Thought I'd give you a few more. If you were feeding them and suddenly stopped, or there was a good nectar flow and now it's over, then they will be a bit testy. If something is pestering them, like a skunk at night, they will be grumpy all day. Look for claw marks at the entrance. Woodpeckers will do this too. Certain fragrances will change their mood. I wouldn't wear any kind of fragrance around the bees, not even fabric softener. I know lemon scent is a no no. If you have horses or cattle and use fly wipe, there are certain brands that will drive bees NUTS. The bees will attack animals even if they are no where near the hive. Dark colors, especially fuzzy dark colors will sometimes provoke aggression. If a jacket or hat has been stung before, the bees can smell the venom and will often become aggressive. If you aren't kind to other beekeepers, they will carry you away and have you for lunch!!!!! :-) Have a good day.

After a worried winter, caused by the fact that at the last opening of my hive last fall, I saw *ZERO* evidence of a queen (not a single egg, larva, or any hint of capped brood *ANYWHERE* in the hive that I could see, and no visible queen anywhere, coupled with the fact that I was worried I'd mooshed her a couple of weeks before when I dropped a frame while pulling it), I opened the hive this past weekend for a full-blown "pull every frame" inspection because there seemed to be a unreasonably large number of bees coming and going. I was expecting to find a queenless colony that was on the slow downhill side to dying off. What I saw shocked the bejeebers outta me. Practically every cell on both sides of every frame was packed with brood in various stages of development from egg to capped, with the odd cell here and there stuffed with pollen, and a few rows of cells full of honey. The pattern is near-perfect - Whoever's laying the eggs is hitting practically every cell. Four frames, two on each end of the "stack", in each box (I'm running with a two-box brood chamber) remain essentially untouched, but I'm seeing signs that the girls are getting set to expand to them - one of them has about 40-50 cells that have clearly been started, but are only a few mm deep, and those cells have eggs stuck to the bottom - I'm assuming that they intend to build 'em up as the larvae grow Still no visual confirmation of a queen, but from what I've read, and what I'm seeing in the hive, it seems pretty obvious that it isn't a laying worker - The pattern is too perfect, there's a single, well-centered egg in each cell, and so on. Everything combines to tell me that I've got a queen in there actively doing her thing, even if she is playing "hard to spot". The various trees around us (mainly oaks and some pine) are flowering, and the willow-like thing in the back yard has popped its catkins, and had them swarmed by a carpet of happily humming bees picking up pollen. I'm thinking that if I want to keep this hive, I've got no option but to add a super, and PRONTO, before the population explosion of all that brood hatching out happens. No signs of swarm cells (yet... I'd bet it's only a matter of time if I leave things as-is) so I may have a day or three to play with, but... And pollen... Holy moley... I'm seeing bees coming back with wads of pollen stuck to their legs that are BIGGER THAN THEIR OWN HEADS! While I was in the hive, I saw at least 50 "dancers" doing their thing - If I've understood the literature right, and interpreted what I'm seeing correctly, something is flowing BIGTIME off to our southeast, but I'll be dipped if I can figure out what it is - there's nothing that I know about off that way besides trees and the lake. Perhaps some teeny tiny little flower that's especially bee-tasty, but my poor human eyes can't spot from here? Whatever it is, like I said, there were probably 50 "dancers" on the combs who were *VERY* energetic about trying to spread the word. On the down side, I'm seeing absolutely ZERO activity from the old oak branch that housed the colony which I strongly suspect threw this swarm last year. Nothing at all, no matter how long I watch. Not even stragglers. I suspect that one didn't make it through the winter. Bummer. All looks good inside my hive, though, with the exception of it getting set to become hugely overcrowded. No visible sign of mites, no nasty critters, and perhaps most important, no sickly brood. And the girls continue to be as gentle as a beginner like myself could possible ask for - Heck, I even managed to semi-squish a couple who got between my fingers and the ears of the frames, and the only protest was a moment of frantic buzzing until I repositioned my grip so they could get loose. When I did, they just scurried back onto the comb and carried on like nothing had happened. I was also able to watch with fascination as they decided the nearly invisible sweat droplets on my fingertips were seriously good stuff - I had a nearly full set of "bee gloves" on before I finished... hundreds of bees running around on my fingers and the backs of my hands, tounges out and "mopping" as they skittered around. Neat :) It was kind of a pain trying to get rid of them so I could close up the hive, but gentle prodding with a finger and a wisp of grass managed to brush everybody back into the hive after a few minutes of watching them.

