Last year I had two stings on my finger while working some hives, I felt a tingle in the bottom of my feet that itched like crazy. From that day...

I just lost my first hive to (Fire Ant's) a full 10 frame hive that still has some stores but it's covered in ant's.

I've never seen anything like this before and I also wonder if it's weather...

Nice looking queen. Did you build your mateing Nucs ?

I got mine the first week of June. They very well may be sisters :)

The numbered disc on the back of my Russian queen was 69.

The Russian / SMR was 05. If you really like dark queens, the Russian / SMR daughters are almost black and have just as nice a pattern. ...

I graft queens and you would be welcome to come watch this spring. I'm 30 miles east of Charlotte, NC.

I wrote about the trip Little John and I made to Don's and I was really surprised at how he worked his bees without any PPE.

I also realized two things that I may have failed to mention.

( 1.) ...

(I'm no expert) but I picked up several queens from Don (Fatbeeman) this past year and re-queened several Italian hives with them. I had the best luck pulling the cage cork after she had been in the...

Well I don't see an issue here.
1. He's not over charging.
2. It's not a major amount.
3. He's being honest about the treatment.
4. And the best part is he's really applied his time and efforts...

Three questions.

How much treated honey are we talking about?

What is the price of the treated honey?

Does he plan to tell the customer about the limestone treatment?

In all 8 pages of this thread I think Jeffrey Todd just made the best comment yet.
