Thanks 👍

The hive clips… they come standard with the Lyson Hives and are really quite nice

Thanks and welcome! It really is a fun challenge to try and make the connections between the creator and His creations!

We aren’t

@@willowbrookfarms Thanks! :)

Thank you! You too!

Thanks for watching, commenting and interacting! How many years have you kept bees?

Thanks for the view

Thank you headed back to the bee yard to check another five hives. See if they have queens.!

Thank you! You too!

I will take that as sarcasm and that you actually love it ❤😂

@@willowbrookfarms I haven’t even watched it, lmao. Take it as you want! :) much love and sarcasm

I think this was in Kentucky near Cumberland Falls

Partially… so the apilifvar only needs to be applied to the top brood chamber, 3 of my hives are 8 frame medium equipment and therefore need 3 brood boxes. This may be what you are referring to. The distributor says not to use with honey supers on, the manufacturer says it is fine as long as you don’t harvest with in 2 weeks of last treatment… so I used without the supers

A late season swarm moved into the barn; without being moved into a hive and given a box of bee food on top they surely would starve before spring. Sometimes bees need saving from themselves, just like people sometimes need saving from themselves

My understanding is the only down side is it can force bees out of hives for a period during high temps, but doesn’t shut down laying. Last mite check had 0% mites but a week later I could see mites in the phoretic stage( riding on the backs of adult bees) so I treated

While I understand it is easy to say oh it’s mites. If you have been following along, I may have even mentioned it in this video, I just did an alcohol mite wash on my hives less than two weeks ago and had zero mites. I am seeing phoretic varroa mites because there is no brood, because the queen stopped laying, due to the queen not laying at least two workers started laying. How do I know this? By careful observation I was able to watch two workers lay eggs in different cells. When I first noticed the issue I came back a few days later and the hive was significantly decreased. While I’m open to different opinions of what May or may not be happening. The information I give out is based on observation of the actual hive as opposed to sofa quarterbacking.

Yes, when you did the wash was there capped brood? Mites love capped brood. ( Low count because of capped brood, maybe?) If no brood than the mites will find a bee, Laying workers will not lay if a Queen is present. @@willowbrookfarms

@@daisyshoney6021 I hear what you are saying, but the alcohol wash is the most effective test with or without capped brood. There are very few times in a colonies life that there is no capped brood. As far as treating- right after combining the hives they were treated with ApiLifeVar… an upcoming video goes over that process. Please subscribe and follow along. It is always good to hear others thoughts on what could be happening.

Many Beekeepers are using Dawn detergent now. Both are good @@willowbrookfarms

Perhaps… waste not want not though

Also do you think that could be why I had a queen and a working layer? Her pheromone just wasn’t strong enough anymore to suppress the workers from laying?

@@willowbrookfarms I felt like you had a drone laying queen until you said there were multiple eggs. With visible mites could you have been seeing the white remnants of mite droppings.

I’m so glad you find some solitude

I let the bees dictate what is necessary for the day. Some days they ask me to walk away, some days they “beehave” 😅

It is difficult, when working from a fixed tripod, to capture everything. Sorry I missed that part, however basically you hold the frame with nurse bees perpendicular to the ground and just run the white cup up along the frame scooping the bees off the frame while trying not to squish any

they sure are fun

Thanks! Coming from you I take it as high praise!

truly amazing

nice

Quite likely, however if the queen starts to lay( I will be checking in a day or two), I have some other hives I can add a frame or two of brood and nurse bees
