Crawford County Ohio, 5/5-11. I would say about 3-4 pound swarm unfortunately it was 20ft up in an apple tree.. But I got em!

Good stuff, thank you all. But let me get this straight on the shake out portion of the program. After I take the hive away 50 ft or so, I am assuming I would take each frame out and shake as many...

Anyone have an opinion on what would be the best way to combine a colony that is in a deep hive body with a laying worker with a nuc that has a decent queen? Both colonies set in the yard about 3...

I like the site really well, think it will be awesome for a small timer like me. Only issue I have ran into so far is I can not get it to load on my BB storm. I get the site header but that is all....

What about supers and hive bodies. Have used plastic on all three of my hives for inner covers and telescoping covers and all three hives have survived winter so far. Have others had the same...

I just came across an old stash of unused beekeeping equipment. Very lucky find I am thinking, but a lot of the shallow supers and hive bodies are a molded polyurethane. They seem pretty sturdy and...

I began to prepare my frames from last year for foundation tonight and ran across a few shallow ones that had been about 1/4 of the way drawn out. I also found a couple that had a little uncapped and...

I have them about 30ft from mine. Never seen any issues, besides drunks burning up all my wood:D

Those are exactly the style I am referring to. I guess I was a little off on the time frame they were popular but those are exactly what I am interested in. Any other info would be great. These are...

I was watching a program on television a while ago and they were showcasing some people rescuing a style of hive in europe that were all carved some were bears, some soldiers some looked like lawn...

They sure were my favorite pair of Atlanta Falcons ones.... Those will not see a bee yard again soon...Sometimes birds and bees don't mix..LOL

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately you have all opened my eyes to something I should have known. This will likely not be my last stupid mistake, I believe there is more pain to come! I will...

Having had my hives for the best part of the year now I have gotten pretty comfortable working with my bees. I have one hive that is very docile and another that is not aggressive but a little hotter...

Good info, thanks to everyone for the input!

Okay, so I have everything going with 2 hives and just want to get opinions (if you could sprinkle it with a little reasoning that would be great) as to how often I should be doing inspections? Allow...

Hello all,

What I great forum! :applause: I have been lurking the site for a while as I was waiting to get bees before posting. Well I caught my first swarm last week (Outside the Verizon store...
