Hey Andy,

Some will tell you to just cut the log open, cut out the brood, and rubberband it into frames and move them into a hive. That probably will work and be faster, but let me tell you what...

I so far am holding on to the 2 I went into winter with. Although one of them seems to be pretty darn weak. I can't get down into the area they are actually clustered in because I have some...

I watched this episode of the apprentice. I have to say for the most part I was disappointed. It is a amazing how uninformed people are. I was also suprised that it didn't appear that they gave...

IndianaHoney have you considered taking some of your empty combs and manually filling them with a spray bottle with syrup??? You can fill them up and then place them right up against the cluster. ...

Sundance, Et all....

I don't know anything about almond pollination, but here is what I believe is some good General wisdom/ advice. Prepare for the worst, Hope for the best. and try not to "What...

So Onelove are you saying that Michael Chriton used "Fictional" data in his book and therefore any of the conclusions made in the book are wrong? If a person takes a longer view on things and...

Anyone who wants a balanced view on "Global Warming" should read the book "State of Fear" by Michael Criton. However you spell his last name.

Just remember you don't want to give mice a nice cozy home right next to your hives. so be careful with the straw or hay.

Both of my hives have had 2 OA treatments (with crack pipe) so I guess they will be good to go for winter now as far as MITES are concerned. I tore my first hive down to 2 deeps from 3 deeps a...

I have some nice pictures of the OA pipe that I built following George Ferguson's instructions. I have posted his pictures on my website.

I have even used a sprayer like you might buy to mist plants or spray water on while sunbathing. You get them in the beauty section at walmart. I have found that I can get it to spray a fine mist...

YOU see global warming is good for something. LOL NOT. Not that I believe in Human caused global warming. I believe that the earth's climate changes over the centuries and would do that if every...

Well since I live in the Meth Capital of the Meth capital of the Meth Capital. I would say meth labs also. Oh the Misery of Missouri

I've been smelling a strong, (what I thought) was dog feces smell from my back yard. 2 beehives tons of GR around. I have a couple dogs, I just thought it was building up, but I guess it could be...

Not to mention, don't the Small Hive beattles like the grease patties???? I thought I had read that somewhere

My hives are stinking also. It's so funny to me that I can go up to a Golden Rod flower and smell the blossoms and love the smell, but after the bees bring it back it has a sorta sour smell....

I wouldn't be so hasty to combine these hives. If they are both bursting at the seems with bees and honey, then you probably have queens in both of them they just aren't laying. I'm thinking the...

The best cleaner/degreaser on the market that I know IMHO is Greased LIghtning. You can buy it at Lowes in a sprayer or gallon jugs. Good Luck

I used Bee Quick and the bees did just POUR out of the hive. I think I brought 5 or 10 bees into the house with me. As I mentioned in another forum, I will try using a hair dryer to heat the metal...

Speaking of Wax Moths. What a disappointment. I had left my filter with my wax from crushing and straining hanging in the bucket with the honey I extracted. I was processing some wax monday and...

I wish I had 2 1/2 gallons of honey :(

I haven't had any luck with the Hairy vetch. I don't know if I'm expecting too much out of it, but it hasn't survived the hot summers here with out being babied. I have gotten some to survive and...

When I wintered a weak hive on top of a strong hive I put their entrances pointing different directions. Bottom hive on the bottom front. Top entrance back. Seemed to let the moisture flow out. ...

but if you were tom sawyer they would pay you for the priveledge of learning on your equiptment and frames. and then you'd also get to keep the honey. smile.gif

I know this would probably only work on a small scale, but couldn't you use a hair dryer to warm the top of the fumeboard??? I think I'll try it if it clears up enough over the weekend to try and...
