Custom Cushions & Bunk Bed Setup | Upgrading the 1977 Boler Camper Trailer Interior!
i had a weird experience the other day. At 7or 8 in the morning, I noticed something strange going on around one hive, I thought that maybe they were swarming. I sat down in my usual chair, about 20' away to watch. Then, one by one, I started getting harassed by bees, which they never do at that spot. Then I started thinking that maybe they were getting robbed, although I didn't think that the flight pattern in front of the hive looked like robbing- you know, that zig-zag aggressive flying in front of the hive? Anyhow, after getting stung 3 times in the head, I hightailed it out of there, grabbed a veil, and slapped an entrance reducer on just that one hive. Awhile later, everything seemed back to normal, and no more pissed off bees, looking for trouble. I guess it was robbing.....?
Very interesting! I still have yet to dig into this hive and see what is really going on.
Planet Claire has pink hair... all the trees are red Some say she's from Mars Or one of the seven stars ...
❤️❤️
It works 😆🐸🍺🔪🔥
Does the job, saves power too
Take care and better luck next time .
Thank you! ❤️
No smoke?🐸🍺🔪🔥
My smoker broke!
The honey womt mix as honey is water soluble
liked the 'red green ' chainsaw background noise... check out Cera-ve lotion with salisylic acid [aspirin] in it for the stings. seems to work good with mosquito bites too...
Smokers are your friend.
They sure are!
The good old pyrex before the upper and lower case p changed now its not even borosilicate
It’s pretty vintage
Id love to have you as a neighbor itd be so entertaining
My neighbours think I’m annoying! LOL
@BeesBikinis mine probably think the same but hey thats not who owns the property or who i pay taxes to :)
@@Josk97 that’s right, you got it
DO NOT PUT IT IN MICROWAVE. YUCK 🤮
Agree, I double boil it now :)
how did you get your wax ready before using to make lip balm
She microwaved the hell out of it 😅 thats how. Would not recommend microwave, rather create a double boiler with a Pyrex and pan or two pans.
In this video i microwaved it, but i have an old crockpot i use to melt wax.
You didn’t show when you added the honey. Did it settle at the bottom?
In the last few it did yes
Bees are looking good. Way to pick things back. It’s been an awesome summer. Glad your eye is okay 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Thanks 👍
good luck with the new-bees... that load of bee paraphernalia on the golf cart looks unsafe at any speed! 1:56 is there a roof rack in the future for your golf cart...?
Hahahaha! I should get a little trailer at least!
👍
🫠
The volume is so low I can barely hear you. Hope you're not becoming allergic to them. Thanks Lizzy!
Sorry about that. I keep forgetting to turn my mic towards me on that little camera. I don’t think I am, just a sensitive spot.
🤣Look at that cart👍lucky ya did have to turn quick.
I did lose a few things on the drive
Nice new boxes of bees, that'll get your Apiary back rolling. Ya Eye area stings are no fun.👍Blessed Days...
Thanks 👍
First!
🤭✌🏻
We just went camping for my daughter’s 16 birthday. Was rainy and super fun. Tired and back at work now 😆🐸🍺🔪🔥
That is awesome! Wish her a happy birthday for me! Glad you made the best of it.
Fuzzy dice! Bongos in the back ? FZ reference.... Wow! .... the sunset! Bugs not bad apparently? Trailer hitch issue was a drag but worked out... Ever so slightly off topic: my sister gave me a bag of clover seed for a lawn i seeded. Very bee friendly!
Oh good! LOL! Bugs weren’t bad. The bees will thank you.
Oops. Well, that didn't look very fun...
Not at all 😉
Very fun looking
Always a blast with my sisters
I would like to add castor oil to the mixture as it plumps your lips and moisturizes but I'm not sure how much to use. I think it would be too much to use in equal parts with the coconut oil but maybe 10 drops like the peppermint/eucalyptus oil would be okay, what do you think?
Great ideas, we will have to experiment for the next time!
We're restoring a '78 Scamp and have finally gotten to the point where I can think about making curtains. I love your vintage, cheerful fabrics. So glad I found you on YT!
@@projectrainbowscamp1996 awesome! Good luck and let me know if you need any help!
Umm, uhhh
Yesssss
Two bathing beauties.
