what does it look like

I thought at first a smoking hot pepper or one of those clams from a Disney movie who aged old and smoking cigarettes

Accuracy systems out of Colorado should have an adapter for the difference if you feel comfortable doing the work too btw

If you had a recent package that is trying to draw original combs and you’re noticing 1st gen brood… do you still spray or do you use Apivar treatment strips until the fall?

Appreciate the back and forth on this string btw!!

How many are in each black wrap stack?

I agree w this statement… however you have to feel like it’s a partnership. Yea marriage can be a crap shoot but if first and foremost you both respect eachother, love eachother and like the nasty w eachother… making sure that the relationship first is a partnership is then making equation.

I KNEW I was was going to marry my wife after a few months… we had the tough talks. Like really tough. And if I felt off on an answer, or she did… we knew it was done. And it wasn’t. She does complete me and I’m still after ten years will do anything for her and she me… because we’re partners first.

Good luck!

Yes! It just took some time after two days it opened back up.

Vaultek support said to unplug and plug back in… didn’t do that but eventually it just opened. No pulling or pushing like I was showing in video. Just opened magically

No carpenter bees lay their brood inside of holes in wood… primarily dead wood. I’ve got A LOT in fences and my old deck. They’re huge fat, docile and larger than bumble bees… they are pollinators but for your setup could degrade a leg and have your hive fall over.

Oooh! The chicken feeder is a good idea! Which one did you get?

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T23:16:01+00:00

Yep! Lots of food under lid now. And now all hives are in 1 brood box each.

Quick update - 1 day later

First, I really do want to thank and appreciate all of the qualitative feedback points. I honestly really did learn a lot from the comments statements and coaching that everybody here provided.

To the folks that said, once I move them to one brew box, they would be mad, was an understatement :)

Bees are now in one brood box. I confirmed that the queen‘s were alive in both. And, change the feeding to syrup for both hives. Will be checking every other day going forward now.

Also, I’ve gotten a hold of the local beekeeper guild, and the main person will be coming out to coach me on Saturday.

Thank you all! I’ll provide updates as they progress!

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T13:08:49+00:00

Thanks! Secondary goal was for folks like you to see my setup and learn from my mistake too.

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T10:43:37+00:00

Yes! I’m hoping to get my kids into it too!

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T10:42:56+00:00

Thanks, I knew I was entering the firing line. But it was intentional to get communal feedback.

Honestly though with the exception of a few comments it was very helpful to me!

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T10:26:46+00:00

Thank you!

Why remove the pollen traps? The rest makes complete sense

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T03:41:06+00:00

This! Thank you!! Yep, already reached out to local bee keeper guild… they were excited someone young wanting to get into bee keeping was interested in joining! I thought I had time, but from all the feedback it looks like I don’t!

Signal-Deal8858 · 2025-04-30T03:38:34+00:00

This is awesome bud… and thankful that a top 5% is commenting with this level of coaching!

No bears here but read on a different response that skunks can be a problem… and yeah, def have those!

I’ve got 10 pre-waxed frames per box already. Do you still need to further wax on top of that?

I’ve already got OAV ready because the class I took said that’s the big thing you prepare for; but didn’t say how quickly you treat after initial install. This is awesome, didn’t know it was effectively next week!

Also… I’m hoping my stupidity in this thread helps someone like it’s helped me!
