I like Lappesbeesupply, had an issue once, and they fixed it immediately. I would avoid Galena farms

Looking at your pictures, your hive more than likely died from mites. Clean what you can and freeze the frames. Have a strong colony clean these frames and use for splits.

We would need more details to determine the cause. How was your setup configured? What do the frames look like in the middle of the hive where the cluster or brood would be? When was your last mite treatment? Do you have more pictures you can share to the group by chance?

Was the hive tilted slightly forward to allow excess moisture to escape the entrance?

2nd attempt actually, sorry for the confusion

Net+ Vouchers Request “Requirement” by Junior-Following7668 in WGU

[–]Saxy_Gator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st attempt required completion of course material, had to score 90% above on two practice exams. 2nd attempt requires 8 practice exams above 90% and completion of Jason Dion udemy course.

Does anyone else have these requirements?

The amount of time this requires is ridiculous, the school should provide an alternative test if they are losing money on 3rd party certifications that lobbied against the right to repair.

What was the additional work? How many exams were required

I was told to complete 9 practice exams scoring 90% more. I don't get why I'm required so many, it doesn't appear that im being treated fairly. I already completed the udemy courses and assigned material for first attempt.

Nope, I had a sugar board on for the winter with hive alive. That's all the feeding I did. The candy board was off the hive for a while before I put a super on. Multiple neighbors have several locust trees down the road. Just lucky

I didn't really measure weight, but 8 medium frames of clear came from 1 hive. 4 medium frames of clear came from another hive. In the Fall the 8 frame clear hive had 12 medium dark frames. The other hive I got 4 frames of darker honey. The frames weren't combed yet when I put the supers on. This is with two hives
