Just for New Beekeepers

Frame of Capped Honey


Now that I have been a beekeeper for a while I am learning how to identify what the bees are doing and what is actually in the frames of comb.  The hardest thing for me, besides getting over the fear of being stung, was to identify and tell the difference between brood, drone brood, pollen, capped honey etc.  I ran across these pictures on Google the other day and wanted to put them up as they are the best I have seen for new or otherwise beekeepers to identify what each comb frame actually has in it.  If you are not a beekeeper take some time and think about getting involved and keeping a hive of bees, Wild Ed




I would invite anyone in Williamson County or anywhere in that general part of Central Texas to come visit the
WILLIAMSON COUNTY AREA BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION

A great group of beekeepers ready to help you get started in keeping bees
