I went to a big flea market yesterday in my local towns . There was someone with honey for sale an in the LABEL it plainly said with “ CORN SYRUP “ . This one pound jar was $15.00 . WOW WOW WOW Here is the funny honey . I think I may go back next Tuesday an get a jar . Thanks

    Would you still use this newspaper combine method if you have a very weak hive with a laying queen in the bottom box (say 1 or 2 frames of bees) and a pretty strong hopelessly queenless hive in the top? Nothing at all wrong with the queen in the bottom just not enough bees to cover brood and build up.

    • @kamonreynolds

      I would probably put the queen in a cage for that one for more time and extra insurance
