It may do well if I keep up with squashing beetles on routine checks...the hive was in a tree that fell last year so there was quite a bit of old comb in the tree -- the hive,...

I cut a hive out of a log a few days ago, it was, and is beautiful. I tied up brood and honey into the hive I had made in preparation for this hive. Today I checked on it as the bees had settled in...

Good Day -- I had a removal from a fallen log scheduled for this morning. Usually I wouldn't do it as it is raining but wondered if anyone has done one in the rain. I was thinking of putting an...

and also, if there is a queen cell -- does it generally produce a queen, would a worker ever come out or a drone -- you know, like a dud queen attempt? Obviously there is much I don't know -- I am...

Thank You -- They are in a top bar -- the only one I have -- so swapping frames isn't an option for me at this point. I will wait to see. Thank you I did not know that about the queen's size.

I was checking on the bees today and one of the combs broke away from the bar -- I thought I was being careful, but... What do I do when that happens? If anyone can tell me the bees would appreciate...

Thank you -- that sounds good -- there are plenty of bars and I will let them fill them up and go back and fix the beginners. I appreciate the help.

I am new to this forum, hello everybody. I am also new to beekeeping. I jumped in with two feet, no one to teach me so much but wanting to learn. So I have a few hives going, all done in various...

I just extracted a hive of bees from a tree. A man called me after it had fallen -- asking if I wanted the bees. I am new to bees but welcome the experience. So I did some homework, made a bee...

Thanks -- The tree is already fallen -- I am going to do what you suggested -- Yonah

One other question -- what did you mean by references? Thank You -- Yonah
