Excerpt: "Its your move, Dan.
In the increasingly public and embarrassing spat between Redskins owner Dan Snyder and Mike Shanahan, the embattled coach has decided to bench quarterback Robert Griffin III.
The NFL Network has reported Shanahan will start backup quarterback Kirk Cousins on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, a move that likely means Griffin will not play again this season. Redskins players have been told that Griffin will be inactive in Atlanta and Rex Grossman will back up Cousins, according to the NFL Network.
Shanahan had said Monday that he was considering benching Griffin because he had been sacked 24 times in the previous five games, and that if he did it would be for the remainder of the season. Griffin did not have a regular offseason training program leading into the 2013 season because of a torn ACL he suffered in a playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks in January." Read more...

I have gotten some good ones, but predominantly I find that there are a lot of low quality nucs out there.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Anyone's personal experience is just so much anecdotal evidence, but for what it is worth our local club bought 135 packages from wilbanks in ga. Scheduled delivery was April 1 but because of Weather was pushed back to April 13. We also got 5 extra queens as insurance - which I banked for a week until everyone had time to make an inspection. 1 out of 135 had a queen problem that I heard about. "3" pound packages were probably closer to 4 pounds of bees, queens were quickly accepted, and so far good layers. So it's not all bad out of Georgia.
Something to consider is that you are probably a lot less likely to get a brood disease along with a package. It is fairly likely that nucs - even from a good supplier - will come on well used comb. If you wanted to compare nucs to packages then install 1 1/2 package per hive - similar price to a 5 frame nuc. I haven't tried it but an $85 package compare to a $125 nuc is sure not apples and apples.
Well, the facts don't support your theory. From the surveys done over the last few years, I would say package bees have a big problem and I would bet that a higher % of packages fail than nucleus colonies fail.
Barnstable County Beekeepers report 60% failure of package.
Beekeepers Association of Northern Virginia report 82% failure of packager to live one year.
Maine State Beekeepers reported similar results although the numbers aren't in front of me.
Sorry Bluegrass, I can't go along with what you say. Ask the folks at Betterbee, and their customers, how the nucs look...then ask the beekeepers up here in the north how their packaged look. See, I travel the country and listen to folks and their stories. Not a guess, not a stab in the dark to come up with some number. The truth coming from honest folks who plunked down their money and got sick bees and crappy queens.
A reputable dealer would replace packages with drone layers, but I'm being told that doesn't happen. Just sending them another queen doesn't help. Their package is too far gone by the time the beekeeper figures out the problem.
Wilbanks produces good packages, but he has become notorious for delays even in the best of weather.
The package guys in GA are for the most part a good group of guys. (there is one wife you have to watch out for ) I have had very few problems from any of them and most will go out of their way to keep their customers happy. I predominantly buy from 2 suppliers, but I spread the wealth around to some of the smaller guys also. I don't buy from Wilbanks any longer because I think he has more business than he can really support at this point and there are other guys who are able to fill my needs in a more timely manner.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
I am sure what you produce is likely quality nucs. I don't know for sure because I was unable to get any to try. The fact that your demand is so great is indicative of your product.
On the other hand I recall a thread on here about a month ago about some queens a member claimed they purchased from you last fall and all failed to take the nucs through the winter. The person was quick to take the blame for the failures themselves though so I guess you will not be sending them replacements?
Each have their place... Some people do not want to spend the nearly $200.00 that Betterbee charges for one of (your) nucs. I hear from people all the time who say "if they are going to die anyway, I might as well buy the cheaper version" indicating that the nucs they bought the year before didn't winter well either. And even if you throw in all nuc producers together they fall far short of filling the void that the 750,000 packages produced in the USA every year fill.
The fact of the matter is that the majority of the packages I sell per year are sold to new beekeepers who are in their first or second year. It is true that they often end up replacing those packages the next year. It is also true that I can put together step by step instructions on taking care of a package of bees in order to be successful with them and people still completely disregard the directions and go queen hunting on a daily basis, direct release queens because somebody told them it was okay to do it that way. etc etc etc.

