Well, I thought we could try something new in the forum and see how it goes.
What is KARMA?
It is a random FREE give away to benefit the forum community. It is also a way for members to give back to the forum community. So I'm going to go first and we will see what follows.
I'm going to start by offering a Queen Introduction Frame
Some have found this to work really well in getting a laying worker hive queen right.

How it works:
- To be eligible you must have made 30 post before January 22, 2013
- To enter, you must reply to this post
- Only one entry per person, if you reply more than once, only the first reply will count
- On or after January 29th, at a time of my choosing, I will use random.org to pick a winner
- I will contact the winner by Private Message and the winner has 24 hours to PM me back with their address

Good Luck everyone!
Some ground rules for future Karmas if anyone is compelled to give back to the forum community.
- Let's try to not have more than one Karma going at a time, so try to wait until previous Karma is complete
- Giver of Karma covers shipping - lets not get into exchanging funds and the hassles and issues that can come along with that
- Item does not need to be beekeeping related, but that is always a plus
- Item does not need to be new, but should be in good shape and usable. So dig out all those things you purchased and tried and now sits collecting dust
Cool.
Cool idea robo. I like it
Way to go Robo, I like it. Enrique Iglesias - I Like It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9_n8jakvWU#ws)
Great Idea.
I have done this with beeks in the area with some of the things that I have made and liked how they worked for me and given them to others to see if they liked them as well and to get ideas for improvements. I will take up the February one. just let me know in a PM when you complete yours OK.
John
when we work and help each other together we are Invincible.
Sounds like a good idea, and may Karma be with you.
Joe
I'll have to double check, but I think I have the required 30 posts.
Good idea you have here.

Sign me up! Great idea Rob!
Scott
Karma is GREAT! I also think the queen frame would be a good addition to my growing bee equipment!
Gail
Last day to enter for the free queen introduction frame.
sign me up Rob.. nice idea JPP
Sign me up to Rob. Thanks for the chance to win!
Tim
That appears to be a fine professionally made gadget! Why do beekeepers have so many gadgets? Please don't send it to me or I will send you two of mine. Do you need a marburg swarm box?
I'm game! Good idea to break up this winter boredom!
I am in.
Steve
Oo oo Oo !! I want to play! :)
This is going to be fun! Hmmm, Have to go digging to find something good to give!
Yay Robo! Well done!
love,
ziffa
Count me in! Fun!
Looks like a great plan. I think most everyone has something they can part with and use.
Great idea Robo! Thanks for paying it forward.
Count me in Rob.
This is a great idea, what comes around goes around. For me it is the journey that is the most rewarding and not destination.

The winner is........................... Jim 134

Great prize to win as I have this same queen introduction frame from Robo and it worked out great this past year when I had a laying worker.
I will have to think about what I have to give away as well.

Scott, you've had some legitimate reasons to drink lately brother. :cheer:

I get the feb. one started on last week of the month. I got the thinking cap on to try and make it a worthy one as the first Karma was.
