Beekeeping blogging and keeping this journal has been quite an adventure. I actually look forward to writing, about how my bees are doing, or what the last beekeeping task I may have done that week. Blogging about bees is really quite simple, in fact blogging in general is quite simple. There are several different blogging web sites that offer an array of apps, (short for applications), and setting up a blog layout is fun, I would have to say that blogging is pretty easy. Today I’m writing about a specific app, my Flag Counter and how this tool gave me a good topic for this week’s post.
Last week I placed a “Flag Counter” app, (permanently located on the right column of this blog), this “app” allows me to see not only how many visitors have visited my beekeeping blog, but from which country they are “visiting” from. I am fond of this new app, it gives me insight, and encouragement to continue to blog away! Here are a bit of my thoughts
I enjoy honey bees and beekeeping very much, as I’m sure many beekeepers do. My readers are probably mostly beekeepers or folks that are going to be beekeepers, they may even simply be folks that love nature and understand the present plight of our honey bees. I do so admire my fellow beekeepers, I understand their struggles, I rejoice in their success and lastly and certainly not least…I respect their advise. I am still very much a novice in this modest endeavor we call BEEKEEPING! So, I listen and I look at various other beekeeping blogs, and I try to glean as much insight as I can absorb. With that information…be it new information, or information I’ve heard before…I try to understand the ideology behind the information, verify the credibility of the information. IF I find it to be sound beekeeping, then I try to incorporate this newly acquired tool in my own beekeeping management. For in beekeeping…and I’m certain is must be true in any other vocations….we stand on the shoulders of those that have proceeded us, and in our contemporaries. Where would beekeepers and beekeeping for that mater BEE, if not for beekeepers like L.L. Langstroth, C.C. Miller, Charles and Camille Pierre Dadant, Francis Huber, Jay Smith, Moses Quinby, Johannes Mehring, George Imirie, David Miksa, Dr. Keith Delaplane, Jerry Hayes, Bob and Rob Overton, David Burns, Randy Oliver, and countless other beekeepers who’s contribution to beekeeping have promoted, perpetuated, and improved beekeeping as we know it. I am not one of these such people…. but I hope that my blog will inspire, or at least contribute some helpful experiences that others may enjoy reading.
So, that brings me to tonights posting, “I guess good news does travel fast”, I am elated that others are reading my blog and as I said above, it has encouraged me to continue to keep on blogging about my meager and limited beekeeping experiences. The Flag Counter app, by the company Flag Counter, gives me a snap shot of where my readers come from and I wanted to share it with you all, in this posting. Below is what my counter shows as of today 5/31/2010….happy Memorial Day everyone, and Happy Beekeeping.

Welcome to Wallace Family Apiary Beekeeping blog. Today my beekeeping associate and friend Andrew and I set-up another trap out and below are the videos…enjoy.
Our next removal is at a Horse Ranch here in Florida, hopefully scheduled for next week. Below are still photos of today, of the Horse Ranch and the tree where the Feral colony resides (the Horse Ranch owner is posing next to the tree for scale purposes), and of one of the horses at the ranch.
Happy Beekeeping and until the next posting, have a Honey of a day!!!
Got another video for everyone, it’s an update to the swarm I removed yesterday that my fellow beekeeper and friend, Andrew and his sister, called me about. As you know from my previous posts Andrew and I have been working together on swarm removals. Well, as I posted yesterday, Andrew gave me a call and said that his sister had a swarm of bees on a tree….and it was just in front of her place of employment. So, as you know, I went and got it, took it home, and below is a a video of them in my backyard Apiary. I added a second story to the 5 frame nuc, primarily, because they where just plain stuffed in that 9 5/8 Nuc. So, the second story is a medium size nuc, 6 5/8″ and I gave it 5 frames….two frames of brood in all stages along with pollen, a frame completely full of capped honey, the last two frames are un-drawn foundation, (that’ll give them something to do, .
Giving them the second story medium nuc, accomplished several things:
1. in the event I killed or loss the queen during the removal…they have eggs and very young larvae in wich they can raise a new queen.
2. It gives them something to do…feed the open brood.
3. It gives the nuc colony bees that are going to emmerge shortly to replace the ones that are going to die of and future nurse bees to care for the young and feed the queen.
4. The frame of honey wiil give them some food.
5. Lastly the second story gives them more room…..when they draw out all of the frames, I’m going to give them a third medium nuc body with 5 more frames.
Here is the video of the colony and it’s narrated by yours truly:
My friend Andrew, he and I do Live Bee Removals together, gave me a call today on a swarm removal. What are the chances that the swarm removal happened to be where his sister works…talk about Irony. So, he gives me the directions and I take the short ride over to where the swarm is. When I arrive at the address, his sister meets me outside and points me to where the swarm is. The swarm was located in front of her place of employment and hanging on a branch. I assess the swarm and find it to be a large mass of bees. I tell Gina that I need to cut away a few branches to better reach the swarm, and she let’s me know that she has to ask her boss for permission. Her boss exits the building greets me, and gives me the permission to remove a few of the small branches that are directly under the swarm. I take out all the equipment that I need for the removal and proceed to remove the swarm of bees. I meet some of the staff that Gina works with, while the bees move into the swarm box aka 5 frame nuc, (9 5/8 deep). It was an enjoyable experience, Gina and the folks she works with where wonderful, and the bees are in my backyard apiary on a stand….all is well. Below are some photos and the following posts will be video of the removal. Have a wonderful night and happy beekeeping.

