Thank you... I thunk so!

Anyone seen this going around? I don't see any citations and am skeptical.

Get pressure treated. Arsenic hasn't been used in it for decades.

AmericasBeekeeper called it: you CAN do the removal but you're stepping on licensed pest guys who have a massive regulatory system behind them. Nothing against them, just know that them's the rules....

It's a common perception; when doing removals people often say they've heard it's illegal, they're protected, etc. I have never been able to find any legislation to that effect; the only...

It's a business with large facility (ranges, trap, tac pistol etc). Two hours for $175 is what they quoted me. I'm kind of a 20% minimum guy for food/bev servers usually but all these confusing...

I'm getting a couple-hour shotgun training to try to branch out my hunting (and maybe carry out some game that weighs less than I do :D). I'm going to an area "shooting school" for a 1:1 session.

If you'd had to live in a phone booth for three days you'd wait too :D.

I wouldn't worry about splitting wood. Even a chainsaw or power splitter if you can be 20+ feet away (and of course out of their flightpath, not in front of the entrance) you will be fine. If I had...

Call her Susan :). It's REALLY hard and (except to a few hard-cores) not very reliable to characterize a queen for sure just by looking. Sure you could opine that this one's dark abdomen seems Carni,...

Best use of a top bar hive I've seen yet!

:lookout:

No problem at all. More important is whether you can easily work the colonies there, whether it's s suitable site, and whether there will be "problems" there. Will kids bounce rocks off them? Do you...

I always wore double-fronted Carhartt pants (for the lean-on-ladder stings and general durability) and a Golden Breeze jacket. Heat management is a big deal with our brutal sun here; I would worry...

Why spend the $$ on specialty jars when you could spend it on feeders?

Honey is fine for bees; I wouldn't extract it for human consumption. Those little bugger pee everywhere, and... well you do the math :no:.

Love the idea. I would worry about our Colorado winds putting it hard to the test.

Well, it could be done but I'd wait. The bees'll be grumpier and a cutout puts bees in the air. If they get blown away you'll have lost bees (house bees that get airborne) and bees returning for a...

Here's my preferred stand. Three PT 2X8X8s make two super strong stands (though width isn't critical. It just impacts height off ground). Cheap and easy. Each holds two hives and a nuc easy, three...

That's got vacuum written all over it :). Chain link and evergreens are the worst!

Welcome and of course they will be! Glad you're back in the saddle.

I've seen that others have experienced this also which is why I was hoping to be able to use the compressed-air fittings; they are male-threaded and eliminate the need for the nipple (keeping the...

Yeah, I'm looking at this one but wanted to make it this weekend. Plan ahead right ? :D

This air ball valve for example; is air NPT?

BSP air ball valve

Dangit, I figured. Can it be that HD doesn't carry threading taps? I guess I can look around for plumbing supply places, but sheesh this should be easier :pinch:.

Wait, I wonder if the bind...

Just convection heat exchange (fancy book-larnin' for "letting it sit" :)), no recirc pump or anything like that. I suppose I could just get it and see what it does temperature-wise to a few gallons...
