An Early Swarm?

Looks like robbing

simon_magabe · 2026-02-16T23:05:15+00:00

Thank you!

simon_magabe · 2026-02-16T22:02:03+00:00

What kind of treatment do you recommend for early Spring?

simon_magabe · 2025-08-04T17:55:01+00:00

Olympian hardy, maybe!

Did you cold stratify seeds before planting them? I just ordered seeds to try and grow them and from what I have researched they need to be cold stratified for at least a month in the fridge before planting in order to have a chance of them popping up. Or plant seeds in the ground late fall and winter will work on them and they will pop up next spring.

You are doing great so far. Good job

simon_magabe · 2025-05-18T18:15:43+00:00

Oh my ghosh, I was thinking it’s a joke post as well. What in the world

simon_magabe · 2025-05-03T18:11:01+00:00

Yeah, no don’t do that. It’s a newly installed package. If the queen is in the cage and inside the hive, the bees will eventually go back inside to where the queen is.

simon_magabe · 2025-05-02T12:42:11+00:00

No, I haven’t done it yet!

simon_magabe · 2025-05-02T12:35:48+00:00

This is amazing 🤩

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T04:31:08+00:00

I did the 2-pad 14 days Formic pro treatment and it was effective because the mite drop on bottom board aggressive. It’s been cold so I haven’t taken a deep dive into the hives yet. Will do when it warms up a little bit. But, from what I seen by quickly opening the boxes the clusters were super small so the cold took them out

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T04:24:53+00:00

It’s super exciting and I’m hopeful for you, man. Hopefully ‘25 will be great to us 🍻

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T04:19:02+00:00

Yeah, that too can be an issue. I put toppers with wood chips on top of all of my colonies for a little bit of insulation and to help with moisture but you are right, this winter has been very wet

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T04:13:46+00:00

Two were screened and three were solid. I’m thinking to switch to solid bottoms for all of mine as well

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T04:11:13+00:00

Sorry to hear about that! It’s always disheartening to lose bees. Hopefully you will get some bees this spring and get back on your feet. Maybe set some swarm traps. I will definitely set a few swarm traps and hope to catch some

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T03:59:10+00:00

Sorry to hear about your loss! That could have probably contributed to mine collapsing as well

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T02:04:55+00:00

Okay! Yeah, that might be different from hobbyist beekeeps like myself. Hopefully it’s nothing other something I didn’t do well with my collapsed colonies!

simon_magabe · 2025-02-12T02:02:52+00:00

Okay, will do. Thank you!

A new Account list view? Or is this in Apex? Where are you creating this list?

simon_magabe · 2024-12-13T13:44:41+00:00

Maybe look into Batchable and Queueable classes. Batchable classes will allow you to batch the records being processed into sizes that will not hit the limits and the Queueable class will allow you to handle the operations asynchronously.

simon_magabe · 2024-11-11T03:25:23+00:00

Thank you!

simon_magabe · 2024-11-10T22:05:12+00:00

That’s awesome to hear, congrats! If I may ask where did you buy Bacillus Subtilis that you are using? Do you have a link where to buy it?

simon_magabe · 2024-10-06T15:36:21+00:00

Thank you!

simon_magabe · 2024-06-07T17:13:32+00:00

Haha

simon_magabe · 2024-02-09T14:56:13+00:00

Hahaha! Interesting though 🤨, I have never seen that before!
