As we said in the video we like trying new things so we can learn. But we try not to do to much that could harm a hive. Not sure if you asking but if you are, making a queen in winter in most areas doesn't work because there are no drones available to mate with her. That is unless you are in warmer climate where the bees don't ever really shut down for the winter. That's just me saying that based on my limited experience. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting.

yes, they are excited about having bees on their farm for pollination. We are excited about an opportunity to have some of our bees at another location. Every day is a learning is another chance to learn something about bee keeping. Some up some down but always learning. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching.

Thank you for your comment. This is some good advise for the bees as well as humans. We leave honey the hives but some are weaker and there isn't much weight. So that's the only reason we do extra feeding for a short time or during a dearth. Hope you have a blessed day and please tell other bee keepers about our page we would love to hear their comments based on their beekeeping experience's.

Thank you so much for your insight. I'll reach out to the person I got this recipe from to see what they say. What your saying is defiantly something to consider. Thanks for watch and also for you comment.

Thank for your comment. What method do you use to keep your records and what information to keep track of?

How do you like frame feeders. We have never tried them since all, but one of our boxes are 8 frame.

That happens sometimes. I'm trying to get better at the building so I don't have openings. We had some out of square boxes this year, and during the dearth, we had more issues with robbing. Thanks for the comment and for watching our video.

@@SolitudeAcres I got a package and more or less killed my first attempt. I am grown ass man and got blubbery over some bugs. I have 4 hives now since July and they are doing well! And i want it to stay that way.

@@phillipriggs3375 Sorry to hear you lost that package. I get the getting upset about losing bees. Your right their only bugs but for some reason we look at them different. Congratulations on the 4 functioning hives. We started this past spring with 4 hives by July we had 10 by sept we had 5. Now we are going into winter with 6 full hives. 1 strong 5 frame nuc and 1 weak nuc that we are trying to grow. Even though we have only been doing bee keeping for 2 years. I'm learning that there seems to always be ups and downs in bee keeping, but its how we handle those times and move forward that creates our success or not. Thanks for your insight.

after making the bee sucker we never really had a hive beetle issues this season. So we didn't really get to suck up a lot of bees at one time. We did test in couple times when we took it out to the hives but there were only one or two hives. we will put it in the list for this next year to do a follow up video. Thank you for asking about it and thanks for watching.

LOL , Nope didn't get much smashing session in this season while it took away the fun I guess it was a good problem to have.

Hmmm haven't heard of that before. I think the idea behind this recipe is that the heat and moisture from the hive will soften the patty However we like trying new things so we will check into it more for the future video. Thank you so much for your comment, please let others know about our page. Any time you have comment we would love to hear it. Have a blessed day.

Corn syrup is not good for bees.

@@rebeccaglaze6863 That is true its good for bees.

@@rebeccaglaze6863 for the corn syrup you want to avoid the HFCS i searched and found LIGHT corn syrup doesn't have HFCS, But anyway adding small amount and to fondants only is ok no big deal, I searched on BeeResource forums to see if anyone ever did add corn syrup and found some guy asking about it no one told him he's wrong, but noticed the HFCS what you really need to avoid

Thank you for watch and asking a question. Here's the link on Dave Burn website. If you go to the bottom of the page of his Winter be kind boards you will see his recipe. We add one teaspoon each of Honey be Healthy and Amino B booster. Plus we add a little dry pollen sometimes to the mixers and well as sprinkle it on the tray before we pour the mixture in. Hope that helps. Have a bless day.

Its going to be fun adventure. Thanks for letting us share this fun world of bee with you.

Its a lot of fun, sometimes frustrating. But we learn everyday about the bee and how they work. But most of for what they do for us and our plants and food. They will teach you a lot about yourself as well. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please share and tell your friend about our page.

Thank you so much for the your comment. I wonder how the potatoes you talked about will do in the south? We will definitely look into added Chicken Manure , we just have to track some down. All this information is great to know. Have a blessed day.

These first two years we have also see tiny holes in some of our potatoes. Any idea what that could be?

We didn't check the temp of the soil ,but i would assume warm since our temps were in the 90s a lot this summer. Full sun in the area. We will just to have to study up on them more. Lack of water might have been an issues as well. Thank you watching and commenting.

First thank you so much for your question and watching the video. I'll be happy to answer your question but I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. Could you be asking about the foundation being precut ? Maybe you can clarify your question or let me know what part of the video you might be referring to. Thank you.

Thanks for your comment and insight. We have changed out the queen in this hive and that's seems to have helped.

Thank you so much for watching and your comment. We love to hear from people, especially fellow bee keepers. It's part of what we have learned about the bee community is most offer good advise and just want to help. As far as mite go, yes we do mite checks and treat but we are still continuing to learn what treatments work best for our hives and area. We have also learned that timing is a big part as well. We hope you enjoy our videos and please tell others about our channel. Have a blessed day.

Thank you for your comment.

@@adriaward4483 thank you, yes I can try the peas in the fall and see if they do better. Hopefully any frost will stay away for a while in our area!

@@dcsblessedbees it was in the low 70s at night. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you, the Bees did most of the work and made it easy. We were happy with what we got. Please share with your friends and Thank you so much for watching our videos.

Haha, Funny you say that we have been looking into it for the future. Thanks for the comment. Please share with your friends.

