how to know if bees we're female?

There's like 3 different types of bees, two types are females, one type is male.

Worker bees, which are in the OP, are females.

Drones are male.

Queens are females.

Imho, the easiest way to tell the drone from the queen is the eyes. Drones are much larger than worker bees.

This is a nice hive you got there. Post a picture with your name on a piece of paper to prove it's yours .

People nowadays are lack of trust and can't be fooled easily. Grin

So I am confused is it your hives or not? Or theyre just from reddit.
I love bee hives and want to reward your post with merit just prove this is your hard work

The sarcasm flag wasn't a hint. They're my bees, and I don't have to "prove" they're my bees.

/u/bluefirecorp is me. I stole and re-posted my own content across different platforms.

Are you using small or medium boxes? Your frames looked pretty short from the pictures.

Everything's mediums. 10 frame boxes.

Fuck deeps dude, seems like a good way to have to pay for back surgery.

My grandfather keeps bees, they love him

My bees are friendly, I wouldn't say they love me though. I kill about 300 every few weeks for varroa testing.

Nice. My uncle also kept bees for a while (few months only) but he couldn't manage it all alone and decided to stop. This was somewhere around the year 2015, if i recall.
Btw, i might still have a click of that somewhere on my old hard-drive, if i manage to find it i will surely share it here, they look very nice like the one's you shared here.

I think this requires a good amount of dedicated attention.

Well nice clicks you have over there i have just saved all those images from the link that you shared.

Do keep this thread updated with any new clicks that you are planning to share in the upcoming days.

Cheers

So, I did a hive inspection yesterday.

I didn't do a varroa count. Too hot to treat with mite-away quick strips.

Waiting for the weather to cool down a bit Sad

selling honey for bitcoin ? lol

That is a good idea lol! Honey for bitcoin will be a good business to do and for some of us that wish to trade honey for bitcoin you can contact me . I am not into honey farm but I have a friend that is into that and you can buy honey in large quantities from his farm and in turn I will convince him to accept bitcoin as a payment method.

What is it with friendly bees? I get into my hives without smoking them when I'm not going in for a full inspection, and have yet to have a problem. I've heard about hot hives where the bees become a problem but I just can't picture it (and hope that I'll never have to)

I was at a different hive location recently and those ladies were evil bastards. Kept going for the face even when I walked 30 ft away from the hive. They stayed at it until I got a smoker lit.

Hehe, I'm running three deeps per hive and using a medium as a honey super. I'll tell you, no matter how strong you are, there is no human comfortable lifting a 130 lb box full of stinging insects. I might switch over to mediums at some point but that'd be when I have 6 hives with each of my current deeps as the box on the bottom board that doesn't need to be moved. Can't have good equipment going to waste! Maybe next year Tongue

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?

I've got some black, some yellow, and some of the entirely plastic frames. The entirely plastic frames are absolute junk. I would have tossed them by now, but they are frames 4/5/6 in my hive that was queenless for a few weeks, so I figured best not to mess with it for a while. I'm going to try to go foundationless next nectar flow now that I've got ~30ish frames drawn out to use as guides.

Did you rear a new queen after smashing when marking?

She wasn't technically dead when she was smashed and I didn't want to piss off the hive further. I let nature do its thing. I'm probably just going to keep to taking photos of the lovely girl instead of trying to mark her.

I see you also went with the black foundation...

You're an odd one. Got pictures of your hive? What's your queen breed?

I smashed my queen trying to mark her, but at least now she can harmonize with the local bees Wink

Whats odd about enjoying bees with your fellow Bitcointalkgoer? My hives are Russian-Italian hybrids but I don't have a lot of photos as my hands are normally full of bees instead of phones to snap photos with, but I did grab a shot of a queen yesterday. Shes about a month old or so, so still tiny.

Woohoo bee buddy! I got my first hives in April this year as well. When did you get yours? I only got one hive at first and then the second a couple of weeks later after getting to see just how cool the first was. Good thing too because I had to requeen the second hive and ended up raising a new queen by transplanting a frame of eggs from the queenright hive. Knock on wood but I haven't seemed to have any issue with mites, hive beetles, or diseases yet. Going through the first summer dearth is a little nervewracking, but just gotta let the little pals do their thing I guess.
