I will not be able to assist. I am picking up a package that day. I hate to miss out on the opportunity.

Dependent on time and date, I could bee available. It would be cool to see since I got to see Wally's presentation!

I would be interested in participating in a trap out.

Spent Saturday with Wally and Kurt. Thanks to both, I learned a lot.

I would take it off. I am sure someone with more experience can verify that.

Neat little article even if the title is a bit misleading. The link is here.

Great pictures! I caught the last half of your presentation at the Randolph Co. meeting. Is it pretty much what will be at the Guilford so I can catch the first half?

It has lessened if not quite entirely. So I think things are well. I put a new baggie feeder on last night and from the little time I was in the hive things seemed active. They had stuck one corner of the baggie down to the frames. But it was no problem to change out otherwise. Lots of pollen-laden ...

Sounds interesting for a novice beekeeper. I saw a picture a couple of weeks ago in the High Point Enterprise of one of the people there using honey drizzled on top of the hive rather than using smoke. Has anyone done this? Does it work as well as smoke?

This weekend my son Luke, 8 years old, and I checked to see how our new package of bees was doing. We noticed that there were a lot of brown spots on the hive shortly after installing the package.

Thanks. I hope others post as well. It seemed, from my limited experience, like a pretty large group.

Do you still need some assistance? I can't help this weekend but could the following. All the experience I can get I think will help me be a better friend to my bees. PM me.

Yippee! Passed the written portion! I got my notification today. Think it will make a difference to the bees I pick up tomorrow?

Next step work with the girls so I can pass the practical.

Discovery has an article on the losses of bees here http://news.discovery.com/animals/honey ... oblem.html

Outstanding. Thanks.

At one point during the 2010 class, a list for people interested in having a mentor was passed around. Has anything happened with that list? It would be great to meet briefly with someone prior to installing a package for the first time.

When should we expect this email? I haven't seen anything so far.

When is there an opportunity to do the practical portion of the Certified Beekeeper exam?
