Green in the heartwood of Popular is natural, lots of time when we saw it green or fresh cut, it will be blue but that leaves as it dries. I got worried about the pt wood some time ago. The only...

I got a year old hive that I think has swarmed at least once a week for the last 3 weeks. Is this possible? I thought they had room, but I guess not. I put a super on yesterday after I caught the 3rd...

P.S. I used bens brewcat recipe to start.

I used this this recipe, I let it set for almost 2 years, thought I had lost it as the airlock dried out. I filled the lock back up let it set for a couple more months and was sure I had honey...

You have helped me.

I got my first sting in my golden bee suit, bent over to pick up my hive tool, one got me on the back- Not my fault. I left a little crack between my suit and glove, one got me, but not til he got...

I pulled some supers off some deep brood boxes. I was extracting the honey and found several of the frames had capped brood, maybe 10% on each side. I didn't uncap them when I put the frames in my 4...

I'v had good luck with a soldering iron. You have to get your speed right or you'll burn a hole in the foundation. I had very little success with an embedder.

I bought a commercial embedder, never could get it to work right. I got to thinking you sould be able to do this with a soldering gun. It was a little tricky at first, you have to learn the correct...

My gloves I got with my Golden Bee suit worked well, for a while. Then they split in a couple of places and I always have trouble getting my hands in the liners. I've never had a sting thru the...

This answers the question on how I probably lost a colony. I had a late swarm come out, about the last of July 1st week in Aug. I thought they were going good. I extracted a couple of supers and...

I've got a B-20 timberking, the loaders are nice, but there is still a lot of backbreaking work to a sawmill. I sawed 3 days last week sawing out a barn pattern. 18ft 6x6s are hard to do anything...

We sell a lot on Ebay, have tried to file a claime or 2 for damage goods. We generally get the same answer, "it wasn't packed properly". I worked for ups in my early days, I never had a chance to...

I had a late swarm come out about the last week of July and I thought they were building up. I never noticed any moths 2-3 weeks ago when I checked them. I checked them yesterday and wax moths had...

I play fiddle and mandolin. Currently playing fiddle with the Dark Ridge Band and Clinch Valley Bluegrass.

A farm worker found a swarm going into a hole in the base of a large oak tree. I don't know where they came from, possibly off one of my 7 hives. 08/30/2007

I bought 3 nukes in late may, put them in all mediums. I got one from a fellow in Clinton, Tn, it's done real well, almost 4 mediums of honey. I got 2 from Georgia, real gental Bees. One has almost...

I was by one of my hives yesterday and in about 5 minutes time, I saw the girls drag 2 drones out and put them on the ground. I saw this last year but cold weather was approaching. Do they kick the...

Try raising your hive, this will help with a skunk, they can't climb as well as a coon. I have all my hives at least 18 inches off the ground.

Yes I did notice the old super had some crystalized cells. It was the temperature, I sat a jar outside and it went back to honey-newbees learn. Thanks

Thanks Dan, I never thought of that, I did extract it in my basemaent, and stored it there also. It's probably 68 degrees in there. I'll take a jar outside and see what it looks like.

I extracted my first honey about 2-3 weeks ago. I extracted a fresh capped super and a super that was left for stores last year and was a little dark. I filtered it with the 200-600 micron filters...

This is my first time at extraction, how long do you spin the extractor? I have a 4 frame manual dadant. In other words how do I know I'm done.
Another question, I had a swarm come out last Sunday,...

A friend of mine that has bees, wife has the same problem. She thinks they are attracted to the smell of hair spray. My opinion is you smell too sweet--compliment. I don't have that problem, cause I...

Thanks, I'm going to try and extract it, though I have never done this before. I can always learn from any failures I have. Appreciate you guys help.
