the activity you are seeing is probably robbers. looks all dead to me. i'd reuse everything.

why didn't the same thing happen the year before? and the year before that? where the bees in different locations with greater exposure this year? we should be able to duplicate the scenario next...

it's nice to hear that you are arguing against that law vance. thanks

they need stored honey more than they need patties. patties are more like supplemental feed, honeys all they'd have in the wild. they are supposed to start in the bottom of the boxes and slowly eat...

i put patties between the 2 deeps, not centered (so it doesn't split the cluster) but in this weather you can't really split the boxes. as vance said if the bees are to the top of the top box they...

i got around 12 jars drawn from two hives. they look great and will be christmas presents for friends, but the energy it took to get my strongest hives to move into them, and how honey bound the...

montana canvas in belgrade makes them.i just ordered a small net for my f550 and am happy with it. they were pretty quick too.

i find black and orange beetles here who are on the ground struggling, or having a hard time flying and they are always covered in some type of mite. its disturbing.

we had snow about 50 feet up the hill from us this morning. rain and snow at the house. it was a really nice break from the smoke.

the multi colored ones are a guy named burt and his sons. they sell honey at the missoula farmers market, as does my wife. the yards around dillon might be for sale, listed in the abj. nice pics. any...

i would think frames of brood would have their own value that would go into the asking price. i guess its not considered a production cost but they certainly are valuable.

if they are strong colonies you have a few choices. quickstrips would still work with our daytime highs, theres the weird off label stuff the comm guys use that would kill all the mites not in the...

i just finished up my 3rd time treating with it. this most recent time i paid more attention to results and i feel what it does works with what i am trying to accomplish. i don't want to kill every...

if the hive is really queenless i'd shake it out in front of one or two of your other hives. i would look again for a queen or eggs before i did that. if there is a queen i'd reduce it to the...

i decided against my original question. we have had cold mornings this week, so i got in there early and despite the forest fires everywhere i used my smoker (carefully). the hives were even more...

i shoot a benelli supernova pump for ducks, geese, grouse, turkey, and hopefully pheasants this year. it was 500 bucks, is tough, fairly light and cleans easy. never dove hunted.

i put them in as recommended this time as well as this spring. in the spring they had no problems with them. right now they are supposed to be cross, and they were. they would have reacted the same...

i just put hopguard on my 50 strong doubles. i robbed them 3 days ago, we had frost 2 nights ago, it's been very dry, and they are really testy. while i was treating i started wondering if anyone is...

those look like trevors bees. he must have hives near there.

so if the hopguard is not killing the emerging mites on day 5 and 6 and part of day 7 why wouldn't those mites (which have bred in the cells) not lay more eggs before the next treatment on day 7 or...

see if you can follow this. using hopguard, which recommends treating once a week for 3 weeks, but we've since learned the strips dry out and are probably only effective for 3 days, would you kill...

lived with a hernia for 2 years that was directly related to lifting double deep colonies onto the flatbed by hand. after that i started splitting the hives before i lifted them. i had surgery in...

i had strong colonies through august last year. 60 or so. i made a good honey crop which i pulled in early september. by the end of september i had less than 30 colonies and by spring i had 8. i had...
