How to use Bee Quick/Bee Go? - Beesource Beekeeping Forums
2011年2月18日 · The comment about the bee escape board I agree with IF you have the time and can open up the hive, install the bee escape, wait a day or 2, and come back to collect the supers.

2011年4月6日 · Our local bee club got a call from a local sherbet and fruit ice shop that has an outside eating area with trashcans. The owner says she is getting 10-30 bees inside and milling around each lidded trashcan, which is bothering the shop workers and the patrons. Since the main ingredients are fruit syrups and sugar water, it's not surprising.
