Thanks so much! First time frame builder needing some guidance. I don't care for the plastic frames, there is something about the smell of the wax and the wood that just goes together. Bee well! Maria.

First, checked with local government to make sure the bees are ok in your area. Next, I keep my hive in an isolated part of the backyard (I have a one acre yard in Ohio-USA), this allow for the bee's main "flight path" to be over my property. Some people plant bushes several feet out in front of the hive to force the bees "up" as they fly out. When I harvest the honey in the early fall I always give some to my immediate neighbors to build goodwill.

Good luck.

@Bass60thrar Check with your local government to make sure bees are ok in your area ? What are you talking about ? Bees are everywhere...The problem is people asking permission to do anything and everything from some government authority. Do yourself a favor submit a private bond to this authority and if at some point they're harmed by your bees tell them to charge the account. STOP ACTING PATHETIC ..

@Bass60thrar You stupid plick, this is the USA, we do not CHECK with our local government, we are independant, self-sufficent americans, we do not ask the local dumbass politican for instructions on our lives. You must be from the UK or a government troll to make a statement that ignorant. Bee's are Bee's, they are all ok, just what are you looking for, bee's that might have a Zombie virus or a penchant for plicks who need approval from GOVERNMENT on every decision in there lives.

Sollte man das aurechnen auf 50 Völker mit der Betriebsweise Zander Flachzarge wird man ja Wahnsinnig sowas zu machen! Da kaufe ich lieber die schon fertig hergestellten Rämchen mit Draht! Hierbei muss ich nur mehr die Mittelwand einlöten!!!!

Living in the eastern townships of montreal, I was wondering it the temperature would allow me to make honey?

Will the bees survive the winter?
