Read everything you can get your hands on, listen to the locals, get an epi-pen and choose the site of your apiary carefully. Most of the old timers around here are happy to share knowledge and even give hands on instruction, I bet you will find the same welcoming mindset out your way. They will...

Harbor freight step bit might drill one but be safe and buy two maybe three. I have never had luck with their drill bits, but at that price buy extras if you need them great if you don't return them.

If you were looking for 100-120 psi this would work. The capillary tube in a gauge of this range would not be calibrated to give an accurate reading for 10-12 psi.

Still bubbling away:rockin:

Presidents and @ssholes, quarters or beer pong depending on number of participants and amount of beer to "Consume"!

I will still drink free pbr, but buy it or serve it not a chance.

Being new to mead I figured the nutrients would not hurt, after all they certainly have their work cut out for them. Who knows I might be making bilge water that's unfit for consumption or it could be something good, time will tell and besides it is interesting to see what happens. Just over 72...

On this night 38 years ago the Edmund Fitzgerald went to the bottom of Lake Superior with her crew of 29. Hats off to her crew.

Dunedin one city I can not wait too see again a great place indeed.

Fermentation is well under way through the translucent bucket I can see 3/4 inch layer of sediment already, I imagine that will be rather thick in no time. As suggested I added 3 tsp. of nutrient to help the little critters on there long voyage. Patience will be needed, but that's ok I have...

After this last harvest over Labor Day I was left with 15 lbs. of a comb, cappings, propolis, some brood, pollen, a few dead bees, random bits of honey and of course varroa mites all mixed together in a bucket. With every intention of just throwing this sticky mess in the trash I put it in a...

Pre-dawn is the only way for me. There is no hurry you have all day!

This is my method, and it has yielded a bunch o' bottles. I got some strange looks but once I explained what I wanted them for they went gung-ho, and placed them in boxes on the tops of their dumpsters if I can get em' great if not no big deal. Needless to say, but I have a good variety of...

Over easy, toasted bagel, thick slice sharp cheddar, bacon, avocado and 1 part mayo 1 part sriracha mixed up and spred on both sides.
