I meant larvae was falling out of the bridge comb. My wife has convinced me not to disrupt them and put some medium supers on so we can get some honey for a change. I can always stand in the bed of...

Yes it is my only hive

I could do that but it is overwhelming and I don't know if I can find the existing queen?

I don't want to disturb them and finally get some honey. Can I split late in the summer

I use all deeps so I may just leave it and put one super on at a time.

Last year I left a third deep super on because it had a bunch of uncapped honey and I just left it for the bees. Now all 3 boxes are full of brood pollen and honey. There was a bunch of bridge comb...

It is raining and temps dropping tomorrow and I must go out of the country for 9 days. I will take pics when I return and inspect, but they were like 1/3 to 1/2 of a full queen cell based on the pics...

You are right the dandelions are not even blooming, maybe I am paranoid because it is doing so well. I don't think there are eggs in them. I did not realize they made them all the time in case of...

This is my 3rd year and I haven't gotten a whole lot of honey yet, would like to get some this year. Thinking about taking the queen some brood and food and making a nuc and leaving the rest where...

I took a deep off last night and there were a couple of frames, 1 had about 25% uncapped and another about half. Is it ok to use this uncapped honey? I don't know how I would separate it from the...

I was thinking of putting my miller type feed on top of my 2 deep hive and then putting pink styrofoam (3/4" board) insulation in each side of the feeder for insulation the putting fondant and pollen...

I am in central Ohio and I have a colony 3 seeps. Bottom 2 are full of bees top is 1/3-1/2. The center deep is full of honey and the top is about 1/2-1/3. How much honey should I take and is it too...

I ordered the wrong size nuc boxes (just the box that you put the frames in not the top bottom or anything else. They are medium size and all my stuff is deep. They are free to a good home. I have 2...
