I agree the pictures are great!!

I treated 3 of my hives the last week in august. I didn't have any problems during the treatment. I didn't remove the patties because they say the bees will remove them. well I am removing suppers...

hot is not the word for it.

Mosherd. thanks for your advise. I will wait and see what happens.

I made two splits with queen cups on 5/20. I checked on them today I have one with eggs and the other nothing. I don't want to end up with laying workers and I don't necessarily want to increase the...

I had skunks eating my bee not long ago. an old timer beek told me to put carpet tacks down in front of my hives. when the skunks smack the bees to eat them they get a surprise. I no longer have a...

Last fall I was at another beekeepers house and he had a huge section of tree that he moved that was full of bees. They seemed to do fine. So hopefully yours will to. I agree moving them is better...

Looking good. Thanks for sharing. :applause:

Nice picture. But I am glad I don't have to shovel that snow!:)

I had some robbing going on so i had them reduced to maybe a ¼". I have to admit I didn't go into the bottom box much. They have clam shell type frames / rubber band and yarn holding things together...

Oldbee I never had to feed these bees . they came from a cut out early in the summer.

Thanks everyone. I am going to hope for the best and check them as soon as weather permits.

we had a 50 degree day last week and I popped the cover off and the girls were in the top box already. I have one of those 3 season covers on the top box with a upper entrance. I didn't see any...

I went out to check on my hives this morning and found honey coming out of one. What is going on?? anyone else have this happen in the winter? Here is a couple of pictures.
