can't figure out what's killing my bees
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.

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

Re: How to do a trap out.
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?

Re: Hot bees.
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.

Honey
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

Re: Deadouts
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?

Re: Deadouts
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...

Re: splitting
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?