Always question Conventional Wisdom.
I was talking about drone layers Bluegrass. Anyone who buys my queens knows that if one is a drone layer she will be replaced. Doesn't happen often but does happen. Now the fact that someone's nucs don't make the winter doesn't mean it's the queen's fault. Funny that person...I don't recall the thread...never called me.
They rarely call me either. Most often I hear about package failures the following year when they order replacements. Drone layers usually are a pretty insignificant issue with packages in most years. Often I don't hear about it at all... I have developed a 5th sense for knowing when somebody lost their bees but for what ever reason play it up about how great the bees were and they want more...
I was supposed to pickup 500 packages last Monday and received a call from Gardner that he wanted to give the queens an extra week because the weather has been poor in GA. I really can't ask for much more than that. If conditions are bad they do what they can to work around that just like you and I do.
Just out of curiosity: when was the last time you used a package to fill one of your hives? I don't have any available this season, but let me put you down for some for next season and give them a shot so you can make a more objective opinion on their quality. I will barter them to you for a nuc.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
bluegrass have I detected a trend here? BetterBee, Wilbanks, Palmer.
Prince William County Beekeepers- A total of 68% of package started hives survived the first winter whereas 83% of nuc started hives survived this first season. These results were further emphasized in the second year. Hives that survived the first year and then again through the 2010 season into 2011, consisted only of 40% of packaged started hives, whereas 70 % of nuc started hives survived into the second year.
And our recent experience of (now verified) almost 50% total failure (queen DOA, queen dead after install or laying workers) within 1 month of package install.
Every time this issue is brought up those of us critical of the quality of packaged bees seem to be accused of personally bashing the packaged producers. We are not bashing the individuals involved in the business but just what appears to be the result of the industry trying to meet increasing demand and quality suffering. As MP points out- there are some actual surveys now to support this- from a variety of sources with folks tracking actual data and across multiple sources (i.e., not anecdotal evidence and stories) and from a variety of East Coast geographic regions that show nuc started colonies outperform packaged bees- even nucs made with "store bought" queens from commercial queen producers in terms of winter survival. Some of the above mentioned surveys even tracked data for 2-3 years with similar results.
I have gone thru nearly 100 packages and you could not pay me to use packages again. Some years the supersedure rate would be 75%.
In every business there are crooked suppliers. The value of meeting the guy you are buying from and the bees being local are a tremendous plus.
Nucs have served me well and every beekeeper I have helped who has made the switch have all been blown away how much more success prone the bees were.
Every one has an opinion but I'd rather take 10 good nucs than 40 packages any day.
I guess we should all stop selling packages and everybody can vie for the limited number of nucs available and we can see what demand does to nuc prices? Will the US bee industry survive when a nuc costs $450.00, $600,00 $1000,00?
I have surveyed survival myself and it is impossible to get consistent data without doing it under controlled conditions. Surveys get filled out inconsistently due to peoples interpretation of the questions and definitions. Even when I attempted to do controls myself the picture gets muddled by general management and other factors. Bear attacks, swarming, supercedure. Robbing, mite loads, treatments, no treatments.... Too many other factors come into play to really track any good data...
Then something occurred to me... Of all the samples from dead hives I have sent into the bee lab over several years... not once was the cause of death "started from package". There are always some identifiable cause of death and often those causes are the same in both package started and nuc started deadouts.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
i've never tried a package, only nucs.
it only makes sense that you could have more confidence with success with a colony that is already queenright, has comb, and is expanding.
meeting the guy and getting to look at the brood pattern were big plusses for me.
but i understand the availability factor.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I've noticed package prices going up in price also. I only pay $90 bucks for my nucs.
No offense but there is no way you can raise as high of a quality queen in a package as in a nuc. The environment is much more natural and stable.
Thanks squarepeg for your honest statement.
The divide on this topic is completely biased around here due to the fact that many who unbudgenly back one product or the other either #1. earn income selling one or the other like MP and I. #2. Have experience with only one or the other.
Kamon: A queen cannot be raised in a package at all. The method for raising package queens is the same as the methods nuc producers use. The queens that come in my packages are all pulled from their matting nucs the day before I deliver them and placed in their cages in the packages. Also many many nucs are made up with queens bought through package producers. That is especially true in the north where we can't produce a queen early enough to make a nuc... So if the nuc isn't over wintered like MP does it is likely headed up by an introduced queen bought from a breeder somewhere warmer.
In the northeast there is also a lot of southern nucs being brought in from down south to supplement "local" nuc availability. Many guys are honest about the fact that the nucs they sell come from down south, but I know of several who are not.
Of course none of this matters in your situation because of your location.
And for $90.00 I would buy nucs also. $90.00 isn't a realistic price in my area... $130.00 is the low end and up to around $175.00.

An interesting question, and not too far off the topic, is what percentage of beekeepers don't have to buy nucs or packages each year to maintain their colony numbers?

Family and friends of sports broadcaster Phillip Leishman were last night at his side after he slipped into a coma.
The 61-year-old, who had surgery on a brain tumour last year, became sick again last week.
Longtime friend and horse racing broadcaster Des Coppins said it was a tough time for everyone, particularly for Leishman's wife Michelle and the couple's three children Harry, India and Lily.
Coppins said last night they were trying to make things as comfortable as they could for Leishman and the family were taking things one step at a time.
"We know the inevitable's there - everybody knows he's got serious cancer," he said. "They're receiving support left, right and centre. They're a very close-knit family. He's in the public eye, but they're a very private family."
Coppins had talked to his old mate a few days ago.
Coppins, who was best man at the Leishmans' wedding, said he had received dozens of messages from people around the country.
"We work [together] and we were and we are close mates. We'll be there forever. He's almost a brother - in fact he's a brother - that's the way I see Phillip."

DIRECTV terminated carriage of KRDO, the ABC affiliate for Southern Colorado at 11 am today. Station KRDO General Manager, Tim Larson expressed disappointment that "DIRECTV would deprive its subscribers of KRDO and ABC's popular national and local programming," while noting that DIRECTV's decision only affects DIRECTV subscribers. Larson pointed out the Station can still be received over-the-air, free, and by several local cable systems and the DISH satellite service.
KRDO General Manager Tim Larson said the Station and DIRECTV have been in negotiations for several weeks, but the negotiations reached an impasse earlier this week. The Station's current carriage agreement with DIRECTV expired September 30, but in an effort to accommodate DIRECTV and avoid a disruption of service to DIRECTV satellite subscribers, Larson said the Station granted DIRECTV an extension to 11am October 9, 2013.
Satellite companies, like cable companies, mark-up the price they pay for local broadcast signals and re-sell those signals to their subscribers. The KRDO General Manager added, "The core dispute between DIRECTV and the Station involves (1) the price DIRECTV is willing to pay the Station for the right to re-sell the Station's signal and (2) DIRECTV's demand for the right to place the Station's signal on the Internet without paying the Station a fair price.
KRDO General Manager Tim Larson expressed hope the current impasse will be resolved and the disruption in service for DIRECTV's subscribers will end, but he cautioned that DIRECTV subscribers may wish to make plans for receiving the Station off the air for free, or switch to a local cable company or the DISH satellite service.

Where I stayed
The bus from Managua dropped us off in the Parque Central in Granada, and after wandering around for a bit we booked into Hospidaje Cocibolca with a balcony view of the beautiful colonial town. We spent four nights in Granada, walking around the market, the huge yellow cathedral and down to the lake front from where we could see the two giant volcanoes on Isla de Ometepe which is where we would be heading to soon. We took a tour of Las Isletas, a group of 365 islands created when the nearby Mombacho volcano erupted into the lake. The islands are now a mixture of privately owned by Nicaragua's elite, and in contrast to this modest local families who make their livings as fishermen. One island with a mansion built on it is owned by the richest family in Nicaragua (the owners of a rum company), another is owned by a vet and is now a monkey refuge home to white faced and spider monkeys. The islands are also a good place to see wildlife, and although we didn't encounter any of the bull sharks or crocs that roam these waters we did see some freshwater turtles and parrots. There were local men rowing their kids across the lake to school in canoes, and beautiful fishing communities in traditional houses who rely upon this lake for their every need including washing, cooking, cleaning, and fishing
We met a nice couple from London, Stacey and Jono, at our hospidaje who are travelling a similar route to ours and who we hope to meet up with again at some point over the next few months. We also bumped into Sarah and Phil who we met in Merida, Mexico a few weeks ago and we all booked a tour from 'Leo' to the jungle canopy to ride the zip lines. When we arrived the next morning it was absolutely chucking it down. We waited there for the rain to stop, drinking free coffee for as long as the staff there would allow, but in the end decided to try again tomorrow instead. We returned to an annoyingly sunny Granada 15 minutes down the road, so borrowed a couple of bikes from our new mate Leo who let us take them for free and checked out some more of the town, lake and old train station. As usual the rain came again that evening and we spent it watching Toy Story 3 with Sarah and Phil (not quite the cinematic experience we would have liked, watching it on our laptop, propped up on books with one portable speaker to huddle around) and got some delicious chicken from a street BBQ set up outside our place.
The next morning we woke up at 6.30 to the sound of heavy rain on the corrugated metal roof of our room and we knew it was going to be an interesting morning in the jungle. We were leaving that afternoon and so had no choice but to dig out the 'kags' and embrace the weather. We checked out and trudged up to Leo's in the pouring rain with all of our gear to meet Sarah, Phil and our driver and all piled in to head up to the zip lining. As soon as we arrived we were being kitted out with harnesses, runners, gloves and helmets completing the action man look along with the raincoats and walking boots...fetching. The cables are strung from one huge tree to another about 40 foot from the ground and over a distance of up to 300 foot long

Victim: Steve G. Wilson, 40 YOA
Suspect: Unknown

Date: January 8, 2000
Steve Wilson was driving, a white 1999 Ford Explorer, Nevada plates 721GWB, westbound on Owens, West of "H" Street when he was shot. He drove, while injured, into the intersection, running a red light, where he was struck by another vehicle. Steve's vehicle caromed into the parking lot of the Westland Plaza shopping center, 1061 W.

Steve was transported to University Medical Center, Trauma Unit, where he succumbed to his wounds.
A witness reported seeing Steve's vehicle stopped on Jackson St. near "F" Street. A black male, 18 to 25 years old, 5'6" to 5"7', 165 pounds wearing a red baseball cap, red shoes, dark pants, and a dark jacket was seen getting into the Explorer.

Yeah or nay? I'm going to get a swarm right now (july 21), I'm going to feed them like crazy for a few weeks and see how much comb they can build. I may just combine at that point depending how they do.
Why are they swarming this late? No nectar flow here for the last few weeks. Are they swarming to get out of a bad mite load situation?

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Mining for Wisdom within Delusion
Maitreya's Distinction between Phenomena and the Nature of Phenomena and Its Indian and Tibetan CommentariesMaitreya's Distinction between Phenomena and the Nature of Phenomena distinguishes the illusory phenomenal world of saṃsāra produced by the confused dualistic mind from the ultimate reality that is mind's true nature. The transition from the one to the other is the process of "mining for wisdom within delusion." Maitreya's text calls this "the fundamental change," which refers to the vanishing of delusive appearances through practicing the path, thus revealing the… Read More

Together, these texts not only discuss the "hidden meaning" of the Prajnaparamita Sutras—the paths and bhumis of sravakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas—but also serve as contemplative manuals for the explicit topic of these sutras—emptiness—and how it is to be understood on the progressive… Read More

And it's pretty awesome! You can play co-op if you want with 1 or 2 friends, and once you beat it, you can play on the harder difficulties to continue leveling up, and upgrading your skills and gear.

The Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Internship program provides an opportunity to improve writing skills, network and gain knowledge of the dairy industry.
by Chelsey Johnson, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
This summer, I had the honor and privilege of working as the 24th Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern. This opportunity not only gave me a chance to improve my writing and editing skills. It also offered me numerous chances to expand my knowledge of the dairy industry and grow professionally. I encourage hard working and ambitious college students with an interest in the dairy industry and writing to consider applying for this internship. Below are a few highlights from my summer.
From Fort Atkinson to Arkansas. I spent a majority of my summer working at the Hoard's Dairyman office in Fort Atkinson, Wis. However, I spent about three weeks throughout the summer traveling. During my travels, I attended two conferences and the American Milking Shorthorn Society Annual Convention in Rogers, Ark. I also visited 14 dairies throughout Kansas and Michigan to learn about their operations and write farm stories for the magazine.
Helping busy farmers. One responsibility I had this summer was writing research summaries each issue for the Farm Flash page. I improved my understanding of the dairy industry and my technical writing skills. By condensing lengthy research studies and newsletters into a shorter summary, I could help busy farmers gain important information in less time.
Preparing for World Dairy Expo. Each year Hoard's Dairyman prints a World Dairy Expo supplement stitched into the September 10 issue of the magazine. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with the editorial team on planning layouts, writing articles and editing articles. I also look forward to returning to Wisconsin in October to work on the Hoard's Dairyman team at World Dairy Expo.
If you are interested in this internship opportunity, apply before October 19, 2012, for the following summer. Students can mail resumes, grade transcripts, cover letter and three written letters of recommendation from references to Corey Geiger, Internship Coordinator, 28 Milwaukee Ave. West, Fort Atkinson, WI 53538.

text: Hey, I want to start working on some calendars that feature the rides here on GMtruckclub.com. I have a feeling these are going to take some time so I want to get started to hopefully have them done by end of January. I plan on making maybe 4 or 5 of them and listing them for sale on cafepress.com. The same site that currently holds the logo t-shirts. I have to make different stores for each one becuase in order to have multiple items you have to pay a monthly fee for your store which I really don't wanna do. So anyways I was thinking more then 12 people would like to have their rides featured on a full color calendar. So we could have 1 for silverado's and sierra's of different years and styles. 1 for the little guys:happy: s-10's/canyons/colorado's. 1 for Suv's, your burbans, tahoes and so forth. An old school calendar. I've seen some pretty awesome classics on here and finally for the offroaders. I'll need large size good quality pictures of your rides. I plan on having your username at the top and a list of modifications on the bottom but not interferring with the pic of your ride. I've inlisted the help of 2 other members to help with the design and layout to give me a hand. I'll be making threads in the other forums to post your pics. Now just a couple more things. If your truck doesn't get featured I'm sorry. We have over 13000 members, many with multiple rides and there's only spots for 48-60 of them. I figured that's better then only 12. I might make single calendars for those who didn't get chosen but really want one of their truck. Again this will take time, so take some good quality photo's if you don't already have them and post them in the designated threads. If I left anything out I'll update later and if you have questions go ahead and ask . P.S bye the way i'm still working on the decals. I'm having someone work on them right now so that I can see some of the finished products. Don't have an ETA yet but i'm workin on it. :great: Thanks, Kris

Cool and comfortable apartment south-exposed with a true Paris-life feeling! It comfortably fits 2-4 and is perfectly located on a quiet street, just few blocks from main touristic spots. Enjoy a fully furnished flat, easy access to all major subway lines!
The apartment of 48 meters square, facing south, has recently been completely renovated, equipped with all amenities that travelers might expect.
You can feel like you are at home, with all the amenities and furniture you may need for your comfort during your stay.
Look at the attached map and photo gallery to make up your mind.
The apartment is located close to the river channel "Ourcq", city gardens and urban parks of "La Villette", "Les Buttes Chaumont", the Zenith of "La Villette" and soon the new Philharmonic of "Paris."
It is also close to night groceries, convenient stores, restaurants, covered markets or outdoor, indoor and outdoor cinemas, a swimming pool, an ice rink, sports and fitness clubs, a pier for cruises on the canal "Saint-Martin" with "Canauxrama" etc.
The apartment is served by the subway/metro 5 and 7, the T3 tram, day buses and night ones "Noctilien" for party goers (L40-L60 and N13-N41-N45-N140-N143).
It is located less than 100 meters from several bike rental stations "Vélib" and electric cars "Autolib '" stations.
To all those who visit Paris for the first time. Compared to other major European capitals or U.S. and Asian cities, Paris has a human scale and reasonable distances. It is very easy to enjoy it on foot or by bike and quickly by public transportation.
Rent an apartment at a better price, a few metro stops away from the historic center, is not disadvantageous at all. It is even recommended, if you want to share the daily life of Parisians and French people.
Originally from Paris, fluent in English and German.
Architect and urban planner, it will be a great pleasure for me to give you as much as I can, travel information on where to go and how to get there, what to eat and drink ... but also historical details and other interesting anecdotes.
As I am an heavy traveler myself, I could give you some good tips and tricks to make your stay in Paris the most memorable possible.
Anyway if needed, just ask. I will always be available to respond.
House rulesOTHER THINGS TO NOTE
It is a non-smoking flat.
I do not have high expectations about house rules. My main wish is just that you respect this place as if it were your own. For the rest, nothing special, I'm pretty flexible if the requests are reasonable.

