Don't they mate during flight?

last yr was the first time water had to be hauled for our well in 65 yrs and oddly enough the amount of swarms and ferrell colonies I've seen is unreal we didn't see a bee for about 10 yrs and after...

My hives face east and they all come out the left or southern side and tend to go in toward the northern side of the entrance

They can and will make queen cups without eggs my carnis do it all the time they like to be ready I guess

How many are there? If it's just few the will probably drift to the side that still has bees or join the next batch you put in there I use all l 8 frame med so I used that to raise a queen too put...

Looks fine but you won't get away with cocking it sideways when they are full size and full of brood and stores

I made one like this but drilled the hole on the end up at an angle rain has to come sideways to get into it when it runs down the side and hits the angled edge of the hole it keeps runnin down the...

how many bees we talking? if it's just a handfull don't worry too much, they will circle untill they find a new hive. I recently moved a hive and withing a couple of days they had all dispersed.

yeah, I'm questioning the use of foundationless frames for the brood, flopped out half a comb last week that had the queen on it, still seeing fresh eggs so she is ok.....shwooo!

they look like chiggers.

while generally I would say this is probably true, in my particular case, this guy was very interested in the bees so he payed attention, even mentioned he found it fascinating that they would be...

I don't know about official studies, but I'm working on two trap outs, one has overwinterd for 3 yrs, the other has been in the same spot continuiously for 10 yrs. The only reason I got the call for...

Exactly we see it with all facets of treatment so why would it be any different for bees

this is true, just doing some ribbing, that is why I said ( or kids) in my first response :)

I think it's time someone spent less time in the bee yard and had a talk with the Mrs. LOL

When I was a kid, my parents didn't have insurance, therefor we NEVER went to the Dr. I can't remember the last time I took antibiotics, now a days, we see the same thing we are talking about in...

You can't with all of them, but with some of them you can. I am getting ready to do a trapout, that a good friend of mine has been watching for 10 yrs, they are in a tree 10 ft from his deck and he...

who said helthier than bees in trees? He said healthier bees period. My question is if they can live a long time in a tree without treatments, why can't they live in a box that long without...

I thought this too, but it's a hogan trap I have alot of bee's re-orienting and using the box so I know they came through the funnell, so that is what makes me think these are eating through from...

LOL My first post , may be a little missleading lol , I'm not that slow, This is the first time I've had to fill the same hole twice, every other time it was just a new hole they found. any more...

My Nuc install was easy, It was an 8 frame med, all I had to do was place it on the hive stand, pull the screen and walk away.

Had to plug holes 5 times now ( EDIT: this last time was a hole I already plugged once) so I take it bees can eat through foam why wouldn't they just use the funnell ?

I do the same thing with mason jars
