If your up for some experimenting, I have just added a new section to my website with beekeeping patents. I will continue to add more as time permits and space allows. If you have a particular patent you would like to see, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

If I can find it I have a set of patent papers from around 1900 for a bee hive. I'll look for them.

There is a big annual bee meeting at Ohio State University Extension at Wooster, Ohio. There is a very fine collection of old hives, equipment and manufacturing equipment. They have the actual machine that a.I Root describes in the book for making the rollers to make wax foundation.

Hey Robo, do you personally use top entrance for your bees in NY? Is it a good idea or bad idea? Thanks  I personally don't use top entrances. Gave it a try and went back to bottom entrances -> http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php/topic,25982.msg203259.html#msg203259Just my personal preference. You will find others that swear by them. I don't think there is a right or wrong way. Feral hives use whatever they are dealt with quite efficiently.

Thank you for the info, wasn't sure which way to go. My hive count is now 5 strong with some nucs and I have started to make some woodenware. But I live in central NY so not sure, we have skunks in the country always giving them problems but the winters are so cold..... wasn't sure which way to go. I'll continue using bottom entrances. Thanks.
