Maybe you could have taken a bar of brood from the strong hive and put it in the slow hive to see if that would stimulate the bees into action.

A little rain won't Kill 'em. If it got heavy on the brood then their might me some brood death but with it being hot I don't think it will hurt them that much.

Check your PM's.

I have found that beetle traps do attract more beetles to your property. I once got a great buy on "Milky Spore" and gave it to my neighbors. I have had many less beetles since doing this. I still...

Thanks. If someone comes across one I'd like to at least have a xerox of it. I'll keep checking ebay but those are being bid on by collectors and get very expensive sometimes.

Does anyone have one or have access to one? I am interested in finding out the requirements from their old books.

Thanks

Without digging through and actually laying eyes on the queen, its hard to guess at this point.

1. Could be natural for this year.

2. Queen could be out of eggs.

If you find the queen...

The old 3 feet or 3 miles rule is not set in stone.

Typically you should always move the hives at night after all the bees are in.

If you have to move a hive say 20 feet or so they will tend...

You got his email? I've been searching for it to tell him it is still a problem but cant find it.

Watching the show... he don't know what kind of bees they are either. Sort of a doofus. Some of the stuff he does on the show is totally RETARDED. But I guess it pays his bills.

:doh:

Don't know about "Glue" per say... look into some latex type caulk or possibly using some of the new construction adhesives maybe.

But way not use tack strips around the window with a bit of latex...

I'm lucky enough to have a couple of places where I can temporarily place a hive for a couple of days if I need to move them. If you don't and have to move a hive then try the other way. I would be...

Move it at least 3 miles for a couple of days then move it to where you want it. I learned that a mile is not enough distance. Had to move the hive back to get all the bees back in.

:doh:

You could simply paint a red circle above one enterance and a green square about the other enterance. You can do this at night.

The bees will recognize the difference between the two hives or...

I know this is an old post but I just ordered some top feeders from them. They were shipped and delivered the next day. Good Job!:thumbsup:

Just got stung in my right hand between the thumb and index finger (meat part). Hand is still slightly swollen but the other stings I received are just itchy. Dont know why... Maybe its just the...

Tim,

Keep you eyes on GovDeals.com. It is the new way city/state/fed gov sells stuff these days. Its sort of a government Ebay type thing. Right now there are 5 fork lifts for sale there 4 in...

I live in North Carolina.... Pine needles... we have some much of the stuff they bail it up and send to other states. :D

Any news to report on the effects?

Most documentation I had say "24 to 48" hours. Then they box them, add the moth crystals and wrap them in plastic. Then you air them for about 72 hours before you use them in the spring.

I...

Old carpet trick works well... If you want to go the full "Organic" way you chould layer news papers to make the carpet and (5 to 8 sheets thick) then some mulch on top to hold it in place. Black...

I would think that it is really late for them to swarm. If they were going to swarm it should have been before now. But stranger things have happened.

What did you figure out?

Have any of you guys with SHB problems tried cinnamon to repell them? There was a thread on here a couple of days ago about some trying it. I'd be interested to know if sprinkling cinnamon along...

I built a variant with 3 5-gallon buckets. Sacrificed 1 buck to add as a spacer for the top bucket. used the bottom bucket as an air plenum. Worked well. I also used smooth hose and had little...
