The Bee Health app is based on current scientific knowledge to address honey bee diseases and pests. It is a handy resource to help beekeepers and other users to detect, diagnose, manage and treat honey bee diseases and pests. It includes pictures and treatment options which will aid beekeepers in adopting appropriate pest management practices. Thus, beekeepers can improve bee health and enhance on-farm food safety and biosecurity practices in their operations.

Max's Bees Part 1

 

This is a video about a Top Bar Hive that has turned aggressive.  It is moved to a remote location and the honey and brood removed and the hive prepared to be converted to a Langstroth Hive and given a new queen.

 

Max's Bees Part 2

This is a continution of Part 1.  We cannot find the queen so a queen excluder is attached to the bottom of the super, elevated and the bees shaken in front of the hive.  We are preparing it to receive a new queen.

Max's Bees 3 

This is a continution of Part 1 & 2.  We have prepared the hive it to receive a new queen.  A queen is not available so we have taken a frame of eggs and young larva from a 2012 Carniolan Breeder queen and will insert it in the brood nest and then give the hive a 50/50 sugar water to help it get started.

The Triple Deep hives are ready to make honey as soon as you get them. Take advantage of the spring honey flow then consider splitting them into 2 hives or nucs after the flow.

The equipment alone is worth over $350.00 without the bees, brood, honey, pollen and drawn comb.

We have taken the risk out of installing package bees for you in a nuc and have insured that the queen is a good laying queen with a good brood pattern.   When installing package bees there is a risk that the bees will act like a swarm and leave the hive after a few days.  With the presence of open brood, the bees will not leave.  All you need to do is transfer the contents of the nuc to your Langstroth equipment.  You may also keep your bees in the nuc for several weeks before transferring.  We treat all nucs for varroa mites in late March and early April unless you ask us not to do so. 

 

Availability of BEES are all dependent on WEATHER and other factors which are out of our control.
