hived two packages to night, from Don, and both cans where about empty.

I try to buy state side when possible. But I have a hard time doing that when it cost more than twice the money for the same quality. I paid less than $160 for two 100lbs cap. tanks with handles on...

I bought one from propolisis on ebay 3 years ago, holds 100 lbs . The brand is OBS short for Orient Bee Supply, they are imported from China? The quality is good , just don't get in a bidding war...

Welcome from SW Michigan. I have read post from another forum not use a lot, unlike this one, that has a beek that lives in Chugiak, Alaska and he has over winter bees with some success. P.M. me and...

"# 4 had no bees flying, alot of dead bees behind the entrance reducer. Maybe two or three handfull of bees, but peeked under the lid and could see some movement through the inner cover is this...

Close up the bottom entrance so no mouse moves in. Put a brick, rock or something heavy on the top to keep it from blowing over.

I use two 1/4 inch crown staples with 1 3/8 legs in each corner on my frames and tight bond II glue have not had a failure yet, three years 2000 frames and growing. :applause:

I have two hives with VSH queens that are daughters from a Glenn's breeder queen. Both hives doing well. But winter is not over yet :shhhh:

I believe some call that chunk honey when done that way. Although I have never done any that way, all I have seen done that way was left capped. I don't know if wax moth eggs if present will hatch...

Leave it capped, or it will leak out of the comb over time. After cutting into pieces let the pieces drain off the honey from the broken cells, or just put in containers. Put into containers and put...
