Thanks everyone! I never come across good deals like this. I still can't believe it. Cant wait to go and pick everything up:D

Well the title says it all. I went to look at an electric extractor last weekend. It is brand new in the box, guy never used it. Said he'd make me a good deal. We get to talking and he walks me...

I went and looked at a Little Wonder extractor today. It is brand new in the box. The guys wife bought it for him, and he never used it. He offered me the extractor, an electric knife, 3 hives...

I had one large swarm leave the next day in the afternoon back in May, and I just lost an entire colony from a bee tree we cut last week on the turnpike. The maintenance dept. had to cut it and move...

I started laughing my butt off over this one. My wife is in the kitchen just looking at me weirdly, and then I read your post. Thought she was gonna spit the water right out of her mouth.

I second what others have said about letting them alone, and add that I would go foundationless with the hives you put them in, or go with the 4.9 small cell foundation for the swarms that you catch...

I've had 3 calls the last 2 weeks for honeybees in the ground. I told them they were yellow jackets and call an exterminator. I had 4 nests that I found in my own yard, and I'm still battling 1. ...

You'll end up with sugar water in your honey super.

I dug up a yellow jacket nest this summer in my veil, long sleeve shirt, and jeans. No stings....

I have yet to find the queen in two hives but see eggs every time. The first couple of times I looked and looked and all I did was tick them off caus I spent so much time bothering them. I have...

a couple feet. I either set up a folding chair or if I'm lazy I just sit down on the railroad tie next to them. I always sit off to the side at my pet hive, cause they seem to like to come straight...

Did you inspect inside the hives at all since you installed them?? 3 frames isnt much in that amount of time. Maybe your queen died and they dwindled away, but you should have seen this happening. ...

Mind over matter, My buddy, his dad (my mentor), and I were checking out a bee tree someone told us about and they were bearded all over the tree. We wanted to see how big the whole was so his dad...

I think the East Coast took it all. It has rained here in PA like crazy. It keeps muddying up the river and really ticking me off. You wanna trade it back?;)

Hey BeeManDan, unforturnately I have had 2 this year. First one was on L3-L4, and L4-L5 in Jan., then again in April a redo on the 4-5. To be honest when you wake up the leg pain is gone. What a...

I would say they just missed the entrance and are smelling/seeing their sisters through the screen and just cant figure out why they cant get in. I have my hives sitting up on railroad ties and...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not trying it but thought I would throw it out there to see what we came up with. My mentor just uses an entrance reducer and tips the inner cover up just a bit to...

I would look into what permits you would need to keep this bobcat. I think it's awesome and would hate for wco's to come and take him/her away. It may be costly keeping a wildcat so that would be...

I asked this ? under BoWo's post but wasnt getting any feedback so I figured I'd post a new one. Being the big concern in the winter is moisture in the hive many beeks are wondering what we can do...

Way to go GPP. We should all send them an email, that would make a statement. I can see why they would do it, but still dont agree with their decision.

I hear you USC. My head is spinning trying to figure out all these angles and dances. Glad I'm not a bee cause I never was good at geometry. Great find and interesting reading. Thanks!

I like it the way it is. Too bad you cant leave it like that, the inspector probably wouldnt like it anyway. I would do what your doing, and wouldnt go into them for at least a week. I try not to...

My very first swarm this year also absonded. I picked them up about 15 miles from home. Waited til dark, screened them in and brought them home. In the morning I pulled the screen and all was...
