#bees #beekeeping #honeybee Winter is coming. Our bees may not be headed for an epic battle against white walkers, but the winter months are a terrifying prospect in their own right. Fortunately, honeybees are excellent planners; they have been preparing for this since the end of last winter! The colony’s life cycle revolves around two things: swarming (to spread their genetics) and stockpiling...

Hi there. . . Another Frame 'use' over and above to what the "Hopkins Method" does ! (1900's ?) Hopkins found if a 'Frame of x1 Day Larva (in a Frame) placed in a 'Holding Shim' and this was "added" Flat above the Bees, they would "Draw down Queen Cells" ! This was done before Grafting became the preferred method. Interesting ! Your Frame holder reminded me of the above Setup. . .😉 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2024 (!) 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Ps. Which Video has your 'DIY' Bee 'Tonic' / like Hive Alive, Bee Boost etc. . . Was watching your Queen Rearing Series : couldnt find the final 'Fourth Episode.' (?) Think a Video mention DIY Pollen Patties and showed them being made. But that Boost Feed Soloution (??) Hope you can advise. Saying Hello from a Cold Icey Scotland ! 🏴 On New Years Eve ! Hogmanay as we call it here (31st Dec !) 🥳
That hive is going to be a monster, how much honey did you get from it"? I use the vino farm frames and other than you cant spin them I love em, I, similar to you am homogenizing all my gear to these longer frames. Hope you had a great year
I stayed at Beach in 2021, I miss it so much. I can't wait to go back and swim with the sea turtles. This video brought back many happy memories. Thank you.
My favourite place to visit
That was very simple to understand but my mini mating nuc has only 2 frames not 3 as yours so how many cup of bees should I drop?
Hi my friend I m in New Jersey USA I m in second year beekeeper Is happening last year and is happening this year two The bees leave the hive in December The hive full with honey The bees left Question is why?
It is absconding. Mostly because of high Mite loads.
Neat feeding 😋
Beautiful.
Very beautiful
WOW! I know it's healthy but what about all that salt! Blood pressure just went up 20 points! OUCH
Beautiful Experience for y'all!!!! Thank you for sharing :)
You are welcome 😊
We had a foreign exchange student from montenegro and went to visit. A nice experience. They took us to Bosnia and we took a bus ride to Croatia.
It’s a beautiful place and the people are very friendly!
What a great tour! Looks like an amazing trip! Can’t wait to see where the weekend takes you
We had a blast, and hope you enjoyed the scenery!
Hi. I was wondering if you had a picture of the lubricants for the lift system? & what you used to spray it?! Thanks
Thank you
You are welcome
Love the videos of the night life!
Thank you 🐝
What model of hive tool is that?
Got it from ManLake
Thank you, I’ll be there in two weeks…. So beautiful hotel.
Yes very beautiful resort. Love the beach
W O W!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your guys' experience !!!
You are welcome 😊
That has got to be absolutely delicious! We are definitely pulling this recipe. It's funny how most people don't know how delicious northern pike is. Thank you so much for posting.
You are welcome. Our whole family loves to eat northern pike as long as y bones are out 😄
Thanks from Israel. We loved it
Looking good. That 2nd hive had more brood than I was expecting. More Italian stock?? Just hasn't been cold enough to shut them down completely,
Yes it looks like more Italian genes. This crazy warm weather sometimes delays things but winter is coming soon
There's a say here in Croatia.. "We make honey on honey"...( med se pravi na medu). But I guess they don't believe in that over there.. they make it all on sugar. And than they wonder why they always have problems.. if you treat them like chickens you'll have chickens. It's not natural for bees to have something out of the comb or frames on top. It just makes them work trying to fix the spill or remove the problem. People don't understand that. I call it 'chickenization'.. tried to explain it many times but nobody wants to listen. They just want to feed all the time and watch slabs of brood (varroa) even in winter. That hive of yours is fantastic !
