Are they still making them?
Do wait till dusk to make sure they are all home. otherwise you will have stragglers that will be mad for a while.
Wausau Chemical Co. 1 gal. @ 90% was $30.00
Just remember that how you are using it is not approved by the FDA, only the bought pads are.
I know, its all done the same, but you didn't BUY the...

anyone interested in some tobacco plant seeds ? I have a bunch and was told that it was comparable to cigarettes for quality. Just let me know (it'd be cheaper that buying smokes ) !!
A question that I have would be, do the queens have a direction that they go to mate ? As in generally south, west or other ? I do already know that they do go along prominent landmarks such as a...
be careful next time you ask a drunk for help...:no:
one guy I know was so wasted that he forgot to dial 9 for 911 lol!!!:lpf:
It was asked before; how do you store this corn syrup ? Is there something you could add to make it last all summer ? I am thinking about getting an amount myself too, which brings me to this . Where...
The farmers market here is selling theirs for $9.00 a pint and $12.00 a quart.
No, tried that. I heat it up very slowly and then let it cool. I get a wax cake on top of usable honey when its cold.
Its a random wild swarm. Thats why the dark queens. Nothing around here that I know of is from dark stock. I think its kind of special in a way. In a couple of days I will be starting another round...
I have recently checked my mating nucs, and found that I have two black queens. They are both laying excellent, so I'm a little excited! They were bred off of a swarm that I caught earlier. I will be...
mating nucs are easy to move. That would give you a better chance to have them mate with other drones. On the other hand, queens will fly to a further drone congregation area, usually 1.5 miles away....
Have a good one !!
thanks everyone for the thoughts and experience. I think I will get a couple of them to use. Sounds like they are nice to use.
I am also interested in seeing how it works!!
Yep thats the bottom line !! Thanks for the reply
Michael, is it possible to cut them down ? I know its kind of wasting part of an expensive item. Also would the bees build up too fast in just four frames of shallows ? I wonder if a guy could put a...
Do you mean that when you put the frames in it they are too tall and then the cover rests on top of the frames? That wouldn't make enough bee space. If that was the case, I wonder what frames they...
I thought they would be handy with the handles, and not having to paint. Also you can just set them out on the ground and not need a bottom. I might try two and see how I like them. They are a bit...
Has anyone tried the bee briefs yet?? I was thinking of getting a couple of them and would like to know what kind of feedback there is about this product. They sure look handy...
Ya no paint on the inside.
The easiest way and probably the laziest way is to simply flip the box upside down and let the bees move all the honey and let the brood hatch. then when its empty you can just take it off and clean...
Michael Bush shared a secret for killin ants. It has worked every time for me. Mix a cup of jelly (I used grape) and a cup of borax and sure.... go ahead... feed the ants. It took about three weeks...
skunk cabbage smells just like skunk essence when you crush the leaves. (Thought I farted) lol :D:D:applause:
