Title: KARMA - Queen Introduction Frame - LAST DAY TO ENTER
Post by: Robo on January 22, 2013, 09:56:13 pm
Well, I thought we could try something new in the forum and see how it goes.

What is KARMA?

It is a random FREE give away to benefit the forum community.  It is also a way for members to give back to the forum community.   So I'm going to go first and we will see what follows.   

I'm going to start by offering a Queen Introduction Frame
Some have found this to work really well in getting a laying worker hive queen right.

How it works:

Good Luck everyone!


Some ground rules for future Karmas if anyone is compelled to give back to the forum community.

Great Idea.

I have done this with beeks in the area with some of the things that I have made and liked how they worked for me and given them to others to see if they liked them as well and to get ideas for improvements. I will take up the February one. just let me know in a PM when you complete yours OK.

That appears to be a fine professionally made gadget!  Why do beekeepers have so many gadgets?  Please don't send it to me or I will send you two of mine.  Do you need a marburg swarm box?

Count me in Rob.

This is a great idea, what comes around goes around.  For me it is the journey that is the most rewarding and not destination.

Great prize to win as I have this same queen introduction frame from Robo and it worked out great this past year when I had a laying worker.

I will have to think about what I have to give away as well.
