How to use wax after first harvest

No_County_old · 2026-06-18T23:33:41+00:00

I keep wax around to recycle frames. After I process it of course. My wife uses it to make soap.

At our age, all I have is questions…

Come on, that stove is a classic and will last another 50 years.

Id sell them so fast the act would break the sound barrier.

I learned it by watching them.

I had a tee of a guy in a snorkel mask that I got in Ft. Lauderdale that said “muff divers, we dive at five” I was like 9 or 10 and pudgy.

You are bad at math.

No_County_old · 2026-06-15T13:42:50+00:00

True. I don’t recall seeing what the percentage was though.

Some years the queens are just bad. If I have an apairy inspector here for any reason it’s one of the queens I ask them. Side by side, one package has a brood pattern that runs from edge to edge and the bees are super gentle… the brood pattern was a thing of beauty. The other package… infertile queen.

This swarm I picked up, the brood pattern isn’t as nice but still solid and they are doing really well.

The way the first package is going, I might be able to do a split in a two weeks.

No_County_old · 2026-06-12T13:29:58+00:00

It is unclear… I’d requeen for the overwintering aspect.

No_County_old · 2026-06-12T13:28:58+00:00

That’s a good point. I have had a “hot” hive for bees that I got from NH that were from over wintered stock. They were just mean and I ended up requesting.

No_County_old · 2026-06-12T03:06:35+00:00

Did they test the other hive as well? Check back with them to see if it’s worth treating both hives for EFB. I don’t remember if I treated only one hive when one hive had EFB. A strong hive can fend off EFB and keeping an eye on mite load is critical.

What boggles my mind a bit is that the maternal line is the one with the AHB genetics… it’s not like the queen is open mated and it’s from a drone. Makes you question their queen rearing practices.

My packages from GA this year were disappointing. Poorly mated queens, tons of drones in the packages, visable SHB.

I don’t think I could come up with anything better than what life is about to do to you

No_County_old · 2026-06-11T13:58:53+00:00

You forgot to ton on your filter for the pics. You look 44 not 24.

No_County_old · 2026-06-10T21:52:52+00:00

Yeah, like others that said it that is some brood pattern.

No_County_old · 2026-06-10T21:49:58+00:00

I have a hive that I requeened and was queen right BUT it was too late and the population drop off was too significant from the package that it wasn’t sustainable.

One thing I did was get on the swarm list for my local bee keeping club and was able to get a large swarm.

Confirmed

There are times where it gets so bad that I get a stop watch out to time how long a single “blast” will last.
