not this summer sadly, maybe the local farmer will plant again in 2023.

Thanks all. Think I’ll go with moving the brood to bottom and feed well before the Ivy. The reason being the top box is seriously full of brood and almost empty bottom box. Thanks again

I read the following post on a forum - Anyone tried? or is it just delaying the inevitable "The creator of the waspbane trap has also stated, if a small colony is being robbed by wasps, whether it is a hive or nuc. block the entrance of the hive early in the morning and place the trap in front...

How long will a frame of capped brood keep in a nuc without bees? I need to transport 2 or 3 capped brood frames just over an hour from the apiary. Thanks

Wanted - Stainless Still Settling tank with minimum 2 strainers.

Morning, thanks for the your post, thought there must be other brave soles willing to take the forum wrath. thought 2nd week of July with the season late this year. good idea to give the brood to weaker hives I planned to treat the old way. thanks again

several zoom presentations by local beekeeping associations. Ralph Buchler presentation at honey show. The idea is to use the brood break instead of summer treatment. With only the one winter OA treatment. I would only use on very strong colonies, starting a few weeks before the end of summer flow.

Is there anyone on the forum who’s tried or is using the system??
