I too am having issues with Dansk Farms. Having to ship late because of weather issues is understandable, but when they won't respond to phone or email after several attempts I am assuming at this...

Frames of brood with bees within 2 hrs. drive of Nashville, Tn.
Just curious, what didn't you like about the sideliner, I've been interested in one of these units but havn't seen one or known anyone that has used one. - Thanks.
Any problem with the gel coming in contact with the frames? I'm told to use shims to avoid this. Would the wood soak up the gel enough to cause any issue?
Using Apiguard for the first time on story and a half hives, most of which still have a little brood in the medium and temps in the low 80's. Would placement under the inner cover be sufficiant,...

I was at Kellys' on Saturday when the catalogs arrived from the printer. Should be in the mail soon.
Anyone use this and what are your thoughts? Is painting needed if this is used and how do the bees tolerate it? Thanks for any comments.
Just how messy is a chain uncapper and which one do you prefer? What is the most efficiant way to filter the honey after being pumped out of the sump, since it will contain more wax than when using...
Sounds as if it may be Japanese Bamboo.When I kept bees in W.Penna. I got great crops in the fall. It tends to be very dark with a red tinge to it and a very unique taste, definitley a specialty.It...
Thanks for your reply's,after some thought and too much procrastination I will probably start using 4.9 plastic as Dee states , it can be scraped clean and used again for a second regression.

I currently am using Pierco deep foundation in my brood boxes, but I run 1 1/2 brood chambers, 1 deep and 1 medium. My question is ,does anyone make a medium foundation in plastic with the same cell...
