Pesticides in the colonies.
Maryann Frazier is a Senior Extension Associate who has been in the center of CCD research over the past few years. As part of that she looked at wax samples from colonies that were diagnosed with CCD to look for clues of the colonies collapse. Her finds are quite interesting.

Processing beeswax
I will discuss different methods of processing your beeswax and getting ready for crafts or sale. It doesn't matter if it's cappings wax or burr comb. We will get it looking good!
When is comes to candles, there are none better that those made with beeswax. OK, there is one better, one you made with your beeswax. I will take you through the process of making tealights and votives as well as rolled candles. The information can then be applied to other types of candles
The branch in Pennsylvania is coming along nicely. Jim Wilson (Branch Manager) and his crew are working to get all the product in the warehouse and organize the showroom. They are not officially open, and won't be until February of 2010, but they have been able to meet the needs of those customers that happened to walk in. For those of you located in the northeast you will start to see orders shipping out of that location. In the meantime, if you are in the area and would like to stop by, Here is the location.
There is a new product on the market for Small Hive Beetle, the Beetle Blaster. It is a disposable beetle trap that hangs between two frames. The beetles are chased into the trap and perish in the mineral oil. I am not one that usually opts for a disposable item when there is a reusable version (AJ's Beetle Eater), however, cleaning the propolis from the access holes on the reusable trap is a real challenge. We should have it in stock within a week or two.
