Welcome to another Tarheel.

I caught a swarm from one of my hives on 3/25/12 and placed them in a nuc box. I was fixing to combine them with another hive because I thought they were queenless. I checked them today and she had...

I had two hives swarms after my best attempt of preventing it. Like the saying goes, education is expensive no matter how you get it. I caught both swarms and placed them in nucs. I would like to...

Looking to buy bulk bees. Thanks for any suggestions.

Early for us. I checked the other hives and removed a queen and brood because of a swarm cells. I supered the other hives on Thursday and went back and looked to see if they were drawing it and one...

Farmer called today and said that something is going on with the bees. Got there as fast as I could but they did not settle where I could find them. They were from a swarm I caught last year. My zip...

I have both but use the jacket 95% of the time. I wore the suit when I first got started along with gloves. Now I just wear the jacket and veil.

I dip a Q tip in the bottle and rub in around the entrance and then place the Q tip in a zip loc bag and leave it partially open in the bottom of the box. This method has worked for me.

I am looking for 25 packages in NC for April if possible.
Thanks

A friend called me about removing a hive of bees from an abandon homeplace. The bees are in the wall and they appear to be between two studs and go from about two feet off the ground to about six...

Four for Four here in Concord North Carolina. Checked on them today and all of them were bringing in pollen. Peaked in on them and everything looks fine. Good luck to everyone and Merry Christmas.

The inspector said we were dealing with Nosema Ceranae. They explained that you would not see very much spotting on the hives. We decided as a club that the club would pay for the treatments and...

We had our monthly club meeting last night and members are reporting a 25% loss already. When they check the hives there are plenty of stores but there will be few bees to none. Sometimes there will...

Looking for honey from the Piedmont area of NC. I am a first year beekeeper and we are wanting to make some Christmas baskets with bee products to give as gifts. Thanks

I am a first year beekeeper and on the advice of the gentleman that has been helping me, I treated my four colonies five days ago. They all are in two deeps. I was able to go back today and check the...

Looking to buy 5 gallons of honey in the Charlotte NC or surrounding area. I will provide the container.

Thanks

Mine have been staying out on the front of the hive all night for the past couple of weeks. I inspected them today and everything is fine.

I use roundup and spray in the evening just before dark. I am usually spraying grass. I have not seem any problems and the bees are doing very well.

I caught a small swarm several weeks ago. The queen started laying soon after. They did not take much sugar water and the flow is almost over here. The problem is that they are slow to draw comb. I...

A friend of mine did a cut out and gave me some comb. I am going to use some of it in swarm traps. How should I store the rest of it until I need it.
Thanks

I installed 5 frame nucs and they each had two frames of older brownish black comb. after they move into the upper deep, can I change those frames out. What is the best way to do this. What do I...

I caught a swarm this week and left in the trap on one frame of drawn comb and four frames with no foundation just a starter strip. When I put them hive after five days, they had drawn out two frames...

Worked the nucs that I installed on 4-22-11. I placed a deep on one of them last weekend and they have drawed out three frames in the upper. I placed the a deep on the other one today. Both hives...

I assume that it is from a feral hive. Other than my two hives, which have not swarmed ( new Nucs) the closest hive that I know of are about two miles away.
