Bees in the Weeds
Приєднався 19 чер 2022
Hello and welcome to the Bees in the Weeds channel! My name is Josh and I am a small, backyard beekeeper in Kentucky who enjoys working with these amazing little insects. This channel is intended to be a source of information and education for those looking to venture into the wonderful art and science of keeping bees. I believe it is extremely important to help our pollinators to the best of our ability as they are vital and critical to our food source. An engineer by trade, I thoroughly enjoy the science and problem solving aspect of beekeeping. Please join me as we explore and learn together. I’m so grateful you are here! Cheers! 🐝🍯😎

What Does A Honeybee Swarm Look Like?

What Does A Honeybee Swarm Look Like?
All of your problems are connected. You have a problem of overcrowding in your hives which is causing the hives to be too hot and there are not enough resources for your bees. They are bearding and absconding because they have nothing to eat and they are too. To fix this, put a Queen excluder, add a medium super, for boxes with brood move the brood to the super and backfill the bottom box with foundation. Then feed 1:1 and add a pollen patty. Do this in all your hives and you will be fine.
With all due respect, I disagree. This particular hive has been an anomaly. I have many other hives that do very well. And I do have supers on the colonies during a flow. Yes, by running single brood management my colonies do tend to fill up and are more likely to swarm. I do not have absconding issues. In this case, there was still a colony in the hive too. Thanks for watching and have a merry Christmas! Cheers!
Gotta rub the entrance and see if it's sticky.
Merry Christmas and happy new years Josh see you at NAHBE.
Merry Christmas to you too! Hope to see you there!
The wild is whipping here, bee's are staying inside. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Angela!!!
THE bees need food fella. Feed them with honey that you took to much off fella.
@@victoryfirst2878The bees have plenty of food. I weighed the hives before going in to winter to ensure proper weight. Each hive also has a 5 lb patty of Hive Alive fondant on top.
@@beesintheweeds Then the bees came out thinking winter weather finally ended.
Merry Christmas and happy new years to yall!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! 🎄

Last minute Christmas shopping
Hi Josh, I’m at awe for the price you paid! These literally between $4-$6 a piece! Totaling at Most $30; Buy wood, and do yourself! I used this setup last season. I made 10 batches like that, and it was nothing but success! Only hiccup, my divider was not tight enough so bees were crossing over and killed the queen. What else I did, I watched M. Palmer several times, and made diagram drawing, which frame goes where and when. Very important! Over all, good luck! You’re on a right path!
I agree that DIY is an option, but not something I was interested in building for this particular resource setup. It's always great to hear from other beekeepers, thanks for the tips! Cheers and happy beeking!
4-6 each ? I’m calling BS.
@@handsburyhoneybees893 call it all you want! One brood box uses 6’ of wood; Wood I got 50c a foot, can you do the math? This year my wood is $.75, so one box is $4.5;
@ a 1x12x8 #2 is around 18.00
You talking about the hard sugar damaging the bees an not being able to go out next year when the flow hits to go get nectar. The winter bees will not be alive then or IF IF so not for long .🤦🤦.
Actually the winter bees live for several months and are the FIRST foragers that leave when spring first begins. So no, they aren’t dead. And peak starvation is in February when these bees would typically emerge. The ability to find food and bring it back is most critical at this time.
Just got my lyson creamer attachment. It goes on my jacketed botteler. Do you heat it up? Also have you adding a berry/ flavors? Anys Suggestions esp for moisture?
My creamer is not heated. I have no added flavors yet but stay tuned for a future video mid-next year. I have not experienced any moisture issues.
