Anyone know what the limitations are if you sell someone a jar of honey then at some point down the road they decide your honey made tham sick and they decide to sue you? I think with most anything...

That queen died a few days ago by the way. I didn't see anything alive in there for a couple days and opend it an went in. The queen and 3 other bees were laying inside the sugar syrup I put in for...

I'll bare that in mind delber. There are some things I'm learning on here and ironically from my own thread I posted and I'm learning them at the expese of my own....from it being exposed of just...

tommysnare, of course that was not an attack on your part. Anyone without a brain will figure that.
delber, I just cannot stop laughing even 10 minutes after reading your post. Some of you non beeks...

gmcharlie, excuse me if I was a bit over-definsive. Honestly though I did sort of get the feeling or impression you gave implication I was wreckless, careless, thoughtless and might not should be...

Where have you gottin this imformation from that tracheal mites enter bees through spiracles? I might stand to learn something here? IF they do, why then does David Cushman state in one of his pages:...

First off gmcharlie, you obviously don't know the proper use of quotation marks. When using them you should quote the exact words someone said. I did not say through no fault of my own. What I said...

I lost another colony to what appears to be starvation, and 2nd one this winter. Im not blaming myself becase I had been feeding this last one and it died anyway. The one that died last month even...

BeeCurious that is rather ignorant of you to write such an irrelivent thing. I get on here looking for useful unformation and get nothing but nearly redundant answers. I don't think it was a...

It's really not inedable, but just undesirable to people. It might be fine to the bees. I have eaten a little of it and didn't get sick or anything. It's just the weardest honey I ever saw. Everyone...

I inspected one of my hives today. It's the 1st year for this colony as I just installed them from a package this last Spring 2012. All through the hive consisting currrently of 3 medium 8 frame...

This last Spring, I used mine from the previous year to regress a package of 5.4 bees down to 4.9. It was actually just an expiroment that seems to have worked.

Depends on location KEN. Here in my area it goes for $10.00/pound net weight. Many people I work with think that's too high. The few jars of honey I sell or don't sell isn't going to make me or break...

Keth in the video of the washboarding, is that a differient race of bees in the hive next to the one washboarding that is flying in and out and the washboarding hive where they are on the landing...

Is it just to pass the time when they figure there is not much to do. The bees are mix race in my TBH. They seem to washboard more then anything lately. This is on the landing board, and looking...

I'm baffeled by one thing.
First off, I have been a firm believer in SCF and natural comb since right off the bat. It pleases me that you and you all are getting satisfactory results and I assume...

Challenger. Sorry I have more questions than answers. I'll let more experienced honey producers answere your question.
However I am poised contribute to nip this SHB problem in the butt for all us....

drmanhadan I think it to be pollen.
Once a few months ago I was observing mine out on the farm. There were some flying in with very intense bright florecent orangish red on them and not necessiarly...

Here in the Nashville area mleck, I have been selling usually 1 lb jars for $10.00 mostly to people at work if they provide their own jar. If I provide the jar I have to add the figured cost of jar...

Here in Tennessee maybe anywhere where it's really hot and humid, I would be concerned that with a top feeder in the hive might there be the possibilty of mold growth up on the inside of the top...

Well I wasn't sure this wasn't a joke, but looks like it is not. Certainly would be a quick and easy way to introduce a queen but I thought very risky. I think I can see possibly the honey covering...

You took the exact words right of my mouth Dynasty to a tee.
jmgi if you actually really did do that, keep us posted.
Truthfuly, I suppose what would happen is they would first eat the honey off...

Little longer than 6 weeks ago I installed a package of 5.4 mm bees with a Russian queen into a hive with 4.9 mm drawn comb in an attempt to regress them. The comb was what had the honey extracted...

The vasoline I used didn't melt down but it hardened and in just less than 3 days, such that the ants just walked right over it. It actually started turing kind of green after a day, then more...
