Isn't the entrance reducer a bit small? I was thinking of enlargin it. Is that what the bees are doing here? or did you enlarge it yourself. I have the same hive from Beekind.

Thank you for showing me about the bees I learned alot. After my trip i have been so interested in insects that I am finding out more facts like most boy insects die when they mate with a female insect. For example the black widow kills its mate after they mate. and poisenes sentipeds but slime on there mates and they die. Thank you for the honey. I had a great time and hope to see you again soon.

These include several varieties of ants, spiders, flies, rodents, and other creatures. All of these animals and insects can multiply quickly if left alone and become a major infestation. They can cause property damage, spread disease, and can bite you and your family. Pest control can help you get rid of many very common pests that infest most people’s homes.

You'd probably like this map http://134.67.99.121/pest/getstpest.asp?state=CA&pestfield= of "Court-Ordered Pesticide Limitations" in California. Clunky GIS interface, but could be helpful to the local beekeeper to see which ag managers with whom they need to conmmunicate about their spraying and pesticide plans. Often the workers don't follow the instructions properly (another reason to -teach English!) and apply pest control during bloom and in the morning, the -worst- times for bees. This misuse of the instructions is legally actionable. Beekeepers and pollinator advocates need to know and do the work to protect. It's all about communication and educating our neighbors.
