Lost all 6 of my hives this winter and my dad lost both of his - just when you think you have it figured out you have a crappy year. Had to order bees for the first time in a few years $180 for per package gets expensive quick.

I have a couple of these to make small splits with. They are super flexible and the bees seem to expand better than running regular 5 frame nucs. Plus it’s really handy to keep expanding upwards without having to move the bees into 10 frame equipment. I also run a frame feeder in my splits as well.

I don’t typically do walk away splits I wait until swarm season and when I find swarm cells that are capped (or close to be being capped) I do the following to prevent swarming and add hives; I find the laying queen and create a split with her - it could be a 5 frame NUC, 10 frame split ect...

I generally make some splits in the spring, but it all depends on how good the flow is. As far as queen rearing goes I use what the bees give me (swarm cells) and will move them into nucs until the queen gets mated and starts laying. Later I can use the nucs to requeen production hives, or grow...

This one would do!!!

I haven’t run into that issue on any of my cameras.

they get really good reception better than My cell phone actually

All my cameras are still reading 100% after being out for a few weeks on regular alkaline batteries, but they’ve only sent a few hundred pictures between all four cameras. I’m set on two shot burst, and timely transmission.

Here’s a decent buck pic.

Agreed I have one buck that is super camera shy. Before I switched to black out cameras the first picture would be the buck in frame the next would be a the flag running away.

Exactly I want a black out version so I don’t have to set them up high.

I continue to get pictures daily and the camera seems really fast I got 4 pictures of this guy transmitted to me in two minutes. The camera is set to two shot burst so really it took 8 pictures in two minutes. Happy so far.

Good concept but just a bunch of false promises. The app was had some cool features but they were all geared toward photo management, and not camera management.

First few pictures with the reveal look good.

Got three tactacam reveals set out today here is my review thus far. Positives; Setup was super easy Picture quality looks good camera seems well built Excellent cell reception Negatives; setting the camera to 5 shot multi shot seems to cause the camera to completely stop working after taking...
