This hive is a split from last year with a new-banked queen in the fall. I did a might check in August and another this fall and showed only a few mites. At least nothing that concerned me. With...

OK I will do that tuesday when I get off duty.

Thanks Orion

What about some recipes ? Anyone have some good ones?

I found a couple of bees walking around outside the hive with significantly deformed wings. Lot’s of activity at the entrance with loads of pollen being brought in. Should I do a mite count or sugar...

I'm Jealous. Our deer season is over but at least I still have year round pig hunting. I should be heading out next week. :)

Orion

I'm gonna try that recipe...
Thanks Indee

Thanks! :)

I think the big gripe is people do not want to come here and wade through the P&R baloney. Just remove those topics altogether.

Yep! I lost two hives from yellow jackets this year. I was away for a little over two weeks and was not able to reduce the entrance in time. I had noticed a few yellow jackets attempting entry and...

Yea! That Murphy character is really funny! That is if Murphy poking fun at someone else… :rolleyes:

Great story :D

When I go to school I take entomology to learn about insects. I don’t sit in the class to be thought other topics. I take political science, the history of religion and modern debate specifically to...

I come to this site to learn and talk about bees and beekeeping. I don’t want Political, 2nd amendment, Religion views and other topics in my face. I can go to other groups specific for those topics...

I would also like to mention the yellow jackets live in the ground and are the meat eaters. We have wasps, and hornets that build their nests above ground too. The buggers that hi us are the...

Yep… that’s them. When I checked for mites before leaving and noticed the yellow jackets, that’s exactly what they were doing. The bottom inspection board also had legs and what not on it. That’s...

No they were both strong. I checked for mites just before I left and there were few. Hope I can catch a late swarm. I hope... I hope... :rolleyes:

Just got back in town after some fires and what not. Went and checked my two hives… One totally gone. The other I am sure wont last long. I had the entrance reduced to the three inch or so setting...

Yea… Yea… California for one and Marin for two! All common sense is stacked against me here.
The neighbors are down about a ten-foot slope to there house and I have a six-foot fence in front of the...

Yes… That’s what I figure too. But she wouldn’t / doesn’t see it that way. I will just move them and we will see what happens. Maybe we will have to call CSI if one of them gets stung again and get a...

His wife doesn’t like them and one of his kids got stung on the finger. The bees were there long before they moved in and I think he kept her at bay until the finger sting. I’ve been giving them...

My neighbor says I have to move my bees. I will be moving them (2 full hives) across the yard about 150 feet. Any ideas on the best way to move them? Timing ext…

Thanks Jim

GREAT PHOTO! Wow...

Thanks!

I would like to buy a small radial extractor. I think 4-6 frames is fine. What do you feel is a good extractor for the price? I look at all of the and just don't know what the better ones would be.
