All One Hive: Recent visit
http://allonehive.blogspot.com/2011/05/recent-visit.html
What this blog is about. Sunday, May 29, 2011. So a quick update here,. I took a look at the hives and they seem to be doing well. I must admit that I was feeling a little nervous because of getting stung the last time, and I felt a little more jumpy. Kinda like getting back on a bicycle after having a fall. I'm glad to say that everything went well, though. Toothpicks, broken in half, and inserted through the little holes in the sides of the frame through the wax. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

All One Hive: Small Hive Beetle Battle Marches On
http://allonehive.blogspot.com/2011/06/small-hive-beetle-battle-marches-on.html
What this blog is about. Saturday, June 4, 2011. Small Hive Beetle Battle Marches On. I had a very good inspection of the first hive today. Feeder jar was about one-third full and the bees seemed to be doing well. When I first approached the hive I noticed a tremendous amount of activity around the entrance. At first I thought it must be because of the heat, but then I noticed that there were dozens of drones coming and going from the hive. Those fellas are big! Labels: Small Hive Beetle. Wow - the drone...

What this blog is about. What this blog is about. Is dedicated to exploring my personal growth as a beekeeper. For a few years I was what you might call an "arm-chair beekeeper", meaning, that most of my experience with beekeeping came from reading and learning about the hobby online. I occasionally helped out with some fellow beekeepers and their hives, and I took a workshop or two, or attended lectures. Will hopefully have something for everyone to learn from, although I caution any reader from assumin...

All One Hive: Love at first sting.
http://allonehive.blogspot.com/2011/05/love-at-first-sting.html
What this blog is about. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Love at first sting. My lighter had ran out of fuel, so I did the whole thing without smoke. It went pretty well, except during my inspection of the second (larger) hive. The bees' energy seemed more agitated, which could have been due to any number of reasons. Perhaps the beetles, or perhaps the torrential rain we had had the night before. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Small Hive Beetle Update. Love at first sting. Towards the End of May.
