Wait for forum member snl to post. I may be mistaken but I seem to remember him saying he had a test hive that he treated daily with OAV as an experiment. He reported no ill effects. I know from...

Yeah I noticed her wings were a little tattered.
Maybe why they were on the ground . All swarms get hit with OAV immediately. I'm not keeping them my friend is going to pick them up this evening....

My yard looked like this the other day. I was brush hogging and decided to mow right up against the hives. The way the hill was I had to be careful backing the tractor up and Just barely caught the...

Hogback, it's funny the wife and I were just talking about how much we miss riding bikes. We used to ride all the time when the kids were younger. Strap some fishing poles and a lunch to the bikes...

Neighbor stopped as he was driving by yesterday to tell me he saw a small swarm flying towards my place earlier in the day. Didn't think much of it, he's not really a bee person I went about my...

I would love to see some pics of your sculptures. I have been wanting to try doing some metal sculptures. I am a novice welder. My experience is pretty much patching up equipment around the farm. I...

I know it's an old thread but new to me. I started out flying control line planes as a kid then went to rc. I had a duraplane too! Big and clunky but could really take a beating. I fly a dji...

Art, not sure how your fall flow is but if my hives were light right now I would be worried and start feeding heavily with 2:1 syrup asap. If you wanted to leave what little honey is left in the...

Where have you been JW? I always got a kick out of your blunt, to the point posts. How are your bees? And yes best of luck to all on the path of Dorian. Hopefully it won't be as bad as they say. ...

The original post is confusing - but - the header does read: "Combine colonies in August?" Colonies means bees, not combs/frames - and most likely both colonies are complete with their Queens as...

Yes. If you're just giving them combs not combining bees. No problem.

"Yeah, I definitely screwed up planning. I could have easily given myself more room, but now I don't feel like pulling up the electric fence posts that I spent so much energy on hammering into the...

When I used the wand type vaporizer I used a jump pack similar to this one.

Maybe it's just me but no way would I eat or serve honey to others that had been contaminated by mouse droppings and urine. If it has been in there long enough to have a litter it has been all over...

Thanks guys. I've always thought of clover as just white Dutch.

The bees are all over this today. There is a white with more oval shaped leaves and yellow flowered one that looks very similar but with pointy serrated looking leaves.

Update. After going through every hive only four had it. My wife checked her notes and it turns out all four hives originated from a trapped swarm from last summer. All of my bees originated from...

Thanks Jeff it was moved, I posted in wrong section. Thought everyone should read this article it is taking a concerning direction.

Interesting article here

I would prefer lower taxes than wasting any money at all. Subsidizing hobbies seems wasteful to me, and we all know the bees don't need saving. At least not the honeybees. I have no dog in this...

I love bees as much as the next guy but if I paid taxes in Virginia this would make me mad. It's like they're looking for ways to waste taxpayer money.
