About a month ago I thought that one of my hives died during the winter. Then all of a sudden I started to see activity. I decided to open it up and see how weak they were. When I did, I was correct...

I have a hive at my friends house and got a call around 1pm today that the bees were in the air. When I got there (2 miles away), the flying bees were gone, but the front of the hive was covered. 80...

ordered, thanks.

Thanks, you have mail Rick.

I tried Bees etc and they are all out.

Is anyone selling nucs or packages that will ship? I checked the for sale forum and didn't see any. I know I am late at trying to place an order, had a busy winter with other hobbys. Only needing 1....

Yeah but you can say that about anything that you do. If your a delivery driver, why chance driving your car for petty stuff when you could get into an accident.

Just found out that the President of our local association had everything on his property, except for his house, wiped out from a fire. He had well over 100 hives and was one of three, i think, that...

Instead of using oil, use dish soap and water. Might have to fill it up every three days, but not as messy as oil.

Man I finally used it today and it saved me atleast 4 hours of work. I so wish I had put this thread up before I did the 40 deep frames when I first started.

Thanks for the help.

Thats right, 6 weeks ago today I received my two 4-frame nucs . Checked on them Monday evening and quickly discovered that they are moving faster then I thought. I had already added another deep,...

My bees have been doing this for the last week and I know there is a queen laying in my hive.

It is a small super (atleast that is what I was told when I bought it).

I would love to, but I feel like I am 2 weeks behind because they built those instead of on the new frames and there were full of eggs.

Here is a pic of what they did with that feeder. Hope it isn't to big.

Is the 5 gal water jugs viable to put honey in for storage?

For any company not to allow insurance, especially that small of distance, I would not do business with them.

Congrats.

I am still waiting for that day when they are bringing in some loads of stuff.

Good to know. I have two boxers and have another hive at a friends house that has 1 boxer and they are in the yard all the time when I am not at home.

No pics?

oh it was very nice to see that.

Today my mentor and I opened the two hives that I have. I had top feeders on them and I can now say that those are worst thing I could have purchased. The bees...

I don't smoke mine. I sometimes don't even smoke mine when opening up the hive.
