I bought an older Maxant chain uncapper, and it has no adjustment. I want to make it adjustable before I use it. I have read that they cut too deep if you run 9 frames in your supers like I do. I...

EastSideBuzz I am starting queen rearing on a little larger scale in the spring. Nothing major just for my own hives, and a few for local beekeepers who have ask me for some. I am going to use the...
Thanks Wisnewbee I had no idea where to buy frames of brood. I will give these guys a call for sure.

For all beekeepers in the North Texas area Sam's in Lewisville Tx. is now selling 25# bags of imperial pure cane sugar for 11.98 a bag. Best deal I have found in a long time.
Question? I have never fed HFCS, but have been told its not good for the bees. Have I been mislead on this subject? I keep bees for 20 years. Then was out of the business for about 20 more years....
Thanks for all the good ideas guys. I have been buying imperial pure cane sugar at Sams for 12.96 for 25# bag. The one thing that I have found is that not all Sams are the same price. There are...

Yes I am going to try my luck at queen rearing this year. Don't plan on selling any yet just raising to increase my number of hives.
I am looking for 30# to 50# of bees without queens to buy in North Texas or Southern Oklahoma. I would consider nucs if I can't find bulk bees. Anyone interested in selling? Reply to this post or pm...
Lemon grass oil and frames with comb are the way to go for me also. Swarm traps will work great if put in a good location. Put a few drops of lemon grass oil on the landing board, and a few drops on...

I would like to buy a few good established hives as close to Gainesville tx. as possible. Must be in 10 frame equipment. Amount that I am willing to pay depends on the size and condition of hive.
