Great content sir.

I'll see you soon too. 😉

I need two suits going in my hives , I'd love some calm bees like this

Nxt year I'm thinking of keeping queen excluders on my entrances to help with swarming and just split when i need to . So any ideas for me on this idea .

I think you need leather gloves. Thin latex ones offer no protection against stings

Time for honey harvest and hive winterization. Time marches on.

I can tell that you had a strange season, because that hives does not have a lot--if you asked me--and I realize you didn't, but I wouldn't have taken anything off that hive.

Good morning Wes. I have had a few dead outs and I got some honey from them, but for the most part I fed the honey from the strong colonies to the small er colonies to provide them winter stores. I figured I only wanted to pick up 3 Layens frames full of honey, so I made a 3 frame Layens box with a lid, handles and no entrance to put my honey frames in. A swarm trap with the entrances closed also works well but can get heavy if all the frames are full. Have a great day.

We've had quite a dry spell so I'm excited to see what our girls will "gift" us Do you recommend a particular extractor? I was looking to see if you had an Amazon product listed but don't see one Thank you! Thank you for sharing!!

I can’t wait to afford a hive and TRY to catch a swarm !!

My favorite time of year! Another "off" year but at least there's enough honey to insure their survival over the winter. Let us know what you found in the remaining hives. The press has me foaming at the mouth! 🤣🐝❤

I had about the same amount of honey from my Layens hives so decided to order a box of foundation so I can add full sheets next year instead of just starter strips. Thinking if I save them the energy to make 2lbs of wax I hopefully will get 16lbs of additional honey in exchange for it. Your wilderness honey is probably even more valuable than mine so spending $10-20 on a hive for 3-6 full sheets of wax might turn into hundreds of dollars worth of additional honey.

Lets get that DEEELicous NC honey

Love the Bug Baffler suit! This was a weird season of long droughts and soaking rains here too. Nothing steady or predictable. Good to see you're still getting some honey. I left most of mine on.

Great video! I enjoyed the information! I always wondered how you know you're not pulling brood frames.

Yea buddy

Glad to hear that you and yours have been minimally impacted by the hurricane. Hoping your family is able to recover soon. Can’t wait for the honey extraction.

My favorite time of year...extraction!! 🐝🐝

Up here in NH, we have had a few frosts. Temps have dropped with highs only in the low 60s on the warm days, if that, and bees don't seem to cap anything at these temps. I pulled partial and uncapped honey frames. I was able to spin out the honey, the bees will clean the frames out when the temps warm a bit at the end of the week, and I can give the drawn comb back to the bees in the spring. Thanks for posting, peace

I do have two questions regarding the openings on Dr. Leo's hives... There are two openings, one at the bottom and one near the middle, both in the center of the box. I'm assuming that's where the brood would be, so my questions are: Do I close one of the slots and which one? And then the other question is..do we take frames from either end and leave them with the seven in the middle and just slide them over? Or how does that go? Thanks so much!

My husband was just asking me yesterday about harvesting honey and what we have to do for the fall. This being our first year with a horizontal Hive I was telling him that I'm waiting for your video to come out so I know what I'm supposed to be doing... So your timing is perfect. Thank you so much!! 😊

So glad yall are safe from this terrible storm , I know your mom from way back and have wondered how they were so you answered that / have family in SPARTA so I knew the area was spared , praying for all of western nc

I am still confused. I’m super interested in getting bees but I don’t understand what “we do”. Like, you just hang out with them and take half the honey? 🤣 What are we offering them? Whats the upside for this bee union? “Thanks for the box?”

These principals are the same throughout the entire agriculture industry. Everything is medicated, genetically modified, pesticided, we barely even have food anymore. And people still wondering why cancer is so widespread. Its getting so damn ridiculous. RFK's slogan is: Make America Healthy Again.

Lithium/quartz mine for the tech giants

It's Maui 2.0. Glad you were not in their target zone. I'm sickened with what I've been finding out. 🙏🙏

Wow I didn't know you guys got hit by that storm. Thankfully you are doing ok.

My prayers go out to all those hit with this storm.

Glad to see you're doing ok. Thanks for updating us.

Lot's of money for is rail. No money for the people.

Glad you’re okay and thanks for posting! We have several friends in Marshall and, although the town center was demolished, our people are all okay. But we know that many have died, many more missing all over.

Good to see ya buddy!

Glad you were spared the rath of the storm. Hope fall was good to your bees

Glad you’re safe.

That area got hit hard. Glad you got through it largely unscathed. God Speed.

My boy just finished the AT. His girlfriend lives in Asheville. Her whole garden washed into their house. 2 feet deep in mud. He’s over there helping out. Glad you’re ok mate.

I'm glad to hear y'all made it out with minimal damages!

Horrible what has happened to beautiful NC.

So glad y'all are ok. Prayers for those that are dealing with the aftermath

How do you clean the press

Can mice get into these hives?

How are 14 frames working do you find needing to pull honey and give them fresh frames so they have enough room, or would you just let the bees swarm?

Ohhh what a lovely day it is… get off my branch.

I just can't see how bees survived in the wild before humans came along. It's almost like if you give the bees welfare, they get stuck on it and can't survive without it.

You said, "Honeybees have co-existed with other insects for thousands of years and that won't change anytime soon". I couldn't agree more!! Oh and @LtDan2K is a friend of Wes and loves busting his *****. 🤣🤣

please change the talking about not treating into not treating with chemicals! we should think of it as more about "chemical free" rather than "treatment free" because anything you do to help your bees is treatment, ie ... splitting, feeding, adding/removing frames,... that is actually treatment

people forget that bee's have been dealing with pests forever. they have the tools to deal with most anything.

Well it would be nice if I didn't have to treat for hive beetles but because I didn't I just lost a good hive because of beetles.

i want super treated pests in my bee colony
