I have wired foundation, new frames with holes in the side for the wire and the foundation does not hang fully in the centre. Can I glue it in place with a hot-melt glue gun.

I purchased a new cover this year that is 1/2 to 3/4 inches longer. By sliding it over the end with the opening, there is a perfect access. By sliding it back into place, the door is closed. I love...

I got a swarm call in late June, captured it, hived it and fed it and it is now thriving. Yesterday I went for a look in the brood box for the first time and when I pulled an upper frame, bridge comb...

I had them fill a drawn box in less than a week, how long to draw out foundation and fill it?

Sounds a little extreme....

Sounds right, I was in my hives Monday and the queen had 6 frames both faces FULL of brood in the upper box alone. 8 frames in the lower all had some brood.

I was afraid of swarming so I stuck a...

The day I bought my first hives, the guy I bought extra supers off of gave me 5 gallons of syrup leftover from when he had bee. It was in a water tank on a trailer and he had not had bees for 2...

The statement has been made, what are your thoughts. I wintered my hives both in double deeps and this spring, both survived, still had the upper box weighing a solid 50 plus pounds and I never fed...

A swarm trap works on one main philosophy, that there is a swarm. This will not happen until they have sufficiently filled out whatever cavity they have moved into. IT could take weeks, months or...

What constitutes near, I have 2 hives but 1mile away the guy has 40-50. Still good where I am???

Caught one last night MAy 28 in Lasalle just South of Winnipeg. Have them boxed, waiting to see if they stay.

Ok, so I go to lift the lid and install a frame of honey and a pollen patty and the bees are all hanging in a swarm on the underside of the lid. I am going to take this as a good sign that the queen...

I have a pollen pattie and a full frame of frozen honey that I am thawing. I was going to give them both but the rain is too hard so I can't open the hive.

Thoughts???

I just ran out and cover the hive better as the lid was full of water... the downpour is on full this AM.

Last night I got a call at 930 just before dark that this guy had watched a swarm fly in and land int he pine tree in his front yard. The local person who is listed on the swarm catchers site gave...

I was reading the thread on how loud a swarm is and it peaked my interest on trapping bees. A friend sent me this link for a trap

I picked up my first swarm last night. They were hanging in a pine tree about 8 feet off the ground, had been there since 4:30 when the owner saw them arrive and land. They were dead-silent until I...

Manitoba is about 135 for a package, 150 for a nuc, close to 200 for single and auctions last year saw 400 for a full two deep.

Great presentation. I fretted over my boxes all winter and put them out in the back yard at the end of Feb. Opened the lid, checked for life and left them alone. Last week at 50 degrees I opened the...
