They get some pollen but mostly packed honey. The door gives them faster access to the upper part of the hive and thus they draw out the comb and unload honey more quickly as well.

Bottom 3 deep supers are all brood boxes for winter. Next 2 mediums above queen extruder are mine. and will be removed before winter. A feeder inside deep super up top. everything above the queen extruder will go away before winter. Brown background box is one of my 3 chicken coops.

Here is the Mega Hive with the new upper door installed.

Hey guys... Do to this Summer's Nectar Dearth here in NC. I experienced hard core Robbing attacks a few months ago destroying one of my hives and wounding the other. The one hive which was destroyed and had lost it queen too , which lead to Chill brood and collapse, had all the workers quit...

Sooo, I had a scary close call last Saturday... After working with my bees... and I pissing them off... (shaking them out if a medium super they refused to drawl out) several of them attacked me on my bee suit. I was fine.. normally they give up once you walk away 15 ft or so... However...

last evening I came home and added a medium super to my hive with a queen separater. I figure I will relieve some crowding in the hive and give them a chance at an early start on drawing out the comb in the medium. They were pretty aggressive as expected for having their hives opened for the 1st...

A few things about this "On Tap Hive".... The add alone tells you these guys have no problem morally deceiving folks and selling them a dream. The add is rife with BS targeted only to get the new bee keeper wanna be's money... Those who have kept bees for longer than a year can see clearly...

Thanks I designed that logo myself... Also, Today is Feb 9th On warmer days my bees are flying about now in pretty large numbers. so, I think this whole fondant thing is academic, at this point in the year, for a hive this strong. It was 57f outside when I took this picture.

True.... THANKS GUYS

This weekend I tried to make my own fondant bee food… The stuff came out like thick golden syrup. So, I reheated it to 245 and let it steam off for 20 minutes… This time it cooled to a super thick golden glue that made the Labreah Tar Pits look arid… So, being “clever” I added in tons of corn...

youre welcome

What I really liked was the explanation that went with it: The Explanation of the Rules! Work with the bees when they are content, when the weather is fine 1. Work your hives only on “Blue Bird Sky” Days. Honey Bees are Happiest when they are able to bring in food for their colony. Any...
