I did a search and most of the topics that talk about repairing an old torn bellows are old, so I thought I would post how I have repaired mine.

First I went to a repair shop that specailizes in...

From four production hives 9 medium and one Ross Round.:cool: I could pull more but will wait untill the fall flow gets started.

Yes it is normal for many bees to suround the cage, but what they do when they are there is what I am questioning for identification. It's hard to tell if they are biting at the cage or sticking...

Thanks all forn the responses. I'll try the move em with a stick "trick" tonight when I get home from work.;) Last week when I opened the hive the roar from them was very noticable when compared to...

>Put some tape on the candy end for 24 hours and "hope" for the best after removing the tape. If the hive has been without a queen for,..."many days" they should accept her.

Well it's too dark to...

Yes there are attendents in the cage. I believe that the hive has been with out a queen for many days. No eggs no brood and no capped brood. The queens came with out a protective plug just the candy...

I would think, you should be able to get $200.00 to $225 per fully established hive with 2 supers per hive. Your particular market you may get less or more. The swarms just getting started I woud...

This is my second attempt ever to replace a queen. I'm 98% sure there is not a queen in the hive as there are no eggs no brood and no capped brood. I've been through the hive twice looking for signs...

I've been waiting for 100 deep frames from Betterbee sence mid March. At the time of the order I was told it would be 2 weeks. I have always gotten great service from Betterbee in the past. At this...

Went into winter with 5 and as of March 13 all were still doing well. Gave them some pollen substitute and will start feeding soon. I want to expand my numers 2X this summer.

The Bees have had enough and said to HECK with the queen. They have beeen see heading south to warmerr climates. The cause of CCD is also known as CABIN FEVER:eek:. I have it and I,m ready to join...

Moved the swarm last night took a few stings but all in all is was an enlightning experience. Had just enough day light to get some pics and video. The disk became full just after I had stappled the...

I'll get picks and maybe some video also. Could be very interesting;)

dcross, yes there are frames in the trap. Actually the trap is a Lang deep with 10 frames of older drawn foundation, a bottom board, inner cover and outer cover. I have screen at the ready to keep...

Hi all, I caught a swarm in a trap I set out about 300 yards from my home apiary. I'm not sure how long they have been there because I had given up on catching a swarm around the first of July and...

I purcased an older A.I. Root extractor and took it apart cleaned it up and did camcoat the inside. For a small number of hive this works fine. I payed $40.00 for it and would not have given any...

Or as we would say in VT IDEAR!;) My thought was thin piano wire cold. If that did not work then try hot, using a train controler. I plan to start working on it as soon as all my spring house...

Thanks all for the replies. This will be a sort of 1st honey moon (after 3 years). Ya I know a working honey moon for the wife. Ruben I think it would be closer to visit you if I just drove from...
