Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the heated knives kelley sells for the silver queen uncapper?

Thanks,

Will

I got some. How much are you looking to buy?

HMF is present in heated honey and hfcs. I believe it is monitored in EU as a possible detection method of adulterated honey.

The honey you see in the grocery store labeled as USDA grade a or whatever only contains a percentage of usa honey. It is blended with import honey. I believe it can be as low as 10% usa honey and...

Great observation! I use the fake plastic credit cards that I'm always getting in the mail as a landing board for these. Works well. Just slip them between box and bottom board.

The only place I know they are sold is in Europe. Maybe Swienty.

Yes, with Safer diatemaceous earth in the trap.

It's all in the timing of the split. You have to split the bees when the bees want to be split. You can't make a split just 'cause you want to. You have to respect the bees and the time of year. ...

Shake them down onto foundation. Burn the old comb. Treating with antibiotics just masks the symptoms.

Thanks Bodo! And to B. Haning, I would love to hear some stories!!

Thanks,

Cool B. Haning! Is your uncle still living? I bet he has some great stories to tell. I searched the Madcat database at UWM library. All I come up with is this:

Neil,

Do you remember the type of nematode mentioned?

Thanks,

I'm looking for a comprehensive listing of all articles written by C. L. Farrar. Any ideas where one might be found?? Don't find much with google.

I do, as do others who run unlimited broodnests. I don't extract all honey in spring, but what is needed to open up the broodnests after the bees have turned 3-4 rounds of brood.

Laying workers don't lay eggs that stand on end. Leave her in the observation hive until you can make a split.

Hive reversal is the single most disruptive manipulation in spring. It's probably one of the most touted least understood practices of beekeepers. Oh yeah, just reverse 'em. Poppy cock! I prefer...

Had the smaller rauchboy. Just bought the large brushy mtn. smoker that looks like rauchboy and kelley's large smoker to see which one I liked the best. Kelley's is the best of the three. Sold the...

Buy a mac. You won't regret it. Wish I had done it years ago. Bought a macbook pro. Had messed around with linux. Apple is unix based.

Buckfast originally had african blood. Which makes them africanized. Africanized bees have been here at least as long as the italians. Who really knows what kind of bees we keep?? Isn't it all...

Cut any 2x to length of your desired frame size. Plane the 2x to either 1 5/16" or 1 3/8" whichever you prefer. Groove the top and bottom of the board for the corresponding top and bottom bar...

Once you've got larvae hatching out, it's too late for the hive. It works best to trap adults before they have a chance to build up in the hives. The west hive beetle trap works best imo.

Just use a stapler! It's much faster and cheaper and easier. An arrow jt-21 is the best.

Buy your queens locally. That way you can go pick them up.
