Sending you a PM.

Cordovans are very pretty and docile generally, they will also stand out from the others you have via coloration. I think they would make a great addition.

Those little sand lizards love larva and young bees. They are all over the queen yard here in MS. Don't think that they do enough damage to really worry about though.

Put sticks down in the straw and it will help prevent drowning even more.

Rubbing Alcohol??

A lot easier to graft from, takes a while for the light colored stuff to darken up enough to see the larva as well as the black.

I <3 it!!!!! Also when you run up on a few old timer commercial beekeepers sittin around talking, you better take a minute to listen to what they are sayin. It'll prolly pay off sooner than later.

Hooter's girls @ beeyards is a GOOD thing!!!:banana:

In the 70s one of my PawPaw's workers had the bright idea to tie-dye his bee-suit. Heard that it didn't work out for him exactly the way he had intended!! lol

I've heard pawpaw tell many a beek this method. Seems like a lot less fly away this way to me.

The workers should feed her.

That's more for me than the bees. =] It seems to get me grafting faster and a better % of drawn cells!! =O

I have a little boom box in the grafting shed that I keep on either Classic or Hard Rock everyday as I graft!! =D

Thanks for the responses all. I'll try contacting Walter T. Kelley and some others this week and see what they have. What I'm looking for are the narrow and wide ones that are specially made for that...

Where do you guys buy funnels for shaking package bees @? I've looked @ all the major bee supply retailers and haven't found the big funnels like I'm looking for. :s
