Thanks for the suggestions!
I have dear hubby making me an observation hive so i think that'll be cool!
I haven't seen the bee movie so we won't watch it unless I've seen it first.

I also would like a pic of a marked queen to show in my power point presentation if anyone has one they'd share. You can email it to me at

Thanks!

The summer reading program at our library is about bugs. . . I was asked to do a 15-30 minute presentation on Bees. The age range will be 4-10, any input on the best things to tell them? I've only...

Weather - mid 60's cloudy

Good size, 3 deep frames worth???

1st one - Praline crust w/ plain filling - As I was afraid the crust was a stick mess, good but a mess to eat. So it won't work

Would you recommend cooking a cheesecake in a hot water bath? I went to a class at the vo-tech a few months ago and the lady recommended that but her cheese cakes still didn't seem to turn out as...

That's a good idea! The recipe calls for pecans and I have some from last year in the freezer, they are paper shells I think, they are local so they ARE better than store bought!

YUMMY! That...

Thinking about entering in the county fair, they have a cheesecake division but it has to be an "original" recipe. . . So I've been playing w/ a recipe on paper, tell me if this sounds any good. I'm...

Here's a pic of one of our Queens, first one I've been able to spot and snap a pic quick before she hid. . .

Here are a couple pics of the swarm. . .http://johnbhusted.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=68882&g2_serialNumber=6...

No, we didn't leave a frame out, we took one out to get a better pic. . . they were all 10 pushed together but didn't have a guide. Jack T. is putting foundation in all the frames today so hopefully...

We put a few wired foundation frames in the hives, the bees started on the foundationless frames and they are building them all together. See attached pics
Is this a problem? Should we replace the...

OK, I'm not smart enough to get the actual pic to post so here is the links to them. . .

Can you use your farm tax permit to purchase bee related stuff in your respective state?
Just called state of OK and they said no it doesn't qualify, doesn't make a lot of since to me why since our...

Right on the word. . .I knew that but couldn't think of it!
We had decided to mount a box on top of the hive today but were a bit to late. Hopefully the will take to the box we have them in and...

Checked bees this morning and they were still in the tree. . . Got home from church a few minutes ago, and they had swarmed in a nearby tree. Praise God we saw them and dumped them into a hive box....

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if my other 2 hives are far enough ahead to steal comb from. . . This is our first year so hive Adam is only a bit over 1 month old and has about 90% of the first deep...

I agree! I think we are going to play with it tomorrow. They were pretty agitated when we got them home so I was hoping they'd settle a bit before we messed with them too much. The hole covering...
