Thanks!

Just moved to the area and would like established hive or nuc within 50 miles of St Louis. Willing to pay $150 for hive $75 for strong Nuc.

If there is a flow on, the bees totally ignore the plants and herbs in my yard in favor of the
feast they have found elsewhere. When that tapers off they are back in my yard again happpily buzzing...

The previous posters offer good advise about timing your spraying. As far as the chemicals you need, checking out your local extension office is the best bet. I am in the humid southeast and take a...

Brushy Mountain and probably others sell a small sticky label that explains why natural honey crystalizes. They are inexpensive and serve to educate the public. Theresa.

I have not recieved mine yet. Theresa.

I'm in NC and have been ordering from Camden Grey in Miami. Best prices around. www.camdengrey.com.

First of all I have a question for George. How do you powder your propolis without gumming up whatever machine you use?

I use propolis in my products as a natural preservative, first disolving it...

I have used Camden Grey for the last three years. You can actually use most types of vegetable butter in the recipe stated. I used Mowrah Butter for a while but am switching back to Shea Butter as...

After the foragers have left for the morning, swap the weak hive for the strong hive. You will gain the foraging population in the weak hive when they return for the day and equalize them. Theresa.

or Chaste berry is the most popular with all types of bees and butterflies. A close second is ergynium, similar to globe thistle, absolutly covered! You can't go wrong with most herbs too when they...

I just put it full strength on the top bars. About ten drops or so. It will last about a month depending on temperature. I get mine from camdengrey.com. Theresa.

I pay $6 for a case (12) half pint or pint canning jars at Big Lots. People prefer glass and these are the cheapest ones I've found. Shipping costs will kill you when ordering glass online. ...

Not affected by the freeze but just about done for now. Got five capped shallows from the strong hive but nothing from the other two. Theresa.

And this is why. Round up is taken up by the leaves and then down into the roots of the plant which is what kills the weed. If a stronger concentration is used it causes the leaves to die before...

I think it's a good idea and some women will find it a comfortable fit. I have met some women in my life who are very intimidated by men, in person or 1000 miles away on a computer. Not quite sure...

Learning is part of the fun. You won't learn if you don't try lots of different things. And as long as your bees are not your sole source of income, it's all good. I have made a lot of mistakes...

I have a love/hate relationship with the fire ant. They do control varroa mites by eating the ones that fall to the ground and they sure do like to snack on ticks and fleas. Neither of my outdoor...

I take off honey at the end of May as we are usually in a dearth by early June. The summer is pretty slow for the most part and then we get a smaller fall flow with cotton, aster and goldenrod. The...

The one posted on the bat conservation website. Very easy to build but the hard part was hauling it up 20 feet in the air and mounting it to the house because mine was quite heavy. (I enlarged the...

but have no idea if it was because of the lemongrass oil. It was a little smaller than a football. Seems to have a queen though. Theresa.

Now, I know I will be assaulted here but NC BBQ is quite odd and quite frankly, I don't like it. But like I said, I'm not from here. (Dodging rotten fruits and veggies and slinking out the back...

I thought about putting a feeder on them but it goes against my grain to coddle them. If they had taken up in a hollow tree they wouldn't get sugar syrup and our flow is good and strong right now...

at least amongst you folks. That's good to know because I had assumed that only one queen was allowed and having two was an extreme rarity. I guess the only way you would know this is to either...

but moved here for love....ok, Uncle Sam said you have to go and we did. Three years ago. So many of our fellow soldiers and their families love it here and decide to stay after their service is...