After reading these post, I decided my only hope was to install an electric fence. Before I installed the battery, I came in for dinner and my wife looked out and saw a huge black bear (at least 300 pounds). I ran out to scare it, but it was ignoring me. I was 50 feet from it, screaming and throwing rocks near it, but he paid no attention to me at all. He made some aggressive moves (getting on his hind legs as well as making a huffing sound. At these moments, I did indeed realize that he could outrun me, so I took a couple of steps back. This bear, was collared and tagged. I gave the DEP the tag number, and he said he could be a problem bear. (gee... you think?) He eventually walked away (after an hour) and I installed the battery. The next morning at 5:30 A.M. I saw him attempting to get in the hive, but he hit the fence and didn't like it. He eventually walked away. So I stand with one lost hive and two depleted hives.

No need for a suit or even to zip it up. It seems that there's always at least one bee that decides I shouldn't be there. However, it's rare that one will take exception to me if I'm more than 40 feet away. It's the guard bees at the hive entrance that are giving you problems. If possible, you can face the hive so they can't see you in the yard. It should help. If not, you can put a wall of some sort several feet in front of the hive to block their view - plywood wired or tied to a couple of T-Posts with a picture of a bee on the front sounds nice. Don't forget the other things I mentioned. Speaking of which way to face the hive, it's best, if you can, to face it toward the rising sun, and don't put it in the shade - a LITTLE is ok. Oh, just thought of another sting trigger. Bees tend to sting where there's a sharp contrast of light and dark colors. One example of this is your wrist at the edge of your watch band.

Honey in the frames is stored food and does not stimulate brood production. 1:1 sugar syrup fools the bees into acting like a nectar flow is on and makes the queen lay .

You have a good set of eyes I assume. It is unarguably noticeable that your web site is extremely lame, and amateurish and lacking any graphical presence. I thought you were wanting an honest opinion. That is one of the worst sites I've seen anyone actually ask for an opinion on. Why bother asking? You already know it sucks. Common. Thanks for taking the time to research the Big Orange! P.S. Ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer. Once again, your site is lame, don't quit your day job.

They only show knockdown power not killing power of the treatment. The actual death of the mite may come from the mite sticking to the board and dehydrating. Thus the treatment may not have done the job but rather the combination of the two did. 2. If every hive has to have a sticky board used then the treatment looses it's cost effectiveness. There are treatments available that are cheaper than the sticky board alone. Also in a commercial situation the labor has to be added as well. I personally monitored some of the treated hives with the ether roll method. I saw the mite counts drop some only to rise again. Three oxalic treatments were used two weeks apart in early winter while the bees were clustered with very little to no brood. The lowest mite count that I saw was about 2 mites perr 100 bees. While I understand that this was a bad winter due to the previous drout that we had, my other apiaries faired much better in comparison. A fall treatment of checkmite was used on those hives. beekeep Article 34268 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: NNTP-Posting-Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2003 17:49:29 -0500 Subject: Re: Varroa mite control Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 10:49:17 +1200 From: Peter Kerr Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Message-ID: <100420031049174833%user@host.domain> References: <40lp8vgln3pahb4j4712p87sct427dbvfn@4ax.com> <2JKja.648616$Yo4.49746280@news1.calgary.shaw.ca> <3e902cf9.1519092@news1.radix.net> <504d7af0.0304070217.5f866d5e@posting.google.com> <3e91fcca.117756018@news1.radix.net> <3e929e98.159174578@news1.radix.net> <090420031206219221%user@host.domain> <3e93f260.1742176@news1.radix.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit User-Agent: YA-NewsWatcher/5.0.1 X-Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: p.kerr.mus.auckland.ac.nz X-Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: scream.auckland.ac.nz X-Original-Trace: 10 Apr 2003 10:49:21 +1200, scream.auckland.ac.nz Organization: CLEAR Net New Zealand http://www.clear.net.nz - Complaints abuse@clear.net.nz Lines: 23 NNTP-Posting-Host: 203.97.37.6 X-Trace: sv3-tHDCR6Hp76nxHtwGiI2FeMkAtiLR3+KO29u+f8mAyYU2Tuu52UzR4qVS0vcX7a9JcmqWxr6FX+moTGR!771exBHVQi1BcR97kwrvUIjVYQegg4CFEloD4hDA0gAjZIULeNUfzyxf8ojwJkG+IyK/Z8kc8A== X-Complaints-To: Complaints to abuse@clear.net.nz X-DMCA-Complaints-To: Complaints to abuse@clear.net.nz X-Abuse-and-DMCA-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers X-Abuse-and-DMCA-Info: Otherwise we will be unable to process your complaint properly X-Postfilter: 1.1 Path: news.unc.edu!canoe.uoregon.edu!logbridge.uoregon.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed-east.nntpserver.com!nntpserver.com!border1.nntp.aus1.giganews.com!nntp.giganews.com!nntp3.aus1.giganews.com!nntp.clear.net.nz!news.clear.net.nz.POSTED!not-for-mail Xref: news.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:34268 beekeep wrote: > > A couple of things come to mind with using sticky boards with a mite > treatment. > > 1.

