1st.................... increase speed to 1.5. Just got a combo, suit, gloves, Boardman feeder, hive tool and book. FREE SHIPPED I needed 2x ordered 3x advise all to order 'up' one size. And if you have ZZTop beard, ponytail that thing................ Zippers.

For a bee that can't make up it's mind, I guessed, "in-bee-cisive."

Did you say dad jokes or bad jokes 😅😅😅

No Disrespect, Autumn is FAV !

Hi Nikki, Ray and Bryan when should I start feeding for winter

How much of a colony is lost to cold weather on a given year in America? Do you guys prescribe Northern facing hedges to the colonies? Like bamboo

I'm getting pumped up I probably won't even sleep tonight

Just imagine when we start building freeform Adobe Garden walls and we put the beehives right there in the greenhouse and then the Adobe walls it's going to be crazy. Then like our polish ancestors we will start doing polish notches polish dugouts and house the bees directly in the posts that are holding up the Garden Wall also.

If I raised bees just for myself and produced honey I would likely be raising Caucasians as I truly like the Caucasian honey bee, However, I raise bees to sell and for politicization, therefore I raise Cordovan Italians as they raise more brood earlier and later in the year. earlier

I had an Italian hive. That thing was so aggressive, I had to kill the entire hive, after trying re-queen them. I have a Russian hive and they are gentle compared to that Italian hive.

we seem to have bees in an outlet box (gang box) that we installed when we built our house but never got the deck built. the outlets are 3 stories off the ground. I baited a previously used hive box with swarm commander and it drew in quite a few bees that I think may have come from the outlet box.. If I were to install one of these on the siding, covering the outlet box securely - would you thing it might work to draw them out?

Thats interesting because I have some insulated hives and they are booming. Nuc boxes have foam board under the top cover and those don't suffer from the summer heat.. I even made some winter wraps with a moving blanket and black plastic, the freezing wind did not affect the colony the same as an unprotected hive body.

No water close by. I put out a chicken waterer with rocks and they were not interested. I did have 1:1 on at the same time.

Upchuck cooling...😂

They are super and the best they can handle varroa with out medical treatment.

It's hard to wait for the warmer weather 😮 all your video tips get me all excited 😢

How many pounds of sugar would that end up being after the first year? 🤔

Interesting chain of events! 😊

Love your shirt. Fellow Oklahoman here

Much Gratitude for this informative video!!! ❤🐝

When is the best time to add a queen excluder before adding a super on an 8 frame hive. We are in northern Pa. and the weather has been wet and sometimes cool. Bees arrived May 2. Thanks, Buck Biondo

Do you use VHS queen and if so do you see a difference in the mite level

This is Don from MO. I have a small hive beetle problem. I have installed "beetle jails" but seem to have more hive beetles than I prefer to see. What should I do in addition to the traps to combat this problem?

Why are there so many drones when a swarm leaves a hive? This is with the original mated. Queen.

Got my bees only 10% ded when i got then thay were littel more agresiv then i Imagine, but I think there are 3 queens in that package. That clump in 3 different columns. And we're a fight in each other. So I lost about 60% during the fight, but now they're doing good.

Hi Ray, Mason Dixon Line is actually near the southern border of PA-northern border of Maryland. Love the show! Jim-Florence, SC

Hey

Not sure what Carnis you have, but my Carnis are more gentle than the yellows I have.

I got about 35% of the bees in my hive the rest just stayed put now its to cold hope my have dont die it got to 60 when o put it in to have but lot came back out and stayed on ground

We received our package yesterday morning and have been so excited to have them here on our little homestead. ❤

I have been wanting to get into bee keeping for years, but I would need to move to a rural area to do it. I don't believe my neighbors would appreciate it if I kept a bee hive in my yard. Bees don't scare me like they do most people, but then again neither do rattlesnakes which I used to catch and relocate. Right now I am getting aa much information about bee keeping for when I will be able to own them in a rural area. I was wondering if we had a citrus orchard or planted specific plants is there a way to get them to make honey with a specific tree or crop/plant? I have seen on tv how some orchards use honey bees to pollinate their crops for larger yields. This is what I would want to do, but also to see what the honey teste like with different types of nectar they use. Anyone ever tried honeysuckle for the bees to use for making honey. The honeysuckle taste great (nectar from the plant)?

This is an amazingly ironic post from a company who charges for the most expensive shipping method then ships the slowest possible, killing thousands of packages each year.

Tap it and shake them in is faster, but you did a good job.

How often do I need to keep checking my new bee hive that I just put in a package of bee's in.

I don’t find mine to be aggressive

Living In Alaska. We are in year 3 with the same carniolian queen. I swear by these bees. They are fantastic.

Inside warehouse for winter storage? 🐝🐝

I bought 2 nucs, 2 queens, of a crossbreed of carniolan /Italian ....designed for Pennsylvanian climate. They seem real gentle, and I have noted they do work of overcast days. I see them coming back with pollen.

who is the president of the company? I need to write them a letter about my recent customer experience. I am unsure if I will ever do business with Mountain Sweet again.

Thank you. You never mentioned what changed, what was different there before?

Would have been nice if you answered the question that is the title.

You guys rock I received three packages on 3/29/2024 they were in transit for close to five days. They went skiing in Denver for a day in transit I'm in NM. A good friend that works at ups notified me at 7:30 am. Nice packages about 3/4 of a cup of dead bees in each package.Thanks!

So excited, they arrived and in their new home! Thankyou for explicit instructions! So EZY!!!!

I bought my bees and several pieces of equipment from them and have never been disappoint or ripped off.

I have a question about this 🙋‍♀️ I used the ceracell feeder over the winter, as we were on vacation. When I returned and checked on the bees, there was an incredible amount of mold in the feeder, and the top cover, and also ants floating in the sugar water. How can this be prevented?

Free Bees

I received two packages of bees in early march one were in laying and doing well the other hive shows no sign of the queen any thoughts?

Nosema is caused by an amoeba (a protozoa). It is often treated prophylactically with fumagillin antibiotic in syrup.

This sounds expensive one pound a day?

This last week. With a light hive one hive ate a half gallon in 6 days. As for the flow... we already had a large flow this year. Then a cold snap stalled it. Now we have a solid wild flower flow. Cabbage palm and palmetto are blooming from Melbourne to Brooksville. This has been our best spring in 3 years with no drought this year. Our cold snap of 36 stopped most of tue flow cold. Had a lot of issues with a hearty hive amd suddenly no food. We had loads of pollen 6 weeks ago. Anything south of Orlando will have a flow all winter of some kind. Only in July through September are we totally devoid of bee food. Tampa already has palmetto honey from this year available.