With tough Canadian skin
Did you use screws, rivets, or bolts to secure the vent?
Screws for the vent and rivets for the trim cover piece on the inside.
Microwaving your products changes and damages the constituents, vitamins and minerals. Double boiler method is best .
Good idea, thank you.
Can I get a full recipes with amounts of ingredients plz. They are too cute.
The moose was cool! It been in the middle 90’s Fahrenheit here for over 2 weeks already. I did a double cutout over the past 2 days after we put up 49 feet of scaffolding to reach them. I’m very tired this evening. Thanks Lizzy!
Holy! Where were they?
@@BeesBikinis They were in a roof soffit 3 floors up. Crazy!
Moose ciiiiiity! Cool you brought busy bee along. What a beautiful location. I’ve got the travel bug and can’t go cause of my work. I’m goal oriented. My whole family is on a road trip right now without me 😔🐸🍺🔪🔥
Oh that sucks!! Hope you get out there soon.
Hope you guys have a great time.
Always do!
Nice! I've been to that burger/fry wagon too! Got my first ever smash burger from there.
So good!
Moose and squirrel have left building Boris....
🤣
Love camping. Been too long.
Same
Better go then!
Get out there!
are you selling honey as well ?
Once I have some, absolutely
That always hurts.... Bummer.
It sucks, that’s for sure! 😢
@@BeesBikinis I don't know in your neck of the woods...but put some swarm traps up. It's earlier enough to catch plenty. Randomly placed boxes I catch about 1/3...so, git to putt'n up traps and you'll catch some!
Sorry you lost your hives. If you were closer I would give you all the colonies you want. I’m well over 100 and climbing with the cutouts and swarms. The new configuration will work much better. Thanks Lizzy!
Holy moly!! Do you bee keep in a bikini with that many hives?
@@BeesBikinis That's your job!!! LOL!!!
Happy to see you're not giving up, got the grant, and are getting some more hives!
Thanks Matty
No screen bottom boards. What my hive would look like if I lived in Canada where you live. I would insulate the top, sides and bottom with at a minimum R5. That's 1in foam board. They are not Native to North America and the religions they are from are not cold, it is warm. You need to take that into consideration when keeping them. Same with Plants. If you want to grow Tropical Anything help them out with temperature to be successful. In August of last year I have around 125 to 130 hives. In October, after my winter splits, I had 170. I treated them twice with 4 grams per hive. I came out of winter with 140 couple. I insulate the top in my area's. In my opinion I came out of winter at 110% survival rate. Meaning I gained Bees. I HAD 0% loss. say what you want but, Bees are like people, they are resilient. But we all have our limits. They can build them up but it takes Years. Genetic aren't changed in a year, it takes time. Mites are the cause of most of the loss in bee colonies but you don't have to Throw the Kitchen sink at them to get them to survive the winter no matter where you put them. start thinking about how they survive Naturally, without Your supposed help. They can do some things on their own but Natural treatments, OAV. I have found have helped me keep my bees happy and thriving. Sorry your girls didn't make it. Wishing you the best with these hives. Wish I could come up there and help you.
Yes, my first time in 8 years with such a tragic loss. I normally lose 1, and know it in the fall. Hopefully all is well this winter. Got all my treatments in order and ready. Thanks for the advice!
Moisture and mites are your enemy.
#1 killers!
We are very sorry to hear this. You have a plan so good luck in the future eh?
Thank you ❤️🌺🐝
A combination of wet and cold is a major obstacle for honey bees, spring can be harder on bees then winter sometimes. It sounds like you have come up with a plan and are and the bees are going to build back up for a great season. I think your new layout is going to work much better for you, it's give you a better working environment and focus the honey bees pathing better for ya. Blessed Days...
Very true! Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully it will make me a better beekeeper in the end.
Colony collapse .sorry to hear I lost my two hives years ago ..I am proud that you are not giving up it seems like this is happening all over the place
Yes, that’s why they are offering this grant to beekeepers.
😢
🐝😢☀️❤️😘
Can’t wait till it is December again 🐸🍺🔪🔥
I can wait! LOL
But but ...its summer!
Yes, I'm a little behind, as you can see! Up to date videos coming soon!
👋 listening while doing house work.
I'm happy you're listening!