I am all about feeding and helping bees if they are low on stores. But I am completely against treating all the hives the same. Another thing you are introducing moisture this time of the year with all the sugar syrup and right now is that sugar is very expensive. Why spend extra money if you don't need to. Bees know best, but if you do everything on time and let them prepare themselves, there is nothing to worry about and no need for extra work and expenses for "insurance." Sometimes, I just don't get it
Agreed. Earlier in the year, I had to pull a few deep frames of capped honey from one of my hives because it was becoming honey bound. I extracted the honey and returned the frames of empty comb back into the hive. Rather than use that honey for myself, I stored it and then used it to feed my hives a few weeks ago for winter stores preparation. I completely stopped using sugar feeding 2 years ago.
@@Mears4Liberty there can always be a bad year, drought in my parts... but as he said you feed on time.. 1/1 to let them work on that syrup and ad to it , transform it into real bee food. There's no reason for it to be an emergency food put now with all the moisture and that will make them produce more brood of short living bees. There is time to do everything... l think that people just don't understand how bees work..
It is always easy to remove few frames and add empty drawn comb if there is a fall flow. You can use that honey later to feed bees or add to your splits no problem
Do you use oxillic acid pre winter?
Yes I do usually mid to late November whenever bees are completely broodless.
Winter is coming. reduce the entrances if you haven't already. If your reducer is made of wood, keep in mind, a determined mouse can chew the small hole open overnight. Add tin sheeting over the wood, or even hardware cloth to prevent it (cutting a hole in the screen as large as the hole in the reducer.) Add your emergency food sources if you use them: candy boards, winter patties, mountain camp feed, etc. Do not feed sugar syrup in cold weather as the bees cannot get rid of extra moisture and can lead to dysentery. Tip hives forward with a shim so water and snow can run outward. When providing wind-breaks, do not shade the hive. Sunlight is your friend and wind is the enemy. Now is the time to wrap if you need too with tar paper or other dark heat-absorbing materials. They will absorb heat during the day, and make the nights a little more tolerable.

Fascinating!!! Thank you and Family for ALL you do Keeping Bees for Future Generations #BigPicture #HealthyBees #HealthyLand
You are very welcome we really appreciate it 😊
Almost Honey Bee Bedtime. Thanks for sharing, Blessed Days...
Thank you 🐝
I have to move my bees to 1470 km pls made a video about it 😊
Tako to ide.. dobro su jake . Bile bi dobre za bršljan i Vrijes što sad ide vamo na jugu kod nas. Bilo je kiša moglo bi bit vrijesa. Inače je bio dosta suše kod nekih. Pozdrav
Ova zadnja 4 videa su snimljena pocetkom Augusta. Sada je situacija malo drugacija sto se tice legla. Kod nas je bila susa prosle godine katastrofa ali ova godina je ok. Pozdrav za i za vas svako dobro 🐝
In Canada as the queen laying slows down we back fill the brood area with sugar but my bees are locked in there bock for 5 months of the year at -20 to -30 winters 😅first frost last Night
It gets pretty cold here in Iowa but nothing compared to Canada. This video is made first week of August. Right now queens are reducing Brood and bees are preparing for the winter. Wish you good overwintering with your bees🐝
@@silverlakeadventure yes mine are now too they are slowing down they will shut down around mid October hear I hope you all the best this winter to man stay safe 🐝
Doubles are better then singles
The reason I make these videos is so people can see different Configurations and decide what works best for them. All these configurations have their advantages and disadvantages. Thank you 🐝
Have you ever had queens get up Through your excluders ?
