If you have lost the link:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213654524739524945979.0004b61e928fae4542d0d&\
msa=0


To put your location on the map, click Edit (in red on the upper right of the list of beekeepers), then enter your address in the bar to the right of "GOOGLE".

When you have located your spot, (sometimes Google Maps isn't entirely accurate and you have to go down the road a little way), click on the place marker icon on the top of the actual map (it's in the middle between a hand and a graph) and drag it to where you want it.  If Google Earth is being helpful, you can zoom in close enough to place your hive in its actual spot in your yard.

When you let go, a box will pop up that lets you give your place a title and a description.

There is a "placement icon" in the box. If you click on it, you can choose the color you want to use for your placement indicator/balloon.  (The “natural group” are using green.)

If you hate how it looks in the list to the left of the map, you can click on your spot in the list (I think new places are always on the bottom) and "Delete" becomes an option and you can start over.

When you are happy with your balloon, click Done where Edit used to be.

I do not know how to enter information on the map. What does each symbol represent?

Hello Beekeepers,
I need some help!? 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

I think I'm closest and I'd love the chance to help my alma mater out. 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?

Hello All,
With bee school winding down and new packages on the way, it's time to get
serious?about?our mentoring program.?Folks who already have bees and had a
mentor to help them along the path understand how important these relationships
are.? 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

I don't have much experience either, but I did get to play with the 5 frame
observation hive at Chestnut Ridge for a couple of years.?Chris Richmond is
currently taking that one on. ?It's actually outside so it's easier to
maintain.? 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.
