@@Highland_Honey let me know how they work. Are they both wax AND copper dipped?

@JoneyJefe Yes, can't wait to try them. I also bought a couple of the wax-dipped Propola boxes. Looking forward to seeing how they compare.

We also got the copper dipped and propola boxes, eager to try them out. It was our first expo but we learned quick that the expo is the place to stock up!!

I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

@@Panelman-wx8fo weren’t they great?

@@TheHomesteadingAvenger it was a ton of fun

@@bj8342 excellent idea. I do kind of worry about being to obvious when others are in the videos without me asking first.

Wanted to add another thank you for that pro tip!! I do appreciate that. And I can see how it would make a difference!!

I’d love to have one of those. 😊

@@dcsblessedbees you should attend!

@@dcsblessedbees thank you

@@johnboybane778 ♥️

Yeah? It’s pretty simple. I’d recommend 4x4’s instead of 2x4’s though.

@@g8rgrl13 hey Andrea! I’m not sure I understand your question. You mean having some sort of tray/board set up with vegetable oil, similar to what you would put in the beetle traps? It might work if you have an easy way to contain the oil underneath the bottom board. I feel like I’ve seen a few videos like that. Or even a sticky board in place of the current board, or one that can slide right on top of it without getting stuck to it. I just happen to have DE from a few years ago that I used in other ways to try to get the SHB under control in a rather brilliantly unsuccessful manner. I bought the boards a few years ago and just now had a perfect opportunity to see how they work, which I feel they do a pretty good job. But the oil might be a better option.

@@xislomega242 that’s awesome! I hope you too will have a great day. 🐝

@@chillbutnoskill thank you for noticing. I’m a very slow learner. It took four (very different) videos to get it right. Lol

@@russellstewart2667 LOL!! Absolutely true.

@@Papa.G-0428 see?? I’m glad you also know what’s truly important in your own life.

@@barbarab.8669 regardless, we still have things that we got to do, no matter who is in office or who wins what event. 😊

Well, we all still have a job to do. You definitely are not wrong.

Truer words rarely spoken my friend.

@@alexb389 LOL!! Yes absolutely. Things that are truly important to us at a more immediate and personal level.

I am disappointed too! I am a huge fan of Iron Mike! But I gotta get back to these bees! Much love! The sun will come up again tomorrow!

It’s hard to make it look the same every time. Believe it or not, waiting for the right cloud is the most difficult.

I try. ❤

It would be a boring diet for sure.

It REALLY is!! It doesn’t help that I mumble, too. Basically I’m just testing out an idea I have for this extractor. 😂

@@Whitesmokehoney thank you!😊

Bees

@@Whitesmokehoneyyou are correct on both accounts! 😅

@@michellemchenry123 oh? I follow the Canadian beekeeper. Sounds like a different person though. I will definitely look him up and follow. Thank you so much for watching and the recommendation.

@@dcsblessedbees they seem to be. But they never seem happy to see ME. LOL

lol! I make a mess everywhere I go.

@@dcsblessedbees that’s probably the best way to watch them. I’ll learn some editing skills one day. Lol

@@dcsblessedbees thanks! I’m likely never going to use Hopguard again. I’ve lost several hives immediately after using. Oxalic acid, never had that issue.

@@dcsblessedbees it’s a good time of year. Big swings in temp though. We JUST got down below 85 to use the Formic acid. But it’s about to be below 50 in a few weeks. It’s like the window of opportunity to use it is very narrow. Lol

@@g8rgrl13 they’ll have honey in the deep boxes. That’s the plan. What actually happens when I get there may change. Historically, I’ll see how the majority of the frames are in the super. If it’s just empty comb by the time I want to harvest, I’ll pull the whole box. If it’s majority capped honey, I pull it. If it’s a lot of nectar, and very little capped honey, I leave it over winter. My rationale is that if the majority of frames are empty comb in a super by the time I pull (October/Nov), it is just more empty space the bees can’t properly guard. I may be wrong. They likely aren’t going to fill it and cap it in time. Frames (majority) of capped honey in the super are why I got into beekeeping. I LOVE Fall honey. If the majority of the box is comb full of nectar, I’ll just leave it because I feel the bees may have time to cap it and use it. But I personally don’t want a full box of nectar that I have to freeze for next season. I don’t care about doing the drip or shake method to see if it’s “ready” to spin out. I just leave it or store it. Now it also depends on how the brood boxes are doing. They need to have honey. I’m coming across mistakes of my past practices lately and seeing why some details are important. For example, finding 2-4 frames of just foundation in the bottom box on the edges and nearly the same on the top. Would explain why my bees starve out over winter because I did harvest the top honey supers without ensuring the frames on the bottom were appropriately filled with comb/honey to survive. Also, it’s easier just to take an entire super than trying to piecemeal these frames and those frames from that hive here and that hive there. But sometimes your box of empty comb may have one frame of nectar while another box on a hive has 6 frames of nectar. So in those cases, if you catch them, I’d add the nectar from one to the other. It’s all about timing and knowing what you’re doing. And I’m all about bad timing and not knowing what I’m doing while simultaneously being willing to broadcast it on UA-cam.

@@JoneyJefeI was kind of nervous to take any fall honey, but I guess if you do you just feed like crazy before winter hits…

@@g8rgrl13 yeah. All that typing I did. I add pro winter once I’m done with supers and treating for mites.

@@dcsblessedbees Ian is an awesome beek and friend.
