Will bring it!

I will be bringing dozens of decorative soap molds to the next beekeepers meeting.
These are in excellent shape and have been used.

I hope this isnt mine!

I appreciate it, but I guess I will go up another day. Unloading is fairly difficult and time consuming.

thanks,

I guess a couple of barrels of corn syrup is out?!!!

Would you be growing the honey for sale or bee consumption?
I often have customers ask for buckwheat honey but those customers are few.
best of luck.

Ron: I have owned this extractor and know many people who have the same one. It was a good extractor but I traded up and got a larger one. My biggest concern is that it has some sort of mirrored finish on the outside that started to rust after a few years of use. I am only talking small spots but st...

Many would tell you that bees are attracted to any foul smelling water simply because it is. It would seem that the bee's sense of smell has something to do with their choice of water.

I just ran across a study out of California which stated the following: Beekeepers reported the following reasons for colony losses: starvation, 32%; weather, 29%; fall weakness, 14%; mites, 12%; poor queens, 10% I find it interesting because it parrallels with my overwintering presentation at GCBA ...

Wally is absolutely right. If you want your feelings hurt, just wait until you cook a couple of hives. It is always preferable to move them with the entrance open if possible. The bees will not crowd the opening trying to get out and suffocate. Of course to do this you need to move them on the back ...

Jim: You got it! THe ol' brick says it all. I used to try and track mites, mice and everything else but finally concluded that a brick properly placed can give you a read on a hive without ever getting out of the truck. I am sure that if I was a queen breeder I would choose to take better notes but ...

Drew:

No magic number!
Any tighter and you will not be able to work the bees well from my experience.
You will however get a lot of drifting unless you paint different colors or mark with symbols. The end hives will probably always have more bees, but truthfully it doesnt really matter.

This application might be just the ticket for some beekeepers. As for my personal 2 cents... I do not beleive that this will be the wave of the future. Recordkeeping is only as good as the record keeper. Information out only as good as information in. Most persons with more than a few hives will res...
