What about chilled brood?

I have not had a stellar year like I was expecting with the honey flow and just wondering how everyone else is dealing with the dry weather and the non existant honey flow. The only hive that is...

I was able to check my hive today and was able to find fresh eggs in the hive, the eggs were in the bottom of the cell and only one per cell, so all seems well with the queen. I guess it pays to be...

I installed one frame of brood last thurs when I found them queenless. There was no capped brood in the hive when I discovered it. I have never had any trouble finding eggs and brood before, mine...

I did place the queen cage into the front entrance. So that may have been a mistake. I am going back in Sun and check again. If no eggs I guees I will take two frames of brood from my split and see...

I was able to determine my cause for the bees to be cranky...queenless. So I ordered up me a queen and installed her last Friday. I pulled the cage out of the entrance on Sunday and she was already...

I have been contacted about a hive in the base of a pecan tree at the corner of a house. The owners are not really worried about the bees but had rather they not be there and would let me try to trap...

I think I found out today why they were cranky. My old hive is queenless. I ordered me a queen from Gardner's and should be delivered tomorrow. I am glad I found that out when I did or it could have...

I was about 75 to 80 yards away from my two hives throwing the baseball with my son, and we had one bee that seemed to be really checking us out he was flying all around our face and on two occasions...

Should I add a frame of uncapped brood?

I opened up the new hive today. I found a capped queen cell and two uncapped cells on the seventh frame. Needless to say I was happy and so was my little seven yr old to see our queen cell. There was...

I made a walk away split last Friday, and I am wanting to open the new hive tomorrow. Is it too early to open this hive? If I do need to open what would be signs of concern. Of course there wil not...

My one hive has been really busy, bringing in pollen and nectar, I actually performed an inspection last week and found drone brood plus some drone bees on some of the frames. The bees were not...

I never would have thought that would be puttin on a shallow super in February. I kept a shallow on since fall but I opened the hive today and they have drawn out eight of the ten frames so I added...

I did get to kill me a hive beetle afterwards.

I never thought I would have been opening in january either but the weather has been so nice and the bees have been so busy they act like it is middle of summer. I was happy to see all the activity....

Me and the wife decided to inspect the bees today. I am running two deeps and a shallow super. I had one get under my veil and I walked away about 100 yards and removed my veil to remove the friendly...
