I'll have nucs available late June. PM me for availability and prices.

January 2012, I rescued a colony of bees out of split spruce tree, by cutting the stump and placing plywood on both the top and bottom. I placed it at my home yard intending on trying to transfer...

After a day or so, skim the air bubbles off of the top of the honey in your bucket, then bottle as soon as possible. I bottle my unheated raw honey into wide mouth 1 and 2 1/2 pound glass jars. I...

Private messaged you

Sorry to hear about your loss. Will keep my eyes open for your equipment. Really sucks that some feel that they are "entitled" to steal from some other beek.

Just posted on my facebook page the same thing. Started smelling a little goldenrod coming in 2 days ago. With the lack of honey production in our area this summer, hoping the girls will fill the...

Generally wax moths do not go into honey supers unless there has some brood raised in it, especially if there are cells with pollen in the super. I tend to put a few extracted supers out at a time...

Here in Southwestern PA, we had an extremely early spring followed up with 6 weeks of drought like conditions. Bees were not strong enough to take advantage of spring flow. We ended up with...

Are you referring to Honey Run Apiaries? http://www.honeyrunapiaries.com/

A little over a year ago, I posted that my daughter had won the PA Honey Queen honors (a Dad has to brag occasionally)! She recently competed in Las Vegas and won the ABF American Honey Queen honors....

Try Gamber container. http://www.gambercontainer.com/plastic.asp

I get a lot of my EO from Camden-Grey. Check them out.

Call Carlton Simpson of Ohio Simpson's Bees). He normally gets extra queens with his packages and may have a few to sell.

If you have a small quantity to heat, try placing a few on your dashboard of your car on a warm, sunny day. I have had 5 # granulated containers liquify in a day.

Check with The Honey Householder. He is located in NW Ohio. I believe he has posted in the past that he starts early packages and will shake packages for sale late April or so. Maybe he would start...

Simpson"s sells Carniolan 2 pound packages from Koehnen's. I am planiing on purchasing 20 or 30 queens from Koehnen's and should have some 4 frame nucs available by end of May.
Simpson's...

Why not store them outside with a loose cover and allow access for your bees. The cold weather will keep the wax moths away and on any warm winter days your bees will have the opportunity to clean...

StevenG,
We are going into the winter with 70 or so colonies. Hopefully we won't loose too many this winter and hope to expand to 100 or so next year.
With this present setup, we can concentrate...

I run a 20 frame Maxant. This year I upgraded to a Dadant water jacketed sump tank. My honey flows from the extactor into the sump, is heated to 130 degrees and most of the wax is removed by the...

I have owned a Maxant 1400 since the mid 80's and it has been a great machine. In the future, I may purchase another one, so I can spin while filling the other with frames.
If you are seriously...

Check Camden Grey http://www.camdengrey.com/. Best prices I have found.

Have not posted in a long while, been trying to get everything extracted and stored for winter. Normally we brag about how many colonies we have, our average yeild per colony, and how good our honey...

Finally had time to check my Manual of Woody Landscape plants by Dirr (was not sure when the ivy flowered). As I first suspected it appears to be Hedera helix, english ivy. The leaves on the adult...
