If you are in a state that gets below freezing, these yellow jackets will soon be dead anyway. If you must kill them now, soapy water is the best killer out there and it's cheap. Mix 1/2 cup of liquid dish soap to a gallon of water. Of course you need to make contact with the hornets for this solution to be effective. You might give it a try first before going the chemical route. You might find this of interest. http://www.longpestcontrol.com/bees.html Regards, Barry Illinios, USA barry@birkey.com BioBee archives: http://www.bee-l.com/bioarchive/index.htm Article 31094 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: Path: news2.isis.unc.edu!news-relay.ncren.net!newsgate.duke.edu!newsfeed.mathworks.com!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.slurp.net!not-for-mail Message-ID: <3BB9AB1E.36727383@rapidnet.com> From: Greg Reply-To: gregm@rapidnet.com X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 (Macintosh; U; PPC) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: Re: Small Hive Beetle References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lines: 5 Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 05:55:12 -0600 NNTP-Posting-Host: 208.34.11.168 X-Trace: newsfeed.slurp.net 1002023657 208.34.11.168 (Tue, 02 Oct 2001 06:54:17 CDT) NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 06:54:17 CDT Xref: news2.isis.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:31094 http://doacs.state.fl.us/~pi/plantinsp/aethinanew.htm Bill Hughes wrote: > > Looking for an on-line site with pictures of the Small Hive Beetle.

Well, Charlie... there's *really* no such thing as a shitbird in the scientific world. There are birds that live by following grazing animal heards lending the mistaken notion that they are interested in the dung. Your reference is usually known as Cowbird and there exist several varities. Cowbirds adopted a strategy of laying their eggs in the nests of other birds so they could be free to follow wandering buffalo herds. As a result, they became referred to as nomadic parasites. Of course, they followed the buffalo, because the large bison herds stirred up lots of insects for these birds to feed on. So eventually, the cowbird worked out a strategy of laying its eggs for other birds to raise, enabling it to follow the bison and not go hungry. Nature has endowed the cowbird with wondrous characteristics. Because its eggs require a short incubation period, they hatch in only 11 or 12 days, which is a day or two sooner than most bird eggs. But the trick is, the cowbird has to add her eggs to the nest at the same time the would be foster parent is laying her eggs. So female cowbirds watch other birds from high perches, to determine if its egg laying time. Then, the cowbirds flies in and deposits her egg into the nest. Because the cowbird’s egg is general in appearance, it matches the eggs of many host birds, like warblers, sparrows, finches, cardinals, and others. And although the cowbird is larger than most host birds it uses, her eggs are relatively small, and this also is a factor in why the cowbird is successful. Cowbird chicks grow quickly because they gobble up most of the food the foster parents bring, resulting in the parents’ own young to perish, either from starvation, or being pushed from the nest. When the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Rock, they also brought with them some of their cattle. The cowbirds found the cattle a great substitute for the bison, and as a result, the range of cowbirds expanded. This move provided the cowbird with many more hosts. Hosts that were poor at detecting cowbird eggs in their nests. The eastern bluebird often raises cowbirds, at the expense of their own young, while the western and mountain bluebird, because of their long association with cowbirds, had more time to evolve anti-cowbird tactics. Fragmented forestation, because of growing cities and towns, has increased the forest's edge, where cowbirds thrive. It’s easy for cowbirds to detect nests in that kind of situation, and that has been devastating to some bird populations, such as wood thrushes, but a boon to cowbird populations. So the expansion of their range, plus the cowbird’s finding even more suckers to raise its young, has been the result. Have I answered your question?

Now do these "foster" birds adopt the characteristics and practices of their foster parents and foster siblings? I mean, if a cowbird selects the nest of a waterfowl to be a substitute parent, do the offspring adapt to water? And what about child support?

They were the worst mistake I've made buying bee supplies, so far ! You can't just push a frame over, to start working a hive, you've got to pull each frame separately . They are glued in, so tightly, that it not-only requires a frame grabber, but it's got to be the rod type, with the edge that bites into the wood . The friend I've got helping me do extracting, refused to work the nine frame supers, and I'm glad she made the task "priority". Took me three days to pull them all out, and I will NEVER make that mistake again ! I once offered them for free; and no one took me up on it . Kinda tells the story right there . Anyway, I paid not-much less than a buck apiece (I forget) . If you want them; make me an offer; you're paying shipping; and I'll try to recoup as much of my bad buying choice, as I'm willing to do . I'm not going to give them away, maybe I can figure out a way to convert them into the old style, "humped" rabbets that I like . Fair warning, they're best applied, if they get turned into someone's idea of "Fine Art". Ken .

Found that not all the cells would open up with molten wax re-coagulating to cover the cell - but this was a small percentage of cells, approx. 5%. I think the losses higher in cappings using a heated knife. Another advantage is that there were no cappings to deal with, no capping tank and no heated, inferior honey to get rid of.

I guess what really got my attention was don't know of anyone that has had to burn their equipment due to the use of paradichlorobenzine.

