Thanks, I didn't see any veins so I'm assuming they are dead. You think I should give them another day? They are starting to smell bad.

I put a batch of eggs in the incubator. This my first time incubating eggs. On day 23 a chick started hatching but dies on day 24 I cracked an egg open and there was a fully formed chick. Any Ideas what went wrong and why they aren't hatching. My temp is 100F and I have enough humidity and have...

There is some chemical you spray around the area and it will kill them but dont spray around bees.

If its that green copper stuff it won't affect bees unless you spray it on them, but Linseed will last for years and its only like $20/gal and then just take a sponge and go through the inside a couple times. I also had pine boxes no painted or treated lasted 5-6 years.

Don't pressure treat it. Paint the outside and when it s dry dip it in linseed oil Tongue oil or hot parafine with little bee wax. I wouldn't say its bad to pressure treat it won't affect bees but we don't do it anymore.

Yep! Honeybees take a lot of money. If you do expand and do everything right it will pay off.

Speaking of moisture in hives, We use cedar wood to make there beehives. The lids with ventilation have had more success than those without. Ceder absorbs water and keeps it dry unlike pine it gets all moldy and nasty.

Not all beekeepers want to feed there hives. If Beekeepers didn't feed there hives they would die. Last year the honey crop was so poor we barely got any honey and the 2 million acres of almonds would not be pollinated. Therefore, If you have honey for the bees that is good but is better to feed...

Not enough pollen. They have to feed there young. So what I do and most commercial beekeepers they put soy flower powder in a tub and let them collect it for a pollen substitution. Won't hurt the bees and won't fly and take the chicken feed.

Whats the color of the queen. If its light brown or golden that means the bees will all be Italian and be gentle. If the queen is black or black brown stripped they can be a mix and can be mean a lot of times. Don't check the hive to often because they will start to get cranky. Also put some...

What climate range do you live in?

Where did you order them from?

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the club!!

Your lucky you have brood. Don't even try to find the queen. Almost impossible because they are in a ball.

Take the weaker roo and hold it in your hands. Then start a fight with the stronger one. Once the big one fights back put your hand out. then take the weak roo and start pecking on the bigger one until it surrenders.

She won't touch a chicken unless the chicken is scared and runs. Then she runs like a bullet after them. She killed one roo already. I like the shock collar idea. Thanks.

Does anybody know how to teach an akita to not attack chickens?

Yes I did most of them are those massive ones for $700-800. It is just to big for me.
