Thank you so much for the bar of soap.

I love the clean scent and it makes my skin feel soft.
Do you have more available? What's the cost?
You have to share your soap making secrets with me

If you haven't tried Wallys soap you should!

I received this e-mail from NOD Apiary Products and thought I would share it with you. Hi fellow beekeepers: I know you are all very interested in the Mite-Away Quick Strips. Some have mentioned how little information there is out there about it. Well, it's a brand new product, and not many have use...

I lost a hive this week. One of my minnesota hygienic hives! :( From posts on Beesource, I believe my dead out was from what some call "cold starved" They had plenty of stores around and above them plus dry sugar on newspaper above the top bars. They had ventilation to prevent moisture bui...

dfain,
That makes two of us,
I'm betting/hoping your girls are still alive!
Please, keep us informed!

I would repeat the ear to the hive test changing sides, the cluster maybe on the opposite side.. I would check the entrance and make sure it's not blocked by dead bees. If it is blocked, I would use something (a small stick) and gently, (so I don't harm any live bees that might be near the inside of...

I like the suntex logo.

Thanks ski & Jacobs, glad you like it. :) I was talking with Marc about the hat logo, he likes the logo on the last hat offered by Guilford county and I agree with him. It looks nice on the hat! I don't have a picture of the logo but, it is similar to the original logo ski posted minus the backg...

May have another logo to share soon.

Thanks for the reminder. I plan to move 2 nucs tomorrow morning, giving them better wind protection and a little more daily sun. All 12 hives are surviving as of today but, time will tell. I did lose a hive during treatment this fall. The 1st of many I'm sure. I believe they absconded but, they did ...

Please bring extra,
I would like to try them too!!

I'm curious as well!
How do you set up an observation hive in Winter,
