I live in PA and my ob hive wintered just fine!It has three deep and one medium frame. The cluster was small and is growing quite nicely now that it has warmed up a bit finally.
There is Draperbee in Northern PA

Thanks for the great advice to a newbee homebrewer!
The honey I started with was exceptionally dark.I did boil some cinnamon sticks and add to the batch when I started.

Does anyone have a pic of a nearly finished mead in the carboy. My mead is kind of a caramel color. Is this the normal color?

Won't yeasts feed on dead yeasts on the bottom if not racked off of the lees??
No expert,I'm a newbee asking a question.

Did you place your order by 12/20? I believe that was the cut off date for free shipping and I think you had to use a code like ABJ or something to get the free shipping.
Anybody here try a pollen patty and Terrarium heater at the bottom of the hive after the first cleansing flight in spring?
I read this will stimulate early brood rearing to have a strong colony for...
I guess if you don't want opinions you shouldn't post the question on a forum board.

I see you used photobucket to post the thread.The website only sees the link and phototbucket actually loads the picture to your computer.The photo is not actually on beesource.

Are you sure theres not a candy plug behind the cork?I don't think they will chew the cork out.When i removed the cork from the queen cage I made a hole with a small nail through the sugar plug to...
What do you mean by "unpack"
bees should be able to take zero temps as long as they have ventilation to keep condensation from the hive and adequate food stores.
The moisture is more than likely condensation on the cold exterior parts on the motor that don't heat up properly in short runs in these cold days in Pa.
I see it on a lot of cars this time of...
For those of you posting pics with photobucket they also will host video clips. I don't think a full length movie or anything but a short is often all you need any how! Have a good day everybody!...
Draper Bees is in Millerton just a little ways off of Rt 15.It's closer and a phone call would have everything out when you get there if you wanted.They are also open on Saturdays if that is a...
For the uninformed,the avatars can be disabled at the beemaster sight also. I don't think the best feature of your own sight is to bash the other when I know a lot of people read and post to both...
Has any body seen Aunt Bee from Mayberry?
I think thats what they called her.
The beetle traps are a two edged sword. Although they attract beetles to the bag with a pheremone they also atrract beetles from a farther distance than they might otherwise travel and they don't all...

They are near Lawrenceville just south of the NY border. Thay are a very helpful family oriented business and reasonably priced.
I was at the Farm show in January and picked up some literature at the beekeeping display for cold winter reading. After getting my curiousity aroused it was off to the library for more books.
