to queen rearing. We'd like to thank the University of Guelph Alumni

We purchase rough sawn pine products from the Kuykendall's in Tres
Piedras, NM (30 miles west of Taos) to mill into our bee products.
Here we are loading on March 3rd 12" pine lumber. We will
place it in a solar kiln in Edgewood and add fans and heaters to
speed up the drying process before we can begin to mill this lumber
into supers, frames, tops and bottoms and other hive components.

What is one way to effectively expand the brood nest? This
video shows how to add frames in a manner that will encourage the
hive to quickly expand the brood nest. We are also encouraging
the hive to increase in numbers in advance of a nectar flow.
While working hives at one of our apiaries we noticed a hive where
the bees began to cluster on the front of the hive. What was the
reason? Preparation for swarming, over crowding or over heating?
We take a look into this hive and correct the problems.
