I live in Southern Illinois
« on: April 30, 2015, 09:04:55 pm »
I joined a year ago, kept all of my forum info on a tablet that pooped out, so never came back.  Well fellas, I'm back now!

I started out with one hive last year that never did well and died out over the winter. I will be picking up 3 packages of bees soon and am busy making their new homes all snug.

I am planning on using the high $ deep hive that I paid for and am making everything else medium 8's.  I am also planning on no foundation in the frames, hope the bees think the idea is as nifty as I do.  I will keep the plastic in the deep frame, just to see how it all works out and to compare.
The jasmine was blooming and the bees looked as though they were stitching flowers together with invisible silken thread.  Pat Conroy  Beach Music

Welcome
