...  All you need is people thinking a piece of paper (stock) is super valuable and not selling.  Add to that environment  buyers suddenly thinking stocks is a good investment again and you have prices take off. 

$85,000,000,000 per month in just printed dollars are like the boll weevil that was just looking for a home. This is a powerful temptation and inducement for the FED to dabble in the troubled waters of the Dow.  Deposits and bonds are not paying squat, and where do you suggest that the FED invest or park these new or phantom dollars, in Syrian government bonds?  Come on your smarter than that Blue.... Blue.... Oh Blue.... HEY BLUE! 

Short video of my rabbits that are 7 weeks old today.
1 week and I begin to process a few of the larger ones.
The smaller ones will be up to weight at 9 weeks.
I'm amazed at the growth  rate I'm seeing.
Love these new Zealand's.  I'm very impressed.  These are all from only 2 litters.
16 it total.

I only requeen for genetic diversity or to make strong splits
that must get laying immediately. My production hives usually requeen
themselves and are going strong. I have some mating yards that I
keep high-bred queens on, but haven't been able to beat nature.
IMHO; there is altogether too much requeening going on today!

Welcome to the forum, TNBeeLady.  Good luck to you and your bees.  If you have any questions just give a post someone will usually get you an answer.

When I get ripe cells, I move them to two frames of brood, pollen, and stores in a
mating nuc and bank them there until I need them. Four part queen castle with 2-frame
splits works for me.

I will say I am surprised by some of the post that are being posted. if anyone has 's pm me. d2

It is my experience that queen cells must be in close proximity to heavy capped brood in order
for the nurse bees to care for the cells. I never remove brood from my cell builder and never
graft cells into frames unless they are surrounded by capped brood.

I did it a few times until I found out how dangerous it was to the beekeeper.
It can rot out the tissue surrounding your eyeball and burn you lungs if you
get any of the vapor in your face. I now use Formic Acid on a fume board.
Much safer and very effective

Hello and welcome. This is my second year too.

Like was said, we don't know what we don't know. "these bees" are still teaching us. d2
