This is also my 2nd year with the Ultra Breeze full suite. Their customer service has been awesome. When I first got my suit, there was an issue with the veil touching under my chin. I sent some...

Just to chime in, I received one of the new hoods several weeks ago and i have been working a lot of bees, and it has worked flawlessly through this summer. I will post a pic of the new hood that...

I bought the Maxant 3100 hand crank then upgraded to the Power version and i love the quality and speed. I am now looking at getting the 1400 model more to decrease the time spent extracting than...

I have acquired several used supers and even frames. I will use a hand held torch and go over the insides of the supers really thoroughly, then i paint them. as for the frames, i needed a good...

Ultra Breeze has been wonderful to work with and I know they will come up with a great solution.

Here is the solution I came up with. It worked great, but I am sure there are other ideas that...

Ok, just another update. We split 30 hives today and I did not get a single sting anywhere. The UB suit held up to its reputation of keeping the stings away, and with the guard in place they could...

Just an update. Ultra Breeze has been wonderful to work with so far. I received some of the suit fabric this morning to prototype a guard to protect my neck and chin. I enlisted the help of my...

Yep, all in one morning! lol I looked rather funny this morning. I did not have a double chin, in it looked like I tried to swallowed a ball! I picked the stingers out for a while, and had...

i did make sure that the zippers were zipped and the velcro was secured properly. What was happening was when i looked down at the bees, just above the zipper would fold under my chin rather than...

I received my Ultra Breeze full suit yesterday. Today I got 5 nucs and set them up in their permenant hives, and all went well. Then split a hive and I did not get a single sting through the suit...

Charlie, you mentioned that you had both the ultra-breeze and the ML does the ML have the zippers on the legs? that seems to be a really good feature. I will be ordering one or the other in the...

My Grand Dad, and my dad and uncle, and now me, use wood that we find that is deteriorating. We find it in the woods from trees that fell a couple of years ago. Oak works really good. I have not...

I cannot speak from a comparison stand point, but i have the 3100H and will be adding the motor kit this month to get ready for the next flow. The 3100 is a great unit, i was surprised at how well...

Thanks metrosean for the update! That does in fact clear up a lot of concerns and questions for me.

As for the disclaimer, probably one of their legal begals has them position them that way for...

So I guess that the assumption of obtaining Buckets from a verifiable food grade providor would be a good assumption. I like the idea of getting buckets from Food Shops such as Deli's, Bakery's etc....

I ordered some 5 gallon pails from Kelly's and will use them when extracting this weekend. I was told that the 5 gallon buckets in the Home Centers like Lowes and Home Depot were food Grade and...
