nobody's tried hemp???

guess the bees would get too much altitude and drift off...  :tongue:

There was this one really hot hive... , and it is Colorado...  :rolleyes:

Lot's of pine needles, almost everywhere.
The bees usually fix my mistakes

I know you all think it's a joke, but the ditches in Nebraska are covered in hemp.  The railroad planted it long ago... In my opinion it stinks both when you cut it and when you burn it.  I just try to get rid of it...

heres a good one for you;

   Spray it on a rag, stuff the rag into your smoker ( DO NOT LIGHT THE RAG ON FIRE) then just lightly puff the bees as if there was smoke coming out..   Worked VERY well to move bees so i could add sugar cakes, despite being 36 degrees. I will be testing it more as spring commences and cut outs begin!
39 Hives and growing.  Havent found the end of the comfort zone yet.
