I’d trade you my hot sauce for a small jar if interested.
I'd buy it in an instant. Thanks again for sharing, Eric!

It’s good stuff for sure and is a regular in our hot sauce rotation.matt.wu wrote:^ his hot sauce is great.sierra11b wrote:Will you be selling any? My wife has been on a tea and honey kick.

Thanks for the heads up, and I keep you in mind as I go forward. I am lucky in one respect, my local Bee supply company has a seasoned apiary close to ours. So they know how the weather/pollen is in our area. Due to us being so close to Pikes Peak different parts of our city have different variations that affect your hives. For example their other apiary 10 miles south of us requires a totally different midset to get a good pull of honey.jk103 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 8:11 pmGood luck with your new hobby. I have been a beekeeper for almost ten years the first year is easy the second year not so much. You most likely will add hives but don't be mistaken it requires a lot of work. New beekeepers give it up after a couple of years once they find out the work that's involved. PM me with questions I can help you out to a point beekeeping is local what works here may not work for you. Join Beesource and check out Michael Palmers vids he is a revered beekeeper from Vermont.
I lost most of my hives over last winter because work during last summer didn't allow for me to take care of them. It's an expensive mistake. I had 45 gallons of honey last year this year only 25 gallons.
Tom it ended up being more like 13lbs. But we were hoping for 30. With a new hive they spend a lot of time building it out instead of making honey. So maybe next year it will be 30.

We left it on the frames so that bees don't have to start over next year and fill up the frames. That way they won't waste a few months of work building it again.
I put a candy board on ours and some pollen patties to see if they survive the winter.
Yeah I have seen the flow hives. Here they aren't recommend here unless you know how to regulate how much honey are taking. Because if you don't you will starve your hive. They will either leave or die in the winter without enough honey.bedlam wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 1:26 amThere were some guys locally (in Oz) that have designed self-tapping hives. The stuff literally puts itself in the jars ;-)