Yes many times. I also had two laying queens. One below and one above the Excluder
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome 🐝
At 3:09 I see a couple of queen cells almost fully drawn. Were those old ones or supercedure cells? That deep was packed with honey and they sure makes a person grunt. I'm a whimp so I use mediums. LOL
Good catch Russell. I believe these were old supercedure cells. This video and last three videos were filmed first week of August. Since then I checked all the hives for laying queen and Brood. Those videos are coming soon. I did find a few queenless hives that I combined. I have made worse grunts off camera with these deep supers 😄
I'm all bee'd out for a few weeks, i'll come back and watch some more during the winter when i'm assembling boxes and frames.. I really enjoy seeing you work. It's lots more fun than doing it myself.
Thank you very much. We are glad you are enjoying our videos. Wish you all the best 🐝
Nice frames of Honey.👍She is contracting her brood nest real well for Winter.😁Looks good.
Yes everything looks good so far. I am glad I don't have to feed. Sugar is very expensive nowadays 🐝
Nice video, thanks. Have you thought for a triple deep: top for the honey and the two below for brood and polen?
We have a very cold winter. Like to have smaller more compact place for them to overwinter. As far as food they have plenty
Maybe you could make a triple deep frame! That would be something
Thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome 🐝
What kinda of mite strips do you use
Apivar
Thank you for the recipe God bless 🩵
You are welcome 😊
Just done exactly the same here in Nottinghamshire in the uk. What temperature is it there? Here it's only around 65/70 so I fine heating my supers up in my garage and extracting about 80/85 makes everything spin out much easier.
This video was filmed first week of August. It was a lot hotter than now. My videos are sometimes couple weeks behind 🐝
I dont like videos with loud music, much prefer the voice of the person explaining what they are doing
That was awesome seeing the visitor on the camera! Bye Bee!!! #thankyouforsharingthis #HoneyProductionProcess
Yes that was perfect 🐝 came to say hi 👋
2nd year bee keeper, Awesome video and the 🍄 smoker. Got my hive beside my 2 gardens
That's awesome good luck
Sabe cual hotel esta mejor barcelo o sandos playacar en comida y playa
Wish I could add a video of my t shirt on my patio chair which is covered in bees
Call a local beekeeper to pick them up
@@silverlakeadventure no one came . The hive died out . They swarmed into a tree and stayed there
WARNING: I made the mason jar feeder with the T shirt skirt yesterday . I used an old t shirt I used for sleeping in. Later in the afternoon every time I walked outside I was followed by bees which has never happened before . I thought I had sugar water residue on my hands or hair. I showered and changed. The feed continued to follow me. They kept coming in the house . I put the sugar away and cleaned all the counters . This morning they were following me around again outside and kept coming in the house and buzzing around the windows if I stood near an open screen. I wondered if they had picked up my pheromones from my old shirt . So I threw the shirt I had slept in outside in my patio . Scout bees have been trying to feed off that dry t shirt on a chair all day. They are hovering at my back patio door and try come in the house as soon as I get close to the door. I have created a nightmare of bee attraction by using a T shirt o had recently worn!! Word of advise - use a new t shirt or one no one in your household as worn. I did not realize how much they would imprint on the scent in the feeder shirt.
Needs to be almost twice as much honey or you would be better splitting into 2 separate hives.
The weather looks perfect! I’ve never seen double deep frames before. Interesting.
Yes the weather is very nice. I have few double deep hives just for comparison. Thank you
Thank you for the lovely video. Beautiful resort. How was the food there, and is there any coffee shop. Thank you 😊
To be honest, food options were not that great. I would say food was average at best. Tried Mexican, Spanish restaurant, pretty much the same as the buffet food. The lunch restaurant by the pool had the same exact food every day, I would say the same leftover buffet food. There is espresso coffee and shop by the lobby.
@@silverlakeadventure . Thank you so much
@@silverlakeadventure i agree on the food. have been there 4 times. going for a 5 th ..lol. went to the steak rest. and ordered an appetizer plate. it was exactly the same food from strikers!! paid a few extra bucks and went to the palace buffet... O,M.G WHAT A DIFFERENCE. DRINKS AND FOOD WAS MUCH BETTER . great video by the way!!!!!!!
