Thanks, just caught a small swarm and was thinking about feeding

I read on the Michael bush website I can dry fern pure cane sugar but all I have is c&h ????

So i found 11 quart jars in my garage probably 5-10 years old. I really have no idea. All of it is dark and crystallized, some have lots of bubbles, some looks layered, and some look like whitish...

Used bee-quick for my first time and all I can say is wow. Compared to the old brush/shake method, well theres really no comparison.:D

I would just let them be. They'll eventually raise they're own queen if they don't have one. It's not crazy to keep them in a normal back yard just make sure your neighbors are cool with it. I...

Thanks for the link. It makes it look pretty easy.

What's the standard method of doing the cut out? Rubber bands?

So can I just add a super with strips of foundation or try to fix the mess?

So i caught a swarm and hived it in a medium super. I broke the wedge off the top bar and turned it sideways to serve as a guide and today i was startled to see all 10 frames with drawn comb but...

It's an awesome book. A must have for any new beekeeper like myself and to top things off, he's always online and very helpful on this forum. Big thumbs up to Michael Bush...

1/4" I think That's what I've read.

Great pics topdog17:thumbsup:

I caught a swarm last week Monday in a 5 medium nuc, and has been doing fine. I caught what I believe to be the afterswarm yesterday in a 10 medium box . I relocated both to my property since they...

Yes it is

There were bees foraging

Thanks for the calculated / detailed response .

I've read that the bee vac kills many bees. What would you say about your experience ?

How would I be able to tell if they have a queen if the hive has empty foundationless frames ?

I caught a fairly large swarm that was hanging from a tree last Monday, using a 5 medium nuc. Today I caught another swarm almost in the same place but landed on the floor 3 feet from the tree. The...

I have a hive that I caught last July. It's in a single deep. It swarmed last week Monday and since I've been noticing dead drones on the entrance. Today I counted 8. Everyday since then. There have...

What type of glue do you use?

Thanks for the video. Think I could use a syringe to substitue the fastener?

Thanks...Thats the answer I was looking for. Wasnt sure if the glue would bond well.

Would using a glue gun be fine ? Do I need 1 popsicle stick in the middle or a couple across the top? Thanks for the responses :thumbsup:

I read from your website that foundation strips were fine and since my father use to do the same I was going that route. Now that you say to use the wood strips , I was curious about using popsicles...
