GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: What did you do in your Apiary/Bee yard today?

« Last post by The15thMember on May 10, 2024, 06:59:49 pm »

I inspected most of my small colonies today.  Most needed another box, and I did a sugar roll in the largest colony and only 1/300 so that's good.  I was worried because the bees in there are kind of over-groomed looking, but I think it's just that they are old because this hive is coming off a brood break.  I also got some pictures of Queen Tiana.  I've never had a queen this dark.  I have several tiger-striped queens, but she is all black.  (Sorry the picture quality isn't better, I had my phone in a plastic baggie to protect it from propolis.)

THE 2ND AMENDMENT / Re: Welcome to the 2nd Amendment Room

I actually got a chuckle out of a bad ruling in NY the other day. It was so bad as to be comical. If I have time, I'll post something on it later.

It was another example of libtard judges stretching an argument to the point of ridiculousness. I'm convinced some of those are delay tactics to keep an unconstitutional law on the books for as long as possible, because it's sure to be overturned at some point, but am open to the possibility that leftists are really that stupid.

They don't really want to take our guns, they just want the world to be a safer place.    But people aren't killing other people with guns that they bought second hand through private sales. And the last I heard, a binary trigger hasn't been a problem either but here we are.

Good.  Bad enough that states like mine are doing it.

Thanks for that info. It's a sad state of affairs all of the suing that's going on any more.

26 states have filed suit against Biden's rule against the private sale of guns.

FARMING & COUNTRY LIFE / Re: Laser projects

A sign you're getting old, I guess ... finding things funny that seem normal to others ... I've been noticing many "new ones" over the years.

Just curious, but who else chuckled a little ...

When they saw "Laser Projects" under the category of "Farming and Country Life"?

Terri I do not remember if you have mentioned queen cells, (since you are new and taking in a lot of information), I will ask, have you mentioned seeing queen cells in your mentors hive?

Phillip

Not yet but I haven't been there since I got my hive mid April. He said he did lose a swarm so I expect that he does have them. I think it's next Saturday he's supposed to do some manipulations and I've been invited to attend so I'll be on the lookout for them then. I was looking for them in my hive inspections and didn't see anything that looked suspicious. I'm pretty happy with how fast my colony is growing but for all I know, it might be slow by comparison.
