Hello,

I went to my hives today and noticed bees cleaning the hives and some taking to flight with dead bees. Now I know this is not unusual for some locations, but with snow on the ground, cloudy...

Thanks for the advise. Why would I be discouraged? I am selling good and don't need to live of it. The reason I posted here is the reduced cost if compared to eBay where I pay 11-13% (without any...

Deb, you got it dead on. Why would the most vulnerable, most important part of the cluster be on her own? she is guarded like the crown jewels and better.

Hello Kevin, Mocap.com may help you, I get my caps from them and they have shipped as little as two. Your shipping from the US will be a fraction what I paid.

Ryan, first I welcome you to this forum, but then I have to say: now you take the liberty to mess-up a whole school class or more? Shame on you! Get educated first before you make statements. Some...

Hello jmobee,

I use 1 1/4" K-type copper pipe with a welded plug on the bottom. My latest version is a bottom 3/16 treating tube about 3/8" from the bottom of the bowl and it carries through in...

Oh my, what have I done. MB, I believe more sugar is sold by kg, ton or any other metric weigh one uses then lbs. Lbs is only for a few enlighten nations. Even the good Brit's measure now in metric....

Sorry to rupture your peace, but it is always by weight in my books. I know the old way of volumetric measuring is hard to die, but the weight is what we need (not on our hips).

Well done John :thumbsup:

All has been said that needs to be said, but it is much less hassle if one fills the jars when the honey is extracted, the wax has settled out and has been skimmed-off and one does not need to...

Hello Frank,

You might be killing my OA Vap sales, but what ever helps the bee keepers!

Best wishes to NZ, Joerg

@Oldtimer - any more details on 'how to'?

@logicallycompromised, not clear whom you address. Clearly, if moisture is around 75-80% on top of B1 & particularly B2, all is good, but if B2 increases to 80-90%, their is problems brewing. I have...

@jmobee,

While I agree that it is great to monitor the temperature in the hives, I know by now that it only shows the movement of the bee cluster during winter, the humidity sensor shows the...

Well, Robert, I don't know if that will go through as scientific proof.

I am certain it has been established well enough that 3 gram for a double deep brood box setup is the standard, 1.5 - 2 gram...

Yukonjeff, thank you for the hint with the ashes, sometimes one is to ignorant to think about the simplest things.
