This, whether fact or false hope, has been a HUGE selling point for my honey. While I, personally, tend to be skeptical about medical claims until I see the...
Your bees are festooning all over the outside of the hive. I was doing an inspection this afternoon and didn't notice the festoon on the opposite side of the...
Same problem here just south of Buffalo. My one hive in my back yard are all clustered up and love it when I turn the water on to water the garden. A little ...
Now is a good time to have some Buckwheat blooming. It's about as as fool proof a crop as there is, bust up the soil, broadcast it around, then run a draghare...
I too am in dry WNY (hives in Stockton). My hives are next to my pond, & I see the girls sitting on the lilypads when I float around in my kayak. They are...
Is there any proof, any at all, that CCD and absconding are not the same thing? If one hive of bees departs suddenly, we call it absconding. If fifty do it,...
The need for living creatures to have water, and plenty of it, seems to be pretty basic. Recent posts suggest that bees need water in greater amounts than...

Looks like I am need of feeding my bees. This is my first year beekeeping, so bear with me. Looks like the ratio is good at 2;1, but am looking for opinions on...
My understanding is that the proportion of sugar in the syrup depends on your situation. In spring and summer when wanting to stimulate egg laying, building...
It's my understanding that when a colony "absconds", they ALL go. With CCD, over the past 130 years, many times they find that all but the queen and a handful...
The difference between absconding and CCD is that with absconding, the whole hive goes including the queen. That's pretty much the definition of absconding....
That sounds like a reasonable distinction to me, Mike. In my case, every last bee disappeared over night, so I guess they absconded, but I don't know why....
I'd wait to make the new Queen call in the Fall. There's USUALLY a Goldenrod/ Aster bloom going on then that's full of nectar AND pollen. If she's not...
Good advice from Mike, but if you are feeding to augment winter stores the usual mix is two sugar to one water. Mixing instructions as Mike gave. 1:1 is...

I'm planning to start my first hive next Spring and I am looking for a suitable location on my property. I only have 1/2 acre to work with. The spot I'm...
I have been keeping bees for couple of years and have never seen anything in increasing the population of the hive like the Chinese honeybee keepers do it in...

There's no way I'd buy used equipment unless they could certify they'd never had any disease in their hives (foulbrood etc). LaRae ... From: Kevin Cotter To:...
I agree. I would not bid on that auction. As a beginner you could get a lot of nice stuff to start off with for that price. And there will be no headaches...
