you have lost the link:http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213654524739524945979.0004b61e928fae4542d0d&\ msa=0To
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 -------------- next part

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 ? ? -------------- next part

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. ? Lewis ? ?
