I just got an email from my son in Calif. "Mom is this true?" I will have to ask the folks who would know. The article says a lady working in her yard got stung by a bee and hornet. Both swelled, got infected. She had to go to the Drs. for antibiotics and he told her the next time she gets...

What kind of bees did you get? Mine were late and are just now starting to hatch out. Mine never act like that. I may be pushing it but when I go to put the syrup in I don't wear any protection. They don't come to the back of the hive to get me. I only wear my garb when Wally has been over and we a...

My poor baby hasn't been to my new hives since I've had them about 3 weeks now. She was by the chicken coop and for some reason I wanted to take a peek to see how the top feeder looked. When Myra saw I didn't follow her to the coop she came a runnin' down to the 2 hives. I was concentrating on the ...

You are quite welcome ski, It took me awhile too before I could take the sissors to them. Now that I have the weeds around my year old hedge are no more. Next I will use it around my berry bushes. Ski, weeding is just no fun. lol Black plastic always rips and the weeds end up coming through anyway. ...

:oops: Here comes another (stupid - ??) question but how does having the hive in full sun get rid of this problem? My poor baby girls (when I finally get them that is) will be in partial shade as I have a yard full of oak trees etc. I can't put them in the pasture as that would be dangerous. What is...

I don't have any but I want to get some so I hope it grows here. I don't know why it wouldn't. Anyone here have some?

Is it just me or are there more Bumble bees than usual? Their loud buzz is all over my yard. Being new to the honey bee world,,, are there people that raise bumble bees too?

Had a fox attack and thankfully nothing was taken or killed. One rooster lost his whole back end. (All tail feathers) My dog and I got outside fast enough to stop it from chasing the rooster dowm. Had traps to set so wasn't able to make the meeting. But if anyone needs some just contact me. Kurt, so...

HOW, HOW I ask are we to have a strong hive with one thing after another causing havic? Here's what I plan to do when my bees arrive === The legs that are the stand that the hive will sit on is going to be in a can with oil in it so nothing can crawl up into my hives. Even if it rains the ants and ...

We were told we would be going up to Reidsville in April to view someones bees and I thought do the Practical. Was that ever announced it was canceled??? I didn't see it either. :shock: I'm new to beekeeping and I think the more hands on before I get my bees the more I would understand about them. ...

So Kurt,

What you are saying is I may get my Bees in April, I'll kill them all before I know if I am qualified to even be a beekeeper?? Chuckle, Chuckle.

It's no biggie. Being new to the world of bees I am just curious about a lot of things and peoples opinion on things. I think I will also go with the bottom entrance and if in a couple years when I know more about bees, hives and such maybe then try some new things. Thanks for all your help. :D
