i have used them for ventilation (it gets really hot here). I made mine the size of wine corks so I can plug them up easily for the winter.

@John C--I like that too.
If you make shirts, please offer some girlie-style shirts too! (not the design, but the cut of the shirt)

If there is a LOT of capped drone brood, and enough bees to cover them, I say split before they swarm. I don't know about where you are, but Spring came on like a freight train here and our bees got...

THat sounds easy--I'll set it up tomorrow for the bees.

I couldn't figure out how to post a pic, so here's a link to my Flickr site. It is the first 2 pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/catdance62

I bought this acrylic uncapping box/tray thing and just used it for the first time. I uncapped a couple of frames that i removed to replace with drone foundation farmes. I didn't get much wax (or...

I AM thinking about those!

it is supposed to turn cold here again in a couple days, but it won't stay cold. Our weather is always like a roller-coaster from Feb,-April. Plants start blooming in February, but then sometimes it...

you bet! :D

Checked on my bees for the first time since November, it's a nice warm day here in the 70's. They are doing great! Still have a lot of bees and lots of honey left even a fair amount in the bottom...

Ok, thnx

We have our bee class meeting on Monday evening, and will get whatever $ from whoever is going and send it Tues. a.m. I can let you know how many people for sure. I think Marvin McCord, our teacher,...

I was just thinking of posing that same question! I am putting together a database of beekeeping online tools, forums, catalogs, and sites for my beekeeping class/club. I had hivetracks, and...

I do not have this problem, but since I know that cleaning with bleach water would not be good for the bees, could the mold be cleaned out with vinegar water?

Cool! I'm gonna shop!

I received an American Express gift card for Christmas. I want to spend it on bee stuff but so far I can't find a company that accepts Amex! Does anyone know of one?

I just checked it out and signed up--way cool!

I just got an email with a mailing address--thank you so much

CAn I make payment to you via paypal? I was out of the country for a couple weeks so may have missed an email
Thanks

I just "Liked" every page listed here. The ID theft thing is totally over-hyped by the media. I love FB and it's how I keep up with my friends and family easily. Without it, I never would have...

I talk to my bees, but I know they can't hear me! That's as far as it goes though!

thanks for the replies. I think I will order a package AND do a split. I might experiment with trying to catch swarms.

If I wanted to trap some swarms, and used a hive body, should it have frames in it? i know that's probably a dumb question.....
