You come this way you be sure to drop me a line. Not all is green here in Calif, some still haven't heard about NUTRA BEE. :)
Re: Shortage of bees in almonds?
Nice looking bees Keith, can't say as much about the beekeeper though:). Hey what's that machine waaaay off in the distance? Ole Benstung is a good guy I hope he knows you're just fooling with him.
Re: Shortage of bees in almonds?

Nick, the feedesr are in the brood nest in the bottom box now, we flop'em in the fall, the bees take the syrup better than having the feeder at the top below the lid. We will flop them back up top at the end of almonds when it's warmer. I know, some will say it's slow, but we feel are way produces the bees populations that were looking for.
I know Jimmy, I wouldn't win any awards for looks... I'm figgin toast right now.:)
Re: Shortage of bees in almonds?
Is your favorite color blue ? If so do you think bees do better in blue boxes ?
