Has Bolling Bee completely folded? I've sent three emails and left three messages since November.

I'd like to find a source for Grey Caucasian Stock. Anyone have recommendations?

Bob, JJ & Dr. R -

Thanks. You guys hit the nail on the head. I've have four hives to check for queen cells and then on the cleaning the fogger.

Thanks again -

Martin

Guys -

I really like Bolling Bee when Bill was still the owner. I had a tough time getting a hold of Mr. Livings last year to order a package and then to have him send a replacement queen on a...

Folks -

After inspecting several hives today, I intended to start this years round of FGMO treatments.... To my surprize, my Fogger seems to be clogged.... Has anyone else had this experiance. ...

I'm going into my third year of small cell regression this Spring. After my first year transition to small cell foundation, I have rotated three frames out each Spring with new foundation as both a...

I have two hives of Grays from Bolling Bee Farm. They are strong & healthy, but as the guys pointed out they are not the most mild mannered bees. I have 8 other hives - Russian, NWC and Feral...

Dr. R & Friends -

I just completed my midsummer mite drop test on my eight hives. The count goes as follows: 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 5 & 8. This is the second year that I have followed the fogging...

I will probably just add the comb supers to the hives. If I do decide to do a shake down, I will install a 3lb package in the other brood box. - Martin

If I am using the broodframes in conjunction with setting up a new hive/3 lb package, I shake all the bees off and install the package on the broodframes.

If I am just bolstering up a weak colony,...

I have used this method now for two years and it works great. I normally take one to two frames from a hive to help thin it out and to introduce new foundation to draw. I normally have 4-6 frames...

I am getting ready to super the last of my hives this weekend. I have save my two most robust hives for comb honey. My question is, based on your personal experiance, would you recommend shaking...

I have two packages coming in April - plan on spraying the bees while they are still in their cage in the morning before setting them into their hives in the late afternoon.

Martin

Thanks Michael. That was pretty much my plan 3-4 days. The only place I could find a suggested time was in Beekeeping for Dummies. There is no guidance given in terms of time on the label of the...

Michael -

The supers are clean and dry. I am just wondering about the length of time I need to leave them open and airing before putting them back to use.

Martin

Hi -

I have a stack of supers from last year which have been stored in a cool, dry place and with paramoth crystles. How long do I need to air them and in what type of conditions before I place...

I just saw where you live - you're only 40 minutes south of BG.

One of the things that I do is to keep one colony reserved for cell building. Their only job to do for the year is to draw out comb for a new colony, to replace old foundation in other colonies,...

I used to use burlap scraps and have transitioned over to cedar chips (pet bedding) Works really well. I normally only smoke when I close things up. This is only done if placing the inner cover...
