    The Honey Factory

    It gives a better air flow by increasing venting where the inner cover has that little notch that does nothing more than give them another entrance. Two 1/4" blocks on the back corner increased the flow area by roughly 56" tapering front to back. Granted it tapers from 0 to a 1/4" but the...

    The Honey Factory

    We have 10 days of 90+ degrees coming in, pulled the inner covers and shimmed the back of the outer cover for better drafting, creek about 50 yrds away. Between Cranberry pollen and cooling down the hive the crew is going to be busy.

    I really don't know, dishwashers do get hot during the dry cycle, and if it's working for canning I think your OK. I'm kinda funny about food safety especially when I am giving to other folks.

    The Honey Factory

    Went to let the chickens out at daybreak, took a quick glance at the hives and noticed no one going to work but the ones that got caught working overtime at sunset were bringing home the pollen. When I pollenated Blue Berries we would remove the hives at night. The next day the bees that got...

    The Honey Factory

    For the fall flow I'm going with the 9 Frame on established hive and probably going to carry over for next spring. Today is the first day for the Cranberry pollen blast and they are coming in loaded, some will get mixed in with the honey that I'll be pulling in a week or so, do a Varroa count...

    The Honey Factory

    When I pull supers for extracting I waste no time. I put the extracted box right back on the hive for the bees to glean any honey residue and start right back to work. I don't give them foundation as R2elk said until 70-80%, but as we are looking at a 7-10 day stretch of temps in the 90s the...

    The Wally-Gee Bee Journey 🐝

    All you need is a crew and a fork lift to put it in place, nice build though. They weren"t mistakes, they were "adjustments".

    The Wally-Gee Bee Journey 🐝

    Thats funny, the house I grew up in had a huge colony between the stud bays in my sisters room, so huge and thriving that honey actually oozed out of the cracks in the plaster. They were destroyed using Chlordane which I felt hastened her death, also affected my dad as his room was below hers.

    Question of the Day - Friday, June 7th, 2024

    Getting picked up by a woman on the South Street Bridge in Philly at 3 yrs old and being taken to the police station, sitting on the desk with a police hat and lollipop till mom and dad sprung me. 1954, things were different back then. Always was a wanderer.
