I am intrest by APIDICTOR and electric diagram of site beesource.com is very old,I want to find a new diagram and also I want to know opinion about that...
Hi People, Is the "apidictor" anything more than a modern myth of beekeeping? Does anybody use one? ... From: "iuliancristescu" <iuliancristescu@...> ...
Less a myth than a legend. They did exist, and an old circuit (with an obsolete tuning tube) exists on BEE-L. The science looks sound. I've not come across...
At last, my chance to show off! The original research was done in the 1940' and 50's by a friend and colleague of mine, a BBC engineer named Eddie Woods. His...

I work as an electrical engineer and have, for a couple of years, been thinking about making an apdictor circuit. A number of concepts come to mind. The most...

Although the notched filters at the various apidictor frequencies is easy for someone with a background in electronics, for the rest of us, we need a circuit...
Hi people, The methods I have seen for 2 queen hives are Method 1: bottom brood box then a queen excluder a honey box a queen excluder then another brood box...
Shouldn't it be a simple matter to use a Personal computer with a microphone and some software which could alert you if the required frequency is heard for the...
Hi all Rex boys sent me the filter characteristics some time ago, and I still have not got them up on the web. I have been somewhat busy for some time, but I...
I'm not familiar with a color organ kit. But it makes me think of possibly being able to modify a handheld guitar tuner. These devices respond to different...

Trotting a pc connection out to the beeyard makes it much more complicated than necessary. And with the wide range of frequencies, high and low filters on...
What a color organ basically does is either attach to a speaker output, or have a mic built into it. It divides the frequency spectrum into three ranges,...
Hi Pete I do not use them currently, but I "had a go" at duplicating Snelgrove's testing about 15 years ago. The methods work OK, but they require much ...
For the benefit of those who are looking for filters, the specification of the ones you need are:- 1) A high-pass filter that rejects all frequencies below...

hey all, just wanna find out if anyone has any easy ideas how to build a honey extractor? i only have 2 hives so small is good. every year i just let the honey...
Squash w/ potato masher? (this destoroys comb, which you then melt for other projects.) Heat slightly before draining? Or, sell the honey in the comb or cut...
Karen. Selling granulated honey as cut comb was frowned upon in our beekeeping association, not quite the thing to do, you know. One problem is that if you...

I've seen the same done to clean out extracting equipment -- it does tend ot end with quite a few dead bees. Of course at that time of year, most would die by...
Several years ago a single frame extractor was sold for about $50US. It was a stainless steel box about six inches longer than a frame with two eye bolts on...
I have a 1915 book about beekeeping in India which shows a single frame extractor. Imagine a 3 foot length of iron rod about 1 inch diameter, sticking up from...
