Detailed photographs illustrate how you can install the bees into your hive, how to assemble the hive, how to harvest honey, and many more. Though the book explains beekeeping in a very basic manner, as expected from a Dummies guidebook, it covers a very wide range of topics that also include information about the bees from their biological structure to their behavior as a society.Seth Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352013966925294752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008316670744635271.post-81112403195772665732008-08-17T00:19:00.000-04:002008-08-17T00:19:00.000-04:00I was wondering , how many brood boxes do you have...I was wondering , how many brood boxes do you have and what size are they (deep or medium)? <BR/>Yes , I think you should definitely feed like you're doing, and leave everything for the bees to winter on.<BR/><BR/>I notice the Japanese Knot weed is beginning to bloom in the parking lot of Rick's Tavern,...always a good flow in that stand each year.

Make sure you have an opening, maybe just a ventilation hole, that can be used as an entrance directly into the top super from the outside by the workers. Maybe you should try removing the excluder and see if the bees start building comb. ?????<BR/>Any other ideas, anyone?WOWOTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557731924273876721noreply@blogger.com
