Add a few 00s to your numbers and then you will be closer. most of the larger producers have thousands.

They will just switch to another herbicide. They will spray 2-4-d then switch back again. If there is a large hay field that would be the one to keep a eye on. But most of the time the...

you should worry

The bees in MS look great. The bees in N.IL and S. WI looks like a 80 percent loss. Shipping them back north on May 10th if the weather here breaks. Lots of dead outs to fill up and most losses...

It is interesting that the store in Australia lists treating mites in the U.S.A. as the big user of this product.

We do net 30 on all of our stores. Most cut us a check when we are there but we give them the choice. I have done Consighment and like the others it just does not work as well. They have no...

I do some extracting for other beekeepers. I take all the wax and 10% of the honey. They need to bring the supers to me and it needs to be at least 20 to make it worth the time.

5 gallon pails and one gallon wide mouth jug. Never had anyone complain about handling them. You need to determine what is easy on you. The customer may not know any better when handling it.

does this belong in beekeeping 101

Great to see Jeff on this forum. He is truly the expert in this area and a great resourse for our industry. Glad to hear that you are continuing your great work that you did at the USDA. I have...

Are you on pallets now with clips for moving them? It is going to cost you $2.50 a loaded mile to move them with a semi. once you have your truck and gooseneck then you can do other hauling with...

Thank you for sharing your mix. It is nice to have people on this forum to share a working recipe. A rising tide raises all ships.

Last year we had a mild winter with lots of hives overwintering. In Wis and IL we are hearing of very high dieback this fall. Most of it looks like old queens. A lot of beekeepers did not requeen...

I use all three protiens in my mix brewers yeast, soy and corn gluten. I feel there is not enough lysin in just yeast and soy. I know my oils are more expensive and have used both corn and canola...

There is some fat content in both the soy and the yeast does that add to the equation. I have always used coconut and olive oil in my patties. I also add some corn gluten to my mix to add to the...

He does need to find a way to get a large amount of that product to the midwest.
I am sure it would sell great here.
