Thanks, looks like it is in fact voluntary and I'm am going to choose not to volunteer to give up any information I am not forced to do so. I'm not a fan of being put on a list.

I had seen the thread but it was from 2005, so I didn't know if it's still held true and the state law document is just painful to read and no where states registration And is also from 1996. But it...
If a hive is for personal use, not for honey sales the sale of bees or any other such profit, must I register said hive in Western New York. If so where do I do this before I receive my bees.
If you have an old electric train set the power supply from that should work and you can adjust the output as needed, should be able to find one at a garage sale for dirt cheep.
I like to go overboard 2" galvanized screws in each finger of joints both side + titebond III. I also drilled and countersunk all the screws. Takes for ever on each box but it looks good
Thanks for the replies, so it seems it is a lot easier than I have been making it out in my head. Does any one run bottom/medium/deep/deep/honey. I read some where that the bees will store more...

Found a great locally raised and split wintered nuc from a very helpful beekeeper I will update everyone once I see it. Thanks for all the help if anyone local wants to know just pm me and I will...
Wow I feel dumb... I googled middlesex ny and it kept puting me in the middle of ny city, my bad. Thank you rader!
Thanks guys, messaged the local beekeeping group a few days ago still didn't get a response. May not be to many people watching the email. I saw the one for sale in middle sex but thats all the way...
Hey guys, I'm new to beekeeping and I want to start this spring but I am having trouble finding local nucs or packages of bees. All the online ordering just seems a little expensive when we are...
