Have not gotten an answer to the question.

Hello,

Does anyone use localharvest.org to sell their honey? If so, how are sales going?

For those that live in Ohio, does selling on Localharvest require an Ohio packaging/food processing...

Hello,

The bee club I belong to did moisture testing last night for any members that wanted to have their honey tested. Mine tested at 17.4%.

A refractometer is a good thing to have. I do have one, but it is currently in several bits as it took a nice fall.

Honey was 95-100% capped, closer to 100%. I think things went well, just worried...

Hello,

It has been raining for the last couple of days. My plan was to pull honey supers this weekend and extract.

I have access to a garage that will have a dehumidifier running.

Will it be...

I would say that it is regulated because it is a chemical used inside the beehive with the potential to contaminate honey (a pure food consumed by humans).

My order has now been completed. I arrived home a several minutes ago to find a package on the porch. Inside was my daughters bee suit. I would say they just got a supply of suits in.

I ordered a suit for myself and one for my daughter. I placed my order on 4-23-2012. My suit did not ship until 6-8-2012. I have been told as of last week (7-26) my daughter's suit is back ordered...

Hello,

I got a call today about a house in Lima, Ohio that has bees in a second story wall. The home is located on West Market Street. Send me a pm for more information. The home is currently not...

I just got a Maxant 3100H. The frames fit well, but are a tight fit. Any blob of propolis on the frames can make it a bit difficult to get the frame to seat properly into the bottom of the extractor.

Just a reminder: Honey is sold by weight, not volume. There is a difference between ounces and fluid ounces.

When I first bought my hat and veil I read as much as I could about what people liked. I passed on the fencing veil because the bees could sit right on your head and sting through the top.

Fast...

The brushy mountain 9 frame radial looks to be very nice as well. I did look at it, but the Made in U.S.A of the Maxant 3100H did pull my towards it. I believe the 9 frame from Brushy Mountain is...

The Dadant Ranger can do 6 frames radially or 3 deeps tangentially with an optional basket. The Ranger costs 505.70 plus an additional $86.40 for the optional tangential basket insert. I do not know...

Well, after a long debate, I ordered the Maxant 3100H. I was going to go with a small 2 or 3 frame unit, but with my new plans on having more hives than I currently do, I would have been extracting...

I have always been happy with his service. Email sometimes was slow, but that probably depended on the number of emails before me. He is the Vice President of the North West Ohio Beekeepers...

It is always nice to have someone call you about getting some bees, then they decide to chase them off or spray them before you get there. The bees probably left after he started the fire.

Freeze the frames for 48 hours. The first split I attempted was slimmed the day before a new queen was to emerge. I froze the frames and gave them to a strong hive to clean up. If the frames are...

Do they have enough food? I had a hive dump brood when their food supply dwindled.

Any updates on getting your order?

Tim at Honey Run Apiaries in Delphos, Ohio. Excellent quality queens. I have purchased from him the last two years.

The only issue I really have had is with the bottom bar splintering if I use a 1/4 staple to hold it down. The staple is just not wide enough to span the gap in the bottom bar. The splintering does...
