E) Hive Bodies - "Brood Chambers" are the bees' living quarters. The queen lays eggs in
these chambers and brood is raised. Honey and pollen is also stored for the bees' food.

provide a "surplus" of honey beyond that needed by the bees to live on and rear their
replacements. It is this "surplus" that the beekeeper removes and markets.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT BEEKEEPING
When do I order package bees?
It is best to order package bees for spring delivery. The
bees should be delivered after the date of the last hard
freeze for your region. The package honey bee suppli-
ers will be able to help you determine the best delivery
date.
When should I hive my new package of
honey bees?
The best time to hive the honey bees is late afternoon
or early evening. Spray the honey bees with sugar
water while still in the shipping container. This will
make it easier to put the honey bees in the hive.
What kind of frames should I use when
starting with package bees? When should I add a second hive body or
It is best not to mix solid plastic frames w ith wood super?
frames when hiving package bees. It is confusing to the
bees when mixed. We recommend using wood frames
when hiving package bees.
What do I feed the honey bees in the
spring?
It is best to feed a mixture of sugar and water in a one
to one ratio. The bees w ill use the sugar syrup mixture
until natural sources are available. In the fall , use a
t wo part sugar to one part water mixture if the bees
do not have adequate winter stores. Feeders on page
54 work well. You can also stimulate the honey bees
to raise brood by feeding them Dadant's Brood Builder
Patties or MegaBee ~ Patties. These items can be found
on pages 58 - 60.
Where do I place my hive?
If you are in the city, you should put the entrance of
the hive facing a high fence . This wil l force the bees to
fly in a high flight pattern, avoiding neighbors. It is good
to give the hives a wind break to protect them. You
can also place the entrance facing the sun to allow the
bees an early start in the morning. The hive can also be
placed on concrete blocks or a wooden pallet to keep
it off of the ground.
Do I paint the inside of the beehive?
No, paint the outside of the beehive only. Allow the
paint to dry thoroughly before installing the bees.
How often should I check my new hive?
You can open the hive after a few days to see if the
queen has been released. Look in the Queen Cage to
1-888-922-1293
see if the Queen has been released. If the Queen has
been released, you should check for eggs and larvae
to be sure she is active. If the Queen has not been
released, enlarge the hole in the candy in the Queen
Cage. Three weeks after you have hived the package,
you can examine the colony again. Be sure to keep
feeding the colony sugar syrup during this time to
stimulate comb building. You should see sealed brood
in the colony at this time.
Can I keep bees in a straw skep?
No, honey bees are required to be kept in a beehive
with removable frames. This is to allow inspection for
diseases. It is the law in all states.
You should add the second hive body or super w hen
the majority of the frames in the first hive body are
fully drawn out, (8 or 9 frames ). A second super should
be added after the first super is about one half full.
How much honey should I leave on the
hive to over winter?
As a general rule, you should have a full super or second
hive body and 20 to 30 pounds of honey in the brood
nest. This will amount to a total of 60 to 70 pounds of
honey for w inter and early spring consumption.
What should I look for in spring in the
colony?
You should check for evidence that the Queen is
laying eggs. You should also check the honey stores
and pollen supply. If the honey stores are low, you may
start feeding sugar syrup in a one to one ratio of sugar
and water. The bees may consume about 10 pounds of
sugar syrup in a one-week period.
How can I get information or help about
beekeeping in my area?
All 50 states have state and local associa-
tions and are a very good source of informa-
tion and help. They w ill be able to direct you to a
bee club or an association in your area. For con-
tact information on the state associations call us at

Did you know that honey bees play an impor-
tant role in the growth of many flowers, fruits and
vegetables that you find at your local market? Yes,
they do. Pollination is a vital part of the human food
chain. Whether you grow your own flowers, fruits or
vegetables, many of these plants must be insect
pollinated to bear their fruits or seeds.
Our Master Pollinator Kit provides you with quality
woodenware, educational materials and protective
equipment, which are all essential tools to estab-
lish a colony of honey bees. Whether you want to
increase the yield of your crops or just enjoy the
hobby of watching nature, this kit has the means
to add new life to your backyard.

 FRAME/FOUNDATION HARDWARE
Cross wiring is necessary to firmly hold some foundations in place. For example, we recommend 4 cross wires when using
BY.;" medium brood foundation, but only 2 for holding 8Y.i" crimp wire foundation. Beekeepers even find it advantageous to
put one cross-wire in bulk comb foundation-then pulling out the cross-wire from the end of the frame prior to cutting the
bulk comb. To prevent the wire from cutting into the frame end bars, we recom mend using eyelets to protect the frames.

