Yes, both my hives currently use this inner cover. Overall, I like it, but I do find that one of my hives really likes to propolize the top entrance closed, so I usually just put duct tape over it...

You can buy rolls of aluminum flashing at your local hardware store (or Lowes, Home Depot, etc). The aluminum is thin enough that you can cut it by scoring it with a utility knife, but thick enough...

Hi Bill,

As one of the other posters suggested, you could get a package of bees from Rick at New England Beekeeping Supplies in Tyngsboro, MA (nebees.com).

Another option is Ben Chadwick from...

Wow, nice carpentry work! That looks like some good quality wood too - almost knot free!!

I'm near Exeter, NH and I'm probably going to wait until it's a little warmer (60's during the day) before I throw the feeders on. It's only my second year, so I'm not one to be giving advice though!

My wife and I opened up the hive just after noon today, and fortunately everything looks ok to me, meaning there were no loose pieces of foundation in the hive.

The bees had built a little burr...

Yes. I'm keeping the feeder full and I added 2.5 gallons on Saturday with some Honey-B-Healthy mixed in.

Based on the suggestions, I think I'll take a quick peek today just to make sure that...

I received my first package of bees on April 14th (one week ago today). I started them in a 10 frame medium super with wired small cell wax foundation. They appeared to be getting a good start and...

Thank you all for your great comments.

I like your suggestion Michael for adding one frame at a time of small cell foundation into the brood nest. What should I do with the rest of the space in...

Hello everyone. I've been reading this site for some time now and am very impressed with the wealth of knowledge that is shared so generously.

I'm planning to be a new beekeeper this year - I'm...
