I have almost a complete medium. I would crush an strain it an keep it before I would feed it back, They are very strong as it is. This came from a single hive I had in the spring that swarmed and I...

I asked them about that also and was told I would have to get a commercial food processing license if I went to a kitchen that someone already had licensed.

Maine law qualifies extracted honey as processed. ANY food processed requires a home food processing license. To get that I have to have the septic inspected, kitchen inspected, water tested - and...

I pulled the last of the honey. A medium very well capped.
I have a question -
I can't sell liquid honey without a license (can't get a license yet). I can only sell comb/cut comb right now.
The...

USPSP tracking (as far as I have ever been able to deduce) is just a little extra you can pay to let you know the item got mailed... After that it is pretty useless. I find that most of the time the...

Only thing I can say -
Good. With an attitude like that (me.. me.. me) the last thing needed is to have someone expecting to be taken cared of. To many people have the attitude and go around having...

I have some cheese cloth I could use, I will probably warm up the honey some before I strain it again.
Thank you all for your helpful replies.

If there is no disease just brush it out - I would probably scrape and wash.
If nosema or certain other diseases were present then scorch it with a propane torch.

It won't hurt the bees but you may not like it if you forget to turn it off.
Without a grounding rod you will need to stagger hot and neutral fence wires so the animal can make contact with both if...

What exactly makes a breeder queen better than your normal purchased queen? What/How do they hold back the "genes" from being passed along to the $15 queens?

Are these $$$$$$$ queens guaranteed...

No I am not feeding.. This hive hasn't had any feed since about may - I think I gave them 1 gal at most. (this is from a swarm split).

It seems there isn't much use in extracting honey they just...

As I said in my post I did this with two frames. Their second chamber had foundationless. Mostly drawn now and also in honey.

Mike

(This continues from a number of previous posts about the bees filling the brood nests with honey)

I don't know what they are up to. Unless they clear some out and let the queen lay they will die...

Also the effects on the honey.

Mike

(depends on the faith you refer to)
Of course "science" is not faith at all. We know they are right and we have no reason to think they are wrong.
Oh to be open minded - then I can stop thinking...

I have never seen such a long list of mis-quotes and mis-understandings...
You forgot one (except this one isn't mis-used).... "What is Truth?" Then they quickly killed the Truth.

I have no...

My belief is that Jesus was a real man - if He hadn't let people walk all over Him we would all be dead without any chance. (not to mention He said we're to do as He did)... I of course pray I would...

I assume your joking... I mean seriously someone would consider taking another human's life (even someone you don't like) over bees?

Mike

If I was wanting to sell raw (meaning 100% propolis) in powder form would I disolve it in grain alcohol, strain it, then set it out until the alcohol evaporates leaving is as pretty much pure...

Is this deferent than a few years ago?
Are people finding honey, bees, queen sales down? Pollination contracts being dropped? Etc.?

Mike

In my opinion the big "secret" story is the New Geat Depression has begun - lawmakers just aren't willing to admit it.

So have you seen effects of the economy in your beekeeping business?...

Personally I would forget it.

If I had been the man I (hope) would have boxed them and probably taken them home telling the guy to let the owner know I have them to bring equipement and get them...

No problem - just didn't want you to think I did it with an arrogant attitude. I have never really had trouble with people thinking I was kingly :)

Mike

Just my opinion but ...
If my information is correct stainless steel also has some amount of leaching.
Unless you keep your stainless steel exposed to air between uses (I.E. not wet or anything) it...

How about one of the condiment dispensers... You know it looks like a stainless steel box with a button on the front. A sspout under it. Ypu push on the button (I think it squeezes a bag) and it...
