greetings all
Tom
I have been using linseed oil for about three weeks with excellant acceptance
from
my bees-very few stings, a good side benefit my wife likes my lotion soft
touch.
Last week I removed a swarm from a second story house that had been there some
months, judging from the amount comb from the fire break to the ceiling
studs, I was
able to get the queen, colony and some brood comb, but many of the worker bees
hide behind the fiberglass showerstall that even the queen in my swarmbox
could not
draw out, a few days later another bee-rescurer came out and listened with
his
stethascope and confirmed that they were all worker bees in that space, how
could he hear that??? As a first year beekeeper will i ever develop the level
of skill this god-like person must have?
bewildered,
lance
