DOWN UNDER BEEKEEPING / Re: Titebond lll - alternative

« Last post by Michael Bush on March 20, 2023, 08:43:18 am »

I mostly buy Titebond but settle for Elmers when Titebond isn't available.  I used to buy gallons but it seems someone leaves it out to freeze and then it's ruined.

I suppose you will put an empty medium box with frames under the shimmed deep framed box, then migrate the deep higher up, into honey production as the queen moves the brood nest down into your medium box at the base?

I always did it the opposite way up north.  Your way sounds like a PITA lifting a full deep to get the mediums underneath and then not being able to see what is going on in the new box.  Is there not a time when the bees migrate the nest up in the south?  It was very common in the spring up north.

The lemongrass oil may cause the bees to take an inordinate interest in the person's underarms...

GARDENING AROUND THE HOUSE / Re: This Is Stump Grinding 101

« Last post by BeeMaster2 on March 19, 2023, 11:49:08 pm »

Ace,
That device will not touch these stumps. I once tried to rip out a 3 inch heart wood yellow pine stump, the original tree was much much bigger, by dropping my box blade on it and tried to pull it out with a 2355 58 horse John Deere. I tried pulling several times and the only thing that happened was I damaged the tractor where the 2 bottom bars hooked onto the tractor. Took a long time to get the hydraulic fluid from leaking around those points. I noticed that on the new tractors, they totally redesigned how they are connected.
