Well, the queen even laid eggs in the super. So I left it on, cut the feeding (removed the inner feeders and replaced with empty frames), and added another super with a queen excluder.

I am going to be inspecting my bees today.
Should I mark any frames in the super (if any) that have honey storage and not use it. Or should I take my chances?
Is there any way to tell if the...

Hi guys, I have a question about feeding bees.
I inspected my hive for the first time this year at the beginning of March. Brood was already hatching (not sure if that is normal or not) and I added...

I got stung in the eyelid. Swelled like crazy. But in 3 days it went down and all was good..

They would take your blood I'm pretty sure. And then add the bee venom. or something. I'm not 100% positive, but that's what i've heard.

Just thought I'd let you know: Citrex is resold as a wax remover for body boards, surf boards, and skimboards...etc. Get a quart of it from somewhere, but I'm telling you it doesn't burn (atleast...

We recently repainted our garage floor. I went through 3 dissolving solvents before I found this one. http://www.lmcc.com/products/citrex.asp
It's called CITREX. And it literally dissolves...

Thanks guys for all of the thoughtful answers. So, Sometimes I can get stung in a more sensitive area and I swell more. Or is it just that the bee released more venom that time? So how long would it...

I've been stung plenty of times by Carolinian bees and it would sting and then it would be a little itchy. But now I got stung by a Buckfast bee on my wrist and my hand swelled up to about 4 times...

Who says bees don't like plastic! :P

The queen is still laying brood In a decent pattern, it's Just not as much as the other hive. As far as I know I don't see any problems within the hive. When I got the nucs the buckfast hive already...

This is my first year beekeeping. So I'm pretty new. I have two hives, that I started at about May 20ish. I started with two nucs, both with different variety of bees. (the strong hive is Buckfast,...

I buy my hives from honeybeehabitat.com and they charged me 31$ for 62lbs of freight. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

That sounds like a really good idea. After I weed kill it, maybe next year I'll plant some wild flower. Thanks everyone for all of the advice, you all have helped me out a lot :).

Thanks everyone for all of the help.

@11x-I read my pm before I looked to see who posted under my thread. I thought it was a mass message sent out to a lot of people. So I just told you not to...

I "need" to kill these plants because I live in a 10 acre rural development, and the creek is easily seen from the lane.
I have weed killed these plants every year, once a year. It takes about 3...

I am a new beekeeper, and my two beehives will arrive tomorrow. Just wondering what type of foundation I should put down. Should I put down a pallet, landscaping blocks, cinder blocks, or any other...

I don't think I need to worry about the weed killer leaking into the water. I have sprayed these weeds last year and the only probability it that some of the weed vapor may land in the water. It is a...

It only lasts one year in the soil. I'm thinking more on next year. You will be surprised, there are ALOT of huge weeds out there. probably an average 3 foot high weeds. But, for the time being, i'm...

I can't reach the weeds with my 72" deck mower. So I need to weed kill it. If I don't, it gets out of control. I'm just wondering if the bees will get hurt from pollinating the weeds that have weed...

Just wondering if I could weed kill a bunch of weeds along my creek. I do not have the weed kill on me atm. But I know that it is a concentrate, and it needs to be diluted. After it is mixed in...
