Really Andrew? Was that necessary?

Eric, I hope the best for you, doesn't seem like the law is fair to Florida Honeybees...Africanized or not.

I sure hope so. The professor was excellent and had 30+ years in the film industry. He really helped fine tune the film.

I had been in that particular hive earlier in the day to check for signs of a laying queen. It's been queenless for about a month. No luck. So I took up an offer from a firend who'd offered me a...

I've been stung quite a few times in the past, just a month ago I was popped about 10 times within a 3 day period with more than half on the same day (due to my own stupid decisions). I've always had...

I started preparing for winter today. My understanding was I needed to bring my hive back down to 2 deeps, check the colony's strength and determine if I need to feed them. Now this hive has...

I hate killing them anytime...but sometimes it seems unpreventable.
Am I not being careful enough, or is this simply part of beekeeping?

How many is too many?

You're the second person to mention this and I was not aware of it. It's not the only place they would be working though, they don't call Augusta the Garden City for nothing. Would these Chemicals be...

Beeware,

Thanks for making a first year beek feel dumb. I thought I had the freedom to ask even silly questions on this forum in order to better understand my new hobby.

I was really hoping you might get some relief from...

Wear eye glasses in 100+ degree weather without a a strap to keep them on.

No problems. Hopefully that will hold them over til I get back. Thanks for the input guys!

I'll only be opening the top and pouring, the bees will not have a way of getting to me except via Front entrance.

I'm going out of town for about a week. Leaving at about 3am. I realized my top feeder was empty late this afternoon and whipped up a batch of syrup. Will I be ok pouring it in before I leave? Are...
