A & K's Honey Bees: Springtime in the Bee Yard.
http://akhoneybees.blogspot.com/2012/03/springtime-in-bee-yard.html
A and Ks Honey Bees. All things Beekeeping, and our Beekeeping adventures! Sunday, March 25, 2012. Springtime in the Bee Yard. To remedy that, I designed and built a screened bottom board that uses a tray that can be serviced from the back of the hive. This is much less interrupting to the hive, and makes things much easier on the bees, and us! Below is a photo of the new Screened Bottom Board, and tray:. A brood box frame of capped brood, and the nurse bees looking after them:. June 20, 2013 at 6:42 AM.

http://akhoneybees.blogspot.com/2012/03/ready-for-honey-and-more-bees.html
A and Ks Honey Bees. All things Beekeeping, and our Beekeeping adventures! Friday, March 16, 2012. Ready for Honey and more bees! The most exciting part of this purchase was a beautiful 20 Frame Dadant Powered Extractor. All stainless steel construction, with a top of the line Baldor Motor and Baldor Variable Frequency Drive. This thing should do the job beautifully, and last a lifetime! Isn't she a beauty? A shot of the interior of the extractor. Just like new, and very well cared for.

A and Ks Honey Bees. All things Beekeeping, and our Beekeeping adventures! Saturday, April 30, 2011. Honey Bees get a new home. We are not in the City "proper" of Troy, but I can throw a rock in any direction from our property and hit City property. Yep, it makes NO sense! Our tax dollars at work, as usual! They even have a Honey Bee Hive on the south lawn of the White House! The challenge has begun, and we won't stop until the ordinances are changed for the better. The Madison County Board likes to ...

A and Ks Honey Bees. All things Beekeeping, and our Beekeeping adventures! Monday, May 30, 2011. Hive #2 Inspection May 28, 2011. Below is a photo of the Queen Cells. They look like a peanut hanging from the comb. Some people say they resemble a Morel Mushroom. Pretty neat stuff! Another shot of a Queen Cell. It is amazing to witness the dynamics of a Bee Colony! Hopefully, when we inspect Hive #2 next weekend, we will have a laying Queen, and some pictures of Eggs, Larvae, and a growing bee population!

A & K's Honey Bees: Springtime is for Bees.
http://akhoneybees.blogspot.com/2012/05/springtime-is-for-bees.html
A and Ks Honey Bees. All things Beekeeping, and our Beekeeping adventures! Saturday, May 12, 2012. Springtime is for Bees. The Queen is very large, and is laying brood like I have never seen before. Drawn frames literally FULL of eggs, larva, and capped brood. Below is a picture of the swarm, hanging out on a limb in a Maple Tree. This was a nice swarm to get: Only about 10' off of the ground, right by the street. I wish they were all this nice, and this easy! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
