Anthony

Thank you for the info. I do wear a baseball cap. Actually, I maybe in the other situation. I bought a suit that is too large for me maybe by two sizes because the price was so right. I think I...

Hello - I have a humble bee jacket with a zip on fencing veil. I have bee getting stung on the chin and ears. Humble bee sells other veils that will fit the jacket such and round and square. Are...

Thank you Matthew - That makes sense that they only need so much drone comb. Do you only cut and crush the drone comb and extract the other comb or leave it or crush it also?

so after repeated use of this method, a hive might end up with almost all drawn comb having some drone brood cells on it. Do you just leave it that way or do you remove the drone comb? Can this...

Maybe use a band clamp and then wire and take the clamp off. Also, does anyone thing heatsink paste will hold up? the stuff used to transfer heat from a power supply to an aluminum heatsink.

I know that when the supers are blocked or removed no OA crystals will settle on them, but the hive can have 10s or thousands of bees that have crystals on them and they might be all over the hive...

Hello - I had a hive starve. Found out today. A lot of bees. I shook a lot out but there are a lot still in cells. If I put these frames on another hive, will they clean them out?

Thanks Matt , that helps me a lot. This was above and beyond cutting your plastic foundation when you normally don’t use it for this

Thank you,

Thanks Lee - did you build a special tray that slips in above the screen in the bottom board to hold the wand vaporizer? Do you have any pics?

Anthony

Anybody using a wand OAV to treat from the top. Will the vapors fall through the hive? I want to do this for two reasons. With a clear top I can see the action and when it is done and no chance of...

Would this approach be appropriate for my situation?

Two hives - 1 with 3 medium boxes, 1 with 2 medium boxes
Both hives have mostly drawn comb
I have no extra drawn comb
I am using plastic...

Sorry my post above had a typo in it. I meant has anyone used a 3/8” od outlet tube. As mentioned it is thick walled. Ticker than a normal copper water pipe.

Anthony

Has anyone used a 3/16” outside diameter outlet tube? I have some from an old faucet and it is a lot stiffer and kind of thick walled than the 1/4” tube I have that came in a coil.

Anthony

Thank you for the video. Does any of the OA that is in liquid for before it vaporizes roll into the fan or out of the nozzle?

Anthony

Lburou - You have not had any issues with the Blue Demon sticking to the copper? I went to the amazon link you provided and the responses to the questions made me think it would not work on copper. ...

Do you still grind the inside out a little more on the caps you buy?

Looking forward to hearing about the other caps.

I was thinking about using a 1-1/4" copper cap that I flare the edges out...

Johno - How long do you mocaps last?

Master fish - I know what you mean. They are nasty in August and September. My first year I requeened in September because I thought something was wrong.

I live in north Texas. I have made splits and added purchased queens. I have been concerned about Africanized bees that maps show would be in this area and a little north of me. I have not heard...

RBCofficer - please post a picture of you compactor

Can you use plastic foundation in the empty frames instead of just empty frames? Would it help with a hole cut in it?

Anthony

I can see that working but i I would try it if the following failed since it has more moving parts. If I were to make one, I would maybe try something like the sb600 with a pot. I would try placing...
