    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.

    • @beesintheweeds
      @beesintheweeds 11 годин тому

      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!

    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!

    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 .🤦🤦.

    • @beesintheweeds
      @beesintheweeds 3 дні тому

      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.
