I'm sick of feeders that drown my bees is there a good top feeder that really works

Thanks I'll thy some of them. But I guess I am looking for someone who produces queens that will work and last up here in South Dakota. I read to much about queens that don't last.

Mannlake seems to work good for me

I Have never had to buy Queens, but this year I would like to buy Queens for my splits. But where??:scratch:

My first try with the Mann Lake Queen Rearing Kit after leaving the queen in it for 2 days she layed more the 1 egg in most cells up to 3 in some. now what:scratch: Thanks

The Ben Harden Method seems like a good way to go. But could you give me a time line, like when you set up the Breeder Hive versus when you set up the Cell Building Hive:s

Now that I’ve got the Queen Rearing Kit figured out or at least in a zone where I feel I’m ready to have a go at it. Another problem has popped up. It is about the cell building hive. I’ve read so...

I purchased a queenrearing kit from Mann Lake, and I have a few questions. First any comments or tips would be helpful. Then, when they say to use all the brown cups, if I need only ten queens do I...

What are the pros and cons of using a Queen Rearing Kits like Mann Lakes or something similier.

What kind are your nuc from where and made how

They are Homemade 3 frame Mini Mating Nucs with 8X4 frames. a cut sheets of foundation into the frames

I'm starting Queen rearing using new baby nucs. is there a good fast way to get foundation for them.

I'm buying nucs again this and I've got a question. Should I use only one Deep for the first season? Or sghould I start out with two Deeps?

I'm buying nucs again this year. But before I do I'd like to know how most of you start your nucs. do you keep then in a single deep, or do you put them in a double deep?

Thanks to all who answered. I did see a queen, and I don't think its a young one, so that makes it one gone bad. and yes the season is just begining.

After winter I have one hive, about a softball size cluster, the queen is present, but she is laying more then one egg in a cell. how much effert are they worth? was a good hive last year.

I downloaded that book, but I don't remember the web site where I found it. But is a very intresting book.

Some are real old, I got them from an old beekeeper. but over the past 5 years I've been buying and replacing a lot of them. I'm a real cheapy, do I have to throw away the plactic foundation too.

I want to start rotating and melting my broodframes. what do I need to know. Also how does one melt the wax without also melting the foundation:s
Thanks for any help.

Up here in SD it is still to early to really get a true picture, but so far it looks really good.

Does anyone have plans for a Baby Nuc. Thanks for any help.

I need Queens in the Watertown SD area PM me. thank you

Due to unseasonal cold weather, new nucs, and because I split them, most of my Hives are in a single deep. the main flow is only a few weeks away. My question is, would it be best to add Brood...

:confused: I'm wondering the same thing, when is the best time to take them out, our night temps still drop to around 25 F I grabed your C temps and will convert them and see how they compare. maybe...

I'll try that. thank you

I'd like to try Walt's checkerboarding, but I don't have any shallow supers. is there a way one can use only deeps. Thank you
