Did you ever try this?

@@luckysavagetv4356 I did but haven't had them in the freezer long enough to know. ate a chicken that was in the freezer for about 6 weeks that was good Also couldn't get the whole chicken in the zip lock bag had to cut in half

Same thing happen to me!!! I curse the day I bought that morning glory seed packet 20 + years ago!!

Thank you!! Weather was very cold and rainy for a long time. However, winter was not as harsh as it was in past few years. I am finally getting around to working on another video soon! I love doing this but try and prioritize family time and things have been busy! You are so kind always. We are doing well just busy with sports etc. Hope you are doing well too! ♥

Thank you!!

Thanks!!

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

thank you!!

Thank you Cynthia!

Thanks Sarah!

Thanks so much Ms. Ellen!

Thanks Sarah! I love the positivity! Yeah even though I am easily always cold mother nature has been kind to us this winter. Helps for sure!

I appreciate it!! Counting down the days until spring so I can use this beauty! LOL

I appreciate that! Thank you Sarah!

Thank you!

Thank you! That's great to hear I appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes! Thank you! Yeah this is taking awhile but with life and kids we are doing best we can. Will be worth it for sure!

Thank you!

Thank you we appreciate it!

Really appreciate it! Thank you. Ha the boys thought they caught one over night and it somehow got out because their sticks were knocked over the next day. Never a dull moment!

Really appreciate the kind words. Those frames of comb will certainly help jump start the new bees we get next spring. Have high hopes for next years bee journey! It's incredible how much you learn from the first year beekeeping. Have so much respect for those little creatures.

Thank you. Could be true. But strangely enough the first hive that we found all dead had no mites from a recent sugar roll test.

are yellow jackets like a type of wasp?

@@theorganised_farmgal Thank you I really appreciate it! Bees are complex little creatures but they are mostly self sufficient. It seems overwhelming but with a good mentor you can pick it up quickly and find out they really don't need your help that much. And yes yellow jackets are a nasty wasp. They are predatory and attack honey bees.

@@keepinitfarmy7298 There's a lovely Australian homesteading couple @Diane and Samson who keep bees so I've also been watching all of their videos

@@theorganised_farmgal Will have to check them out! Thank you!

Thank you really appreciate it! I wish we were able to salvage some bees but unfortunately we lost both boxes at once. Would have loved to be able to perform a split. There's always next year! Our mentor said you're not true beekeeper until you lost all your hives and still want to keep going. Definitely a let down for end of season but we won't give up.

You just might be right. Next year we plan on treating in warmer weather for sure.

No we didn't treat in the summer. We did a sugar roll test later in summer learning from our mentor and found one box mite free and the other with a few. The box that was mite free died shortly into the cold season quickly so we are thinking it may have been a chemical kill. Not 100% certain.

If you have a alfalfa field close by a farmer could have sprayed for weavels. If so next year when the farmer sprays you can shut your bees in for a day. It kinda late for that tho. Sucks bee keeping is a big investment just to lose the most important part at the end of the season. I kept feeders on all the way until it started hitting freezing temps for a few hours for a week straight. So definitely doubt it was feeders. I would be curious about a heavy pesticide kill like that and the health of the comb. They say wax can absorb chemicals. Some pesticides may just fade away I'm really not sure. Ask your mentor, ask around.

Thank you!

Thank you. Really appreciate that. We are looking forward to the spring time to give it another go.

Thank you Cynthia. Truly means a lot. I had a bad case of pneumonia and was told I am lucky to be alive. Jeff was amazing during that time helping out. We were so bummed about the bees but are really looking forward to the spring season. We have grown a newfound respect for beekeepers!

@@keepinitfarmy7298 Pneumonia is nothing to mess around with. Back in 2018 I ended up with Pneumonia in both lungs plus a collapsed lung. I almost died. 2 months later I was back in the hospital with Pneumonia. Since I get Pneumonia so easily my lungs are so scared I have to be on O2 24/7. I am Glad you are doing better. Jeff is amazing and so are you my friend. TFS! Blessings to you and your family!🕊✝🙏🏼💖

Off camera we did. We went through each frame and set them in our chest freezer for a few days to kill any wax moths or hive beetles. Fortunately, we have a bunch of frames ready for spring that have drawn comb. Will give them a great head start.
