Beehive Inspection. Anyone can be a bee owner. A successful beekeeper will inspect the hive for a queen, brood, pollen, honey, diseases, pests, and adequate room. If the hive is not healthy you will not have to worry about it for long. In cooler climates for the first inspection of spring it must be over 55F.If it is too cold the cluster will not survive. It is enough to check a hive every few weeks under normal circumstances.f the hive is not healthy you will not have to worry about it for long.

The steel drum is a percussion instrument, somewhere between a xylophone, a glockenspiel and the wood blocks. The sound is light and unique, it has a high resonance, and is typicaaly associated with a tropical setting.
Anything would work better than a brake drum- a box filled with dirt or clay with a hollow depression for the fire, a flat surface made of stone or steel with a pile of cinders creating a depression for the fire. Anything but a brake drum. Brake drums were meant for use on cars and trucks- not in a blacksmith's forge.
