I've grown datura in my flowerbed for several years and the mason bees have always been crazy about it. I've had bees for 3 summers now and this is the first year I've seen the honeybees all over...

Thanks, I'll be sure to do that. So is there any real worry that an average, healthy kid could get sick, or is it just a matter of covering one's backside?




LOL, that would be hard on my...

I'm going to be doing a lesson on honey bees for a group of kids K-6th grade and I am wondering if it would be advisable to let them sample my raw honey? I know babies aren't supposed to have it,...

Thanks for taking a look. Yes, there was no capped brood at all. I am going to look at them again Tuesday to be sure that there aren't any eggs/small larvae. There definitely weren't any readily...

I think you're right, frazzledfozzle. I did feed them fondant this spring. I didn't expect it to look like that. So, no scary foulbrood, but I still wonder what's going on with the queen.

Sorry about that! Should work now... http://s860.photobucket.com/albums/ab166/journey11/No%20sign%20of%20the%20Queen/

I'm on my second summer with bees. I am very green! This is a hive I was given as a started hive and they did supercede once last summer. The constant rain and bad weather has kept me from getting...

Thanks David, I'd like to see it.

Sorry I forgot to mention, the dotted lines were where I was planning to set the posts in concrete. I only have one area along a fenceline to place my hives (we're on one acre), so it would be a...

Hi. I am working on this design for a new hive stand I want to build and need some advice on how to put it together so it will be sufficient to bear the weight.

This is what I've got so far,...

:doh: Have mercy on a newbie, just an innocent spelling mistake! :p

Thanks everyone for your advice! I was really puzzled on this and don't want to mess up and split the joints on my new deeps....

Thanks everyone! I've got some 8D's that I'll go ahead and use.

I am going into my second year with my bees and had to order some things for this year. I got them as a started hive and haven't had to build anything until now. I'm getting ready to assemble a...

This post has been more helpful for me than the random bits of info I was able to find on the internet...

I got stung by a wasp yesterday and didn't think much of it as I have been stung before by...

I'm a 32 year old SAHM with a 2.5 year old daughter and a wonderful husband who shares my goals of making the most of the one acre "farm" that we have. I have horses (on my dad's farm), dogs and...
