I have had a location as described for several years. The problem I feel that was the worst was winter wind. I run open screen bottoms all year. The wind appeared to be the major issue with higher...

I purchased some old barn wood to cover the exterior of a rustic shed. I was looking for aged oak however what I found available was cottonwood. It is aged, feathery textured on the exterior...

I have a 6/3 electric Dadant Ranger which is about 15 years old. Used it about 10 years. Last used about 5 years ago. I am 275 miles away. Just kept it to use for plastic frames however have now...

The problem I would see NDnewbeek is that the cart/truck must be able to stand up on it's own to load it and remain upright after doing so. The large diameter tires is a plus however you give up...

I mounted a plywood base on the lower structure with a low rim around...

I did it outside as a precaution. Did not notice any odor but made sure I stayed upwind just in case. Did not have any tendency to "boil over". Just developed a scum layer on top.

Thought I would pass this along. I had a bucket of used metal frame spacers. Boiled them in water over a turkey fryer base with poor results. I added about 4oz of TSP to the two gallon of water...

There was a similar inquiry about a year ago you might search out. I have the Brushy Mountain extractor. Runs fine however my only negative is that it is pretty tiring to use if you are only...

I actually have had one mounted on the outside of my hot room door for several years (cut a hole in the door). I does work however in my situation was not too effective until I put a light near the...

They work extremely well for me though they do require a 2nd trip to the yard to retrieve the super the next day. They are most effective when used prior to a cool night--might take 2 days to vacate...

I Have The Glory Bee Suit. I Have Mixed Fellings About It. I Am Not Happy With The Veil As It Is Not Possible To Safely Drive A Vehicle With It Off As It Is In The Way And Leaving It On Is Not Much...

Anyone have any experience with a Maxant vertical pump?

Does Anyone Know Of A Site Listing The Vendors That Will Be There?

Kelley company sells a thermostat to control the light bulb fixture.

I use scales in my nearby yards. They are very helpful in timing comb honey production and fun to watch. I put my name on a list with local auctioneers for old platform scales and have a standing...

I found this remarkable. When making my second application of Apiguard I found I was missing the used foil pad in the first hive. I assumed I may have missed that hive initially until I moved on to...

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to use/market incompletely filled rounds. I usually have about 10% that don't get fully filled (last one or two rows of cells on outside). I usually just...

If you have too much to use up in a short period, I would suggest freezing it in a plastic container. It will be stable indefinitely.

Does anyone have experience with an extended late killing frost and it's implications on hive build up and the potential honey crop? We have experienced weather in the teens the past few nights. We...

This is directed to Ross's comments. Would you elaborate on using the piano wire. Sounds like a clever idea to use in the late summer heat when dealing with burr comb/propolis. Thanks

I believe in cross wiring wired foundation. This is especially important if you intend to extract honey early the first season before the wax has "cured" or if extracting thick honey such as black...

I like to use extra thin foundation. My problem has been that it quite often warps d/t heat while on the hive prior to being drawn out. I am wondering if securing it at the bottom also would result...

I am wondering if there would be any reason not to apply a wax bead top and bottom on thin foundation to secure it? I often see reference to securing the top.

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK

Can anyone give me a supplier/source name for what I would call a carousel to hold uncapped frames prior to extracting? Thanks.
