Hello everyone it's been a long time since I've posted. I hope everyone it's doing well.  I am having trouble keeping my bees alive. I can't figure out what is killing them. I moved to new place in pleasant garden and that's when the trouble started. I went from 7 to 0. Got two last year nursed them...

That's very similar to a situation I have. What did you use for your brackets?

Wally- any suggestions on doing a trap out 20' up on a brick wall? What is the best way to get a hive body near the cone?

Thank you so much Wally. Really great explanation.

I had a hot hive. Finally those killers died. I requeened two times never helped. If they didn't die I was going to dump them and requeen I never could figure out why they were so mean.

I need about 5 gallons of honey. It feels silly to ask on a bee forum but my bees are not making enough. I'm looking for chemical free and local to Greensboro area. Does anybody have any and how much? You can email me at drew.grim@gmail.com

That's where I must have gone wrong. I gave them all full pollen patties.
Do you mean you put the patty between the frames? Or just directly above the cluster?

the hives had good amounts of bees i would say the cluster was covering three frames in the smaller and about 6 on the larger ones. mite count was low in the fall. the weird thing was they were all under the pollen patties. its like by putting the patties above the cluster killed them. it seems like...

just went in to check my hives. i started the winter with 7 strong hives. 1 hive was two hive bodies and a super full. opened it up today and it was empty not a bee to be seen. the super was still 10 frames full of honey. the rest of the hives two weeks ago i opened on a very warm day (70 degrees, e...

can you split a hive that is packed out into more than two hives? for instance create a few nucs from it? think its too early to do that?

ah man. i didnt realize you were selling those. i think ive got it figured out for now. thanks though!

i have more honey than i was expecting and i need some buckets to put it into. does anyone know of somewhere i could get some locally? i have about 14 gallons.

still opening the tree tomorrow? can i bring two kids to watch?

thats what i was thinking. thanks!

what does it mean if a hive isnt drinking sugar water? i have had about a gallon on a hive for 2 weeks and i would day that they have maybe drunk about 1/4 of it if that. its a small one hive body hive.

i have a pretty strong hive that is laying in the super that i had from last year. i am thinking about taking that super off and starting a hive with it. i have drones in my hives now so i was going to let the new hive make its own queen. any thoughts or suggestions? how many frames of brood would i...

do you think its warm enough to checker board if need be?

Got into my hives today. they are all looking ok but not ready for supers or anything, most of them are about a hive body and a half full. is that strong or weak for this time of year? I gave them pollen patties in feb. and have been feeding them as much as i can. is there anything else that i can d...
