The Above agreement is NOT copywrited and can be used by any beekeeper for any purpose. Just copy and past into MS Word and alter it as you see fit.

Dixie, I would do something simple like this:

This agreement is between a landowner_________________________and a beekeeper____________________.
The purpose of this agreement is for understanding...

Daniel, as a landowner I would send you packing if you brought me this agreement, no way in heck I would sign such a thing. You put all the liability on the landowner and none on the beekeeper, if...

Small biz is the backbone of this country, you have my vote!

Done, good luck!

As I am 6'5" 230 lbs I had the same problem, I would never wear a suit, to hard to get into and way too hot. A jacket with heavy jeans is the only way to go. My old jacket was a regular canvas...

How many dead hives are there and are all the hives in the yard dead? Need to send some samples to the bee lab. Sorry for your loss man.

Change the title of this thread to get more real beeks to look at the photos and tell you what it is. Don't listen to us newbies and the wanna bees in here. Guys that have lived through this stuff...

I would research it allot more before doing anything drastic, try this link https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/beebase/index.cfm?pageid=89
Waiting to treat would not be a option for me, I would want...

I too received packages from Bluegrass last week, I did want bees from Rossman's but I have no problem with Gardner's, had them last year from another dealer, no problems. Bluegrass dropped them at...

Priceless comment, well done!

If you planted a crop of say Borage, you could get 3 flowering crops per year and get in theory 900 lbs of honey per acre. If you could harvest the seeds and the ruffage for say hayledge to feed cows...

Nice job with the video, Don's bees look great, healthy. You blog is first rate as-well, I do enjoy it.
Thanks!

I am very concerned that we may have an early vfow and a VERY long dearth. could be a bad year leading into a really bad winter.

The spring is running about 3 weeks early, does that mean the flow will start early and end early or will the flow even out and be around normal this year? Would like to know for planning splits this...

Hey Spark, you ARE Bud Dingler arnt you!, dang man, I knew it, Bear and Monsanto need you! That guy is obsessed with you!

Nice post Brad, good information, should help a bunch of beeks.
Thanks

Good luck, hope you get some bees soon!
