Thanks Maxell86.

Unfortunately the death of my father and other family issues have put beekeeping on the back burner this season. There was also no strong flow on this year so it would have been pointless to set it up anyway. Will put in place when I see the potential to take advantage of this system.

Terri,
We are well aware of the situation. I have been in contact with Rob almost every day. So much so that I feel bad just letting him know that we are experiencing problems again and again.
It is interesting that you are having the same problem with other sites. I?m going to forward your OP to Rob.
If you look at the bottom of the BeeMaster page you can see the number of guests on and the max number ever noted. There you can see we are around a max today compared to a maximum of almost 22,000 on the fifteenth of this month. That doesn?t sound realistic. For the last few days it has remained very high, more than ten thousand.

A friend of mine would tap the local maples here like the northern people tap for maple syrup. He would then feed the sap to his bees before anything bloomed in the spring.

Oh no, it's not just you, it's everyone.  We are preparing for a move to a new server, so whenever that happens, the problems should be resolved.  We're having a suspicious overload of guests right now that seems to be at least partially crawlers and spambots combing the site, and that should cease when we get the updated security of the new server.  Robo and Eivindm are working on the situation currently.  Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Aphids work on Pecan and Black Walnut and the bees work the "honey dew" the aphids produce.  I have heard bees in both Pecan and walnut trees that sounded like a 747 taking off.  A master beekeeper in our club said this makes bad tasting honey.

I've been locked out a whole lot lately. Is it just me? I see some posts have been made by others at times that I was unable to read anything. FWIW, the 2A forum that I haunt has had a lot of similar issues for the past several months now. They are tight lipped about everything but it seems like they have reduced the number of 'guests' viewing and things have improved. I only assume that there is a connection and it is possible that it is just coincidence.

Most sap is somewhat sweet, even if watered down.  You probably could have made some syrup...
