Thread: Beekeeping

There are bees living in a hole in a neighbor's tree. I've never seen so many in my yard before. This weekend they are all over the honeysuckle.

Worked with my bees this weekend. I had my little helper to keep it shaving related....

I lit my smoker with coals from the campfire and then needed other things in my truck to bring to the bees.
I didn't want to carry it lit in the cab and it would have tipped over in the box. Here was my solution.
The hook is made for hanging it on the side of a hive. Works for windows also!

This hive is a new box and a little slower so we left the small hole yet to let them defend the hive better.



This hive is doing well so the whole bottom is open.



These are the box's that the queen bees came in.



There are plenty of bees in this hive. It is the front after I opened the hive to check them. The inside is just as thick with bees. This is one of the overwintered hives that I think that I will have to split or they will split themselves.
