I have a 10 frame hive that has no honey in it. I’m assuming it was robbed. I have another 10 and an 8 that have lots of honey. Is it ok this time of year to steal from those hives and put frames of honey in the robbed out hive. There are still quite a lot of bees in the hive and i have been feeding also. I really would like to save this hive if I can. Thank you

In February, I posted a question to Ask Extension (#0162675 - the link to this question no longer works) if I could use wood chips that were in various stages of decomposition as a mulch on my vegetable garden. The response, in part, was "You can still use it as mulch in vegetable or landscape garden beds." I have since read in several places on internet gardening sites that one should not use wood chips on a vegetable garden for various reasons, including depleting nitrogen. My wood chips are from a dying maple tree that was cut down and shredded a couple years ago. Do you still think using these wood chips is a good idea?

Hi there, I work for a landscaping company in Colorado that specializes in perennial bed maintenance. I had a client who was asking about what is the best over-winter fertilizer she can use after cutting back plants in the fall. Altitude here is about 6500 feet.
