Many bee keepers will probably do it for free, because they get a free queen and swarm of bees. I would, if I lived close enough. People other than bee keepers are likely to poison or smother the bees. This isn't their fault, this is the fault of the designer of that water meter cover. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BeeKeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeKeeping</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bees</a>

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒓My bees are producing young which is a good sign that they are thriving! I'm very happy to see several frames of brood in there now. A lot of it capped. There are a lot of uncapped eggs and larvae too. I have a picture of the queen, Bee Arthur, she is circled in blue. 🐝🐝🐝 The solid yellow caps on the 1st picture are brood or bees about to hatch. They have a fair amount of honey and pollen spread around too.Have a wonderful evening everyone!<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HarpHives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HarpHives</a>

Brian :python: :flask: :html5:Today I put the hives on two proper hive stands. Both of these are full of bees and bringing in lots of early pollen. We had a bad winter, so we're down to two. I'll split at least one of these and then we'll catch some wild swarms. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a>

TomI added some plates to attach the bottom board for moving the nuc hives around and to stack them 2 deep for normal or use as a bait hive. I also added a traditional 'looks like a tree hole' feature to the entrance, put a piece of corrugated plastic sheet under the cover so they can't glue it down, and used some canopy bungee cords to hold down the cover. It's baited up and 5 heavy waxed frames in the top box.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NucHive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NucHive</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwarmTrap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwarmTrap</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BaitHive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BaitHive</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeSwarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeSwarm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apiary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a>

AI6YR BenBeekeeping glove repair. My son's cheap Bezos Expo (Chinese import) beekeeping gloves lasted only one season, but he likes them. Big rip in the palm at the seam.

AI6YR BenThis paper on avocado pollination:"Bring beehives into the grove. The University of California farm advisors have usually recommended 1 – 2 strong hives per acre, but Ish-Am (2000) suggests that 1 hive is rarely sufficient, and in many cases 4 hives are required. California growers usually have to rent hives (in 2002 hive rentals averaged $42 per hive), but sometimes beekeepers will drop a load of 80 hives for free if the grower has good bee forage nearby. Bees should have water available; floating boards on ponds or reservoirs enables them to land and drink without drowning"<a href="https://ucanr.edu/sites/default/files/2016-07/121264.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ucanr.edu/sites/default/files/2016-07/121264.pdf</a><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/avocado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avocado</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a>

AI6YR BenAvocado pollination season in Ventura County. This is a typical commercial hive operation - they stack hives on pallets and move them by flatbed truck. The downsides here are the sheer density of bees requires each hive to fly a lot farther for forage than normal, and there is a lot of competitive stress on the bees. Typically you only need 1 to 2 hives per acre for optimal avocado set, but they need to be distributed through your grove. Instead, all the bees are in one place and they rely on the bees to forage further and further to get coverage, and they use much more than 2 hives an acre as insurance. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a>

TomI made a deep Langstoth box, then I cut it in half and made two 5-frame nuc hives. 100% recycled wood except the frames shown. Painted with boiled linseed oil, the 'white' is zinc oxide mixed in, and the green is green iron oxide and zinc oxide mix. Migratory type covers, no inner. Cleat handles after it was painted so a dado could be cut so they could be glued. Glued and screwed throughout with some dowels to align the panel pieces.

AI6YR BenBeekeeping experiment FAIL. Last year, attempted to use Rustoleum Never Wet over metal tape to create an ant-proof barrier. It does not work, it's not slick enough to keep ants crawling up it. Plus, the tape eventually peels off. You also see that dirt and mud sticks to the "Never Wet" surface. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/experiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#experiment</a>

AI6YR BenField mouse moved into an empty hive. Need to deal with three of these later (requires spray bottles of bleach, N95, gloves, and trash bags). Though the risk is low, field mice could have Hantavirus. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/yuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yuck</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a>

AI6YR BenWhew, finally checked all the various hives we've rescued. Loss over the winter was approx. 50%, most of them to ants (which is typical for us). We're up from that now due to a lot of swarm captures. The hives that survived are all extremely strong, we left them extra honey in an additional super in fall, and it really made a difference. The fix to the ants would be to visit all the hives after rain and treat the stands to keep ants off (which is a LOT of work... considering this is just an occasional hobby/favor to people we know with avocado groves/etc.) . <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a>
