I will be starting my first year as a beekeeper and am trying to do lots of research. And I have a question. It seems common to hear the refrain “Don’t harvest honey your first year”. Sadly people don’t seem to qualify or expand on this, and it seems like an incomplete thought. Is that...

I need some step-by-step instructions for removing moisture in capped honey on the frames, from the time you set the frame down in the box. YouTube videos are all for operations much larger than mine. I'll be doing this in my air conditioned dining room, as I have 10-12 frames at most to dry...

Greetings! In the near future i am moving to the Netherlands and I am hoping on starting a beekeeping hobby somewhat soon after, therefore I would like to gather as much information as possible from scratch. Starting with what type of Species i should go for. I am aware Beekeeping is rising in...

I'm not sure if we are having first or 2nd mesquite bloom, but pretty sure I am going to have to add supers again soon. After mesquite we will have ragweed and goldenrod. What is in bloom for you?

Hi here we are at the end of the honey flow and - as in every year- there are a considerable amount of frames that have very nice capped honey on it, but also uncapped honey cells. I am always in doubt on how to use those and if there is a way to make the bees cap them. I am also not sure...

I am new to beekeeping this year. I bought a nuc in May and things have been going great! A week ago I did an inspection to the hive and found that both the bottom and top deeps are almost entirely full. The new frames that I added about a month ago to the top deep are full of capped honey...

Now it may not be a big deal to anyone else, but except for the year of EFB when I had to harvest all honey to save my bees, I have never had a significant honey harvest. I started keeping bees in 2011, when Texas had 70 days over 100 and no rain, so drought brings dearth and I bought a lot of...

I have heard experienced beekeeps say that pollen is most important to bees during winter while others just as experienced say honey is more important. Is there one resource to bees that is more important in winter or are they just blowing smoke? Together they provide all the nutritional values...

Winter is here in central Texas. Last weekend I did a survey of my hive. I've got 2 deeps, 1.5 of which are full of honey. I've got a super 1/3 full of honey. I also left a frame feeder in the top deep - which is now completely drawn out. I plan on removing the super. Do you think I could take...

So my bees kicked the bucket. Looks like they just froze to death, maybe due to moisture. But I have a couple frames still full of honey. Its gonna be another 2 months before my packages arrive. What should I do with these frames? I'd like to put them in the new hives if that's ok. But I'm also...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - If you walk the streets of downtown Tampa and spot a few bees buzzing around the flowers and crepe myrtles, there's a good chance those bees belong to Paul Maney, and those bees live in a hive sitting on the roof of Maney's downtown law firm office. The full-time family-law...
