用正確的板條，因為這是燕子修造燕窝的地方。 您可以称它們为難討好，但是誰想要修造燕窝在粉狀被真菌騷擾的板條上呢？

您可以最佳設計的燕屋农场，有最完美的屋内环境或最佳的伴音系统，但是，如果板條发生故障整个燕屋农场都变成失敗。

就好像我提及了，除了Meranti，有其他类型的木板是您可以作為築窝的板條，但是它標準是：

1) 無氣味

2) 没有真菌和青苔

3) 是老木頭(比较好)

4) 不容易有裂縫

5) 抵抗昆蟲和白蟻

6) 乾燥和不会吸收潮濕

7) 很小的毛孔

8) 还有许多，許多.......

有心理準備，好的深紅meranti很快就成为歷史了。 在那来之前，現在就赶快得到最佳的板條。

(在泰國，某些成功的燕屋农场使用塑料板條)

Good Dark Red Meranti is Harder to Find.

( Grooving Machine in a Sawmill of my supplier)

( This is available now. Even this is hard to find. The Dark Brown soon be history)

The days of good high quality Dark red Meranti wood planks ( for Bhs ) are gone. I still remember few years back when I was building Bhs I could easily get those Dark Red Meranti Planks from Sawmills. I could choose them there are plenty only the best Dark Red (brown) planks are taken especially the old ones. They resist fungus and mold even with constant high humidity in Bh. They will last for many years just like those old heritage wood houses in Melaka and Penang. They still stand today because of the good quality wood in those buildings.

Those days are gone. Our natural resources, timbers are depleting, many trees have been fell. Trees are getting smaller and smaller and the light color of the wood shows that.

In few years time from now the 3 or 4 graded Meranti would be considered 1^st grade. This is due to scarcity. Last week I did order many tons of Meranti for Bhs obviously I can’t compare them with those that I had bought before. The colors are getting lighter. Hard woods are hard to find now due to over exploitation.

I told one buyer “If you don’t want it now I could assure you that the batches that come in next month wouldn’t be as good as the current one” As it goes more Bhs have no choice but to use what is available.

He has been searching high and low for good grade Meranti for his soon to be Bh. He has visited many Sawmills that he knows but somehow the best quality that he could get can’t match what I am having.

He have had bad experiences with Low quality woods often within 6 months to 1 years fungus and mold grow on them. Imagine you had spent so much effort and money in your dream Bh and birds started to stay and you discovered the planks start to have fungus problem. Wouldn’t it be good if you had used good planks?

More than 80% of Bhs in Malaysia are using Low graded Meranti which somehow later would have fungus and mold problem. Reason being:

1) They do not know how to distinguish and differentiate between good and low grade Meranti . (Technically all are using Meranti or they called it Meranti but there are many type of Meranti and genre. Some could be use for Bhs and some are not suitable for Bhs.)

2) Contractor and Consultant won’t give you Good grade Meranti because this would reduce their profit. (They knew that you won’t know the differences between the good and bad ones. Even if you do that would be a year from now.)

3) Contractor and Consultant have little knowledge about the importance of good woods Plank. To them all are the same. Let me ask you, are all Bhs the same? Definitely not If it is the same we won’t have failed Bhs and Successful Bhs. So remember that not all planks or Meranti are the same.

4) Unable to find and source good plank.

It is not that all Bhs can’t use low grade Meranti. With the Low Grade Meranti the Rh has to be below 70% at all time. We know at 70% Rh it is not good for the nests and it won’t attract birds to stay and make nests. With such control you may not have fungus & mold problems but at the same time you may lose all the birds as well.

Gets the right nesting planks, because this is the place where the birds build nests. You could call them choosy but who wants to build nests on powdery fungus infested planks?

You could have the best design Bh with good micro or best sound system but if the planks fail the whole Bh fail as well.

As I had mentioned before there are other types of woods beside Meranti could be use as Nesting Planks but the criteria are:

1) Odorless

2) Fungus and mold free

3) are of old wood (preferable)

4) Not easily crack

5) Resists to Insect and termites

6) Dry and low moist absorption

7) With small pores

8) Many more…….

So be prepared good Dark Red meranti would soon be history. Before that comes get the best planks now.

