Heat is terrible here in Western Kentucky as well. After finding two dead hens in this afternoon, I immediately came here for my "what to try next" and noticed many of you in the same boat with battling the high temps. I was just heartsick when I found the girls...only a couple of hours after...

First the chicks, then the bees....that's how it went at our house....and we LOVE it! We started this year with two hives...already we are talking about next year's addition! Happy honey making!
I'm so glad to find this thread! We are VERY new to beekeeping....we've been at it for a whole 5 days now! I anticipate this will be a great resource for advice and cheer leading!
I've only been getting eggs for a week, so I am certainly no expert.....but....it is my understanding that an egg should be about a week old before hard-boiling it. Don't know if that will solve the problem, but a tid-bit of info nonetheless!

Now THAT is priceless! My daughter asked if I was going to gold-plate them.....now there's thought.....maybe a nice shadowbox?
Now, don't you feel better? Your secret is safe with me.
