Thanks for joining us! Are you having a hard winter? I have read news that Russia is deep in snow. I guess I need to do a map search and find out about Krackow.

Today is -6 Celsius. Winter this year is "warm" in Poland (+2 to -10 C). Maby 4-5 days was cold (-15-20C). Tomorrow I make some photo and paste on forum, because now its evening. Poland is next to Russia but our weather is similar to Germany no to Russia ;).
ps. Krakow is beautiful city.

I have "wielkopolskie" hives. Frame dimensons are: 360mm length and 260 mm hight. 10 frame in one segment (i dont now how properly name one segment of hives). These segments in the hive are two or three. One as a nest for the queen, and one or two to the honey. As I said abov. Tommorow i paste same winter photos from my apiary. Sorry for my english. If i write something wrong please tell to me. ;) Faster i'll learn if you will correct me;)

Your doing great with the English. We call each box a hive body (brood) or a super (honey).

Welcome to the forum. You will probably have to send your pictures to the webmaster to have them posted. You need a certain number of postings before you can do it your self.
