Thanks very much for your help!

Does anyone in Virginia know of any legal statutes that specifically treat cutouts?

I have started to have people ask me to do cutouts, and they are willing to pay. I have set up an LLC and have...

Yes I also wouldn't mind taking a look at any contracts yall have already. Thanks for any PMs.

It is my understanding that in my state, although the LLC might be sued and bankrupted, the organizer of the LLC cannot be personally sued or liable for any damages. I set the LLC up strictly to do...

Does anybody know of a good website that will draw up simple, boilerplate contracts that I can have clients sign absolving me of any liability for damages or injuries? Excuse me if this seems naive:...

Nope. Moreover, if they need a queen they will raise one from the introduced brood.

Mission accomplished, for a drone, ends in the drone's immediate death.

Krad how much are you asking? Where did your queens come from? Ryan I pm'd you.

I had some trouble getting money together and was delayed ordering nucs, and now have no leads. Does anyone within 100 miles of Lynchburg have overwintered nucs for sale? Even better if they aren't...

Ed, where you told this directly? I mean, did you submit an application and receive some kind of notice?

Graham, the article you linked to is slightly out of date. Sometime in early December, in...

It probably won't be an issue for most plants. Sundews might grab a few, but I don't think bees will be very interested in pitcher plants or Venus Fly traps. In any case, unless you are planting...

Pollen here today in Central VA as well. Very pale, (maple?) and some dingy yellow. Also, some capped brood.

"The hexagonal shape of cells is common among cell-building social insects, and there is a sound architectural reason for this style. Round, octagonal, or pentagonal cell arrangements leave empty...

Thank you both. Anyone else have any ideas?

Does anybody know what time of year the bees stop raising "normal" summer bees and starts raising the bees that will overwinter? As a corollary, in late season swarms (September, October), are the...

Is it possible that some of the mite resistance seen in bees raised in 4.9 mm cells is due to the smaller bees themselves, and a smaller gap between abdominal segments?

That is wingstem. The bees will for sure work it for pollen, and I am pretty sure I see them working it for nectar too. It blooms for a long time.
