Thanx for the reply Apis, I`m going to try that today, I have some single frames that are the same length as the folding ones. I`ll put starter strips in them and load them today with nurse bees, my...

If you want to use the virgin, you need to start a small mini nuc with mostly young nurse bees, food and water, keep them in a dark cool place for 3 nights then let them fly. During those cool...

I`ve heard that some people don`t bother turning it. But it does populate the upper box more, crowds them in. I made a bottom board with entrance front and back , use a solid reducer, keep it in the...

Got my cloake board on yesterday/////////// Did you rotate the hive 180 degrees ?

I put them in boiling water and wipe em out with a paper towel, then graft into it, works good. I got 13 of 14 take on the 10th of may N3SKI

One of my overwintered nucs swarmed on the 6th of April, they left 7 cells. I have to get it in my head that these explode in the spring. Maples started poping 2 weeks ago. I started taking brood...

Last year I put a frame of brood above a cloakboard to pull nurse bees up,put in the graft next day. they started them but tore them down, sure enough I had moved the Queen up. I found her and moved...

Open the door slowly, it breaks away, if not a long knife or a venetian blind blade. Good aforethought though, my friend unlocked his and just opened it ,out came the frame with the Queen and brood...
