These people - Russell - have more excuses than can be counted. They have more destructive weather than anyone I have ever heard of, and I live in MS. A well respected member of the beekeeping...

Anyone got any ideas on how to extract the honey from a cutout? Should I just go ahead and let my other hives clean up the old comb that I didn't save?

I have a swarm on a fence post made from a railroad crosstie. Yesterday I went down there and put an 8 frame box on the fence butted up next to the post with a frame of brood and honey inside the...

Ultrabreeze - best by far. I have the jacket and have never been stung through it.

Got a call today about a swarm. I am just getting into beekeeping and have read bunches here and other places on the net, but HAD no bees...until today. So, I had this 5 frame nuc box that I was...

Ted, did you have it kiln dried? I have found the air dried stuff just isn't quite up to par with the kiln dried.

Voted. Looks like you have a mountain to overcome, though.

I had the same thing. Hive not set up yet. Frames and foundation in open box. Bees all over it.

Good morning. I a new-bee from Northeast Mississippi, just outside Amory. I'm a retired Mississippi State Extension worker living on 10 acres. Planning on doing a little hobby farming and selling...
