Weather messed up my splits and I have 3 splits that didn't raise a queen. Prefer vsh but at this point any will do.

Do you have problems with rain getting in the hive with a top entrance like you have in the pic?

Got to work today and there was a swarm of bees in the front yard of the plant. Manager said I could get them so I had my wife bring me a 10 frame deep hive and som frames of partially drawn...

Looking for about 20 lbs of orange blossom honey. Would need it shipped to
Louisiana.

As we speak, even more tomorrow, them clear by Monday,

I here people doing fall splits, but can you do a walkaway split this time of year? I seem to have a good many drones still around.

Anyone know when the fall flow starts in north Louisiana?

Will wired foundation without hooks work in split bottom frames? Decided I would take advantage of the free shipping from Mann lake and ordered some med frames with split bottoms and 25lbs of...

I was replying to the previous post you made about what you are calling organic. No one is judging you from their console so take it easy. The topic was brought up a couple of nights ago at our bee...

I believe to be organic the bees have to be a certain distance from any roads, no access to crops that have been fertilized with chemicals or have had pesticides used on them.

I don't think you...

[QUOTE=BEES4U;697641]Are you refering to Karo corn syrup?
What you need is a copy of the chemist data sheet for the batch.
HFCS that has been over heated will contain hydroxymethylfurfural.

He said it is diffrent colors at diffrent times. It is used to make a syrup called moonshine. A real light table syrup. Some batched are lighter and some darker. Taste is the same though.

A friend of mine has a syrup co. He gets regular corn syrup by the tanker loads. It is used toake other table syrups. It is a very thick, light amber color. It's alot cheaper than sugar right now...

Has anyone used this as feed? I am not talking about high fructose corn syrup, just regular pure corn syrup. I have some I mixed 1:1 with water to make it thin enough to pour. I open fed today and...

Is anyone trying to get the USDA to allow flipronil to be used in hives under an emergency status?

"SunKist are the line that my father (JN Russell) has spent his entire life perfecting. They are of Italian origin, and have been selectively bred since 1951 for heavy laying, low swarming,*honey...

How will you know if they are all sunkist in the hive? The Sunkist queens produce several different color bees.

I saw the video where the fat beeman used fishing line and made an x on both sides with it. My question is can you use fishing line, and wire them like you would with wire?

Absolutely! I havent slept a full night since I found them. Lol
Just seems like alot of wasted space when some of the combs are only 2/3 of the frame size.

I have some frames that where in a split, that a guy gave to me, that the comb isn't drawn all the way in the corners. It's old dark comb, but still soft. Will they finish it out or should I rotate...

I have pulled with a gooseneck quite a bit. If you are pulling in the mountains then you will have to down shift to a lower gear than you climbed the mountain in, to maintain control. Make sure you...

Do they seem to last longer?

Why does everyone use ponderosa or white pine for hive bodies instead of yellow pine? Wouldn't the denser yellow pine last longer?

I had a few beetles in a hive, so I put in some cd traps and got rid of them, I thought. Week later I had hundreds of larva feasting on my honey combs. I caught it that night and pulled the queen,...

I was just wondering what bees get from peas and beans? I have about 1/2 acre of purple hull peas and zipper peas that are flowering. The bees are covering them pretty well, so are they getting...
