Big Sale Has Started - UPDATED 07-31-25 (01 Apr 2025)
As some of you know my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on May 31, 2025. I posted it in the Members Only section when it happened. Thanks to all of you who have offered kind words on the forum, with phone calls, and visits in person during this time.
The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. I don't have the manpower, or the desire to do a big event like originally planned, I just need to sell a lot of parts that are taking up too much space here. I have been told and believe we are overloaded with Wheel Horse parts like no one has ever seen. Peeps have already been coming in from different parts of the country and buying a lot of stuff due to seeing the sale page, and seeing we are the only Wheel Horse only business in the USA that does things on the scale we do. The sale will continue for awhile until I free up some more space but you may not want to wait too long as things are being sold every day and there are limits to how many of certain parts will be sold.
As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts and the Big Sale Page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything... This is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

My son has one hive, and they are not allot of work. We got 15# of wonderful honey this year.
We will see how many survive the winter, just put some sugar in yesterday and found several hundred died (which is normal).
Only using a smoker you can maintain the hive without protective gear. We don't bother with hoods or gloves and they leave you alone.
Very interesting and rewarding, and an integral part of crop production.

if you go to a bee forum its easy, fun and simple to the people already doing it.
but to a first timer looks at it differently.
its just like someone asking in here how to tear apart a carburetor.
lots scarier for the person asking them us telling him what to do.

We have some problems around here with wood bees, they can tear the crap out of things. Down at the farm and when I see any up here I would just zap them with the ether flame, the wings would burn right of, they would drop then step on them, problem solved. Wasps get handled the same way, or anything else with a stinger for that matter...
