Thanks, it's an interesting hobby or business. Lots go surprises.

Thanks I'm glad you are enjoying them.

I would suggest a couple things. Join the local beekeeping club. Read beekeeping books. Beekeeping for Dummies is very helpful and covers the basics. Take a beekeeping class. Now as far as convincing your wife goes...??? Hey, thanks for the comment.

@@richardhyatt-beekeepingthank you!

Thank you, Zoey.

Thank you,

Thanks ✌

It is fun, sometimes. Work other times.

Room to add honey and sugar syrup actually while the bees get ready for winter. Brood production should slow down soon., But, yes the existing brood will emerge shortly so, there will be more bees to the colony. Thanks.

My wife says these are New England Asters. The bees love them as well as other pollinators.

Thank you, I've wondered what I sound like to others. I do enjoy the pleasantries of nature.

I think so too!

My parents managed a nursery for a little while and when they retired my dad always had flowers for church any day of the year. Snow on the ground, he would find something pretty. This garden was made by my wife. I do the honeybees.

Follow along my journey. Join a beekeeping club. Read books. All good ways to learn before doing.

Yes, it's coming on fast.

Pretty, I'll bet.

Robbing hasn't been a real issue here yet, either. But, it could be as the dearth comes on.

You mean Monsanto? No, I don't think I'll get any subsidies. But, I may get a farm tax deduction for farm expenses once I sell 10,000 worth of farm products. (bees, honey, beeswax, candles, etc.) That said I've invested far more than that and haven't recovered a tenth of it. Probably never will.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping nah, not Monsanto, I'll have to look it up on how they get money like that. But as far as getting paid, you're keeping the cycle alive.

So far they have not reached my area. It's pretty cool here in the Blue Ridge so, I'm not sure they would survive.

@@briantrobles9802 You’re welcome. Posting an update in a few minutes.

If there is a deadout the wax moths and beetles move in and destroy the comb. So, we freeze it here while the low tempertures are about 50f for now. Freezing weather starts in late October or early November. Wyoming is a tad farther north than we are. About 500 - 700 miles farther north.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping Thank you

Yes, I know that. At least I should. I was born on the summer solstice. Just got mixed up. 🙂Thanks for the comment.

Always!

You know, I've been thinking I should do that. But, I've thought just remove a few frames of bees and put them in weaker colonies. Mostly been too busy to do either. Guess I'm going to sell a lot of bees next year. Getting too old for this. Thanks Rodney.

@@rodneymiddleton9624 Did add a deep box this morning. Drawn comb. Posting a video short.

I'm thinking I'll do that tomorrow. I have plenty. Raining right now so, maybe it will be tomorrow, too. Always something! Thanks.

Thanks, I built the house 🏠 myself. My wife made the gardens. Flowers 🌸

Yes! Exactly! I realized that when I watched it as I was about to upload it. I had a choice, post it as is or reshoot it and post it tomorrow. So, I posted it and will likely replace it tomorrow. I could make excuses. But, I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear my excuses. I do plan on making a long from video doing Oxalic Acid Treatment soon. THANK YOU for your comment.

Yes, I own about 20 beehives. If you look at my UA-cam Channel you will see 439 videos of my bees.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping oh wow I will make sure to check

Most of the time I wait until it's over 50f and after 10 am. Usually, they will be out and about by then Under 50f they stay clustered in the hive. Today, I started at 9 am because I wanted all the bees to be in the hive during Oxalic Acid treatment to kill Varroa Mites, But, I was not taking the hive apart to do that.

No. May get a little in the next few days.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping That's why the leaves are turning yellow. The plants are conserving water by letting some leaves go. It's a sign of drought stress. We have that also here in the midatlantic USA.

Me too. Love all the seasons, actually. Change is good.

Yes, they are.

@@dianawatton7570 Yes, it’s a bit intimidating but, unless you’re allergic it not too hard to wear protection and avoid most stings. And, you can get used to a sting now and then.

@@landomilknhoney My wife’s the gardener, thanks.

Done it both ways. I leave a bottom board on now to catch any cappings they pull off, most of the time. This time the bees didn't go for it until I left the parts apart. Then I put them together and they are still cleaning it out today.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping I have a big plastic tote from Walmart and a couple short 2x4's in the bottom to set the box on and I don't loose the wax from them robbing it.

Thanks, may do that.

Thank you. They are almost cleaned out now. I’ve got quite a bit of drawn comb for next year, may melt some wax to sell or make some candles.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping Sounds like a plan!

Thanks. In beekeeping if someone goes wrong, you can fix it or use II for something else.

Yes, that is a good option. But, I think I'll save the frames of drawn comb to make nuc splits in the spring. Should build up and be ready to sell real quick. Pretty sure some of it will be salvage for wax products, too.🤔

Just like you and I. Hot days require more water.
