Here are two web sites that describe the type beekeeping I subscribe to and practice.<\/p>\n

Dee Lusby is currently my long distance mentor, mother of Small Cell Beekeeping.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.beesource.com\/point-of-view\/ed-dee-lusby\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Micheal Bush is highly successful in beekeeping with zero treatment methods.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.bushfarms.com\/bees.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, if going small cell or want to get closer to a natural type of beekeeping, I recommend this book “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Beekeeping<\/a>“. This is the only book available that instructs beekeepers on methods of keeping bees treatment free, zero treatment.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Beekeeping\/dp\/1615640118<\/a><\/p>\n

If going small cell and hiving Large cell bees I recommend using Mann Lake PF-100<\/a> Frame and foundation one piece plastic frame, (I sell the PF-100 and like it best for a regression tool) or\u00a0Honey Super Cell<\/a>\u00a0(HSC<\/a>) frames for an instent or one step regression. They can be bought through Max Hamby at this web site.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.honeysupercell.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Simmpson\u2019s Beekeeping Supply<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lapps Bee Supply<\/a>\u00a0are both selling Honey Super Cell, they might call it Super Cell, Supercell, or Supercell Frame.<\/p>\n

HSC<\/a>\u00a0is a bit on the expensive side but studies have shown that it works with lowering varroa loads and for regressing bees to a normal small size, instead of the abnormal artificial large size they have become in this modern time.<\/p>\n

I am also experimenting since last season with this hive of which I have hopes of it being a better hive for Alaska wintering of bees, but I am not yet recommending it but so far the colony is still alive since Feb 22nd. It is a Warre’ Hive design, my own is slightly different than normal.<\/p>\n
