Had a dead out last fall, or at least I guess that is what it is called. Last fall I had 2 hives that swarmed on me late season. 1 found a miracle drone somewhere out there, and the other didn't make...
Thanks guys. The wire from the foundation is flopping all around, and the other 9 frames are all the same way. I think I am just going to cut the comb out of the frames and use them for a removal I...
This hive was given to me last year by a ex-beek who became allergic to stings. Double deep hive that produced a few supers of honey. I did an inspection in early fall and everything was fine. Queen...
Our local TV station spewed nonsense on this evenings news. It's kinda got me aggravated. If you are on Facebook you can leave a comment at the bottom of the "story" Thanks for the help. ...
:doh: Thanks pine ridge... crystals, not balls. I hate when I do that!
I have a chest freezer that I freeze everything in for 2 or 3 days, then out to the barn. Stack tightly, moth balls, and cover with a telescoping cover.

Thanks Bluegrass. Getting old stinks!
I read about this, but its been a while back. IF I remember correctly it was old info saying not to use it, and today it is used sucessfully. "old wives tale" type thing. Dont quote me on this!
Dont feed, leave them alone. Wait 3 weeks and check to see if you have a brood nest started. They will sort things out. Put that empty super on and they will move stores up into it, making room for...
