2010 Philadelphia Honey Festival
Reprinted from the Germantown/Mt. Airy Newspaper Philadelphia has a long history of beekeeping, laying claim to the father of modern beekeeping, L.L. Langstroth. The Philadelphia Honey Festival took place this weekend, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Langstroth’s birthday. With events … Continue reading
Garreson Publishing adds cupboard plans

Garreson Publishing Presents on Beehive Construction at ESHPA Conference
by Ariele Did you know that there is a type of wood called “cucumber”? I didn’t. It’s a wild magnolia and it”s frequently sold as yellow poplar, an altogether different tree species. A beekeeper mentioned it during Pete’s speech at … Continue reading

Viewing L.L. Langstroth’s Papers at the Philadelphia Honey Festival
In early September, Garreson Publishing (that’s Peter, Nancy, and I) attended the Philadelphia Honey Festival. We missed the opening ceremony because we got stuck in traffic on I-76, and accidentally ended up in NJ. Post-opening ceremonies on Friday night included … Continue reading
My Experience with Natural Beekeeping
Ten years ago, Dan, a local beekeeper in his eighties, told me he never had used Apistan or any other miticide in his 40+ colonies. Instead he gave them each a grease patty with a little wintergreen oil mixed in. … Continue reading
Three frequent questions about Beehive Frames
by Peter Sieling Why are hive boxes wider than the sum of the frames? Ten 1 3/8″ frames side by side fill a space 13 3/4″, but the interior width of the super is 14 3/4″. That leaves a one … Continue reading
