>>>>Wally, these kids are impressive with the hives. Every single one of them does what they need to do and if something is too heavy or difficult for them they bond together like something I've never seen<<<<

Of course, They're my angels.

The sugar shake is, in my opinion, the easiest and best way. It is also the way Don Hopkins, your state inspector, does it.

Sounds like you did everything right. I would give them a week after this cold spell and look in on them again. The dead brood was probably frozen when the cluster became too small to cover them properly. The bees will clean them out and all should be fine. As for the bad pattern and lack of eggs, a...

Very easily. It just takes more feed and maybe a pollen patty or two.

The same as humans, until they find it or perish.

I am going to Reel's to pick up boxes tomorrow, Monday. Let me know if you want anything.

When you cut the caps off the frame of honey and extract what is left in the frame, you get the honey from the extracter and he keeps the wax and honey from the cut off cappings.

Whatever your heart and mind dictates.

Wake up, LH. That was Ski that posted that.
