Bee Keeping

Yes, can do 8 med frames at a time or 4 deeps. Also helps to have a cheap filet knife to remove the caps as it is a lot faster and easier than some other ways I have tried.

Saweet!

Biggest headache is all the mosquito insecticide they spray. Easy to loose a hive if they get into the wrong thing.

Pics from a couple of seasons ago. Bees cleaning up the extractor and bottled honey. Each bottle was 1# in that picture.

What happens to hives for one to lose them?

My neighbor has 50 hives next door and another 25 at a coworkers house. He is the go to guy for anything about bees. If you want his number PM me. We live about 5 miles outside of Griffin.
