Hello, Anyone have any experience in constructing foundation molds. I seem to know several ways how not to make one. Any successes? Anyone have experience with...
To Whom It May Concern: Does anyone have a gadget or idea to help keep honeybees from being a nuisance collecting water from people's pools? Let me know. I've...
I've had this problem too. It stopped when i served the bees plenty of water close to the hives. The gadget in this case would be a bucket (or rather a bunch...

Hi Shane Provide water closer to home. A tap or hose constantly dripping onto a board or similar that the bees can land on (something that won't get overgrown)...

Mark Coldiron referred to the pattern being reversed on the other side of the rolled foundation. Sorry Mark, you are mistaken. The pattern is the same on both...

No, you misunderstood. I said if you use plastic foundation as press plates, the resulting wax foundation image will be reversed. What I mean by this is,...
The Herring foundation press used 2 embossed plastic sheets correctly orientated relative to each other. As you suggested, a mangle was used to impress the...

Mark. That's right. The bulge is formed by the joint between the walls of three surrounding cells. On the other side, behind that joint, you have the hollow of...

I had thought about that before. Making a queen trap using a queen pheromone and maybe a small queen excluder on the exit so the worker bees that are also...

Instead of spending half an hour trying to find the unmarked queen to mark her (or to replace her), I would like to put a cage in the hive. I expect that when...

I know there are some here who can probably give me advice on simple balancing of a blower rotor. I have several Dadant blowers and they seem to shake apart at...

Hi Allan & Others,
It may be worth considering that there would be a lot of vibration from the motor looking at the pictures would it be better to add metal...
Its Long story from Egypt, its summary is : 1. my honey fails in tests specially polarization test. 2. I produce 5 KG/Hive only. Maybe I make a mistake in...

For me, I use gallon glass jars over the inner cover if I'm just feeding a few splits or a weak colony or two. Otherwise, I feed the hole apiary with plastic...

All my feeders are top hive feeders. They hold about 2.5 gallons each. Made of wood with screen to allow the bees to get to the mix. It is also nice to...
