I live in a neighborhood with plenty of gardens, flowers, and trees. I also live 1/2 mile from the Wasatch mountain range, so there is plenty of forage. My mentor lives in the same neighborhood. He...

There is a local supplier in Spanish Fork, UT called Abeez Honey that sells local nucs. Any one have any experience with them?

As far as the TBH is concerned, I have been told and read that a TBH...

I appreciate the good advice! To answer your questions:
1. Yes, I did feed the kites a simple sugar solution and there has been a nectar flow most of the summer.
2. No, I did not use a screened...

Here is my experience so far this year. Bought 2 traditional hives and stocked them with package bees. I also bought a TBH and stocked it with a...

I had a frame collapse today, partly because of heat and partly because of some burr comb that the bees attached to another frame, so when I went to pull the frame the comb went to the bottom of the...

No gap between the bars. They are going in and out of the entrance. I affixed a queen excluder to the entrance and then brushed all the bees into the hive. I think I got the queen because they seem...

I just took a look. All of the bees are now on the inside cover of my TBH. I set up an empty Lang nearby with a feeder and swarm attractant. Anything else that I should be doing?

I installed a large swarm in my first TBH yesterday. The swarm was 6-8 LBS. I am a newbie with 2 Lang hives. The install on the TBH was a nightmare because my baggy feeder leaked all over the place....

I just started with 2 hives in my backyard. First hive died off, so I replaced it with a swarm. I discovered a laying worker in the second hive, pulled out the drone comb, dumped the bees on the...
