Okay. But, really doesn't help much without any other info.

I often see everyone on these boards shooting for "big" queens and what not. I get the whole "bigger is better" notions with feeding. BUT, What is the correlation between queen size and fecundity or...

Might be interested in Dakota's honey production.

Bevy,

Can you smell the slight scent of the palmetto if you get close to the bushes? Right now, with the cooler nights we've been having (50F earlier this week) the bees have been working the...

Chinese photinia

Palmetto flow around here (sandhills and pine scrub north of Tampa) started in mid-April and is still going strong. Have a nuc from a split that is waiting on queen mating and they're packing in the...

One of the biggest things I like about Mann Lake is the ease in re-ordering. Once you get your account established you can look at past invoices and just hit the reorder button. It's a simple, but...
