I am hoping for one, however, she must have been already in the making (supercedure or swarm{I doubt swarm}) before I killed the marked queen as she couldn't have hatched yet. I accidentally killed...
No experience, but have seen pics of same on this forum I think, probably 50 or more in one frame so no probs if you keep the food and bees up to them....
There are many swarm call lists around the country already, different things work in different places, I doubt a national register will work, but if you want to do it go for it. It has to be broken...
It was 11 am downunder! Bad luck,they tore down all 5 cells, not even any sign of where they were, they were due to hatch in 24 to 48 hours, checked my calendar. Didn't see a virgin queen, no egss,...
Am about to go to my hive and cut up emergency queen cells and place in queen cages to emerge, will this work?
There are about 5 emergency cells and I want to replace the queens in a couple of other...
I've caught a few swarms recently (Downunder) and haven't had enough boxes, as well as some were very small, so I smoked both boxes and tipped them all into one and it appears to have worked, don't...
I'd be happy for a copy as well, I hope to take an observation hive into my duughters class soon.
I regularly killed 70 SHB in my hive, it was in shade, I relocated it 4 miles in direct sun and now see 10, as well as have a trap under the hive now. I think the sun has helped a lot, so has the...
China probably uses so many pesticides the bees can't survive.
ABout 8 mirco litresl if I read correctly

I'm a newbee, 3rd time grafting today, first time priming cells with royal jelly from swarm cells (kept in freezer).
For me at least, it made the transfer of larva very easy in comparison to doing...
I'm a newbee, 1 have 1 hive, and I purchased 10 grafting tools from China for $8 and made my own queen cups by dipping a piece of dowel in some wax. I have 3 cells about to hatch tomorrow. Cheap as...
I'd bee happy to use your software if it's free, (only one hiv, now splitting) and I would like a standalone program, not a web based one.
Anybody know what the bees will do if 2 larva are in one cell.
Will they throw out the youngest or the oldest, or both etc.
Reason I ask, (don't knock it, just trying to learn), if you grafted 2...
Is it possible to modify the sig line so that "number of hives" has a place at the top of the post so that the question doesn't have to be asked all the time?
This would also allow the reader to get...
Fortunately my current bees are docile and happy, every second day approx, I stand next to the hive, out of the flight path, but have my face down with glasses on, (no protection, normal clothes)...
Mmmmmm, I suppose I don't eat enough honey!
I have only 1 hive which I extracted 40+ lbs from last summer,(a very wet autumn and no capped honey) plenty for me and friends. Winter now downunder, I...
So if that's the case, what you are doing is making to nuc hives 3 deep. Seems like a lot of trouble compared to running 2 separate hives 1 or 2 deep? The taller the stack the greater temperature...
Well ain't that just dandy!
Everyone should have some in the cupboard. And so healthy!
Question from a relatively newbee, how many hives do you have, why do guys feed so much sugar?
Is it not possible to leave the bees with enough honey to get them thru winter and other conditions?
Lucky lucky you! With such a big nest, as a relatively new beek, I would split the brood and eggs into three and make up three new hives and let the bees make a new queen in 2 of the new hives. This...
Nice pic, is that three separate swarms with 3 queens?
I understand mite control, but after writing the first 4 statements?
That comb is so YELLOW.