[snip] I thought the sticky boards were just an inspection (control in French) use it before to see if treatment is needed, use it after to confirm (or not :-( treatment worked With 10 or more hives at an apiary only one in four needs checking, but all should be treated if needed. pk Article 34269 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: From: "BiG Orange" <@> Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: Re: Bee Truck Crash Kills One; Releases Swarms In Brevard Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 23:10:40 -0400 Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com Message-ID: References: X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 X-Complaints-To: abuse@supernews.com Lines: 7 Path: news.unc.edu!arclight.uoregon.edu!logbridge.uoregon.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!sn-xit-03!sn-xit-06!sn-post-01!supernews.com!corp.supernews.com!not-for-mail Xref: news.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:34269 > Monday, killing the driver and releasing thousands of bees in Brevard 80 million bees, not thousands.> TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- A truck carrying bees overturned on Interstate 95 Article 34270 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: Auction Sale From: Nick Organization: busy@removeblueyonder.co.uk Message-ID: User-Agent: Xnews/05.08.12 Lines: 4 Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 20:25:04 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 62.31.190.59 X-Complaints-To: abuse@blueyonder.co.uk X-Trace: news-binary.blueyonder.co.uk 1050092704 62.31.190.59 (Fri, 11 Apr 2003 20:25:04 GMT) NNTP-Posting-Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 20:25:04 GMT Path: news.unc.edu!canoe.uoregon.edu!logbridge.uoregon.edu!newsfeed.stueberl.de!teaser.fr!freenix!deine.net!amsnews01.chello.com!news-hub.cableinet.net!blueyonder!internal-news-hub.cableinet.net!news-binary.blueyonder.co.uk.POSTED!53ab2750!not-for-mail Xref: news.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:34270 Only a week to go before Saturday 19 April and Worcestershire Beekeepers (Hagley & Stourbridge Branch) hold their auction of beekeeping equipment at Blakedown Parish Rooms.

At the end of the crop, in the month of June, draws every beehive with 8 grs of loose timolo in 8 ccs of alcohol, the all done to absorb in two rectangles of - oasis - (the florists' sponge) of 6 cms x 4 cms x 0.5 cms, set to the sides of the brood, the all must be repeated for 3 times to distance of 8 days. And a lot of main point that the deep antivarroa is positioned anointed with oil of vaselina, the fallen varroes because of the timolo don't die but I are alone you stun, and they stay you stick to the greasy fund of oil. In autumn when the families of bees have not brooded anymore, I treat with sour ossalico loosened in water and sugar (Swiss method). The use of oil of vaselina put on the looms of the honeycombs and effectiveness to 25% on the total one of the varroes and you/he/she can be used in intermediary periods to the principal treatments.

It was brought to our attention that the goup liability insurnace we have through the Ontario Beekeepers Association only cover products from the hive. Because we "modify" the wax into candles, they are not covered under it. I have contacted several insurance companies, and they either laugh at the tought of such insuarance or give me an outrageous price? Has any one found a cost effective alternative? Or more importantly, did you realise you might not be covered incase of an avccident happening with candles, read the fine print in your insurance policy? It seem a shame I'll have to give up making candles from my beeswax, all because I cant get affordable insurance.

The Hive I am using has drawn comb and honey in it, and has had all of the winter kill cleaned out. I do have a entrance reducer in place. I am in South Central Ohio. I installed the package and caged queen on Saturday, and after a few hours, most of the bees from the package were on a nearby post - I sprayed them with sugar water, brushed them into a box and replaced them into the hive.

Sounds as if you installed in the middle of a hot day or your hive is somehow repulsive to the bees. Bees installed in the middle of a hot day may leave, and if there is something in the brood box that they do not like (disinfectant, essential oils, etc.) they may also decide to leave. If there is no queen, their behaviour may also be odd. I don't know why the small number 'swarmed' onto the ground. Packages should be installed at dusk for best results. They may also be kept for a day or two in a totally dark place (not even a crack of light) to settle down. As always, the best answer is get a local beekeeper friend to look at them. Diagnosis over the internet can miss obvious (but unstated) things that a beekeeper on the scene should spot instantly. allen http://www.honeybeeworld.com Article 34285 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: From: drezac@greenapple.com (Duane Rezac) Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: Re: new package trying to swarm?
