Yes, I expect to have them through the spring. Right now, to Georgia, I need $180 extractor and shipping, sent to my PayPal account. (eddixon@earthlink.net) You will get it in 3 days.

Ed

I have sold about 120 of these, but none here.

Since you are not far away, the best thing is to take a look at one. In fact, I will be in Myrtle Beach on Thursday and I can save you a trip. If you purchase, you will save the shipping charge as...

The more of these I buy, the better the price. New price is $160 plus shipping, which is about $25 east of the Rockies and $30 west of the Rockies.

I finally did it !! It wasn't as big a deal as I expected since I have an auger for my tractor. It took about $65 in posts, $45 in wire and $60 for a gate, plus a half days work. I consider it like...

IF it turns out that the bees were poisoned, you don't have to prove that the tree company did it to a certainty, only to what is reasonable under the circumstances. Since there is no other...

I will go by the supply house today and take a look at those. Thanks.

Yes, my goats end up at the highest point and would certainly get on top of the hives. I was just hopeful they would do it...

Thanks everyone. You know, I "kind of" knew that I should fence the apiary in, but I was just hopeing that someone had a magic solution. My goats will walk under an elecctric fence when the ground is...

What can be expected if one turns farm animals loose in the same area as the apiary? Am I going to have to fence the apiary in and the animals out? Sure would like to hear "no". It's a lot of work to...

New Stainless Steel honey extractor. Extracts 2 frames of any size. Email for photos. Basket has been factory modified to fit US frames. Comes with a honey gate/drain. $189 or $199 with a cap knife,...

Get one that is larger than you would normally buy and it is less likely to pull apart at the seams. They're hot, but cheap and effective.

Ed

Thanks, so do I close them off at night and haul them the next day to avoid leaving field bees?

Ed

I did a split and took the split 3 miles from my apiary to prevent the bees from going back to their home hive. I purchased a queen since I was not happy with the genetics of the old hive. They are...

We need to get together and share information. My bees are on Sumter St. Don't want to put my number here. Look in the phone book for GE Dixon.

I installed two hives last year and just installed...

My bees had flowers to work all winter !! They took very few days off.

Ed

Thanks for the warm welcome !! Ed

Thank you gentlemen. Good information. It is amazing how the internet allows the transfer of knowledge !! I can learn in a week what would have taken a year 20 years ago.

Thanks,

Ed

They are now bringing in a lot of pollen. Looks like giving nature time is the key. I will leave them alone for a couple of weeks and then take a look.

Thanks,

Ed

I read somewhere on this website that vegetable oil was not a good thing to use below the SBB because racoons like it and may disturb the hive. In another place I see a mixture of baby oil and...

Thanks to everyone for the information. I am learning a lot from this. First, it looks like I have jumped the gun with my concern. I will give it more time. I did see bees with pollen on their legs...

I had a very strong hive swarm about 3 weeks ago. I went into the hive today and bee wise it is still quite strong with loads of honey and pollen. However, there are no queen signs.......no brood, no...

Hello,
I have been lurking for some time and am learning a great deal. I seem to get most of what I need here without posting. A simple search finds a myriad of links, photos and first hand...

Really like Brushy Mountain and Kelley. Had a bad experience with Dadant. Placed an order and included a note. They mis-read the note and changed my order without confirming, then blamed me. Okay, I...

Interesting experience today with fireants. I had a few ants in a hive cover and knocked them off, but they kept coming from somewhere. A close inspection revealed that the ants had made tunnels into...
