I suspect your hive is about to swarm, I noticed boarding on one of my hives last week, two days later it swarmed. Thankfully I captured it.

Looked in on my hives today,lots of drones are already in the hives, also saw lots of drone brood on outer frames, should I start freezing outer frames of drone frames this early?

I am in Ga also, I went in Thursday ,lots of bee's were out flying. I just opened the top and checked honey stores mostly,saw some brood,lots of bee's and noticed the queen in three hives in the top...

Now this is the kind of thing I like to see and hear about. Someone offering to teach and show how. Great job, I wish you were near me. I learn much better doing than reading about it.

I have tried brushing, but if you have more than a couple of supers it can be time consuming. fume board works great, with very few bee's left to brush off, try it you will never go back to just...

Dan, as I respect your opinion n knowledge , Do you suggest solid bottom boards in our Ga locations?

We also have a bee club in Oglethorpe county, we meet once per month, be glad to have you come and visit, joining is purely up to you.meeting is held at farm bureau in Crawford Ga

[QUOTE=G Barnett;857096]Someone told me that being treatment free is only just a feel good thing. So why would anyone really want to go treatment free?

Why do you need to place frames in a trash bag before freezing?

I've gal paint strainer from Lowes

If they are free how can you loose, I would look at the bee's, if they are healthy, take them. If not healthy take them . You don't have any bee's to worry about spreading unwanted pest to. How can...

If you work in meat dept use jet spray or whatever brand in food safe oil you use on your equipment at work, no food safety issues also sanitized used in dept for rinsing.

I do not think cranking is that big a deal either,I like the extractor recommended. If you are just working as a hobby, 10 hives , removing once or twice a year I would rather have a extractor with...

Great job, It's obvious you are hooked on bee's. With people of your knowledge teaching new bee keepers, they are way ahead of most beginners. I hope to take some classes next spring

If we treated ourselves like our bee's would we still be here. I would not, when I had a heart attach I went to the doctor, I don't understand why we do not let the doctor treat our bee's when they...

Hello, I have a question , my beehives are being overran by yellow jackets, I had thought they had a nest in the ground in front of my hive but after digging and screeching around I decided not. Some...

I like an electric knife better than an uncapping knife, whatever works for you, try whichever you have if not happy with it order the other

Was in Montana last week, everywhere I went I saw pallets of bee hives, I was near Yellowstone and surrounding area. Honey production must be BIG in that area.

HELLO Athens I'm just outside Athens, I have drapes and sunflower also have not seen a bee on sunflowers yet, drapes just starting to bloom.
