I was wondering what the best way is to pull honey supers off from hives which are top entranced. I used some bee quick but they didn't seem to really want to go...do I need to leave it a long while...

Has anyone ever ordered from Parsons GOld?

Awesome!!! Please do as I need around 4

Where are you pickig up queens and would you pick up any extras? :D

thanks guys

I am currently running three medium hive bodies and the queen has a great pattern throughout two of the boxes and starting a great run at the third...my question is do I need to do anything with...

I've had the dangest time getting in to the chat...don't know if it i smy server or what the cause is but if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

I'm with river on this one....don't get caught.

I have read a lot of negatives on vacuuming and would prefer to do as you all say and slowly remove the comb. The second hive won't be as easy because I cannot even see the comb. This one my buddy...

Hey all I have a colony of bees that have been living in an area under this old farm house that belongs to friends of mine. I can actually see the bees and the comb from outside of the house. There...

I had what I thought was going to be a strong hive going in my backyard. I left them with lots of stores...a total of 3 meds. WHen I checked the hive on a day when I was not working and it was...

Ted you can get lemongrass oil in just about any healthe food store as well as several online sites. Make sure that you get foodgrade. Look in or under essential oils.

Dandelions, lilac, lots of maple varieties

Well so far I've been stung twice while minding my own business. Both times I've been stung I was no closer than 3 feet and doing nothing other than walking around looking at stuff. What's up with...

Barry,
There's something called "Craig's List"...a quick post and you'll have em begging for it.

Thanks again for the input, I am looking forward to working with these hives.

Thanks for the input everyone. With TBHs is there as big of a concern over mites??? This was the main reason for my thinking about SBBs.