Wax Tube Fastener

Wax Tube Fastener is ideal for securing foundation into grooved top bar
(cut comb and chunk honey) frames. Metal cylinder is filled by lowering into con-
tainer of hot, liquid beeswax. When cylinder is filled, wax is retained in cylinder
by placing finger over air hole. With foundation in place, the wax tube fastener
is run along the top bar groove. By removing finger from the air hole, a small
amount of wax flows out to cement the foundation to the top bar.

Double Screen Board

The double screened board makes requeening easy and efficien t. When dividing a colony, remove your top
ch a mber and pl ace your dIs on top of the bottom chamber and place your split on top of the dIs. The older for-
aging bees will return to the bottom chamber leaving the younger bees, which will accept the new queen with
much less stress. You can also replace the dis with a queen excluder and run a double queen colony.

First Lessons In Beekeeping

The new First Lessons in Beekeeping introduces the prospective beekeeper to the
basics of beekeeping through easy-to-understand text and I SO color photos on honey
bee biology, beekeeping equipment, management, honey production and processing,
as well as disease diagnosis and treatment. In the preface to this book, author Keith
Delaplane says of his fi rst book on beekeeping, "Its pages opened to me a golden
world of honey bees and beekeeping and guided my st umbling steps that fi rst spring
season. My story is but one of thousands who have passed through the door opened
by Dadan t's little book." That "little book" was the 1968 edition of Charles P. Dada nt's
1917 classic First Lessons in Beekeeping. Dadant's book and its succeeding editions
have been America's first stop for beginning beekeepe rs for over 90 yea rs. For the lat-
est edition, Delaplane honors the tradition of sticking to the basics, while fully e ngag-
ing the new realities of beekeeping in the 21st centu ry. Here in this book is everything MOOOO1S
MOOOOI you need to know to become a successful beginning beekeeper.

Bee Sex Essentials
Bee Culture/American Bee Journal writer Dr. Larry Connor reviews the latest and essential knowledge of drone and queen
production, mating and genetics. He clearly and concisely shows how the sex life of bees directly impacts the fate of the
colony and, in turn, the success of the beekeeper. He outlines a sample bee-breeding program for a sideline beekeeper
with fewer than 100 colonies who wants to produce queens from survivor, locally-adapted and mite-resistant lines.

• Provides all vital amino acids plus 9 more.
• Adds many health benefits especially with the HBH; larger,
more robust and hardy bees.
• Reinforces worn out stored pollen for late winter brood rearing.
• When fed in sugar water with HBH stimulates rapid build-up of
nucs, swarms, package bees and weak colonies.
• Can be used to help produce high quality queens by providing
protein for royal jelly.
• Can be used as a "Protein drench" when bees take pollen sub-
stitutes very slowly; just spray or drizzle the HBH-Protein into
the cluster area; bees will clean it up, store it and use it.

Honey-B-Healthye was developed in 1995 by a commer-

cial beekeeper. Rich in specially processed essential oils,
many large commercial beekeepers use it to fortify colo-
ny health and build resistance to the problems prevalent
in today's apiaries. Easy to administer by either feeding
or the dousing method. Honey-B-Healthye can be added
to a spray and used in place of smoke. Skilled beekeep-
ers find it useful to build up weak colonies and when
combining colonies.

CAN BE USED IN Two WAYS ...
WET MOIST PATTY FORMULA In moat of the U.S. where outdoor feeding is not possible, a moilt Brood Builder
patty placed inside the hive is preferred. Brood Builder COIn be mixed with sugar
syrup or fructose to make a moist patty. Mix until a cookie dough consistency is reached, then form into patties weichin, between 1 and 2
Ibl., depending upon colony strength. Most will form patties between two sheets of WilX paper. Wax Paper can be removed from patties when
placed on the hive or left. The bees will remove this pilper out the front entrance. If the wax pilper is not removed from the patty when put on
the hive, use your hive tool and make an X In the patty. Pattil!l should be placed on top bars of hives when runnine sinele bOKes, or in between
boKet when runnine doubles. It is recommended to feed durine the early sprine to up brood production, during nectar dearths and after mite
treatments. Patties can be reapplied as needed. If in small hive beetle country, smaller amounts of patties (1/4 -1/2 Ib.1 should be fed and
miKed with more carbohydrates (suear) to help speed up consumption and stay ahead of the beetle. Repeating as needed.
Some beekeepers are finding it beneficial to add two different feed additives to the miK. Honey-B-Healthy, made of all natural essential
oils, and Nozevit, an all natural feed supplement, can be added at the recommended doses. More sugar can also be added to help speed up
consumption.
If eKtra patties are miKed that you will not need until later, they can be put into a ziploc-style fn!ezer bae and placed in the deep freeze until
needed.

