They anchor the honey filled comb on all four sides, I imagine because it is heavy.<br />Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-32169173664496808692020-04-08T19:24:24.674-04:002020-04-08T19:24:24.674-04:00Hi Linda,
This is my first time on your blog. I...Hi Linda,<br />This is my first time on your blog. I'm looking forward to perusing. Thank you! I am a top bar beek so my combs do not have frames. In reference to comb building, you mentioned, "if they are going to use it for brood, they don't attach it at the bottom." Interesting. Do you find this to be universally true? Why don't they attach the comb to the bottom of the frames? Thanks so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190408611384544868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-43610074205018189582020-04-07T11:13:16.097-04:002020-04-07T11:13:16.097-04:00If they insist on using chemicals and weed killers...If they insist on using chemicals and weed killers, push for them to do it at night. Most won't because they have to pay overtime, but it allows you the opportunity to emphasize that pollinators will be killed more frequently when they spray in the day time.

I'm a bee lover and advocate. I'm trying to get my local parks and groundskeepers aware of the importance of not using chemicals and weed killers. Do you have any advice, other than calling the local reps and officials? Thank you!!Rosie the Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716823916206001222noreply@blogger.com
