Hello;

I am looking to buy pollen, somwhere in the neighboood of a pound or so. Preferably the pollen would be fresh or freezer stored.

Yes, I just came across this too.

All you have to do, is squeeze some honey on some band-aids, call it medical grade honey and sell 10 of em for over 100 bucks. What a bunch of hype!

That guy should be staked out near an ant hill and have honey poured on him!!

I recommend ditching the non-standard size box and putting the 9 frames in a standard size box with spacers for 9 frames. Less hassle in the long run.

You are correct. Six years ago, I was using both PC and wax comb in the hives - typically 2 fulls or 1 full and a pc for brood. Since that time, I have been culling the old waxed comb out...

Glue and Screw. The only way to go.

I appreciate that (most of) you (especially Bill) like the comb. It is all I use in my hives (both brood and honey).

I live on east coast. The comb is produced in LA. I must ship it from...

Am looking for 5 NWCs. Can anyone please recommend a good source? I know Strachan sells them at $21/ea + ship. Seems a bit pricey to me. Other suggestions/ recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanx.

Here's one possible causal factor that seem viable - no hard evidence though.

Thanx, Mike.
