Hey, how about an update? I'm sure everyone is dying to know who has the lead in the league so far....:)

:applause:

I think this sentence is confusing people. I'm guessing you meant to say you have 3-4 FRAMES partially filled in a single shallow box?

None of my business, but in my experience, you let a wanker bully you once, he will try, try again. Shut him down now, or you will have problems with this guy forever.

And BTW, for that opinion,...

I don't get it. I don't see Chuck Norris on the list. I thought this list was supposed to role models? :rolleyes:

So I poached some apples tonight for dinner. Simmered them in 1:1 syrup with a little brown sugar and cinnamon. I was wondering, is there any reason I can't feed the left over liquid to the bees?...

What happens to the salt? Do the bees remove it from the hive? Do they eat it? Does it end up in the honey? Where exactly does the salt go?

Yeah, Johnson had over 100 yds receiving plus a TD reception. Not quite up to Chuck Norris standards, but still pretty good...

Wow, did y'all see Chris Johnson blow up yesterday? He's a monster! I forget, who has CJ on his team?

Oh yeah, I do! :D

Wait until week three, and you'll learn about losing! Unless, of course, you draft Chuck Norris. If that happens, I surrrender!

If you can do it Monday or Tuesday night, anytime, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll have to quit my job to make the draft. Almost worth it, but not quite! :)

Man, I'd like to join, but I'm drafting in a private league about that same time, and I may be doing it from the freeway. Hopefully I can get my schedule straight before the league fills up...

Kinda sorta a bee thing....

Apiguard works by having the bees drag the gel through the hive as they remove it. If you block the entrance, they can't remove the gel.

Also, I scrape the gel out of the trays and spread it on a...

Thanks, guys

So we just extracted our first honey crop ever! We're so excited! The pictures are of our very first jar of honey. I can't even describe to you how good it tastes! :D

Aw, good puppy!

I like these. They are hard plastic so they don't bow out when you fill them like some others I've tried.

I tried one of these, lots of drowned bees, lots of ants, lots of burr comb on the inside of the riser. Frame feeders seem to work best for me.

Hive top feeder. It drowns too many bees.

Oh, they fight here too. Sometimes walking onto the back deck is like walking through the Battle of Britain....

Andria took this pic. I don't know why the background is so dark, but this is pretty much how our feeder looks most of the day.

Got a pretty good boomer of a hive, so good it threw at least two, maybe three swarms couple of weeks ago, and still has plenty of bees in it. Just checked today, and the new queen is laying. Problem...
