2 packages of Carnolians were due to my local distributor on April 15th.

First delayed by 2 weeks, then an additional 3 weeks. Now due in a couple weeks.

Weather was the excuse, the packages...

I was thinking about filling the inside with expanding foam and just running a track up to the tray openings. I'll see how they handle it this year. This is the learning experience year.

My search-fu is not functioning today it seems. My first bees will be showing up in about 3 weeks, so I have no practical knowledge of what's about to happen, only anecdotal education.

I will be...

I'll have to look at the transformer. It's up at my parents, I always see the train come out when my brother brings his kids to town, I figured that would be an easy way to do this. I also have a...

If I take an old transformer from an O gauge train set, can I use this as an embedding device?

I'm assuming I can hook up some wired alligator clips to either end of the foundation wire, (wiring...

I can't believe nobody mentioned this one:

Bacon

I started hunting ruffled grouse on an Ithaca 20 Ga. Dad used his 16. We never had a problem with either grouse or woodcock. Both pump actions. The way I always understood it was a semi...

Ch... Nice find, that's along the lines of what I was originally thinking. Of course, now you guys got me thinking about the wall idea.

Hey... If you're gonna dream, dream big!

I see what you're saying, How controllable can I get with directing comb building? With your idea, I'm thinking deeper joists (12-18" in the hive,) and...

Remember, we are talking about the Federal government here..

I have a vision, now I need to see if people think it's feasible.

Here's how I came about to this point. I was thinking about building an observation hive, sometime in the distant future, to go...

Big 'ole "Meh" from me then. You can try to show them that it is best to support their neighbors. Use the "How do you know it's pure honey if you don't know your beekeeper" stickers.

I assume...

The mantra I hear a lot is "buy your zip code." Which is insanity if you ask me, there are NO farms in my zip code, and some codes are large in rural areas and one building in a city.

If all your...

Wow... Hardy to zone 4?!! Pretty. I read 18-24", but how wide do they get, and are they thick, bushy type plants like tomatoes or tall and thin like mint?

ok.. A bit of interest. I'm headed out on vacation next week. and I'm swamped with work this week, so I won't be working on this for a bit. However,

I finished a tag for 'Raw, Strained.' I'm...

Not so much high-pressure filtration, and I don't want this to devolve into a debate on straining/filtration/pollen content/etc... I'm thinking about the gunk that I would collect after straining if...

Is part of the multi-layered defense strategy the radioactive storage? Or is that much like me just buying an alarm company sticker for my window? If so, I'm not sure bears know that symbol, maybe...

You'll get lots of different opinions there, but I've heard of putting them on a 5-year cycle. YMMV

From the pollen charts I've seen, when it blooms, it's one of the TOP producers, and hits real early. The problem is, it doesn't bloom every year, and there are any number of factors that initiate...

Pacify the population, it's the cheapest amount spent for the maximum level of appeasement. It also has the fastest results. People see the spray, mosquitoes go away for a couple days, people say...

Bee 1: Pssst... Ethyl, we're all thinking of swarming later, you in?

Bee 2: Sure, I'm in! But there's no way I'm going if Sally is going! I can't stand the way she exaggerates the distance on...

I wasn't sure if this would have been better for the commercial forums, but I'd think that this question applies to 100+ hive operations too, so...

After extracting and straining, what is left is...

Not sure how much you want to spend on labels, but you could look into heat shrink-fit labels.

If they find violations, as in, you are not doing things 'their way,' they start by issuing warnings of things you need to fix, and you have a certain period of time to correct the issues, and they...

Sell it labeled as "Now with extra protein added." Not sure what to do about the nutrition info though...
