Ya know come to think of it, I think that hive swarmed on me earlier in the year/ May. Out of my two hives that made it threw the winter I think they both swarmed. I managed to catch one but not the...

I’m a third year beek that has a question about honey production.

There are some trees with white blossoms on them not sure what they are. I think maybe Dogwood?
Forsythia is in bloom as well.

:ot: This may be a bit off topic but has anyone out there used crystilized honey and flour to make patties to feed thier bees? If not flower what could I use to make a patty for a winter feed?

Has anybody out there had bear problems? I had a bear attack my hives over the weekend. I want to know if anyone has had the same problems and what they did to deter them. I was looking into...

The brood looked a bit soft and gooey but tasted kind of sweet, na only kidding about the taste part but I did see some black spots on them. I am feeding that hive sugar water. This was a new...

The utube video looks a lot like what’s going on with my hive. I did notice that there is more brood being thrown out. I have to wait till Friday when the weather gets nice to take a look inside the...

I did not do any treatments. It was only about a handfull or so but it had me worried when I first noticed. I'm running 3 hives now and that was the only hive that had any issues so far that I can...

The Breed of bee is Italian; I was thinking the same thing that they are taking out infected or other wise bad brood. I will do an inspection on Friday as some of the brood should start to emerge at...

I have a hive where the bees are dragging out undeveloped bees. Why would they be doing this? Is this a sign that there is something wrong with the colony?

I put a package in last Saturday and just checked to see if the queen had been released. I saw the queen but no eggs. BTW the package was Italians and the Queen was a Carniolan. Well the bees are...

I agree diversification could be the key of any species to adapt and survive.

This site talks about the loss of bees due to pesticides.

I did mix up some sugar syrup for them, but they also have plenty of honey stored up. I have this Friday off and it should be in the 70s. This will give me a chance to have a closer look to see if...

I popped the top off the other day and saw a softball size cluster still active. Do you think they will make it? I’m a first year beek and have little experience. I would hate to loose my first...

All the bees seem to be up in the super/ Should I take the hive deeps away and collaps them all into that one super and hope for the best?

Checked my hive over the weekend and saw that I had a massive loss of bees. I do have some bees left and also found the queen. Now that being said should I start seeing eggs or brood? I look at...

thanks that was a cool wiki page.

The pollen that I've seen so far looks an off white color almost grayish. Any Idea what the source might be?

I went out to the hive just to have a peek to see what I could see and low and behold I saw a bee with some pollen in her basket. What in the heck could be in bloom this time of the year in upstate...

To use or not to use chems? If you use chems you take a chance of building a resistance to the chems or killing your patient in the process. The treatment of a disease is not a cure but a...

Yes I did see some yellow spotting around in the snow as well.
