I would second Dann Purvis
I highly recommend SEMBA's beekeeping class, if you're not aware of it. A prerequisite is to attend SEMBA's spring conference in March. There were over 30 students (each with their own hive on site)...
I ordered medium supers from one of the Bee Blast emails this summer, and also a J hook hive tool. I never got the hive tool, so I called and ML sent a replacement immediately. The boxes were...
I started with 6 packages in April, 1 swarmed and I left that box sitting amongst the others all summer (in hopes another swarm might move in). I dumped the remaining bees in another hive, and never...

He makes and sells the mda splitter nuc box as well.
I'm with Thermwood. Just placed an order and there is a box you check to receive a tracking number.
Jim, I just bought a Bosch refurbished 10" table saw with stand from Bosch.CPO that works very well. Looks like a brand new saw. It came with a decent blade included, which was surprising. I have a...
