Edward, there's a thread about bad happenings in the bees. Tell us about the times you got 25 to 75 stings the first 3 seconds after you popped the lid open on a hive of your "kind" bees.

LOL! touche jen!........

edward, that new fangled tool you have? like iddee said get yourself a smoker.  but hey try out that thing, and when the bees get really ticked at you, post back here and let us know.... :D
you probably won't lose it or leave it in a hive......
maybe get buried in a bee tool box to sometime sooner or later decide things i bought that really didn't work out as planned....... :D
and ps, just some funnin'...... ;D

Perry- it gets them riled up when you snap them off of the frame as well.

As soon as I have a 65 day I need to go into my top hive and scape off the wonky comb built up over the winter. This is due to 9 frames and they weren't aligned right.

What do you do to get your bees off if you have to tidy up a frame?

My bee tool box has a grafting tool included.  It doesn't take up much space or add weight that you can feel, but in critical situations it can be a hive-saver.

"What do you do to get your bees off if you have to tidy up a frame?"

jen, i just move them away by gently brushing them away with my hand, maybe a little smoke, they will move, and i use a hive tool or sharp knife to cut off what you had going. 

ps epi pens need to be stored at about 70-77 degrees, no extreme temps, heat or cold....

One swift shake over the top of the top bars usually does it.

Just lightly press the back of your hand against the bees for a moment and they will move alowing you to see into the cells or to break up a large cluster of bees.

I made four of the D.Coates nuc boxes. I tried to attract a swarm to one of them. I didn't have any success, so it defaulted into a catch-all for all my bee tools. :D
