They swarmed yesterday, (Thursday). They are so high up we can't possible get to them.
However, my husband has reserved a lift to cut some branches from other trees but it won't be till Monday.

After a warm winter, I've a colony that must have done well. It swarmed a couple weeks ago and we caught it. I haven't the time to work my hives so my husband has kind of taken over. I know it's...

Well, Weaver is sold out of package bees. I guess I'm out of luck this year..unless anyone knows where I can get any other Buckfast bees.
Would it be wrong to have other bee races in the yard with...

this winter. They starved. I have two left and I think they are going to be ok. I have fed them with 2:1 sugar water.
I would like to know if I can and should order any more bees to replace what I...

Ok Jack..I'll try 'em. Thanks.
I haven't had much luck with anyone wanting to answer my questions. I've been made to feel like I have no business with bees.

I'm heading to the hives tomorrow....

Thanks MB and Billy Bob.
I believe next weeks temps are going to be below 40 for highs. There may be one day that might be 50 or so. I have terra patties, checkmite strips and Mita-thol. I can also...
