I have found that if I get stung the first thing I do is take my knife and simply scape the stringer off where ever I am stung if it stays in and then I always keep some water near my hive in a spray...

Mine are pretty mature, 3 right behind my barn are about 50-60ft tall and about20-24" straight across their base. I have more like them in my back acreage. But they are staying busy bringing...

I noticed my poplar trees are in bloom behind my barn and my hive is just about 50 feet from the trees but I do not notice a lot of them flying toward the trees. Do the bees get nectar from them as...

there is a Greene county Missouri, maybe that's it.

Sounds good to me. If its going to be cold, it sounds like the bees will be staying in, you could just put one deep on top and let them go up and when it warms a little bit take it off and put it on...

If you were to let them make their own queen seeing as how you are in Ky and the poplar flow will be in a few weeks away, you would miss most of that first flow, you might want to let them go until...

You can also look on Craigslist in your town and just type in bees in the search and there may be beekeepers listed on there looking to get a hive. They are always listed around here, it free and...

I would say if you want some honey, take what you want and if you have too, feed them cheaper sugar water. I would cut back to 3 boxes at the most, you can always check those top two boxes before...

You may want to watch JPthebeeman use his Maxant uncapping tool, $125.00 @ http://www.maxantindustries.com/uncapping.html here is the video on utube and he explains how he discovered adjusting it a...

I use titebond II on frames and screws on my supers, no glue.

Let's face it, even the OP was one persons viewpoint and as has been recorded, there are others who agree and those who disagree. No one knows what the audience thought about it one way or the...

You could just ask them to take the amount they want to use and place it in their microwave for a few seconds and explain to them it doesn't ruin it. I would be trying to figure out why it all...

I could be wrong, but I don't think those are drones. They are smaller and quicker than drones and I would say they are young bees doing their first orientation flight at about 18 days old. This is...

I noticed looking at your forecast that it is going to be in the high 70s for the next five days. I put mine in a plastic tote with a top and put them in my van in direct sunlight and they get very...

I would take that fat frame out and extract it for yourself. If you need to feed a little sugar water to let them finish filling up the second box, fine. What I would do with that one frame is if...

http://www.beeswaxco.com/howBeesMakeWax.htm This site here has an interesting article about how the young bees produce beeswax and is interesting to read. They say this though about the wax...

Maybe they're hooked on those Georgia peaches!:applause:

That's right, get out there early till about noon and you will see them all over it. At least, they do that here.

I would look into the top deep and see how many frames are capped honey and if 5 are full I would pull two and extract the honey and then put those frames back in and they will clean them up and...

Watch them for a little while and see how many are coming and going in and out of those upper entrances and you will know for sure. But I have 1 entrance in the center of each of my supers above the...

I buy from the farmers co-op near me and its a $1.25 a pound or close to that, I can't remember exactly but like the others have said, I sow it heavy and the bees love it. I just do small patches...

That should be easy, wait till they hatch and cut that out, or just cut the honey out and put it back in the hive.

I have a deep and medium I made from cedar and the bees have been in there for the past 5 months and they are doing good.

Do you see fighting at the entrance, I could not see that, it seems more like an orientation flight of young bees. Do you hear that sound from the bees that seems to be louder than normal or just a...

:applause:

Only deep thinkers will see how super it really is! :lookout: and that wasn't one of them.:popcorn:
