I have been watching this hive for a few months. Watching it expand and grow larger. I figured at some point it would fall. It has.....it's on the ground

Not very many bees around

I'd like to try and harvest some of the comb maybe even open the Saguaro to get some honey.

Any advice? Leave it alone? Call a bee keeper?

Thanks

Ok Beeks,

Share which plants you grow or see the honeybees using most often that isn't wild.

Im trying to germinate them now.. So far, I've got Globe Gilia, Blue Salvia, Hyssop(True Hyssop), Mullein, Purple Coneflower, ... Still looking for a few more.

Preferably flowers that are perennial that bloom all season to sustain through the Dearth.
Anyone else heard this?
"This is what over a million dollars in dead Honeybee colonies looks like”

“This will be the biggest loss of US Honeybees in history”

Something is wiping out birds, bees & insects in rapid fashion - I’m sure you can all guess what it is. Unbelievably sad."

This is the craziest invention ive seen yet for Beekeeping. It's like a Jigsaw with motorized clamps to remove bees from the frames to harvest honey.

1.12 million beehives (66% of all bee) lost over the past 8 month.
12 months estimates 80% of all bees lost.

Pesticides, herbicide, Geo-engineering 🥵
Edit….From my comments
@RonnieDC Please do not ignore the microwaves and frequencies from wireless tech and cell phone towers and smart utility meters creating an blanket or mesh network of microwave transmissions that are damaging to plants, trees, animals, birds, humans AND insects!!

Finally got around to painting my bee hives. To bad they won't stay stacked like this.

So much pollen today... They have officially refused the Pollen Supplement and im cutting off the Organic Sugar Syrup after today. It's officially Spring in the PNW.

Hive Inspection was a success, Queen is still marked, laying great, no pests, and they're still only using the 7 Layens Frames for now.

I guess the Queen typically only uses around 6 Brood Frames for the layens hive so until we get a good nectar flow going i won't need more frames.

I checkerboarded a 1/4 length wax foundation frame in the middle of the brood to force them to build comb. They haven't touched the 2 frames i added several weeks ago when added to the end away from the entry.
This should help your bees!!!
In 2005, Monsanto grabbed 40% of the U.S. seed market when it bought out Seminis, making them the largest seed company in the world. They supply the genetics for 55% of the lettuce on U.S. shelves, 75% of the tomatoes, 85% of the peppers, with strong holdings in beans, cucumbers, squash, melons, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and peas! Monsanto is now legally registered or established to hold the trademark for a plethora of the named heirloom seed varieties. I share an excellent list of seed companies that are NOT affiliated with Monsanto:
