Welcome

I have not tried it yet but I am going to make one out of an old kitchen cabinet box... should work.

those boxes look great!

Can I reuse these frames and boxes... can I just put a new package in the spring and they will clean it up?

I did probably close the hive up too much. I had a solid bottom board, entrance half reduced, one 5/8 inch hole open in one of the upper boxes, and the 3/8 inch upper slot in the inner cover. I...

I do have one other hive. Can I treat this time of year with the cold weather? Is the wax and honey stores/frames a loss or can I reuse?

Thanks bluegreass now that I know what to look for I blew up the original pic... and now I see them! Lots of mites. Would they have killed the whole hive? What about the grey mold? Can I reuse this...

Wow... I guess I don't know what mites look like. Is there enough to kill the whole hive? What are the sawdust/small grain like things?

Inspected the my hive this morning to check if it had enough stores. This hive went into the winter as my strongest
hive with lots of honey reserves. It was 4 mediums in height with significant...

Looks good you will have to let us know how the milk paint holds up.

Sounds good to me but I am a newbie too!

Because of the nearby developments the county has frowned on cattle or other large animal farming, so we thought we could...

Cattle are not an option because he does not want to install fences and expensive residential proerty and commercial is in the vicinity and therefore it would not be well recieved.

If the crop failed paying him 3k Lease out of my own pocket for the year so he can stay compliant for "Green Belt" would not be a problem for me (especially since he has funded the operation and...

That is part of what I am doing right now... 20-40 hives per 1k is double what I thought! 27k to start would not be out of the question though. The taxes paid on just one of the parcels is more than...

First off let me start by saying that I am a first year beek and love it!... but inexperienced. I grew up on a potato farm in Idaho so I enjoy hard work.

So with this is mind I have the following...

Amazzzing deal... you did great!

You could use one of these for moving more than just bee boxes... lots of other uses... railroad ties, small pallets, rocks around the yard, and etc... might need retrofitted a little or have...

beautiful... I love the design. I can see this being produced

Monsanto's own admission: Monsanto initially claimed that Schmeiser planted Roundup Ready Canola in his fields intentionally, though they could offer no evidence for this. The company later admitted...

As a farmer what choice does he have... he must produce a crop to survive. If he does not cut his crop and store seed he is finished and will not have an income for the year or be able to his loans....

keep reading... he did not plant the seed.... Monsanto should not be able to sue any farmer when their gene cross pollinates or is carried by the wind, animal, or other. They should be responsible...

Here is some reading for everyone and then research just a little more so you can decide. Research the individual lawsuits (most get settled out of court and therefore never make it to the light of...

No...

My argument is mainly against the suing of farmers for genes in their crops they have no control over.

In the old days if my cattle got out of my fence and destroyed your corn crop I was...

One only needs research who the leading corporation suing farmers is... over 3,000 (estimated) lawsuits active, pending or settled for intellectual property theft by Monsanto against farmers (or...
