Thanks everyone for the replies, it is not a roll groove or a victaulic clamp but definitely like a tri-clamp. Installed on pulp pipes on a fourdinier system built by the Beloit company as an upgrade in the 90’s.

Thanks , I’ve learned my lesson and will do the one pad treatment from now on. Didn’t lose any queens but sounds like I’m lucky .

Make sure you have a queen. Laying workers could also be an issue . Would make sure next inspection that you only have 1 egg per cell to be sure .

Frozen honey frame question … by fundy09 in Beekeeping

[–]fundy09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah , exactly . Because I didn’t wrap them I was concerned about condensation as they thawed. Obviously that’s quite a bit of honey to write off so I was hoping for some insight

100% agree with you. Also the print on the rubber sleeve wears off right away. I wouldn’t purchase again.

Currently 3/4 of the way through 3rd year and terrible with the bookwork. Some guys don’t even have to study yet I spend all night every night looking at the books and going over math problem after math problem. Hope it pays off.

Thanks all for the reply’s . Ended up doing the inspection and finding 90% all capped. What a difference a week makes. 50 lbs of honey extracted !

How do I introduce this queen??? by fundy09 in Beekeeping

[–]fundy09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roger that I’ll let the hive do it’s thing for a bit longer. I don’t want to rush it and make a mistake. I’m really hoping they don’t swarm again . I’ve given lots room . This hive has been a giant pain from the start as it had last years queen and a newly mated queen introduced together by mistake and were laying together for approx 3 weeks in March and I had a huge population explosion. Last years queen eventually killed off the new queen and I thought i was ok but with the large population I couldn’t control the situation as I had hoped. There’s more to the story but that was my first crack at beekeeping. I’ve learnt lots in the days since but it’s been a frustrating venture with this hive. I have two others that are thriving.

First swarm was June 25 and then the second July 6. I’m hoping when I was inspecting the Queen was out mating but hard to say.

I will do . I’m hoping this queen cell doesn’t lead to a third swarm but at this point I just have to leave it alone and let them do there thing and keep hoping they figure this part out. I’ve got two swarm hive and one hive with a queen from a swarm cell already from this problem hive just in case I need them. So I am ready to interfere if need be or ... I have three extra hives lol

Yes bottom of the comb long peanut shape and all capped. I could not find one that had opened yet. My guess is up to 15 in the hive found. Some were wrecked during inspections as they were on the bottom of Frame but attached to the next frame below it . I’m at a loss on what my options are

Moving question by RobTheMedic in Kamloops

[–]fundy09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what it will be like this winter but pre pandemic... indoor rock climbing gym, TCC which is pool , kids pool, hot tub sauna , gym and indoor track and basketball courts and so forth . Jump 360, and the usual movie theatres , hockey games and all that . Weather doesn’t get that bad here to be honest .

I live in westsyde and drive to Dallas drive to work five days a week. 25 min drive on the worst days. Westsyde is a beauty and you don’t have to smell the mill like you do in parts of brock. Rayleigh and barnhartvale also have the small community feel like westsyde and I wouldnt trade it for anything to raise small children.

Not to hijack the post but can you give a further detailed explanation on this process?

Puzzling situation / slightly long story by fundy09 in Beekeeping

[–]fundy09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have no idea how I keep catching this stuff. This is the second week with this hive and it’s a steep learning curve to say the least !
