UNC Biology has a 3 frame observation hive that they would like to get re-established.? I gave them 3 frames about 4 years ago and installed them.? I went back about 2 years ago and sold them another 3 frames and installed them.? It's time for a new batch of 3 frames and I was wondering if someone who lives closer to to UNC would be willing to work with them on this. ? The observation hive is in a basement classroom so installing them invloves hopping down in to a window well (seems like the window well is about 6 feet deep) and having someone hand you the hive through the window.? Install the bees outside, then pass the observation hive back through to the inside.? ? The folks that I have dealt with down there are super gracious and very appreciative.? They say that the bees are a favorite of their students and do make quite an impression on them.? All I have done so far is simply deliver the bees and let them deal with them.? I believe if someone did a few checks per year, they may be able to extend the life of the hive past one or two years.? The 3 frame observation hive is tough for the bees to sustain. ? Any takers?? Please contact Cathy Lohmann atclohmann AT email.unc.edu [mailto:clohmann AT email.unc.edu] to set it up.? I'd also like to know that it has been handled so just let me know so I can mark it off of my list. ? Thanks, ? Lewis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't have any experience with observation hives, tho. Can y'all clue me in to major issues, besides being too small to forage well?

I believe a new beekeeper with a competent mentor has a much improved chance of success.? If you had a mentor that helped you get on your beekeeping feet, now is the time to pay off that debt.? You can't repay your mentor, but you can?pay it forward [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward] . ? I put together a google map to try to help folks connect.? So far I have been impressed with the participation.? The map includes over 60 folks and hundreds of hives.? The map has nearly 7000 views so far.? We have about 13 folks who say they are willing to mentor, 10 folks who are looking for a mentor/bee buddy, and 40 folks who I would describe as "undeclared".? They have entered their location and some information, but have not clearly said "I will mentor" or "I need a mentor". ? If you have entered your information on the map, I hope you will stop back in and read over what you have entered.? If you are willing to mentor, say that in your description.? If you are looking for a mentor or a bee buddy, say that in your description.? Also, please check your location and verify that your placemarker is still in the correct location.? I believe some may have been inadvertantly moved around as folks were editing the map. ? The map may be found athttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213654524739524945979.0004b61e928fae4542d0d&msa=0 ? If you need help, I'll do my best. ? Thanks, ? Lewis ? ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It gets stocked in the spring and the bees are removed in October (unless the colony has already collapsed).? Hive beetles were certainly an issue.? Keeping it covered with something to keep the light out when not in use seems to be important as well.? Having a support hive that you can pull resources from as needed is important as well ? Hopefully others with good experience will chime in. ? Lewis ? ?
