I am thinking of starting a hive next spring. However, I have dogs and I am not sure having a hive is safe for my pets. The hive would have to go in my back...
My cousin put up three panels to keep the cows from knocking over the hive and placed some used metal roofing in the front. Yesterday to my amazement I...
I doubt the dogs would have any interest. My cats and dogs ignore the hives. But if they got too curious, one sting on the nose would take care of it. ... ...
Our dog likes to try and capture flies with her mouth. The first time we took her to the bee yard she learned that bees are not flies. Now whenever she joins...
William, Welcome to the wonderful world of beekeeping. I've got some suggestions for you, though I haven't moved a hive myself I have gotten instructions from...
... Did somebody die? Or is the beekeeper incapacitated but still able to supervise? If the latter, you're in luck. Lucky you, to inherit all the $1000s in...
My Maltese followed me to my bee hive and cavorted and chased around until she sniffed a bee on the ground and it stung her. Now she watches as I trundle my...
The owner of the beekeeping supply place where I purchased my first hive last spring had an interesting story to relate regarding dogs and bees. He had one...
William, I'm fairly new to the game myself -- and this advice may be wrong -- but I'd get those honey supers off first. A beekeeping supply store would be able...
I'm a hobbyist, one hive, in the Sacramento Valley of California. They did well through the Spring; I added a queen excluder and honey super in June. They...
Well I got initiated last night. I took everyones advise and went and removed 1 of the 2 honey supers off of each of the hives. Everything went extremely well...
I'm sorry to hear you got so many stings. If you Google about beekeeping clubs in your area I'm sure there will be one with experienced beeks who'd be willing...
My recent beekeeping lesson is included in the aphorism: "Look before you leap." I took a plateful of burr comb filled with honey into the house after...

I finally got my hives home, mostly without incident. I found out that they are in a bad area the sun hardly hits them most of the day. I will begin moving...
Bees have an innate sense of direction and will usually find their way back to the hive if within a 5 mile radius. No they wont be adopted bt another hive and...
I have lost hives to the small hive beetle probably because I dont use pesticides. I dont like chemical poisons of any kind. There are treatments for the small...
I am like a good many beekeepers. I don't like to use pesticides. However, I have used them to control the beetle problem because I did not want to lose the...
I'm not an expert. My son and I are hobbyists, as well (2 hives), but I wonder if your hive was robbed. We had this happen a couple of years ago and it...
I always tell my kids (and husband ;-) not to freak out around bees or stinging insets in general, but it's easier said than done. Welcome to beekeeping! Did...