(In Thailand some successful Bhs are using Plastic planks )

Good Swiftlet farming All.

柴璽：大馬成功消除恐懼 燕窩4月可進中國

（吉隆坡4日訊）隨著大馬成功消除中國對燕窩亞銷酸鹽含量的恐懼之后，預計本地燕窩將可以在4月恢復入口中國。

　中國駐馬大使柴璽說，隨著馬中政府努力讓多項行業重回軌道，兩國貿易放緩的情況，預計在今年首季好轉。

　他指出，一支來自中國國家質量監督檢驗單位的專家團隊，已于12月28日抵達大馬，並花了5天，與大馬衛生部共同鑒定燕窩的亞硝酸鹽含量的標準。

　“他們鑒定了中國可以接受的燕窩亞硝酸鹽含量標準。”

　柴璽接受《新海峽時報》訪問時說，大馬農業及農基工業部也會盡快派出一支隊伍到中國，處理釐清亞銷酸鹽含量的課題。

　他說，隨著首相拿督斯里納吉于去年10月與中國總理溫家寶，在南寧會面時同意解決有關問題后，兩國政府已朝這方向努力。

　“我們了解到只有解決亞硝酸鹽含量超標問題后，馬來西亞燕窩業才能蓬勃發展，我們也知道涉及這個行業的大多數都是華裔。”
中國沒禁大馬燕窩

　去年7月，中國媒體揭發假血燕課題，這些燕窩還含有超量亞硝酸鹽。一些不法商人用燕子糞便將廉價燕窩熏至血紅色，當作血燕出售，但這種血燕含有超量的亞硝酸鹽，食用后對健康危害極大。

　較后，中國當局也加強對馬來西亞燕窩入口管制，針對此事，柴璽說，中國政府並沒有禁止大馬燕窩入口到中國，自去年7月后，仍有燕窩能繼續入口到當地。

　“我們只是更加注意從馬來西亞入口的燕窩，防止一些質量低劣的產業進入中國市場。”
　他說，馬來西亞燕窩的售價可以高達每盒1萬令吉，甚至比黃金更昂貴。

燕窩商聯會未接通知

報導：薛淑敏

　馬來西亞燕窩商聯合會會長拿督馬興松說，公會尚未接獲燕窩恢復入口中國消息；若消息屬實，對同業而言，將是一件大喜訊。

　“目前我們僅從報章上得知此消息，還沒有收到正式通知，雖然（燕窩）來不及在農曆新年前出口至中國，但對于業者而言，仍是一項好消息。”

　他今日接受《中國報》電訪時說，燕窩是新年送禮佳品，可是卻因為燕窩風波，令燕窩嚴重滯銷。

　馬興松指出，大馬的燕窩，有90%是出口至中國，中國政府禁止燕窩進口的措施，對業者的影響巨大。

　“此負面消息也令本地消費者對燕窩失去信心，我們需要有中國對燕窩指標來挽回本地及外國消費者信心。”

　另外，馬興松也感謝中國駐馬大使柴璽，對于燕窩課題關注及幫助。
　“衛生部說過，中國要低調處理燕窩課題，所以我們雖然重視此課題，卻不能一直去打擾他們。”

　針對中國政府曾派遣專家團隊來馬，與衛生部共同鑒定燕窩的亞硝酸鹽含量標準時，馬興松指出，公會知道此事，但中國政府要求低調處理，不可渲染此事。

何其琛：趕不及春節上架未知亞硝酸鹽標準

報導：謝玉珊

馬來西亞燕窩出口商公會歡迎中國同意讓大馬燕窩在今年4月重新入口，讓燕窩業重見曙光。
　該公會會長何其琛向《中國報》說，雖然這意味著大馬燕窩無法趕在春節前重新在中國市場上架，但商家也希望能夠趕上其他送禮佳節，例如中秋節。

　他說，衛生部長拿督斯里廖中萊去年11月訪問中國時，曾表明希望讓本地燕窩趕在春節前恢復出口到中國，但卻一直沒有下文。

　“燕窩恢復出口到中國對我們來說是好消息，無論如何，既然錯過了春節的市場，那么我們就期盼接下來的佳節。”

　同時，他也希望衛生部盡快公佈馬中兩國都同意的燕窩亞硝酸鹽標準。

　“我們到現在都還不知道中國可以接受的亞硝酸鹽含量究竟是多少。”