Reviews of this property
There was some initial confusion about the exact location of the apartment, due to an apparent mistake on the website. The actual location on Rue Joseph Kosma was excellent, though, and correct as presently stated on the website.
The apartment is spacious, quiet and clean and we can really recommend this place. We had young kids with us, who equally enjoyed it. The Parc the La Vilette is just around the corner, as are some good bakeries, eateries and two supermarkets and a metro station.
We don't really understand the negative reactions placed on this website by some earlier guests. Maybe they expected a luxury hotel.
We would definitely come back here next time.
Dit is een prima plek om te verblijven, met alles in de buurt wat je nodig hebt: goede bakker, fijne eettentjes, supermarktjes en een metro. Erg rustige buurt, prima locatie ook voor bezoek met kinderen. Parc de la Vilette om de hoek. De twee negatieve recensies begrijpen wij niet goed, waarschijnlijk verwachtten dese gasten de luxe van een sterrenhotel. Contact met verhuurder, uitsluitend via mail, verliep vlotjes. Wij komen hier zeker terug in de toekomst.
Annet & Maurice, Amsterdam
Very nice and clean apartment in which everything is in place you could possibly need! It is 5 minutes walking from the metro, from which you reach all the major attractions. In addition, the environment is very quiet and you feel safe even at night when home!
Sehr schöne und saubere Wohnung, in der alles vorhanden ist was man brauchen könnte! Sie ist 5 Minuten zu fuß von der Metro entfernt, von der man alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten erreicht. Außerdem ist die Umgebung sehr ruhig und man fühlt sich auch in der Nacht beim Heimweg sicher!

i forget whic poster, maybe gmen0820, he was talking about this and how hed like to see us use more of the pistol formation...
people need to realize that part of the pistol formation thats actually good for immobile qbs, is that they are already halfway into their drop back by getting the ball in like a half shotgun snap. It kinda adds fractions of a second to the time a qb has to read the defense...and its also effective with running plays and PA's...
When I see RG III run those options with three or four players involved I just can't see the Giants pulling that off, as an example. I'm all for whatever works, but sometimes you just don't have the personnel to make some plays work.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I think we need a solid running game, we ran the ball ok last season but we were switching RBs because they were injured or not good at blocking. If Wilson becomes a better blocker and is the starter I think that will improve this offense a lot.
Pistol? Not on this team. This team has one "trick" play, and one trick play only. That dumbass direct snap to Bradshaw play that average 2.2 yards
They whole premise of the pistol is spread the field and make the defense defend the entire field. It helps create space in both the running and the passing games. And if anyone is curious to learn more about the the pistol there is a link below to a guide that was created for youth football but many of the principles are the same.

I was wondering if anyone knew how MLB pensions work. I always heard that a player has to have 10 years service in to recieve a pension but does that player get credit even if say he played in only 5 games in a given year?
I also was curious on how much does MLB pay a player per year for thier pensions. I'm guessing they recieve a pension until death too.

