The homeowners had purchased this home last year, right about the time I’d estimate that the bees moved in (based on the comb color and condition), however the home itself tells a story about bees occupying the space in years past – based on the residue and remnants from wax moth in the space. During […] 
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 […]

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 […] 
This North Texas Municipal Water District wastewater treatment plant has had bees in the past. This year – they have them again. From the look of the comb, these bees have occupied this space right at a month to 6 weeks. The queen was a bright orange color, and easy to spot.
The following article was forwarded to me from a friend. It indicates that at least 20 years ago, research was being done to determine ways to get rid of the varroa mites. We now have other treatments available to us to use. And some beekeepers use methods that range from “apicentric” to the other end […] 
A friend of mine has inquired several times about having hives put on their land – both for adding to the biodiversity of the land and flora, but also for the State Agriculture Exemption that includes having honeybees as livestock.
