This homeowner had bees move into the water meter last year. Concerned for the safety of the water meter readers – he called to have the bees removed. This was 2 weeks ago, and I am happy to report that the bees are doing well after their removal from the water meter, and are […] 
During the cold months, one of the more common questions I am asked about is: “What do the bees do in the winter?”. The short answer is that they “sit in cluster” to maintain enough heat to ensure the survival of the colony. It is extremely important that the bees have enough food brought in […] 
Thanks goes out to BAC Lasers of Farmersville, Texas for providing the service of etching/burning identification information onto the top rails of my hive frames. Quick service! Below is a quick video of the first rail through the laser engraver. (I *really* want one of these laser engravers/cutters for my own projects!!!)

Hammering and activity on the roof tends to occasionally upset bees that are just below the roofers. […] 
A short film of the bees yard activity when open feeding honeybees. Honey from structural removals is fed back to the honeybees. This helps ensure that each hive in the apiary has enough food stores to make it through the winter. When there is no natural nectar flow, open feeding can be used to make […] At first glance at the articles I have read in the last few days, one would think to themselves: “What does this matter? These bees are isolated and in Hawaii – how should that mean anything to us here in the contiguous 48?”. Easy answer. These bee species *are* in an isolated area, and thus […] 
Another hive – and the bees have been here a *little* longer than the homeowner had noticed. Though much of the comb was pure white – there was also plenty that was tan and brown. I suspect the bees arrived EARLY this spring, then went unnoticed by the homeowners until they returned from a […] 
Though bees were active in this space days prior to the removal – it may have simply been robbing activity. The placement of the hive raised a concern when I evaluated the colony – as it looked like the hive would be exposed to some intense sun exposure – and the week I evaluated – […] |
