thanks for all the kind works I am in the chat room most eves to answer questions and help if I can. I try to pass on good info no=BS I have nothing to prove to anyone here just a old beekeeper try...

well I an not going to say a lot about 4.9 cell size or fogging for one reason. two many arm chair experts that have maybe 1-3 hives come across as a expert and just confuse new beekeepers her to...

for me I can't see thru a veil and when its 95 plus wearing a bee suit is a heart attack ready to happen. there is no place on my body I haven't been stung. and even in the eye ball 2 yrs ago a first...

In hate to hear any one getting AFB but until they stop selling antibiotics to beekeepers to treat hives it will never go away. antibiotic treatments is only a cover up method the only cure is to...

I have placed hives in the groves and it should be hint of orange to a strong flavor. it sounds like its had other factors. maybe it was a blend of other hives or was feed EO's. some honey is more...

doing walk away splits is a no brainer. if you have say a 10 frame hive just reduce to a single and feed till they make queen cells. now only thing is weather need to be warm 75 plus and you have...

feeding sugar along with a honey flow they might store it. but feeding sugar on new packages is used for building new comb. on hives getting low on store they will store but if there storing it you...

maybe it just a gimmick. if there is no queen in a hive and the is 3 day old larva bees will make queen cells. but maybe I missed some thing here

I think you are referring to a frame cut 2 right in the middle and bars are 19 inches long so divide in half you will need to use end bars on it.