He had one previously that worked fine and gave that one to his mother. We warned him not to buy another for himself as he was just LUCKY on the first one. But he said "ohhhh no, for $200 how can you go wrong. He later damn near gave it away a month or so later just so he wouldn't have to look at it (or listen to us!) anymore.

First, I won't be buying it ! My Uncle went in with his son in-law on 2 hives, but they died over the winter. He originally said he would buy the extractor and has re-affirmed to me that he will still do so because he plans on having bee's in the future; up to 10 hives himself...I have only 4 ATM but might expand to six but no more.
Second, he doesn't mind spending money for a better product, i.e. if one extractor has a better motor but costs $100 more, he'd get the better one.
So with that in mind, which extractor would fit better in that criteria? From my limited knowledge, looks like the Maxant Power 9F is the one.
Depends on how big you want to go. The 20 frame Dadant will do 20 deeps or 32 mediums.
Thanks..I will look them up. Given this is our first year I am thinking we may not need an extractor at all for a bit. As a newbie I was thinking OMG much be ready for all that honey but now in reality I wondering if I shouldn't leave it for he bees their first winter putting up with someone so inexperienced! ..but then next year...another story Thanks for pointing me to local folks.
I have the Mann lake 18/9 and it works great. A lot of people say it is not strong (as opposed too a thicker walled maxant). WELL just today (5-13-13) I was driving down the road in my pickup, minding my own business, when at around 58 miles per hour, I noticed my extractor doing a triple Lindy in the rear view mirror. When I got out of the truck and looked at her I was surprised to find that it only had one bent leg and One dent in the upper rim of the tank. I went to the shop and took the leg off and bent it back and then I took out the basket and used a hammer and a couple blocks of wood to take out the dent in the rim... Works good as new. it seems pretty strong to me...
Bottles or jars should be on the list in the first post, but I'd also throw in a recommendation on a couple of food-grade plastic buckets. Even with only five hives, you can still end up with a sizable amount of honey. If you don't have the time or the space to bottle hundreds of jars of honey, you can go ahead and store it safely in the buckets, and quickly return the wet supers to the hive, so the bees can clean them up and get a little more stores for the winter. I'd rather fill six or eight buckets, and fill the jars as needed, rather than trying to bottle four hundred jars of honey in one night.
If I were the thread starter, I would get what I wanted that would suit my current needs and expansion plans, but I wouldn't spend a fortune on an extractor with that number of hives. We generally run around twenty hives, but winter deaths (and the passing of our beekeeping patriarch) has forced us to scale down to six. We do fine with an ancient nine-frame radial; even though there are two of us, we really don't uncap the frames that much faster than the third man can load it, flip the switch to spin them out, and unload the empties. I'd leave the cappings scratcher off the list...the one we have never gets used, and a kitchen fork will do just fine. The tip of the heated knife will easily get the corners, in any case.
A large sheet of plastic from a home improvement center spread across the floor will eliminate mopping in the event of a spill. If you are going to be standing on a cement garage floor the entire day, throw a few sheets of cardboard under it, and your feet will thank you.
We keep a few wet washcloths laying around to cool the knife, because the knife gets too hot in our opinion.
You said your storage area is limited. If you plan on storing the jars in a different location than your extracting room, build a few crates and get a cheap hand-truck, so you won't have to make dozens of trips carrying the honey. Make sure everything fits through the doorway before doing any major work or spending money.
I give every frame a nudge the day before I rob the supers from the bees to help eliminate dripping, but it's a good idea to keep a hive tool in the extraction area, anyways...no matter how soon it's been since you pulled the frame, propolis is the glue that always sticks.
Speaking of propolis, if you save it, remember to bring something in which to store it. Also, remember a bucket for wet cappings, after they have drained.
Our honey house is plumbed, but in years past we took a supply of clean water to wash the jars off after they were filled. Put the labels on last, and make sure you wash your hands first or wear latex gloves, so you don't get fingerprints on the paper.
The most important thing in our extraction area is a box of plastic spoons. None of us has the willpower to hold out for very long, without sampling the goods.
They have ...they're called grandkids.....cheaper than a motor on my handcranked maxant...