DRY FORMULATED FOR OUTDOOR DRY FEEDING If you live in some parts
of California, the southwest or southern tier of the U.S. Brood Builder may be your answer to late winter or
early spring outdoor dry feeding stimulation. If your bees can fly early in the yl!ilr and collect Brood Builder,
you can increase colony production.
Brood Builder must be protected from direct moisture such ita rain, dew, foe and other inclement weather.
Can be fed on platforms ortrays directly in the bee yard. Honey bees collect Brood Builder because it is so close
to pollen in nutritional value. Honey bees collect Brood Builder naturally, just as they would ureal pollen."
Directions for Use: Feed as is from the pachee on platforms or trays directly in the bee yard. Must be protected
from direct moisture, such as rain, dew, foe and other inclement weather. Fill feeders often.

 Diseases, Parasitic Bee Mites
and Preventive Management
The number of Parasitic Bee Mites
and diseases affecting honey bees is
not large and of these, only a few are
commonly serious enough to cause
severe colony and financial losses to
beekeepers.
However, in any consideration of
bee disease, adopt a preventive atti-
tude toward the treatment and mao-
agement of bees-accept the fact
that disease can be costly in causing
some degree in loss of honey crop,
in diminished service as pollinating
agents, in the cost of medications and
labor expended for treatment and
loss incurred in replacement of equip-
ment and bees.
Suggestions for Preventive Management
Apiary locations, large or small,
should be carefully selected. If possible,
avoid a low, damp spot where puddles
of water will stand. Diseases can be
spread by bees getting water from such
pools, which may contain feces from
infected bees or pieces of dead larvae
and bits of comb from sick colonies. A
source of running water nearby is pre-
ferred. Low spots may also be compara-
tively stagnant as far as air movement
is concerned. The humidity of the area
builds up during the cool periods of
spring and fall. Too much humidity also
contributes to poor wintering.
Light shade (or no shade) is gener-
ally preferable to a heavy dense shaded
location which remains damp long after
a sunny spot has dried out. The bees
will not fly as early in the morning. as
late in the evening, nor as well on cool
days if they are setting in a dense shade.
Hives should be arranged within the
apiary to keep drifting of bees from one
colony to another at a minimum. Keep
hives as far apart as practical. Placing
them in a random manner is preferable,
even though they may not look as neat
as when in a straight line, where each
one is exactly so far from the next.
Placing hives beside small bushes or
such will help bees mark the location
of their hive. Natural markers will also
The Parasitic Bee Mites that have
the most economic impact on bee-
keepe rs are the Honey Bee Tracheal
Mite (Acarapis wood;) which lives
within the breathing tubes of the
honey bee and the large Varroa
(Varroa destructar) which is an exter-
nal parasite which feeds on the hemo-
lymph or blood of older larvae and
pupae and adult honey bees.
Most diseases affect the honey bee
in the larval stage of its development.
American and European foul brood
are the two most common. AFB is the
most virulent and destructive of the
two. Chalkbrood and sacbrood less
frequently cause extensive losses.
make it easier for any supersedure
virgins to locate their respective hives
when returning from mating flights,
lessening the number of queenless
colonies.
A hive stand raises the hive off the
ground and serves two main purposes.
First, the bottom of the hive is less
likely to rot or be eaten by termites.
Even painted bottoms will need replac-
ing more frequently when allowed to
rest directly on the ground. Secondly,
from the disease viewpoint, a wet bot-
tom board is likely to be an "incuba-
tor" for the development of causative
organisms. Keeping the bottom dear of
wax scales and other debris, also helps
reduce the buildup of disease.
A 3/4" or 1" auger hole bored near
the hand hold on the front of the hive
will make a top entrance for the bees
which will facilitate air circulation within
the hive, reducing the buildup of humid-
ity throughout the brood area.
Since honey is a bee disease-carry·
ing medium for spores, etc., it should
not be fed to any colonies unless you
are absolutely certain the hive from
which it came was free of disease.
Honey purchased on the open market
should never be fed to bees. There is
no way of knowing what diseases you
are buying in it.
www.dadant.com
Occurring nationwide, nosema is
the major adult bee disease and is
probably responsible for a greater
loss of honey crops than any other
disease. Its intensity fluctuates from
place to place, year to year, and from
season to season within a year. The
peak level of infection shortens lives
of the worke rs and reduces their abili-
ty to feed larvae during brood rearing.
Bee diseases have no physiological
effect on people handling bees and
equipment; eating honey, pollen, or
comb from an infected colony; or
using beeswax or beeswax products.
Prolific queens, with a high percent-
age of egg hatchability so that every
comb is filled solid with brood, are
essential to maintaining strong colo-
nies. Such colonies are less likely to
become weak, rundown, and in turn,
susceptible to diseases.
Transferring combs between colonies
should be kept to a minimum. The same
is true of shaking bees from one colony
for boosting the weak or starting new
ones. Be careful not to let honey from
broken burr-combs drip on the ground
when moving supers, etc. Not only is it
possible to spread disease in this way,
but it is a good way to get robbing
started at times.
When you know the colonies are
free of disease, moving combs of
bees and brood is a good met hod of
reducing the population of a crowded
hive and building up a weaker one.
Doing this with combs from newly
purchased colonies is risky.
Wintering only healthy, strong colo-
nies increases the probability of sur-
vival in good shape. Should a disease-
weakened colony die before spring,
whatever honey is remaining often
'&
will be robbed by other colonies -
usually the strongest ones. They, in
tom, will pmb,bl, bewme

