Overwintering Honey Bees in Alaska
This video details the research based methods and gear that helped me overwinter over 80% of my colonies in the last two years, and over 70% since 2018.
I practice and promote sustainable beekeeping in Alaska. I haven't bought bees in 4 years. I make my own queens, and make splits to increase my apiary. Keeping bees sustainably is possible for all backyard beekeepers; this is how I do it.
