I am doing talks/lectures on Honeybee Conservation and what backyard beekeepers can do to actually help honeybees--THERE IS NO SENSE IN ANY COLONY BEING LOST TO BEE-KEEPER ERR!(most bee death direct result of bee-keeper)! Small groups, Community Gardens, individual consultation, schools...Why did your bees die? DID YOUR PACKAGE/SPLIT BEES COME WITH UNDETECTED DISEASE AND DOOMED FROM THE START? Know the facts--bees disappear last autumn? (trust me it wasnt a swarm) dead out in winter, or spring collapse?? SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO PERPLEXING QUESTIONS FOR HEIRLOOM COLONIES RESULTS--If you are exasperated with the huge investment in questionable equipment, unsure of advice from bee dealers or social groups, and ready to GIVE UP because you can't keep your bees alive? (usually takes 2-3 years of death b4 most stop trying)--wide road to death--narrow road to life-- but so easy...Lisza Christine-- Founder-- Western Reserve Honeybee Conservation Society--

It may be to cold to feed because bees will culster around 40 degrees. They will not break to feed. But you can try they will feed during daytime tempertures. Hopefully in the 60s. If you can move some empty frames in the top middle from the bottom that would work. Or you can extract 3 frames and make room.

I want to medicate my bees by feeding syrup but the book says the bees will use the syrup to store honey and I know my hive is full. What should I do? I just took off the super because it isn't supposed to be over the winter.

Yet another reason why consumers need to buy honey only from their local beekeeper: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/science/honey-launde...

 

This is frightening, truly frightening.

Check out  http://www.greaterclevelandbeekeepers.org/  They offer a great four week beginner course starting in Feb.  I took the class and started a hive last year.

 

http://www.geaugacountybeekeepers.org/index.html is an option too.

I am located in Geauga County and was wondering if anyone could suggest a place/group for me to get involved with in this area? I am planning on start a hive this spring but have experience. Any suggestions?

Thank you for help!

Stark County Beekeepers meeting is Tuesday, January 5, at St. Timothy on Third Street, in Massillon at 7:00 pm. We will be discussing topics and projects for the coming year and how we can implement them. Come prepared to
discuss the topics you would like covered and the projects you believe
the club should be involved in. We will, of course discuss bees,
please bring your questions and thoughts about beekeeping.

To see what honeybee lines are working well in your area, check with your local beekeeper club. Most Ohio counties have one, you can find the club nearest you here.

Your county bee inspector would be a good resource to chat with as well. Listing here.
