They only eat the ticks that are on them, making absolutely no difference in the tick population. If not in Ft. Knox and they find your chickens 1 will come back nightly to kill your chickens and eat their stomachs. That will make a difference in your coop's population. If you find one that...

I've gone to just skinning. No boiling water, no steeping and no plucking. I also don't do the numbers Bay does. Hope not. Maybe he's like me and figured out that internet is the #1 reason I've become a lazy pos. I did so much more work out side without tv or computer. Ditto

Checked a hive and the splits Sun 4-14-24. The one hive and split that I just slide the whole hive over and took the top box and put it in the original spot had the queen in it, instead of the other box. Either way works their is more stores for the unqueened colony to work with, although I...

I truly wish I was years ahead on my little "mini" Zebu project to have several pulling carts. For the same reasons and I could cart away from home and hunt or fish and bring home the bacon on a literal term. I can and have drug deer back to the house strapped to the saddle horn though.

I did splits on both hives Sun. 4-7-24. Will check on them next weekend and see how they are doing. For @farmerjan
