You might give Jack Tapp in chapell hill a call. Its Busy Bee Apiary, but I think he is feeding HFCS, maybe not though. I have heard he will sell bulk amounts when he has it on hand, and I know he is...

just wondering what your doing w/ the yellowjacket nests when you find them?

I know how you feel, honestly. I keep thinking @ some point I will get where I dont swell, which is the only thing that bothers me. It disturbing to others also when my hand looks like a catchers...

Heres the problem.. I was splitting two hives yesterday afternoon, one hot healthy hive and one healthy rather well producing hive. It was down and dirty, take off supers, break up the double deeps...

Is there a daily itinerary for this event. I cant seem to find one, but The wife and I are going to bee there. maybe all three days.

Maybe its possible that there are some crops around you. I am starting to see some cotton blooms and possibly some soybeans I hope. There are a few trees blooming in my area but I have yet to ID...

I gave my bees a bucket of honey and comb from a cut out, and I added some long grasses from the apiary and some grass clippings kinda wadded and twisted loosley so that when I placed this in the...

just a note: I used the moat method w/ oil. I will use water next. Bees seem to drown in this, or get in it and die climbing out leaving little "dead bee walking" tracks on your hive legs. A water...

Now I know all of them were not working, Some of them were having a bible meeting trying to convert some paper wasps to working for the good of the honeybee colony. Btw: Thanks for the conversation,...

Ok where here comes resident #2 for my Feral Bee Observation Reserve (My new name for the breeding ground). I have just went and checked out a very big hive today. A fellow beek in the area...

I had not thought about this since, in my lack of knowledge, I figured that what ever genetic change or behavior that has allowed them to live w/o intervention would carry over into my hive...

I most of the time go gloveless.. When I get stung in the side of the hand I swell up big, but the fingertips not so much. It was explained to me that if it is in a area with more loose skin the more...

This has got me thinking, a few weeks ago I saw alot of what I identified as Assassin Bugs like this. I knew the adults sometimes take honeybees, but was wondering if they smaller ones might take...

hey, slightly left of center on that bees back.. is that a v. mite?

I'll try to help.. im new also but when the bees build the comb the make a small slope up in the front so that the nectar runs to the back.. I have heard if you turn comb upside down the bees will...

I have already voted and posted but wanted to report a observation today. I was rehiving a feral collony today onto foundation and caught a beesting right in the end of my index finger. this are is...

I spent my fathers day cleaning up after a large feral bee cutout from yesterday and transporting the packed hive to my mother in laws :D

Thanks for the reply, it really does..

First off I would like to think the inventor or the beevac and beesource.com for the plans, that thing rocked! My wife and myself cut out a hive inside of an old house today. We cut out from the...

I have a link to a taxidermy forum where you can sell them for 30-40$ a piece :D

thanks for the reply.. I have almost finished my beevac only the hose left.. I have one more person joining my cutout team (my father) so that will make three, with two veils between us. Ill have to...

I have found I think the best way to do a cut out for experience and the feral bees. It is a old house in the woods that no one has lived in for 70 years and has had bees around and over the door for...
