If the bees are still there, the queen is likely still there as well. By the time we get the packages, the bees have been with their new queen for a few days, which should be enough time for them to...

I ordered three 3# packages and they came last week. The weather is really not cooperative this spring. He will give you a call when your bees are in. I thout I would get them 3-4 weeks sooner. ...

Welcome! I'm hoping my ordered bees will arrive in the next week or so.

Here are some more pictures of the set-up.

These hives are only in the sun from approximately 9:30am-1:00pm and then again from 3:30pm-5:00pm due to tree cover (shade). It is a new location for hives, so I am hoping my bees will stay cool in...

Here is a view of my two new hives (yellow and green) and a trap (white) from the inside of my house. The hives are placed on the roof of my garage. This places them well above our...

Seriously? Man... I've had it with this dump!

Welcome to BeeSource! ALWAYS nice to see another WI beekeeper!

Why am I not suprised that the distance bees fly to gather nectar/pollen still came up even though I specifically mentioned that it wasn't the point? I very much dislike the POST COUNT on...

I am mesmerized by watching bees enter and exit the hive. I look at the benefits that bees offer to their environment, add a bit of honey for my table, and the mysteries that come with beekeeping. ...

I'd clear the snow, but top entrances that arent blocked work nicely if you can't get to it immediately.

I have seen some videos and pictures of HUGE bee yards... several HUNDREDS of hives. I'm not understanding how it is possible. How many hives/colonies can an area support. If most honeybees...

Always nice to see another potential WI beekeeper. Welcome!
If you ever find yourself on the southwestern side of the state, let me know.

I'm not sure but I think they can be right next to each other wth no problems. Many, if not all, of the pollinator hives appear to be that way. My original thought was that space would be good... ...

If a man speaks in the woods, when his wife isn't around...

Is he still wrong?

The blizzard dropped 14" on us las week. We are expecting 4 more inches in two days.

Thanks for posting a picture of your beeyard. I'll have to do the same soon.

I buy exterior latex paint... of all colors. If you aren't picky about colors, and sometimes you get lucky (if you are picky about colors), check anywhere that sells paint. They usually have cans...

Welcome! Good luck with the foundationless... I think it may be tough to start foundationless. Three is a great starting number.

Welcome! Always nice to see a fellow Wisconsin Beekeeper on the site.

I was wondering if someone could inform me on the advantages/disadvantages of having a brood area consisting of 3 deeps. Does it increase honey production? Mites? Does it have an impact on...

Welcome, Pat. Glad to see another fellow Wisconsin Beekeeper on the site.

I just purchased over $1100 worth of equipment from them... I know that snot much compared to what some spend, but it is a big deal to me. 100% satisfied. There customer service and easy website...

Acebird, did your bees come from your land? ...or did you buy them? My guess is that a majority of beekeepers buy bees at some point. You introduce the said bees to your backyard, or whatever, and...

Ignore Acebird in this thread. He seems to care more about his post count than the actual quality of his comments.
As stated before, diversity is key. Bees will benefit from adiverse plant...

Also, if it is warmer... or downright hot, things should come apart a little bit easier. I'm not sure what the temps are in NV right now, but I'm sure it'll get warmer in the Spring. Try again then.
