they really need to have two deeps drawn and full of bees before I would stop feeding. You need that comb for next springs build up and if you don't have it they wont be strong enough to produce a...

I use mine for the follower board in my ten frame hives. I don't like the 9 frame spacing in a ten frames box but.... I do like being able to get the first frame out quickly. Mine are pierco's the...

There is a man I know David who has a tree of bees he has watched in (Hilham Tennessee about 30 minutes from you) for (he says) 7 years.

I don't know what their genetic history is but it has to...

If these are a package It more than likely is a supersedure. Out of my last 20 packages 14 of them had cells within 2 months.

Most commercial queens are pathetic. The bees know this and make one...

I am not sure Sue. But I have seen them around my hives for years.

Just for some real interesting old style beekeeping check out Heathland beekeeping... this to me is educational and nostalgic.

sounds good voted

[QUOTE=melliferal;943155]But again, most of us have come to understand as I pointed out that eradication is not a viable goal, and so it doesn't need to be a complete panacea. It doesn't need to...

nice that's the way American do it your selfers.

nice I am looking for some cedar as well

So how do pro-miticide users view the successes of beekeepers like Kent Williams, Kirk Webster, Michael Bush, and Dee Lusby just to name a few.

Some elaborate hoax? They got lucky? It's too much...

I think for those who successfully have kept there colonies without miticides should be called MITP. (Money in the Pocket.) Maybe not as catchy but better on the bottom line.

Workin on your...

looking forward to it.

Ya hard to tell how this year will go down on the crop. Here's hopin!

Maybe it's my type of bees but just doing paper combines has always been 100% successful (as long as only one had a queen.)

Maybe they might have had two queens. Back when I had full blood...

Even though your in AL bees cant handle large quantities of condensation. Even though bees won't winter kill till 30-40 below zero the humidity is what we have to watch for. I am putting moisture...

Nice lookin hives!

Every location has it's ups and downs. My area in TN is an awesome place for bees. Maybe not the best for high pollination contracts or extra large honey yields. But 90lbs a hive is common. No big...

I prefer a stronger dosage than a 1:1.

It takes up more cell space to dehydrate (queen laying space), more trips to feed it all, and the bees don't have to spend so much time to dehydrate so as...

pretty neat. sadly log hives without frames are not allowed in my state

I guess in Oregon you can have log hives?

These trees look great. Thanks for the photo's.

I'm about ready to plant 100 seeds anyone have much experience doing this and be willing to share some knowledge?

Thanks

When I get e.f.b. I kill the queen. I cycle my comb every 5 years so if she can't handle e.f.b. with that new of comb I don't want her.

When buying stock it is always good to buy bees that have a good history of mite resistence not from someone who sells bees and claims, but from someone who sells honey, pollinates crops, and sells...

Nice photos!
