On Holiday Salaam I am out of town on summer break. Want be ble to help. Are you in Al Badrah ?

Salaam and thank you Drex Its exactly what I also thought and that is why I expected the bees to build comb instead of the queen moving into the side frames and finding empty spots on frames 90 percent with capped honey. Appreciate your help

Would a simple quad not do the job ? Cheap, all terrain, possible to tow a lorry

Salaam Drex and again thank you I understand but I was believing bees could drawn a full frame with foundation in two week or so. But the bees didnt start working on that frame and queen went to a frame with honey and put eggs there. Which leads me to ask : in how much time can bees drawn a...

Father Warre Salaam fellow beekeeprs Dont know about plants in a lush rainy climate since I live in a dessert but according to Warre : Borage Borage Borage

Salaam Drex I see. I believed bees made honey frames (a frame only for honey) and brood frames (a frame with eggs, larva, honey and pollen) Meaning that I wrongly assumed that the queen would never lay eggs in frames which are solely for honey. Now that I think about, your explanation make...

Salaam fellow beekeepers and thanks in advance for the help I think my hive is a Langstroth with 10 frames of 50 x 23 mm (2 inch by 1 inch roughly) Since its new, I have no super on it so no queen excluder. Unless these exist in vertical instead of horizontal ? The hive is doing very well...

Salaam fellow beekeepers I opened the hive in the weekend, hoping to harvest another frame of honey. I have in the hive : 10 frames. 5 are the original I bought with the nuke and 5 have been added by me (gradually) Now 1 frame with foundation is complete empty but the queen started laying...

The poison is in the dose. Salaam Anduril Parcelsus said the poison is in the dose. A plant, Coriaria, is producing a poison, this does not affect the small insects who feed on the plant. The poison goes through the insect and end up as excretion (a fancy word for something else I guess) on...

Opium farms in the UK ? Salaam fellow beekeepers. How wonderful to be on this forum. Such a source of information. Pete (Boutros in Arabic) you are pulling my leg right ? Opium felds in the UK ? Or is it the poppy seed farm used for the bread ?

Salaam Birdie Looks indeed that Turkey has the same honey but also from same flower as Nepal. There even seems to be honey with morphine from poppy fields Very interesting

Salaam fellow beekeepers. It seems that in Nepal, with huge areas with same flowers, there exist poisonous honey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_b2i_FvYPw Now, Father Warre warns in his book also that some (poisonous) plants cant be in the neighborhood of beehives. Are there cases in...

Salaam fellow Beekeepers Honey with comb is sold in Dubai as high end expensive product. Its packed in stainless steel boxes with glass (acrylic) lid Expensive packaging but its selling very well Supposed to be Yemeni Mountain Honey...
