:)This is a great technique beepro. I really like the use of the screen and the foam and the tooth picks. Awesome. We have some shishkebab skewers at the house and for various non shishkebab related...

I was at my friends yard today and I have bees there. I can tell my bees apart from his easily. Have her send you a picture of her bees and see if they look the same. If they do then the notion of...

That is great. I laughed right along with him.:):thumbsup: Nice job!!!!

Johnny is a good guy to deal with. He sent me 2 queens this year. Both queens arrived perfectly and the post office called and let me know they arrived. No problems. Great communication. Thank You...

I like the shallow boxes I got from H.T. Krantz They are nice quality and the shallow wooden frames from them are nice too.
I'm glad that they are out there and will purchase from them again. Jeff

I like reading this forum. It makes me believe that despite so many things that may have become worse for the bees that the beekeepers all of us will be the ones that save the bees in the long run....

Hi Ben, I can relate to worrying about AFB. I haven't been at this that long and since AFB is such a daunting disease that can apparently hit anybody's bees even very strong bees that rob other...

I just found a video from Fat Beeman. He seems to like Mega Bee as well. He has more experience than I do:)
I wish I knew more on Feed Bee. I hope I'm not off topic. Just trying to help.

Here's...

I have used mega bee here and there. The bees seemed to do ok with it. I just put some on a leaf above the top bars or near the hole of an inner cover with space there for the bees to come get it....

Hi, That is not uncommon in my experience. If the queens are laying eggs in both hives and there is an ok amount of bees like ... bees clinging to a few frames things should start balancing out in a...

:) Thanks and Thanks for checking out my videos:) I'll post more. I will be working all day tomorrow so hopefully they won't drift too much. I was wondering why the cell starter goes over another...

Thank You for responding Oldtimer. I appreciate you taking the time to help me with my uncertainty. Caging the bees worked so well to start the cells that it seemed like I could leave them caged...

This is a great thread. Getting to read everyone’s beekeeping strategies is a privilege. I have a question that is asked in this post but I feel like I am still unsure. Whenever I grafted a few...

Nice!!!! They look really good!

I have looked for queencells after the queen has hatched and it will be like they never existed. They do clean up the evidence of the cells with precision. If a queen hatched out she is probably ok....

Hi, It seems like there are plenty of bees to cope with the moths I am surprised to see the moths being successful with the number of bees. I was wondering last year if the screened bottom boards...

If you can find the old queen....Here's an option if you have the stuff.... put the old queen in another box with 2 frames of brood frame of pollen and a frame of uncapped honey and then you could...

bssharp... Thumbs up to what you wrote:) I'm surprised the bees didn't go in. The few times I put packages in the bees always went in to get with the queen by the morning of the next day.

I...

TWall you got in the post while I was writing:) I'm glad we agree:)

vnatzke, Hi, 50 doesn't sound alarming to me.
Packages have bees that are dumped into the package so some of them may have been old and died during the install.
They should clean them out when...

I was thinking about what I am about to state here this spring when it was cold enough that I didn't want to open the hives yet.
"Seeing some dead bees in front of the hive is a good thing"

This is great to see Oldtimer. Thank you for sharing. I was thinking of making some because I don't need very many. I have a router a saw and a drill bit. Perhaps I will try my hand at making some...
