MAY 2018 – Harmony Hollow has added nucleus colonies (NUC) to the line of products available. NUCs are a “starter” colony that include a mated and egg-laying queen of known Italian genetics, several frames of eggs/larvae/brood, at least one frame of resources (nectar/honey/pollen) and a frame with foundation for the bees to draw fresh comb […] 
This short video outlines how to convert a standard frame feeder into a no-drown feeder for syrup being fed to bees. All items for the upgrade were available as scrap from my personal workshop – so no additional materials were purchased for the improvements. The only expenditure was my personal labor. Be sure to watch […] 
The homeowner noticed bees entering and exiting from the shed in the back yard the week before. Since we were still several weeks prior to our swarm season – I suspected the bees * may * have been there a bit longer than the homeowner was aware of. A nice queen was found, the bees […]
These bees have been in the soffit for a while. The homeowner bought the house recently, and needs to do some work – that the bees were preventing. After a successful removal – the bees were re-homed to a Harmony Hollow Apiary outyard – and are doing well. Enjoy! It’s been a while, however I found this gem of a video in the vault – that never got published. A swarm arrived at this young lady’s home the night before.

Once the queen lays eggs, and the larvae hatch – they need a ready supply of protein for their growth and transformation from […] This bee removal was from a tree that had fallen in a golf course in a storm last week. If you like chainsaws.. look at the video. I love making the sawdust fly. 😉 The rest of the tree was already cleared away – but the course maintenance crew wanted to make sure the colony […] 
When the weather turns wet, and the old work boots (or leather hat, etc) just is not waterproof any more, think about using a leather conditioner to rehydrate and waterproof the pores and stitching of the leather. (note – this conditioner can be used on canvas tent material as well) Amber’s work boots were dry, […]

If you plan to see Amma on 17-18 June 2017 in Dallas – be sure to stop by Amma’s “Green Initiatives” and “Greenfriends” tables.
