It's that time here in Tennessee. And not a month too soon! Last spring we suffered through a four month long drought and consequently had no spring honey flow. We did have a nice late summer/autumn...

On Sunday, my mother was stung on the bottom lip and by nightfall her lip had swollen to four or five times its normal...

I'm there, dude!

DANG! I'd hate to see the size of the bluebirds in Blacksburg. :eek:

Spotted and captured a 5 lb. swarm about ten feet above ground in a cedar tree around 2:00 PM. The WX was mostly sunny, 82F and breezy with possible storms 12 hours off. This yard is located in...

RCorl, here is a video of SteveBee and I installing pkgs in adjacent TBH last spring. Good luck.

'lo Jeff. Welcome to beesource.com. Set up some swarm traps/bait hives real soon and get right back in there. Free bees make better honey.

SteveBee and I were discussing this earlier. He thought we should move a couple frames of brood up, and I thought we should move them down. We're using eight frame mediums, and we have an empty...

Thanks for the heads up. When ordering frames from Kelley's back in Oct., I asked about narrow frames and was told they could make them but there would be an additional charge and a delay in...

Hi Stacy and welcome to beekeeping and beesource.com. Here are two clubs in your neck of the woods.

For the record, the subject line was supposed to be "Monsanto FOUND guilty..." instead of "Monsanto is guilty..." but I wasn't paying attention and flubbed it.

Nevertheless, Monsanto is a...

In a major victory for public health and what will hopefully lead to other nations taking action, a French court decided today that Monsanto is guilty of chemically poisoning a French farmer. The...

Thank you. Good night.

Now why did that not occur to me? <face palm>

That makes perfect sense, and although I thought something seemed off about stacking the empty comb above the colony, the problems that might cause...

Is there anything wrong with placing a couple boxes of empty drawn comb above the inner cover on an active hive?

In a spur-of-the-moment decision yesterday, I placed two medium boxes of frames...

I bought this for a friend, then borrowed it. Great book!

:lpf:

Omie, Thank you for the information and tip on crownbees.com. After browsing around Dave's site for an hour or more yesterday, I now have a better idea of how to get started. I have a couple good...

Hi Omie,

I want to put out a block or two for solitary bees here in late winter or early spring. Do you have any advice on luring them to a new block and new tubes? I'd prefer to attract native...

Following Pete's lead, you might find the Wilson County Beekeepers Association meetings more convenient. They are an active bunch with members from most surrounding counties. WCBA usually meets at...

Hi Nash1521,

Welcome to beesource.com. You've come to the right place, but I bet you're in for a l o n g winter. How'd you come to want to keep bees?

Greg

David, did you hear Dan Purvis on Friday?
