I must requeen my mean feral hive. They're only mean when I open the hive but day before yesterday they started chasing my girlfriend & her grandson who were...
I would get a mated queen to ensure that no genes from your mean bees i carried on. Even if a queen doesn't mate with the drones from your hive there is a...
Hey Jens, I understand the concerns about the "mean" bee genes. However, from my experience with my father and uncle, some of their most productive hives...
I have heard people talk about that too, but I have never experienced it myself. I have had a couple of mean beefamilies that I took over from an old...
jens_khan said that he requeens mean hives and more. I agree with him completely. It isn't worth the trouble to put up with mean hives. Mike Located 1/2 way...
What is the purpose of screen with 8 holes per inch? And what about ants, moths,beetles and raccoons. Bees can freely come in and out of the screen at the...
No, the bees can't use the mesh as access. If they could, they would be susceptable to robbing from other bees. I've never used this method of mite control,...
Does anyone use killion boards anymore. There is supposed to be an advantage to using them to provide some additional clustering room and to prevent stray ...
I use em, got 4. Seemed like a good idea so I got em from Better Bee. Can't see as they make any difference but pretty sure they aren't hurting anything....
Hello David, I didn't know anyone sold them. I built my own. Did the ones you got from Better Bee have a wide board in the front? How wide were the slats? ...

Yeah, got the wide board in the front. One inch slats?? I'm guessing there though. Several outfits sell em, so I guess there's something to it. Might be a cold...

David, Mine were 3/4" as I remember. I would have to dig one out of the pile and look. I used a 4" wide board in the front. The idea was to allow the queen to...

Hello Scot, The bees can't get through the 1/8" mesh. Jon McFadden ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!...
You are misunderstanding. The bees wouldn't be susceptible to robbing because the bottom was opened up regardless of the size of your mesh. I am just talking...
As others have mentioned, the bees can't get through. Perhaps "8 holes per inch" is throwing you. These holes are 1/8th of an inch, so you have 8 holes along ...

Port Charlotte FL if anyone in our area has bees, I would like 2 or 3 queens with some bees. Charlie stole all mine, I had 4 hives and they are gone with the...
Well the only reason I think you could be asking is because you have freshly painted boxes AND bees to put in them now ? Well honestly you could put them in...
I would wait until you can no longer smell any paint. The honey is very susceptible to smells and I don't think that neither you nor the bees like honey with...
Sorry, Jean. I don't know if that is too small. You'd hate to have a screen that keeps the mites in! Anybody know? 12 squares/linear inch means the mesh is 144...
