MAY 2018 – Harmony Hollow has added nucleus colonies (NUC) to the line of products available. NUCs are a “starter” colony that include a mated and egg-laying queen of known genetics, several frames of eggs/larvae/brood, at least one frame of resources (nectar/honey/pollen) and a frame with foundation for the bees to draw fresh comb onto. […] 
This short video outlines how to convert a standard frame feeder into a no-drown feeder for syrup being fed to bees. All items for the upgrade were available as scrap from my personal workshop – so no additional materials were purchased for the improvements. The only expenditure was my personal labor. Be sure to watch […] 
The homeowner noticed bees entering and exiting from the shed in the back yard the week before. Since we were still several weeks prior to our swarm season – I suspected the bees * may * have been there a bit longer than the homeowner was aware of. A nice queen was found, the bees […]
These bees have been in the soffit for a while. The homeowner bought the house recently, and needs to do some work – that the bees were preventing. After a successful removal – the bees were re-homed to a Harmony Hollow Apiary outyard – and are doing well. Enjoy! Enjoy this quick video of assembling frames for honey production. Foundation will be added to the frames just prior to putting them on the hives (to keep the foundation clean until it’s time for the bees to draw comb). Enjoy!

A swarm arrived at this young lady’s home the night before. Brianna was excited to learn about the bees, and had never experienced a swarm like this – she insisted on bravely scooping the bees […] It is early January 2018, and several of the overwintering nucleus colonies (NUC) are needing a protein boost since there has been no blooms for the bees to visit since late fall. Once the queen lays eggs, and the larvae hatch – they need a ready supply of protein for their growth and transformation from […] This bee removal was from a tree that had fallen in a golf course in a storm last week. If you like chainsaws.. look at the video. I love making the sawdust fly. 😉 The rest of the tree was already cleared away – but the course maintenance crew wanted to make sure the colony […] 
When the weather turns wet, and the old work boots (or leather hat, etc) just is not waterproof any more, think about using a leather conditioner to rehydrate and waterproof the pores and stitching of the leather. (note – this conditioner can be used on canvas tent material as well) Amber’s work boots were dry, […]
