This is our first year raising honeybees in our new beehives, and i wanted to make beekeeping videos to show you all that you too can raise bees. We are not the experts here, but one learns by doing. So we do things, make videos. Gardenfork.tv Distributed by Tubemogul.
i love your beekeeping videos, so cool!
Also, i work in a bookstore and the Dummies books are nothing to scoff at, they are some of the best selling instructional books out there. They got me through all my biology and chemistry courses in college. Plus they even helped me learn to sew and get started playing the guitar, two things i always wanted to do but didn’t really think i could learn.
i’m very pro-dummies obviously. : )

Glad to see your not wearing your WHOLE-Y pants this time. Seems your all geared up and well protected.

Would cranking the sugar through a flour sifter get you a more uniform distribution? Just a thought.

good idea. yes, it would, but i didn’t have one.
you could pre-load the sifter, then open up the hive. there is also a powdered sugar puffer on the market that is being redesigned that will work even better for varroa mite sugar treatment.

yes, thx, and i made sure to put the hive covers away from my feet. so the bees on the covers would not see my socks.

How about a regular hand pump duster, but CLEARLY marked as devoted for bee sugar ONLY!!! I suggested the flour sifter since you could deliver a more pinpoint, potent, less drifty, wasteful mite bombing as the puffy methods would. You could get the delivery system spot on without waste.
I don’t keep bees. I’d like to, but my neighbors are too close.. Also, if I set up hives my partner would freak. He’s “colony collapse” aware and worried but nimby.
I’m a plant guy. Bees are crucial!

i’ve seen those dusters, and the one for bees is similar, the company is doing a redesign and will produce them again soon. thx, eri c

I don’t see how more bees are a bad thing.
