straightrazorplace is a good site also, it got me into straights. Glad to see some other fellows here that shave that way.

For a lot of power and control, I would recommend something in the Cannon Rebel series. They are very good cameras. The XSi has 12megapixels. There are so many different lenses out there that fit...

crush and strain..... 1 frame? that's the only fast way i see.

I live right near them but they do not sell nucs but only packages in the late spring. I get packages from Miller Bee Supply because they deliver earlier. They are also here in Wilkes County. I'm...

I'm trying to find someone more local to purchase nucs from. Shipping prices are outrageous. I live in Wilkes County North Carolina.

If you sell nucs in North Carolina or know someone who does...

I live about 5 minutes from BMBF. They are really nice people and I frequently stop by there to get a random piece of equipment or just to talk to some people I know there.

They are friendly...

I live near Miller Bee Supply and BMBS. They are both very good suppliers. BMBS runs a much larger operation. Both have good quality and are very customer friendly. I've bought all my stuff from...

i've read that some people use flashing.

Good luck fellow north carolinian.

wow, awesome picture.

i'm 18, about to turn 19 next month. Really got into primitive skills and self sustainability and beekeeping was the obvious next more costly adventure to take in producing everything for oneself.

you could drive 2 hours to brushy mountain or miller bee supply :P

45C at 2pm? that's 113F.... you have it shade/sun. Did you mean sun/shade? 113F in the sun inside or outside the hive?

i checked and released my queen after 3 days... everything went fine. A week later both hives had 4 frames of foundation completely drawn and were working on the 5th. Eggs were also visible.

So,...

+2 - sell them or save them for a more aesthetic based job.

A waste in my opinion to use on frames.

just curious, what time should the reducer be completely removed?

I like your stands. Always a good idea to have a place to put your tools while you work.

the smallest one on the entrance reducer is what i used when hiving my packages. Dadant's intro book says use that for 4 weeks.

5gallon pail is 60 pounds of honey.

A full deep weighs 90lbs, not sure how much of that is honey.

When i first read the title, i thought you meant you would be selling 55gallon drums.

other beeks have mentioned they spaced their hives to allow for a lawn mower to pass between. I guess just blow the grass away from the hives and not into them :P

i hived 2 packages this past friday with some mist (break from hard rain). Went great.

5 gallons is 60 pounds of honey.

2 cups of sugar to 1 pint of water.

1 pint of water is 1.04375 pounds and 2 cups of sugar is 1 pound in most cook books.
