It is in the 90s with high humidity. I figured that it could only help with ventilation. Would you put the slide in bottom boards back in during the winter time? How do you use the slide in board...

I seen the plans for the IPM Screen Bottom Board this site and was wondering what is the pros and cons of using these? I live in the South and it is hot. Would I be doing a good thing to put these...

I planted an acre within 50 yards of the hives.

Try Searching for Vespa crabro this is the Scientific name of the European Hornet and it looks a lot like your photo.

It may be a type of Hornet. I am not sure. We have European Hornets here in the South Eastern U.S. that are a little bit more orange/yellow in color that resemble your picture.

I just got two hives, one was started from a 5 frame nuc and the other from five frames of brood and the guy dumped about 5lbs of bees into it for me. I am starting with all new frames. I was...
