I am looking for one or two overwintered nucs that would likely be available in April, 2013. Would prefer NWC or carniolan stock, but would consider trying russians or some hardy hybrid stock as...
Bottom box had some pollen and bees. No brood, not much honey besides in a few of the frames corners.
I just inspected my hive thinking that I would put on mouse guard and get them all sealed up for the winter. I last inspected in early September and saw a medium and a deep full of honey on top of a...
I've made a google document to make this easier to normalize across volume/weight. Here is the link (please leave the headers as they are):...
What if we could format it so it is more usable in Google docs. Something like this:

Hi all,
I was wondering if we could start a thread to help new beeks figure out what they should charge for their honey.

I would love to get a nuc to start a hive of carniolans this spring. I am in Danbury, CT so pickup would have to be relatively close. Would also pay for shipping if anyone out there ships nucs from...
Inspected the hive this past weekend. Was expecting to find a hive with many less bees in it, but was surprised by what I found. If they swarmed, they didn't swarm with many bees because the hive...
I recently inspected a hive I installed a 3lbs package into in early June. The hive seems to be doing well-lots of brood (capped and larvae), eggs, drawn comb on 7 out of 10 deep frames. The bees...
Just wanted to give this a bump.
Anywhere within an hour to an hour and a half I can pick up tomorrow morning (around 9AM). If farther afield, we'll have to talk about potential pick-up, but...
Could probably pick up anywhere within 1 hour or so, and would pay up for good bees.
Hi everyone! I know I am a little late to get bees for the season, but have been building my first hive and am looking to get it going this season. I think Italian, VSH or Carniolan bees would be...