Today, Andrew and myself cut down the tree and removed the colony. Here are some photos…some are a bit fuzzy, the lens got honey smeared on it. Andrew took some photos as well, so I’ll add them here when he emails them to me. We placed brood comb and combs with eggs & Larvae in the hive, we are hoping the colony will re-queen itself…..unless we where lucky to have gotten the queen….we will see. Have a great night everyone.
Monday I made up some splits, filled up an entire medium super and three nucs. The concept , to put it as a retired beekeeper once told me, “son, you can’t make bees and make honey too”, is a fact…..meaning, you can’t split up a colonies work force along with it’s stores and hope for those splits to make surplus honey. Those splits won’t make a surplus crop, so you choose one or the other…a honey harvest or increase in the number of colonies. Understanding this, Monday I opted to take one of my mammoth hives and use it for splits and forgo honey production, for that hive. In reality this will also reduce my overall honey harvest…that’s easy enough to understand. My hopes are that I can slowly build up those splits into very strong colonies by summers end, and the following spring be hives that will produce an excellent honey harvest or be used for pollinating crops.
To accomplish this I need to ensure they have enough stores, and most importantly….that they completely fill the cavity in which you place them into. The end of the previous sentence may sound confusing…no worries I’m going to explain myself. By “cavity in which you place them into”…I mean a nuc, a medium, or a deep. This is important to me, because I missed the concept or laws of nature on this one….this may be elementary to some or most of you, but I “missed the boat”, on this one. Take a look at this photo:
Now compare it to this photo(which, incidentally would be an excellent 3 or 5 frame nuc):
In the first photo, “strong 5 frame nuc” the bees completely fill the nuc….this cavity. In the second photo the bees do not completely fill the super. That’s a no brainier, you are probably thinking, but which colony…..if left in the original cavity….is going to progress better and more efficiently. The 5 frame nuc is, and for several reasons: 1. By reducing the entrance,this nuc can better defend itself, 2. This colony will has sufficient amount of bees to keep the brood properly fed, and kept at the right temperature, 3. The 5 frame nuc has a need to expand, because it is congested/crowded. They also need a place to store the incoming nectar and pollen. So, when you add a second story nuc, the bees move up….and provided you have a good nectar and pollen flow comming in, they will readily expand upwards… otherwise you feed them, and continue to feed them until they fill the second upper nuc. Then when both the upper and lower nuc bodies are boiling over with bees, you place the two story nuc into a regular 10 frame super. Just keep in mind if you are using a medium size nuc, then the second nuc also needs to be a medium size nuc and the 10 frame super…needs to be a medium super, conversely if your using a deep size nuc then the other nuc and super you use also must be deeps. I’m currently using mediums because it keeps my operation simple and interchangeable. This is what I have found to work for me…I could be wrong, it wouldn’t be the first, but the nucs just seem to take off faster and explode in growth….I guess time will tell if this was a sound management of my resources or not.
So, this is my apiary growth scheme/plan….I think it’s a good use of my resources, for what I hope to accomplish…and that is increase the number of colonies I have….along with collecting swarms and feral colonies. I’ve got several strong colonies that are going to produce a decent honey crop, and I’m not going to divide them. My “mammoth colony” that I divided is the only colony in that out yard, and consequently isn’t visited as much, and the colony is still very much a viable colony…..just smaller. In my previous division adventure I used queen cells, but in this division adventure I used mated queens……the colonies move at a faster pace, for obvious reasons. I haven’t abandoned my queen rearing plans….I’m going to master it yet. Then, instead of having to buy queens, I’ll have my own queens, (“survival colonies” daughter queens), for my splits…set up in mating nucs.
Like usual I’ve got photos of my splits that I’m going to place below. I moved the medium split into one of my out yards where the community garden is. When I arrived there, the gentleman who is the caretaker of the garden, reported to me that the bees where all over the cucumbers, and squash and that they where able to pick a large harvest from both. Both of these crops did exceedingly well, a marked difference compared to last years crop, when they didn’t have bees on the property. This is what it’s all about…. pollination, pollination, pollination!!! Obviously I didn’t produce the crops: I didn’t plant the crops, I didn’t pull the weeds, I didn’t water the crops, or apply the organic fertilizers that the people who work these crops did…but I did place the honey bee colonies on the property where the vegetables are. So, in my small way, I made a big difference….and it’s nice to know that the bees did what they do best. Ironically, this is what led me into beekeeping….a garden that produced none of fruits and vegetables of the family commonly called, the Cucurbitaceae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbitaceae) , so I finally got to see the garden that benefited from the bees. In the photos I took on Monday, I’ve got photos of the beautiful squash, cucumbers and the wonderfully set up garden, in the slideshow below.

More on the beekeeping blog: This beekeeping Blog, is an enjoyment for me and my family….from time to time, different family members will contribute to this blog. When I started writing this it, I wanted to share how I got into beekeeping, a chronological detail of how I arrived where I am today, and what I hope to accomplish as a beekeeper (actually I hope to one day be a commercial beekeeper….full time beekeeping). In between my chronological account, I also give current updates of what’s going on in my day-to-day beekeeping chores/management. I want to let you, the reader, know that I have horrible grammatical skills, so please forgive my grammatical errors. So, that is us in a nut shell and this is our diary of sorts, of us as a beekeeping family.

Hive at the garden is making up for the other 5 that died during winter. Pulled 6 frames of honey with at least another 6 frames that were not entirely capped.
Faith Mountain Farm – Backyard Bee Hive I stumbled across this site tonight after getting severely side tracked.

I am pleasantly surprised to [...]
