I agree Aerindel. Epi can be a potentially dangerous drug and I would caution anyone thinking about keeping one around to administer to someone to whom it was not prescribed. Prescription drugs are...

Thanks for the helpful information. This is the first time I have tried this. You emailed me pictures and information a while back, so I used that to come up with what I used. I think I can still...

Checked the box today 24 hours after introducing open brood. Bees have moved our and covered the brood but did not see the queen today. I have a screen trap ready to install if I can catch her out...

Will do! I am going to add a frame of open brood this afternoon.

Everything I have read indicates that mites prefer drone cells due to the longer time it takes for the drones to develop and emerge. Not so much due to the size of the cell. So with a queen only...

Yeah, those old couch cushions came in handy. The foam compressed nicely and molded around all the rough edges.

Yep, there is a 3/8" opening the width of the hive body at the landing board.

Started a trap-out yesterday morning. The folks didn't want to kill the bees, but they feed the squirrels on that tree and the bees have been getting after the tree rats. They were very excited...

I would say it might be a problem. I removed bees and comb Tuesday from a tree that had been cut down for a few weeks. It was being robbed out and there were dozens of wax moth larvae crawling...

you will need to do a trap out. There are several threads you can search on here for trap outs and swarm harvester. Cleo C. Hogan does a great job explaining in the threads how to get the queen out...

I would leave the honey for the bees and yes, some in both boxes. It will delay the cost of providing sugar water and it is better for them. If most of the cells on a frame are capped it should be...

Congrats on the swarm! Looks very exciting.

I put together 40 medium budget boxes from ML this winter. Went together fine. They are far from perfect but fully functional. I did use my plane to take of some irregularities and filled in some...

I hope someone does know of a source. I was planning on buying the deep frames and cutting off the bottom portion to fit my medium boxes.

Welcome! Great, another Missouri beekeeper. Hope you get those bees you are looking for.

I like mine to set up hard and the bees have not had any trouble eating it. I had a batch that was turned out to soft so I put back in the pot and reheated to 247. It set up fine then. I don't...

If you like the spot then it is the right spot. It sounds as if you have thought it through and it is a fine space and the bees will do fine. Good luck on your new hives!

Do a google search for "how to download videos from youtube". Apparently there are download programs or applications you can use to download and convert. I personally have not tried it. Good luck.

I know there isn't a flow on and I am not feeding syrup but when I checked my carniolan hive yesterday there were eggs. No eggs in my other hives. Tons of pollen coming in though.

I ordered a carniolan queen from Adam Ebert in Iowa late in the summer for a queenless hive. She has an incredible brood pattern. It was my smallest of five hives (two italians, two beeweavers, and...

Shea butter is a component used due to beneficial, curative properties.

The problem with Chapstick and similiar products is that they contain petrolatum or petroleum. Not the best stuff to be putting on or near your mouth.

I think I will give them a try next year as I just found out I have a vitamin D deficiency. According to The Beekeepers Handbook Fourth Edition, bee brood consists of 15% protein, 4 % fat, 77%...
