I have used other brands, but for me Dadant's are the best. I'll never buy anything else. Best bellows hands down. The spring in the bellows is not too stiff, which doesn't agrivate my carpel tunnel...

I lost interest. My head is only so hard. lol

Hey Oldtimer. How ya been. What you said is one reason I stopped Posting.

If you will notice, if you can, Tailgater is virtually none existent. No conversations going on there. Maybe because those who can go there have left Beesource for Forums where they can more easily...

We are buying the drugs produced there, aren't we Flyer Jim? If we stopped maybe the economy in Honduras would be based on something else making the society there more liveable.

I don't know how...

Comparing what humans do with what honey bees may be interesting but a few things should be considered, Geographic Borders are artificial, created by humans. And bees tolerate the presence of many...

I can't site a source, only my memory, that during the times of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson they both wrote of this idea that "white man's flies preceded the European settlers arrival".

Hohoho

R u getting back the snow we recently lost?

In preparing pallets of hives for transport I have taken honey off of hives with six inches of snow on the ground and more falling. You should have seen the bees clustered on top of my head and on my...

I agree with old-time beek.

Educate potential customers? My honey speaks for itself. :)

In China, not in the US.

The rack and chute that I saw reminded me of a tubular steel set of legs like a tall tv tray stand with one set of legs taller than the other so when you set the super of honey on it the super was at...

If there is a flow on, there is no robbing. If there is robbing, there isn't a flow on. Plenty of robbing occurs taking honey off with fume boards if there isn't at least a mild flow on.

How do you spell carpel tunnel syndrome?

If you are pulling honey during a nectar flow you can simply stand the supers on end in the yard and by the time you have the last supers off of the hives most of the bees will have left the supers...

Once you are there get the work done. Often getting to the yard is the hardest part of the job.

What's a Tanzanian Top Bar Hive? Never heard of one of those. In what way are they different from a Kenya Top Bar Hive or just any run of the mill Top Bar Hive?

FarmerDave, bees are dying all the time and they usually do it away from the hive. If you kept your hives on a parking lot you would see all of the dead bees that you don't see dead in the grass in...

Actually he's Michael Palmer, PhD.

Doctors don't know all that much about allergic reactions to bee stings. How and why someone becomes allergic is still a mystery, from what I have seen. Doctors are going to tell you to carry an...

Here in NY there hardly is any Apiary Inspection, so knowing how any practice has affected AFB is hard to determine. As far as what most commercial outfits do, I have no reason to think that they...

Lurking? Varroa/Virus kills colonies before AFB gets a chance to crop up.

As far as an organic method of AFB control I would say visual inspection of brood combs and not buying used equipment...
