Welcome!

Spring is upon us. Feed your bees NOW to avoid starvation or at least check their store of honey. Active bees can wipe out their stores quickly. Order your bees before the end of this month!!! Don't forget the pollen patties.

If you had SHBs - they are in the cluster, install traps before the cluster breaks. Active SHB's will eat every egg laid and you will lose your hive. Look now for dead SHBs in the floor of the hive, if present act fast. Put out swarm traps NOW. Bees will leave hives if conditions are bad every spring. Get yours now.

There are multiple hives and plans with the same basic name here. Use the search bar at the top left of this page if you do not see exactly what you want and came here by a search engine. Use the "Older Posts" hyperlink at bottom for more hives. For a larger photo, click on the photo. Got Small Hive Beetles? Use the traps in our Build It Yourself section and get the upper hand.
