I always have a problem with robbers when I remove mine all they way, you may not.

I got some from beech mountain bees.

I think pigeon mountain trading is, the weather this year has been awful.

It's new to me to Rader, I have heard of honey B healthy and amino B but not vitamin B healthy. Gees something else to sell.

You can stack as high as you want. I have two or three a hive, when they fill one I let the caps suck in a little and extract it and put it back on. It is a lot less equipment to store. Some like...

I have the mann lake 6/3 I am happy with it. I have used the brushy side crank 2/4. I like the top crank better and the basket on the mann lake. It's a preference between the two. People push maxxant...

Vitamin B healthy threw me off also. I just went to thier website it says, you can mix all three. I have used honey b healthy but not the other two. They will suck the syrup down with Honey B...

I doubt they built the frames out in a week, when you have seven full and three empty put on the next box. It won't hurt anything to take a look, just make sure you don't squish the queen. They...

Stevedc Beech mountain bees still has Queens avalable thier in NC. There is a guy that has a little shop over in Pageland, Dixxie bee supply check with them they might.

They are nurse bees, they do that on purpose they feed her and take car of her.

OK its on like the fourth page, It says This years ODFRANK swarm trap 2013 model #1. I would do a link but I am not that computor savy.

Talk to ODD Frank. He has some pictures of his deep swarm traps, he is the king of swarms. Look under swarms trapout header, you will find something like Olle Odd franks annual swarm competition.

As for inspections it depends on who you talk to. When I am starting one up I keep an eye on it until it gets built up well. I don't pull every frame out just one or two to see what the pattern is...

If your customers like plastic, they are buying, giv them what they want and keep them coming back. Make a few glass jars for yourself. You can take the plastic and put them in warm water for...

In your situation I would put the one she is laying in on the bottom and the deep in second to try to get her to lay in the deep. If she does move up to the deep, then move it back to the bottom and...

I am sure we know some of the same people, small world. My dad runs Arcade Barber shop there.

Yeah, I would think that would make the sticky board useless also. I was talking about a sugar shake treatment, some do it to monitor. I have never done it personaly, some people use a bellows and...

Either type of oil will work they drown in it. No don't mix water just straight oil, some people mix a drop of apple cider in the oil to help attract them. Don't spill the oil on the frame or bees it...

I would if I was up that way. I grew up in Hartsville my dad and brother still live there so I am up there every now and again.

I would take the queen out for 24 hours let them realize they are queenless. Then put the new one in and pop the cork on the candy side let them try to eat her out. If they don't get her out on the...

I would rotate the frames in the bottom box, but don't touch the brood frames, that usualy gets them to finish filling them out. As for the queen cells are they capped is there any jelly in them?...

I think you need one, not necessarily for the honey but it is a valuable tool as LaFerny said. I have a couple I don't use them for honey, you won't get as much. If brood get in my honey supers I...

Cleo Hogan is right, I run two deeps also. They have plenty of laying room and build up quick in the spring. More frames to pull from for splits or to help a weak hive. A lot of commercial guys run...

Also if it is new foundation they will not fill the end frames out until last. take the top box of wait until they have filled out all but 3, then put your next box on. If they get to crowded they...

You say width, do you mean 1/3 from top to bottom or 1/3 from side to side? A lot of people put a strip across the top, the bees usualy build it out straight. But they have a mind of their own they...
