Wow the traps look great. I just got done w/ four of them, I'm hoping to get time to put a few more together and get them out. Still a little early in MICH for swarms, but just around the corner....

[QUOTE=blueskybeesupply;867408]We were nominated for an award for helping to design the "2 oz." bear, as we pushed for its development (we were the first to carry it). ..............

Yes, the article does read that everything should be fine according to the Mayor, and I know they are both Veterans. Showing some support towards the Beekeeper that is a Veteran is what I'd like.

Give this article a read. I just met Mr. Bacon a few months back, he is one of the most experienced beekeepers in...

Four years ago I said that too, with my first hive. Four years later and a few swarms under my belt, now I've got eight, I've already got 400lbs in pails and a few hundred more in supers yet to...

Yeah, hold onto your stuff, maybe things will allow you into the hobby again.

I didn't snap any pictures but I did video myself swapping it over into the nuc. box just because. It took four minutes and it was cool because I just put another single frame in drawn out and reset...

I fashioned up a very similar budget swarm box out of a bankers box (cardboard) with a lid and single drawn frame and a few drops of LG oil. I poked a single hole on the side for entrance. I've...

Awesome story. I know the zip the veil part pretty well. Did that ONCE during an inspection and whoa... is that bee in here... whoa, yeah it is!

Ha ha!

Imma bee. Black eyed peas.

Im in Midland a few hours North if you. I pulled a deep and two mediums off my strongest hive last week and extracted them and I put the extracted boxes back on top of the other two mediums that are...

I am in Central Michigan and I only sold 80 lbs but I sold it for 5$ per lb. I buy plastic bottles and caps and that adds .55 cents of cost. I also made up labels and those were I think .06. Per. ...

Well done, and great video too! Thanks for sharing.

Wow looks great. Funny I saw the cardboard box too. I just saw a youtube vid where a guy put a frame in a cardboard box sideways as a trap. Talk about low cost...I slapped one together today! Brad

I had a swarm show up at my house last year, going after some boxes I had in the garage. At first I thought it was my own robbing what was left out of the supers, but they didnt leave until after...

I'm in Michigan, and I had a mid Season good sized feral swarm that showed up at my garage door trying to get into my 'empty' hive bodies inside. This feral swarm was awesome, they were 'up'...

Can someone post a link for it, I can't find it anywhere.

a scientific black and white picture of a honeybee/anatomy.

Here in Michigan it's a late/last bloom and my bees tear it up. We have a bunch of it in the ditches/fields and I always see honey bees and bumble bees into it. As they ripen it, it DEFINITELY has...

It was 41 degrees here in Michigan and one of my five surviving hives took flight, about 1/2 dozen total out there. Was great to see! Brad

I'm here in Michigan, my second year as a beekeeper. A few weeks ago I knocked on my hives, all good except one which was silent. I cracked open top and it was dead. Few days ago I noticed about...

I'm in Michigan, I had a similar thing happen two weeks ago. Went outside and found a swarm/possible split from one of my 6 hives in yard, moving into a pile of hive bodies I just purchased but...
