My late Dad made a separator from scratch for separating honey…..Anyone out there interested in buying it? Contact at e-mail address…. at ljp58172@verizon.net…..thanks…….Linda
I am looking to buy, build, trade, or any way I can to get two standard Hives. I am a Master Parachute Rigger with industrial sewing machines, I can repair any netting, Fabric to include replace Boat tops, Awnings, Bee suits( let out or take up), I can also help you in any project you may need help with. I am very happy with the people I met at the last meeting and am looking forward to working with all of you in the future.
So glad to discover that there’s a beekeeping organization closer to home than Ginter Park. Is the next meeting on May 8?
In the meanwhile, I am in need of a frame of brood, some uncapped, to requeen my colony. I have lots of bees and many frames of honey, but no brood or queen in sight. I fear introducing a new queen, in case some workers have started to lay. I understand introducing a frame of brood would allow the hive to raise its own queen without trouble.
Hey Rick,
Yes, the next meeting is May 8.
I’ll post your query to the Richmond Beekeeping Email Group to see if anyone has something. You should join that group so that you will see any responses.
Thanks!
Jones
