Anyone?

Anyone on here in Bryan-College Station area who would set up and service bee hives for a fee?

Check around there should be a beekeepers club local to you, or try Texas Beekeepers Assoc., somebody should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks. I actually contacted a guy from Brazos Valley Beekeepers but he has not been very helpful. I'll keep trying.

My wife read something about a device to put in the hive box from the top that controlled the temp high enough to kill mites but not stress the Bees. Anyone see this or use it?

Haven't heard of that . But I have heard to leave the hives in full sun . Seems to work okay .

My wife and I were discussing putting a couple hives at or place in Kerr county next year.

Having to feed right now through the dearth but 4 hives going strong in the Hill Country and our San Antonio City bees are going gang busters!

That is the coolest hive I've ever seen! Build it yourself?

Strummer,

Is it doable to put commander in an actual bee hive instead of a swarm trap and have the bees show up? I ask because we'd like to have bees out here to help with the garden and fruit trees but I don't have any clue how to move them from a trap to a hive. And I don't want to get the bejesus stung out of me trying.

You sure can . I had a swarm this yeah make its way to one of my boxes with no lure . Best thing would do is try to get it off the ground somehow . I seem to catch more swarms when at least 6 feet off he ground .

No I bought that top bar hive off of 'Bee Thinking':

http://www.beethinking.com/products/top-bar-hive?variant=359090769

They're a little spendy but built out of solid cedar and very well constructed...highly recommended! Plus, I would never buy another hive without an observation window...makes it real easy to take a quick peek into the hive without disturbing the bees to see what's going on.
