    Strange. I pulled the WordPress notification out of my spam folder and safelisted it. Try again? miltezzard@yahoo.com

    I hope this cutout went well, Susan. As Ceebs offered, if this got pushed back for whatever reason or if you do one on a weekend- I am anxious to help. Still searching for a colony since the swarm I attracted this spring failed 🙁

    Thanks

    I’ve not read the Idiot’s Guide, but I’ve pored through Bush’s book a couple of times- the cycles are fascinating.

    Yes! I have a mentor (Annie Z), suit, all supplies and tools. Annie was kind enough to donate the hive body, some frames and wax to glue in my starter strips. I’ve been to Moorpark and also attend meetings at the nursery at the VA. Now I just need those bees to scoot in the entrance and build some comb.

    Hi Susan- thanks for the reply. Unfortunately since this is my first hive,
    I don’t have any drawn comb so they are really starting from scratch!

    Hi Paul- I am a newbie with hive boxes, frames, etc. on order from Brushy mountain- they just haven’t arrived yet. I live in the Miracle Mile and I’d be very interested, but without the new homes ready yet I totally understand if I miss out on this one. (I do have suit, smoker, etc. tho :))

    Thanks

    Since I have a couple of dogs I don’t want to put at risk, I’m planning on locating my hives on the garage roof- A bit of a hassle, but I’m hoping it’s the best solution. They’ll probably be oriented with their entrances facing south unless someone advises otherwise.

    Thanks for sharing! Not a well written article over-all with several contradictions throughout.
