You can....
1. add a queen excluder and another deep hive body.
2. add a queen excluder and an Illinois or medium (they are the same thing) super.
A 10-frame deep hive body will give the bees 70# of honey.
A 10-frame medium super will give the bees 40# to 45# of honey.
To survive winter...
This is almost like the Snugli I used with my son. It was made of denim and could be worn as a front carrier for infants and a back carrier for older babies. The child's seat area and back support adjusted with the use of snaps. I used it constantly.
WBF - tell them of your food issues immediately. I have tried to inform retreat coordinators at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance, and have never had any issues. But if they can't do something special for you, ask to bring your own food. We have a friend who always brings his own food to church...
Our family is a mix of full names and nick names. :D In my dad's family, a baby would be named for a relative (historical or living), so a nick name sometimes was a big help in knowing who was being spoken to or called. :)
My mom's name was Margaret and she never introduced herself as Peggy...
Lori, stop feeding when the bees no longer take it. In the case of new colonies, this can be through autumn when daytime temps reach 40. Don't feed during winter. Next spring you can start feeding again until you see they aren't taking the syrup. The timing of this will depend on the...

This is not the first forum we've both joined and posted on, so it doesn't bother us that we are both on this one.
Jacques Pepin has a couple cookbooks, Fast Food My Way and More Fast Food My Way that have a number of good healthy recipes including three that I make regularly.... beef stew, bow tie pasta with fried eggs, warm chocolate cakes with apricot cognac sauce. When some of his recipes call for...
valmom, glad to hear you got a new queen. Our queen was released with 3 days... I know this because we checked after 3 days.. The workers won't take long to release her majesty..... it is vital to the health of the colony. They will feed her while she is in the queen cage.
I prefer to can blueberries without sugar. That way I can use them anyway I want... in muffins, pancakes, or tea bread.....even jam.

We adopted a Great Pyrenees from a no-kill shelter when he was over a year old. We were the third family to adopt him. He went from being an unloved, unwanted city dog to the guardian of our family members, home, and eventually 2 acres, a cat, another dog, and poultry flock.
Adults dogs have...
Bee, I don't know about K0xxx's pyr, but Titan was a pure Pyr with markings. They are called badger markings, and are seen more often in Europe than here, according to our vet.
