@alhambraorchardapiary4882
@alhambraorchardapiary4882 3 ай бұрын
You will need to be sure the bees know they are queenless. Then make a thumbprint into the comb and stick your cell in the depression. Look up Gus Mitchell he has a video of using cut queen cells on youtube that does a good job of showing how this is done.

I put out some traps they were 3 traps all together, 2 of them were single deeps with 2 or 3 frames with either old foundation / empty foundation / partials and one was a double medium with 4~ frames with propolis I don't think there was comb in that one. I sprayed it a few times with swarm commander on the entrance and the inside. But since it was on other people's property I put them on Milk Crates to keep them a bit off the ground. Do you think they will still work or do you think they're too low and I should put them higher up next time?

I've caught swarms in hive equipment stacked on the ground so for sure possible. From what I've read higher is better but not a necessity.

It's hardens the bar and helps it last longer, and it helps add creaminess to the lather.

I used a little bit more water on paper because of evergreen scions. Set +1 celsius on my fridge, but thermometer shows approximately "0" . Sometimes temperature drops to "-1" celsius and I can feel the paper becomes slightly stiff in zipper bags. The temperature in the fridge varies between +1 and -1. Will it damage my scions?
@alhambraorchardapiary4882
@alhambraorchardapiary4882 5 ай бұрын
To be honest we have never grafted evergreens. With that being said I would be concerned that temp will freeze and damage your scions. If it were me, I would bump it up to at least a little above freezing.
