On insepctions, I 'd peep in in the packages about once a week. I would also move the frames around to get them pulled without messing with the brood area. they rather move up in ten frame equipment...

Justin I'm in morgan near magoffin. I'd say in the next week your bees will be starting in poplar and locust and start ignoring feed so much. But I'd pour it to them if they keep taking it ,...

I use them to put out rat poision, cover the hole partly. Keeps other things, like the wifes dog out. Long story twice.

AR, Those sound like the qualities I'm looking for in my next wife:p

I think that the honey locust is the one that doesen't produce nectar the bees use.

I must like to use flatheaded screw drivers and wood chisels. I keep losing hive tools. Maybe if I bought one of those high dollar ones I would keep up with it. I am pretty sure I wouldn't keep up...

How much are they asking and how much are they really recieving? A fortune is how much compare to a pretend apairy that is six moths old, without supers, or counting labor?

I am just now able to look a hive and see if someting is not right. When I go into one of my little yards I always have a plan of what I'm going to do or what I am looking for. I also try to have a...

I was always taught not to ask people has much money or how many cows they had. When asked, I just say too many during the winter and not enough at market time.
