- Bee Truck - Beesource Beekeeping ForumsBed is low to the ground, mileage is fair (22+/-), all wheel drive, fits about 25 empty mediums, maybe 15 full, six hives, room in the back seat for my bee bag. I should add some rope hooks. It will get replaced eventually with a Toyota Tacoma w/aluminum flatbed, or similar if there is something better on the market a that time.

- Bee question | Beesource Beekeeping ForumsThat’s awesome you’re seeing scout bees checking out your hive! Leaving some comb in there is definitely a good start—it makes the hive more attractive to a swarm. Adding a bit of lemongrass oil is a great idea too, just a small drop or two near the entrance works wonders since it mimics the pheromone of a queen bee.
- Can i use rice cooker as a wax melter?Good idea. I certainly see how this may work and even use the rice cooker idea myself. FYI - that rice cooker needs to be a throw away - after doing this you better just keep it for the wax warming/melting purposes only - it is very hard to clean the melted wax afterwards.