　他也說，目前中國方面已有馬來西亞燕窩的訂單，只要中國當局一亮綠燈，就能把貨品運到中國。

控制屋内環境的小配件 (2012新年快樂)

(在好的屋内環境，小的燕子將佔領所有的角落，就算不用高音揚聲器的角落)

祝所有的讀者新年快樂。希望在2012年裏您的燕屋農場將為您帶來好運和大量的燕窩。 對于那些想開始燕屋農場的人2012將是一個大好年。 還等什麼呢？ 越等越久就更加艱難了因爲有越來越多的燕屋農場。

在參觀了許多失敗的燕屋農場之後，我發現仍有有許多不正當地做的燕屋農場，不管是專家或新手修造的，兩者對燕屋農場的技能都很缺乏的， 無法瞭解燕子要什麼而設計好的燕屋農場。

別希望只要您有一個大樓，打開一個洞和播放一些燕聲，燕屋農場立即被燕子居住，那是錯誤的悟性，它要的是更多。

就算您得到基本的屋内環境(溫度、濕度等等)正確，如果其他的因素之一不對： 鋪板的形成、芳香、聲音等等(就講幾個)您的夢想燕屋農場可能仍然归入失敗的類別。

但是，很可悲的說，有許多的燕屋農場仍然沒有符合基本的标准，好的屋内環境要求。 如果燕屋農場沒有恰當地被設計，即使它使用控制屋内環境的小配件像潤濕器，溫度控制傳感器、薄霧、排气扇等等它仍然也不會幫助的。

最重要的是得到基本的屋内環境正確。控制屋内環境的小配件是為了調整微小的差別，如果有一些較小的差距。 太大的差別在這些小配件不會幫得了太大的忙。

控制屋内環境的小配件是不可能使燕子做燕窩或做一個成功的燕屋農場，但是它是用來彌補燕屋農場，使整個燕屋農場的環境變得更加完美。 好的屋内環境吸引燕子停留和做窩，做优良品质的燕窩等等。

如果您明白以上的，您就不會很驚奇，當某人說「我有好的溫度和濕度，但是為什麼一年之後還是沒有燕窩呢？」 因為您知道它需要的還更多。

因此一個理想的燕屋農場應該有好的屋内環境，而且好的屋内環境包含了所有的因素，從燕屋農場的設計到芳香。

再次對所有的讀者說聲新年快樂。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

Micro Control Gadgets (Happy New Year 2012)

( In a Bh of good micro environment young birds will occupy all corners even without tweeters)

Happy New Year to All readers. May the 2012 bring you fortune and plenty of Nests in your Swiftlet farms. For those who’ve wanted to start 2012 will be a great year. Why wait? The later the harder as there will be more and more Bhs coming up.

After having visited many failed Bhs, I discovered that there are still many Bhs being done wrongly, be it built by so called professional or novice both alike lack of swiftlet farming skills,

unable to understand what birds’ want and unable to design a good Bhs.

Don’t expect that once you have a building, opened a hole and play some birds sounds the Bh would instantly occupied with birds, that is a wrong perception it takes more than that.

Even you get the basic micro (Temp, Rh, etc) correct if one of the other factors fail like eg: planking formation, aroma, sound, etc (to name few) your dream Bh still could fall into the failed category.

But sad to say so many Bhs still didn’t meet the basic Standard Good micro Requirement. If a Bh is not designed correctly even if it uses Micro Control Gadgets like humidifier, temperature control sensor, mist, exhaust fan, etc it won’t help.

Most important get the basic micro right. The Micro Control Gadgets are for tuning up the Micro if there are some minor disparities. Too huge of a gap in disparity the gadgets won’t help.

Micro Control Gadgets are not for making birds to make nests or make a successful Bh but to complement the Bh’s micro thus making the environment goods. Good micros attract birds to stay and make nests, making good quality nest,etc.

If you understand the above you won’t be shocked when someone says “I’ve got the Temperature and Rh right why there is still no nest after 1 year?” because you knew it takes more than that.

So the ideal Bh should have good Micro and good Micro encompassed all aspects of Micro factors from Bh’s design to Aroma.

Once again Happy New Year to All Readers.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
