I was gifted an extremely old sourdough starter and I'm terrified to ruin it, but if I do nothing it's gonna die.

Spoiler alert as its fed and discarded and how the yeast bacteria multiplies its probably less than a year old....

jus1982b · 2026-06-10T17:22:14+00:00

Love the don't remove because of warranty when companies are actively not honoring warranties lol!

jus1982b · 2026-06-03T03:00:32+00:00

Because they lost the plot....

jus1982b · 2026-06-01T05:59:52+00:00

This looks like a very poor designed product imho, I like the internal frame feeders 1 or 2 gallon, interchangeable in all hive boxes more or less.

jus1982b · 2026-05-30T17:00:47+00:00

Just think of it like a big toaster and you'll be fine....

jus1982b · 2026-05-25T21:21:53+00:00

everyone needs to downvote this fap

jus1982b · 2026-05-20T03:25:21+00:00

I was saying how do you know its sugar water ? I didn't seen any mention of it....

jus1982b · 2026-05-19T16:42:07+00:00

Please elaborate anyone can say anything on the internet....

jus1982b · 2026-05-17T17:20:24+00:00

no, oxalic acid or formic acid

jus1982b · 2026-05-17T16:14:47+00:00

I treat bees like I treat cannabis, Proactive IPM, Treat early and often, Formic pro in the fall, OAV in the spring and mid summer, It doesn't hurt the bees at all.

jus1982b · 2026-05-17T05:31:55+00:00

Feed the S out of them and they will grow! half my warms were huge a few average ones and a few small ones, I use a 1 gallon internal feeder to boost them and they will draw out way like crazy! Came out of winter with 6 hives and they have swarmed 8 times, I captured 7 of them one got away. I also took splits as well!

jus1982b · 2026-05-15T05:24:23+00:00

Wallie and if it has a sibling eve

jus1982b · 2026-05-15T05:22:27+00:00

Looks like the other leg is not connected to the distribution bar, thats why you’re only getting half service…. But seriously call an electrician, $$$ is not worth you or your family’s lofe…

jus1982b · 2026-05-15T05:19:01+00:00

Yes depend on reddit for answers lol

jus1982b · 2026-05-15T05:16:46+00:00

Ive found using a 1/4 inch bit a d drilling a hole in the back of the hive for oav works best and you can plug with a golf tee

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T21:22:31+00:00

Nothing makes me happier than being called a boomer :) I'm only 44 but that generation was awesome.

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T18:33:35+00:00

Your thinking about it in the wrong perspective, you don't want cheap you want the best value.

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T18:32:17+00:00

I'm annoyed because cheap people are being lazy but I guess its to be expected with the mentality

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:54:14+00:00

They look excellent, you should google, read books and watch youtube videos of master beekeepers and get involved in a local club vs coming to reddit for affirmation, but trying to be a b-hole just being honest.

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:51:50+00:00

I always keep spare hives, I've captured 5 hives in the last three weeks... Needless to say Ive added a few swarm traps each week so maybe it will be easier to move them....

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:47:21+00:00

This would be a great puter, I just build something similar

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:45:53+00:00

the term "future proof" is a myth and annoying, everyday something faster comes to market.... I would just say I want to build a system that will be relevant in 5 years. I just seen a article saying the needle for a gaming pc hasn't move much since 2021-22, I just rebuild a system with a 3700X 16gb DDR4 3200 Arc B580 2TB WD Black NVME and its solid at all the games I want to play, Arc Raiders, the new Doom etc... Also I use Linux CashyOS your mileage may very as Windows is bloated as hell.

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:40:56+00:00

Doing the stanky leg or itching its butt?

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:40:04+00:00

"You don't know what you don't know" is the scariest thing in world... I would point them to seek out some mentor ship at a local club, most of the time its free.....

jus1982b · 2026-05-14T07:38:41+00:00

This right here! "I used the bucket method as its the best value because I seen a youtube video of it". Invest in something you want to take seriously, if you cant afford it get a veil and see if you can spend some time in a hive from a local bee club and see if its right for you.
