and Mr Bush, you recommend?

Thanks for the comments.

Ruben, I checked out your pictures, you have a beautiful location!

So I am getting ready for winter. I have got the brood in a box or two at the bottom. I have a box or two of honey above them. I am feeding some of the hives to fill up the stores. I think this...

How do you convert the torque to weight?

So I am here in Virginia.

Is it reasonable to say that a full medium box of honey will be enough for them?

Thanks, you have been helpful already?

I am a new beek. I have read several times that I need to make sure that the bees have enough honey to make it through the winter. The measure that is often evoked is - I need to make sure they...

Check out http://beekeeperlinda.blogspot.com/ she has some great videos including one on crush and strain.

Yeah, I've got bumblebees in a birdhouse in my backyard.

Nice - how many hives to produce this much honey?

I've seen more bumblebees this year than any other - no die off here.

I also caught my first swarm yesterday! My picts are on my blog - pretty cool!

I am new to this game and I have not yet gotten stung (I know...)

Do bees sting on the fly or after lighting? What I am really wondering is, if the bees land on me, which happens a lot, is there...

The bumblebees seems to be thriving this year - perhaps it is just that I am looking closer now that I am keeping bees :rolleyes:

I have seen some bumblebees hanging around the front of my hives. They appear to be trying to get in but are being repelled by the guards. Is this normal - anyone else seen this. Should I worry?

So, I did a hive inspection today and found the queen readily. The hive looked strong and growing. When I looked at my pictures later it looked like I had another queen! Please take a look at my...

Well, those of you who guessed drone cell were correct. Sorry, as a newbee it looked so peculiar that I jumped to a conclusion that it was a queen cell. What gave it away to the careful readers was...

I got my first hive, a split, from a fellow beekeeper on Friday. I took my first peek inside today and . . .

It was 70ish today so I came home early to see what the bees were doing. I began by...

So, this was a colony started from a Nuc. It certainly was not fully established so it did not have the stores needed to make it through the cold weather. However, I was assuming that the food I...

Well this is my first year and the one colony I have been trying to get through the winter kicked the bucket. I have documented what I did and taken some pictures of the current state in hopes I can...

I am looking for small cell foundation (4.9mm) for medium boxes. I know Dadant carries it - does anyone else?

I have read, I have listened, I have asked questions and I still ended up in a quandary with regard to which foundation to purchase. So I bought a variety, not the smartest thing economically, but I...

I had the same question and finally ended up using Minwax Polyurethane Clear to show the natural wood finish. Seems to be working fine, I let it air a couple of days before introducing the bees and...

I am just thankful for the recent scientific studies that tell me it is good for me to eat dark chocolate.

Have a Blessed Christmas!

For those of you using the bucket feeder - does anyone have a picture of the top so I can see the distribution and size of holes you are using?