If she is a good queen, leave her in peace. If you want to combine the swarm with the original, you have a tough job to fulfill. You must prevent further swarming in order to keep all the bees together. In order to do that you could place a queen-seperator in your hive, put the remainder of the original bees above the excluder and the swarm underneath it. You have to get rid of all the queen cells or swarm cells in the original hive, so that you're sure there is no other queen raised. So far you have two possibilities: one is that the remainder of the original hive has no new queen. Joining the old queen and her swarm with the original would result in one queen in your hive. The other possibility is that you have more than one queen. One or more above and the old one underneath the seperator. The old one is the only one that has mated. The bees in the hive will decide which queen they want to preserve. They will "take care" about the redundant queens. For the sake of your hive this is risky business. You end up with young queens that have not mated. Maybe the old queen is too old to get a strong hive. Maybe the old queen leaves again. The risk is very real that you end up with a queenless hive. It is very difficult to prevent swarming if the bees want to swarm. Better to keep the two swarms apart for a while and wait untill the thrive to swarm is over. Join the two hives a few weeks later, have them "read the paper" (a sheet of journalpaper between two layers of the hive will help in a more gradual joining process). The bees will chose for themselves wich queen is best for them if you cannot make a choice.

And the wax will never be completely clear of contamination, although no longer lethal after several days of airing out. But would you want to expose your customers to this in cosmetics or fumes from burning wax? Yes, you can reclaim the wood and after airing sufficiently the wax is usable. But the original poster was going to treat honey in this way. I suppose you could extract that honey and dispose of it somehow, then de-contaminate your extracting equipment. To quote from the beesource page: "-PDCB evaporates reluctantly from honey and only from the topmost layer. -Honey cannot be aired as long as needed, since it attracts water and odors. -There is no possibility of significantly reducing paradichlorobenzene content of honey later." And, of course, if you export to the EU, any detectable residue will result in rejection of a shipment. But, many just abuse the labels and release these chemicals on the unsuspecting public, although not just in the US. Unlike thymol, most don't have an overpowering smell/taste that will give the culprits away.

I first heard about it on this forum and have never read anywhere a specific process. I bought one at the local Wal-Mart and just tried it out. It's a $20 item and I can see where they would be useful things to have around the house regardless. Just point the heat at it long enough to melt the cappings. Heat too much and the side walls of the cells start to melt and will then harden back to seal the cell. The caps will start to melt first in the center and peel back - just heat enough to allow the cell cap to peel back and then stop. The cell tops should appear wet after the wax has cooled. Ones that are sealed over will appear dull. You can open these with a cappings scratcher. Watch out for your thumbs and fingers while holding the frame to uncap - the air from those guns is really hot!

I should say that's exactly what happened. I had a half super, which I decided wasn't worth extracting, so put it back on the hive, and it's now in the shed, empty. They don't need much brood space over winter, so they fill up with honey, so that the bees don't have too far to go to get food, and can keep the cluster tight. -- jaf @ jaffullstopcoanotherfullstopuk ne cede malis Article 31186 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: Path: news2.isis.unc.edu!news-relay.ncren.net!news-ext.gatech.edu!csulb.edu!newshub.sdsu.edu!news-hog.berkeley.edu!ucberkeley!newsfeed.stanford.edu!cyclone.bc.net!sjcppf01.usenetserver.com!usenetserver.com!sn-xit-04!sn-post-01!supernews.com!corp.supernews.com!not-for-mail From: "Bob Seaman" Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: bee show Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 19:55:12 -0300 Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com Message-ID: X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2462.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2462.0000 X-Complaints-To: newsabuse@supernews.com Lines: 3 Xref: news2.isis.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:31186 cant find the show on PBS Article 31187 of sci.agriculture.beekeeping: Path: news2.isis.unc.edu!news-relay.ncren.net!hearst.acc.Virginia.EDU!hammer.uoregon.edu!nntp.kreonet.re.kr!newsfeed.direct.ca!look.ca!newsfeed.cwix.com!news.alt.net!wcoil.com!usenet From: tarheit@wcoil.com (Tim Arheit) Newsgroups: sci.agriculture.beekeeping Subject: Re: bee show Date: 18 Oct 2001 16:15:01 GMT Lines: 13 Message-ID: <9qmv65$pvh$0@65.201.241.16> References: NNTP-Posting-Host: 65.201.241.16 X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.11/32.235 Xref: news2.isis.unc.edu sci.agriculture.beekeeping:31187 On Wed, 17 Oct 2001 19:55:12 -0300, "Bob Seaman" wrote: >cant find the show on PBS > > It's not on our PBS either (NW Ohio).

The show aired at 8 PM Tuesday. I picked the show up on my cable network, but I don't know whether it was available on satellites. The show was very interesting and tapes are available from PBS stations, at least it is here in North Carolina. I taped it myself. I've never seen a show that had such detailed shots of the inner workings of a hive. I thought that the setup of hives was quite unique. The beekeeper enters the hives from the rear. He has two rows of 12 hives in each (stacked one row on top of the other) in a shed type inclosure with an extended cover in the front and back, and the ends were solid. The hives were pastel colors with alternating colors, maybe to help the bees. I'm not sure where this was filmed; I wonder if anyone on the newsgroup is familiar with this type setup of hives. I would like to learn how to build one of these if anyone knows where I might get the plans.
