i had a hive last year that went laying worker, it took about 6 weeks before i saw evidence. i dont think it is a quick process as the oviaries in the workers take time to develope. (after they are...

i put on after all bees are in so they have to leave thru it. dont know if it matters or not.

they are mated.

ordered 3 marked italians, they said they would ship 6-5 (they did) and I received them today. they look good will see how they lay. i got one last year and have done 2 splits from her. that hive...

they are stonger than i have ever had them, weather was not bad , a little windy.but went through every frame looking for the queen except the last one. always use smoke. put the new queen in the nuc...

went thru my hive to get brood frames for a new queen and they are not happy. how long til they go back to normal? or is this the new normal?

their service is much better. i think victoria bell is her name and she got back with me regarding an order before i could get another beer. i got my queen when she said i would and she looks...

hi all, i had a laying worker issue with my only hive. i didnt have the resources to deal with it like mr bush suggests.(i will next year.) i ended up getting a queen in there and a medium frame...

i thought they cap after they get it to 17% moisture content.

gas is a sure thing. do not light it! it also kills the grass. and they do not come back.

before you order a new queen make sure you will get it in a timely fashion.

i saw a deep w/bees for 225. seemed high to me but they might get it.

we have ground hornets/yellow jackets that live in holes. they are nasty and if you run them over with a lawn mower they get angry. a pint mason jar of gas (after dark) will kill all the grass and...

my inner cover is under my feeder. my t cover is on top. i have seen pics of lots of burr comb under top feeders that have room for it. i think the inner cover serves as an upper boundry to the hive.