We only pulled honey from 4 hives. It was 28 medium frames I believe. Some were not full frames of honey. Still trying to learn the honey flow timing and when to get honey supers on. Later this year will are going to be adding another yard with some hives in it for next years flow. Thanks for watching and your comments are always welcomed.

Yes we were blessed with more honey than last year despite some set back. But we are grateful for what we got. It always a learner experience for sure. Thank you for taking time to watch our videos. Please tell other about our channel.

Thanks for the comment. Howdo you use lemon grass oil to help with the problem? Do you have issues with robbing when use that oil?

@@SolitudeAcres putting a single drop on the back of one of the frames will keep moths out. I actually wouldn't do that with a week hive because there would be robbing. Hope this helps.

nope by far not our strongest hives. That hive had struggle since spring when we get them to make a queen. Finally did get one to take but she was small. So it was our first time splitting a hive an we were just trying experience that process. It just didn't work well. But we learned from it. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment.

Thank for the comment. Yes it's just another one of the frustrating things that happen with bee keeping. We havent like the setback when stuff like this happen but we try to remember it's just another learn experience. We will read up on the eucalyptus oil and see what info we can find. Thanks again for stopping by.

예, 우리는 오이를 키우는 것을 좋아합니다. 시청해 주셔서 감사드리며 공유해 주세요.

Thank you so much for the info. That's seems like sound advise. With this being the start of our second year we still have a lot to learn but like trying things for the experience as well. Please tell other about our channel and thanks for taking the time to stop by.

@@SolitudeAcres no worries… I’m still “new” to beekeeping as well. Have learned a ton in the last 4 years by experience. Keep it up… it can be a wild ride

@@orangevw36 yeah we found that out so far. Once you think you understand something the next thing you find out is you didn't really know anything. We have come to conclusion that we just have to take every moment as a learning time.

Warum nicht. Danke für deinen Kommentar

@@dcsblessedbees thank you! We will be sharing an upcoming honey extraction and how much honey we ended up with! 👏🏻

Thats great advice. We will remember that next year. Thank you for your comment and for watching.

He really enjoyed painting the box. Thank you watching and please tell your friends about our channel

Thank you. It was fun for the first time. We will see how this year's comes out.

Yes we've heard of places doing that. During spring and up until the bees stop getting on the white clover we get in our yard we only mow where things aren't flowering in the grass. It look funny but it' only in the back yard. Hopefully it helps the pollinators a little bit. Thanks for watching

@@SolitudeAcres we have a gully in our yard that we let go wild every spring and summer. I need to get one of those signs for my yard that says we are feeding the bees.

Thank you for your comment.

You are really, really full of 🐝 shit!!!

All very good points. Thank for you watching and responding. With this only being the start of our second year of Bee keeping we still like to get into some of the hives each week so we can continue to learn. Please tell your friends about our channel.

You're really full of 🐝 shit!!

I agree, midday is the best time of day. But as we all know weather, heat and other life stuff get in the way. So we all do our best we can to get in our hives even if it isn't idea time of day.

@@SolitudeAcres yep do what works… I still use a suit or sometimes hat but for me the clothes make me less observant of me & the 🐝 …good for me to 🐝 more observant of as much as possible 🐝cause theres lots of them and every 🐝 matters to me.

I’m so aware without bee apparel almost every bee that stings or has tried to sting me in front or most side stings I saw the 🐝 on attack approach…swooshzzzzzzzz I usually successfully avoid them except for the ones that go to my back…those hit way more often….it’s fun to dodge them…sometimes/possibly often they go to attack just once really because the flight path was set and things can set them to impact….I dodge more than the numbers of 🐝 that are surely not on attack formation by accident…sometimes they can 🐝 really accurate…gotta know the wind etc to really dodge well.

I should have went I to more detail on how it works. Maybe we can do a video on that once see how the bees do with it. As I said in the video we like trying new things, I believe it's the best way to learn how to become a better bee keeper. So basically how it works is you put wax foundation between the split plastic frames. The frames have a plastic ring in side. Once the bees fill with comb and honey you pull the frames out of the box. Separate the split frames to expose the comb and ring. Pull that out and you put caps on each side of the ring and you have a nice little package of round comb. I think it would sell well or make a good gift. Better Bee has a nice video on their UA-cam page that shows the process. ua-cam.com/video/CyM0eavQz-E/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared At this point the only downside I see is you have to purchase the rings and covers from Ross. But they are pretty inexpensive so it doesn't add much to your cost to make the comb. Like I said we will do an update video as we progress through the honey flow and pulling the box to show it worked for us. Thank you for watching and please share with your friends and fellow bee keepers. God Bless.

@@SolitudeAcres Looking forward to a follow up video. My suspicion is that the bees won't complete some of the rounds. Just an opinion though, having never used them.

@@BellsBees There's always that chance I've seen where people have 80 percent of all round full and capped. But Bee are going to do what they want I guess. Thanks again for your insight.

We made our own sugar patties. There a little pollen substitute in it as well as some honey bee healthy and honey bee healthy aminos. They are pretty simple to make.

We have another video on how the make them. I have also made pollen patties as well.

@@SolitudeAcres very cool!

If you send a your email address we will send it over to Karen at Bee and Comb and im sure he will get in touch with you.
