Okay....I'm feeling much better now. Thank you all for your help and input. Will make sure to keep everyone updated on her progress. :)

No prob...she has had the mucus for a little while, really gooey. I just appreciate any help! The prolapse makes me a little nervous, guess this will be her first and last kidding.

I was asking about the pink part. What do I do in the event that it doesn't go back in?

Out with momma today and noticed this. No sign of distress or discomfort. Only visible when.she is on her hind legs. Due end of April I believe. Thanks for the help. Alicia

I did check out that thread and saved it to my bookmarks. They were very pretty. Not sure what type of honey...comb or otherwise. Right now I'm just concerned with trying to learn as much as possible to keep them alive.

Babsbag..I do have some mite strips to treat with if needed. I will.read up more on the drone trapping, haven't made it that far in my studying.

Thank you. Those were a lot of the concerns I had. I did get some pollen patties to supplement, just in case. I have ten frames coated in wax, still need to order another ten, just wanted to check opinions first. The guy I'm buying the bees from did say the queen is mated...does that mean the...

Good to know. Never did get the hive set up...in the house right now. I keep hearing opinions on foundation or none. What do you guys think, what's best?

Those were great pics! Congrats on the harvest and thanks for sharing.

I'm going to be setting up my hive this weekend. It's a 10 Frame double deep, I opted to go with beeswax foundation. I didn't want them to have to work harder than necessary,not sure if that's the right decision....

Ordered placed. Spoke with the guy who heads up the site. He stressed study study study...I feel like that's a good thing. I ordered 4lbs with an Italian queen,he said that kind is calmer. Any input?

Babsbag..what state r u in?

all I can say is wow!!! I stumbled upon this thread and got hooked. I'm so sorry you had to go through this...I'm.so grateful you posted all the pics and updates!! Kudos for having the time and love to take car of your doe.

That's a lot of bees. I did think/worry about the idea of not getting the queen or hurting some of the bees. Have any of you heard of northwest bee supply? Thinking of ordering from them

Starting to lean more and more in that direction. I want happy bees. Lol

I've heard that local bees do better. Found a place called northwest bee supply, going to check there and also going to call my gpa and ask if he has a bee guy for his berry fields. Bees from the supply place are about 30-40 miles from my house.

Hello from Yacolt, 12 miles north of Battleground. Have goats, chickens and ducks. Looking to add cows, pigs and bees.

I personally would just dive and take my chances...I'm a little more daring with stuff like this than the DH. Looked into northwestbeesuppy.com Not sure. Would have to drive to Olympia I think yo get them. Wil keep looking

Well...thanks for the input all. I have started to search online for local bees. Haven't gotten response back yet.

Now darling hubby is backing out...he says too difficult when we are just starting with the bees. :hide
