Found one here in Wisconsin last year very similar to this one. Spotted mine after leaves fell in late fall. It was located in a flowering crab only 60-70 feet from my hives and I had never spotted...

Burlap is my first choice and old denim my second. Lucky to have a coffee roasting company nearby which gives away the large bags the coffee is shipped in. Wad of newspaper to start then add either...

Re EPI pens: If you have one pay attention to the expiration date and try to store it in a dark and some what cool place. Re stings my girls little "love taps" don't bother me at all while a hit...

Agreed!!

I would be worried about the river bottom. Cold settles into lower areas. I try to keep mine in an area that is protected from westerly winds, and have a southern facing exposure.Also wrap w/tarpaper...

Yeah, that sucks. Feel for you as I've been there myself. I had a very good winter here in S.E. Wisconsin. Put 10 to bed last fall and had 8 make it through looking incredibly strong. Recently had by...

Scott: You are not alone in the chase. Some years ago spotted a swarm taking flight from my hives. They eventually headed SW from my home. Followed them about 1/2 mile across the field next door...

Really felt good here today in S.E. Wisconsin. Temps in the mid to upper 40s. Best part though is that as of now I have 10 of 10 still alive. Still have some winter to get through but it looks...

One time or another I think we've all been through this situation. I'd toss and burn.

Great pics Barry. I live north of Lake Geneva about 45 minutes. Lots of wild turkeys in this area. Now with spring I'm seeing the adult toms sitting out in the fields strutting their stuff. all...

Maybe "something" got into the water supply??

Yeah, I liked this one to. Passed it on to a bunch of guys that will appreciate it.

I have 2 of the thistle feeders up for the Finches. Another is filled with safflower seed which Cardinals seem to prefer. 2 more have sunflower. In the past I also have hung deer rib cages. It helps...

Pretty much the same situation here as Barry has. Filling almost every other day. Good mix of birds but more finches this year than ever.

Definetly good eating. Have not had it in years but I also raised them for the frying pan at one time. Very easy to sell the surplus to once you find the right buyers. Good luck with them.

Hi Ron: Don't really think there is any real difference in blowing out frames comparing one type to another. Always critical to try to get the extractor load balanced and then start spinning slowly...

Waukesha county here. Some honey put up but seems like its a smaller than normal crop coming in.

Sometimes referred around here as a "roof rake". When snow build up on your roof you can reach up from the ground and pull it off the roof. Helps keep to much weight from accumulating on the roof....

Started to read the ABJ tonight which had just came today when the phone rang. Guy had a swarm in his front yard in a small pine tree. Swarm was no more than 5 feet off the ground. This tree was...

Hi Soapy: Not sure if these are the best but I tried plastic one piece frames this year for the first time . Bought 2 cases of Pierco (black) and so far have been totally satisfied with them. Asked...

I usually cut up my old jeans when they get worn out. Easy to get going with a bit of paper and being a hobbyist they last long enough to check my hives before they are gone.

Terry: Really enjoyed your video. Glad to say I don't have the same hazards around my hives that you have. After reading some of the posts I might suggest a "relocation plan to Conn." That might make...

Carefull kids: Almost sounds like we are drawing the lines between blue and gray again.

Mine always came out tough and chewy before I tried a friends method. I fire up my gas grill and throw them on at high heat. Looking to really sear them or brown them up very well. When they are...

You could place an ad on Craig's List. No cost,local,and might get more per jar in price. I have had good luck here selling asparagus that way.
