Don,

It is not a matter of how much interest is shown about what you have to say, but how eager a few of us are to not lose the experiences and knowledge someone like you has. Please continue to...

To those more knowledgeable.

A large queen laying on 4.9 drawn comb, would she have a lower laying rate due to the difficulty of her entering the cell, and would/could this lead to the queen being...

Oldtimer,

Keep the pictures coming, I sure do enjoy looking at them.

Won't be long before I will be following some of your footsteps over here. My difference will be 4.9 foundation either...

I travel a lot so I have time to listen to various podcast's on my iPod Touch that I have an interest in. One recent podcast I listened to on Bees was rather boring, while others have been useful,...

CB, thanks for your reply, as well as oldtimer and scdw43.

CB: The second question I can see is confusing, and hopefully this will explain it. If you had an 8 frame medium, or what ever you use,...

I have been thinking about the answers to these questions for a while, and thought I would ask for peoples opinion with the hope that it will help me, as well as some other new bee keepers who might...

SHB can fly. It has been mentioned that there is a video where you can see a SHB fly into a hive just as the Beek takes off the hive top. Tangle foot would work for Varroa mite though, although...

I noticed on Woodinvilledave website that it said that the mason bees do not like humid states such as Florida and Missouri, what about TN?

Thanks

Just found this video on artificial insemination. Thought someone would find it interesting. The opening text is in German but the audio is English.

Great question Monkadelic,

Tanglefoot is a glutenous, sticky mixture that you spread around a trunk of a tree to prevent certain pests from climbing up the trunk to attack the leaves, buds limbs...

What would be useful is a program that uses a hand held scanner like an Intermec CN3. Bar code every hive, and enter the information on site, then upload when you get back to the office, or via the...

Welcome Sean,

And thanks for the wonderful pictures. Love the ant in the comb.

ABK,

That is interesting. When I was looking at the weather links I posted I noticed how we tend to have more of a steady average across the months, but OK has some peaks of rain fall.

Thanks...

The reality right now to me is such that TN my own state might be able to support AHB on the grounds of similar climate to OK which already has AHB. Here are two links to the weather web site...

I have these and they work very well. Not cheap, but the bees do not drown. They come up into the hardcloth, and walk down...

Shiredell,

Welcome to the world of bee keeping.

I see you are from Staffordshire, I had relatives from Doxey, Stafford.
