Don Hopkins and Will Hicks came by to inspect the new nuc yesterday. I had them look at the hive I started last year as well. Both were strong and disease and pest free. :D Don noted that the old hive would soon swarm, so he suggested I go ahead and split it. His advice was, if I could find the quee...

Doug, it really is a shame. On checking, my bees seem to be recovering. Workers are bringing in pollen, which I take it to be a good sign. I think that because the snow came directly into the opening of the hive, it's possible the ice got into the inside of the hive -- at least in my case. Next time...

New as I am to beekeeping, I have tried to find photos to show me the difference between Russian and Italian bees -- I'm assuming that there must be some differences you can see just by looking. I was taking photos of bees on my backyard clover. There are marked differences between the two in the ph...

Thanks, Wally, I am traveling this week and next. Let me get back to you when I return.