 VARROA MITES
Apivar
North American beekeepers now have an effective new amitraz-based weapon
against Varroa mites: Apivar
~ Kills up to 99% of mites in one application
~ Continuously-released in the colony over a six-week period, ensuring healthy and
productive hives
~ Proven safe and effective for more than 15 years
~ Leaves no significant residues in hive products
~ Convenient and easy to use

APIVAR DRAMATICAllY CUTS MITE POPULATION

A stud yl conducted by the resea rch arm of the USDA in the spring of 2012 shows that
Apivar" was responsible for a 52-fold drop in mite population compared to an untreat-
ed hive. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Apivar's controlled-release technology.
APIVAR STRIPS SAVE TIME AND EFFORT
Apivar is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil pouches that each contain 10 strips. A single
application of two strips per brood chamber is sufficient to treat a hive, so you spend
less time and effort treating your bees, and there is less disruption of the bees than
with many other treatments.

 REMOVING BEES FROM SUPERS FILLED WITH HONEY
Non-"Chemica/" Method
Using Bee Escapes - 2 Styles
Bee Escapes are one-way doors which let the bees leave the supers but not return. The escape is placed beneath the supers of honey to be
removed. (When removing more than one super of honey from an individual hive, we recommend placing an empty shallow super under
the escape board to allow more space.) Supers are usually free of bees within :1 - 24 hours and no chemicals are used.

 Figuring Shipping and Handling Charges for UPS and USPS
l)Add t he ship ping weights from each item o rdered.
2)After adding, all fractions of a pound must be rounded up to the next full pound .
311f the to tal weight excee ds 35 Ibs., use following exa m ple to calculate rates. For example: If total weight is 55 Ibs., find t he rate for
35 Ibs., then find rate for t he remaining 20 Ibs. add bot h package rates toget her for to tal rate.
4 ) Estimate t he straigh t li ne distance from shipping point to delive ry point.
5) Use the chart below to determine shipping cha rges by locating the dollar amount where the shipping weight line and shipping distance column intersect
United Parcel Service is our preferred package carrier. However:. we can ship your orders by alternate carrier. Shipping by alternate carriers
may not provide a tracking number. Depending on the carrier, shipments may not be able to be traced until 30 days after shipment has
been made, which may be unfeasible due to the seasonal nature of our business. We will be happy to provide a quote with any alternate
carriers available to us if you request it with your order.
Note: This chart includes the UPS residential and extended delivery area surcharge. If these charges do not apply to your delivery address,
the actual shipping charge will be less than the chart amount. These shipping charges may nat be sufficient for lightweight bulky mer-
chandise or weights over 35 pounds which will be shipped in multiple packages. We reserve the right to bill you for additional shipping
charges. We reserve the right to ship it from a different branch to complete your order in a timely manner.
• Dimensional weight may be used rather than actual weight. Dimensional weight is a formula used by package delivery companies to
determine a billing weight based on density. Some items may show the billing weight rather than the actual weight.
