This isn't used but my 4-H kids ordered from Pigeon Mountain Trading last year and the suits were excellent. Under $60.00 for suit and attached veil/hat.

I think you are right about weighing chunks as it melts easy once in the mix. Just looked up weight conversion and 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons. So I think after I get this stuff cleaned up I will...

I am grating it to measure portions for different recipes. I would have wax mess everytime I make something melting it each time, another cup & spoon would be wax mess and grating one time...

Just wondering if there are any shortcuts to cleaning a grater after grating the wax for lip balm or other products. I used my electric salad grater to do all my wax at once as it's such a messy...

I'm not a seasoned beekeeper and yea I guess that's what you would call what I'm trying to accomplish, a mating nuc. Do I need to keep entrances separate like having the middle area of the entrance...

I was going to put 4 frames on each side and feeder(if need be). Frame of nectar, pollen, frame with queen cells, larvae & brood to keep nurse bees. So yes, 1/2 on each side.

I would like to take a 10 frame deep and put a divider board in the middle so that I can have 2 frames with queen cells in the works at once, one on each side. This year so many queens just quit...

Once you try this it's a keeper.

Mix the honey is part of the water but have it warm to melt...

Riverbee1, did you find a great lip balm recipe? Looking at making some now that I have some beewax. Would love to get a beeks response on this topic also that is a great recipe.

I pulled 3 lg bins of honey to extract last August 2011 and didn't get it extracted. It has mold looking film like Fliese explained. I had it stored in the dinning room by a patio door where cold...

When spraying the recipe of essential oils vs varroa, do you spray over everything on the frame. Over larvae, brood or what? I'm going to try it.

I had very docile hives all summer. About a month ago I removed a queen from a hive for someone. Went into another hive for over 2 hours looking for that queen, removed a bunch of capped brood to...

David, so you have froze frames and they don't sugar up? I just figured freezing would cause them to thicken to sugar. Does the time matter about freezing as I will not extract till sometime in...

I Thank You all so much for the input. this is my 2nd year beekeeping and we rarely see it this hot with humidity in northern MN. I will sleep better knowing they are normal. Carol

Today we had very humid temps in the 90's and a light sprinkle. Noticed one hive all bunched at the entrance and a ball on the corner hanging down the size of a softball. Does this mean anything I...

I just spent about 10 hours researching buckwheat for bees. What I found was old varieties that have a gray or silver hull. I just ordered Japanese buckwheat that is a old variety and supposed to...

Thanks all to my question. I did order from Georiga. In MN we are in 70's 80's. Just don't have time to spare to get brood back in the cells. I had a swarm and was left queenless. I had queen...

I had queen shipped and didn't arrive till day 8 and was dead. A new queen was mailed and day 4 no queen. Tomorrow is Sun and Monday is day 6, will she make it? If she is alive on day 6 will she...

Waveland Drone, I made your recipe today and have cooked it two times. Mine is sugar crystaling up on me. I might be stirring it too long. Cooked to 240. What does the consistency look like when...

I did read somewhere about different varieties of buckwheat have different nectar flows. And one had a very good day nectar flow. So you lucky dog, you have the good stuff. You will have to save...

I had buckwheat last year. The bees only feed on it in the morning, then the nectar goes down. But the bees did love it. I found that I could see a difference in color on the frames but with the...

I have yet to find a question that Beekeeping for Dummies hasn't answered with easy to understand language. I think everyone in our Beekeepers Club has recommended Beekeeping for Dummies to newbies....

Charla, I am also starting a 4-H Beekeeping project this year. The first meeting is going to be on going over equipment, what it is called and general info on Beekeeping. I am new to Beekeeping...

Brac, do you or anyone else know where to get the screen on the bottom of the plastic uncapping bin. Been looking but unable to find any. Anyone - where are there thin stainless sheets for...

Thanks for sharing the pics. Our Beekeepers had a booth at the fair this year for the first time and won the Fair Assoc. Plaque for Best Commercial Booth. Your pics gave us some new ideas for the...
