Free top-bar hives
by Steve Wall 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Fellow beeks, My friend Amy has three top-bar hives she is willing to give away. Two were built by me a few years ago. They are built to Les Crowder’s dimensions, with windows in the side. With a little TLC, they should be serviceable for many more years. She would like to give them all to one recipient. You can contact Amy here: amysue(a)cybermesa.com. Here are some photos:

Blanking Bee Hives in Santa Fe, NM
by Hugh Schall 24 Sep '23

24 Sep '23

This year I am planning on putting blankets on my hives for the winter. New to Santa Fe since 2021, this will be the first year I have used a blanket to protect my hives. Has anyone blanket their hives, and if so, when did you put the blankets on and when di you take them off? Thanks, Hugh
