Yeah Adam, I'm not sure. I was thinking about switching to all 8 frame mediums for the size, weight and everything I have read about 8 vs 10 it just sounds like it might have an advantage. But, I had...

What if you are wanting to get into pollination, do most growers, brokers or whoever else, require 10's or are 8's becoming more acceptable?

I was at a seminar a couple years ago and the speaker prefered rough sawn wood becaus it encouraged the bees to apply more propolis, and since propolis is an antibacterial the more the merrier for a...

Great video and simple set up!

I have to agree with stoffel64, no gloves around rotory equipment!

Hey Lindsksq, its nice to see someone on here from this neck of the woods...

Hey, thanks for all the input, I appreciate it! I have another question, if you are to feed patties, how early do you start? I have a feeling from some of the articles I have read and some of the...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but this is only my 2nd year. I have read that feeding patties in the spring helps with spring brood build up. If my bees are bringing in pollen by the bucket loads is...

Thanks for the responses. I get The American Bee Journal, I will look around.
