Glad to see this post. I had a similar question. I've been asked to do a trap out on an oak tree. It's about an hour from my house. Would I need to put the brood in there from day one? I'm...

Not much to say that hasn't already been said, but I wanted to add my concern and caring. I'm praying for you and your family. I hope and pray you will have as much peace and comfort as possible in...

:applause: :lpf:

I'm kinda afraid to even post on this thread...:lookout: But fatscher, I do want to say not only thank you for your service, but I also respect and admire the way you've answered your attackers by...

I've been really needing a bee vac, too. For some reason I have a hard time visualizing the vac connections. Normally I'm very good at putting things together or building stuff, but something about...

Normally....not much. But alas, we actually had winter this year - and a lot of it! :cry: Not the usual two or three weeks, then moving on, but snow and everything. Couldn't even wear shorts for...

Yes, but you guys are interested in the flowers for what reason? Attracting girls! Thousands of them! :lpf:

Hey Neal. I've emailed back and forth with Scot, the guy that contacted me and the friend of the guy whose camper they're in. He's trying to convince him to wait until a warmer day comes (as in...

Yeah, probably. But what does that do to him for wanting them all dead? :eek:

I couldn't say, being I came here for help and worried also. But I did take all empty supers off so they wouldn't have to heat as much. And I did what was said earlier and put a super filled with...

I was hoping he could wait, but doesn't look like the friend cares - I think he almost wants the bees to die. Is it too tacky of me that I hope he gets stung.... a lot? Just so they have a purpose...

Wow! Really makes you appreciate once again what amazing creatures they are, doesn't it?

I just got an email from a guy wanting someone to remove some bees from his friend's popup camper. The...

Thanks! I need some for my plants also!

I went yesterday to do what I could. The weakest hive had died. I was pretty sure it that had happened back when I got sick and wasn't able to combine...

Thanks, Hambone! I knew I could count on you! My girls are definitely getting the Mtn Camp treatment when it's warm enough. May send them to summer camp as well, if they're good. ;)

That's cool. So much easier than the whole sugar water thing. And you just put it in whether they have honey left or not? Or do you wait until they run low?

NewbeNc-
Kitty belonged to a neighbor. He was actually an extremely sweet kitty and loved being petted - as long as my cat didn't show up apparently! He was in my lap at the time and I (stupidly)...

Ohhh. Here I was just joking about your bees being from Montana and more cold hardy - and they weren't even native Montana bees. :doh: Just my luck!

So the mountain camp method you and Derek...

Reckon those Montana bees handle cold better than our Texas bees? :lpf: I'm betting you handle it better than I do! Seriously, though, thanks for the suggestions and reassurances, guys. I'm...

Now there's a good insulation idea, Ray! Although, I think I have my spare lids on either end of honey supers in the barn. :scratch:

I did forget to say I didn't take honey from the hives I'm...

Oh no! Just reading another thread....some of my hives have screened bottom boards on them!

I thought about taking a roll of house insulation I have and wrapping them! :o The ones I'm worried about have a pretty good windbreak of brush and a cedar. Tonight and tomorrow I'm not as worried...

Hey guys! I've been off for a while. I didn't spend as much time this fall as I wanted to or winterizing. On Nov. 3 the neighbor's cat decided to bite my hand (as he saw my cat) and it was badly...

Oh, Hambone, if YOU build a snowman, please post photos! I can't even imagine what you'll come up with!

Snow in Texas yesterday..and it's barely December!! Uh Oh! :lookout:
