Always bring a lighter for your smoker. They are helpful for moving bees and sugar water doesn't work so well for that. #bee #beekeeper #beekeeping #honey

It's August 7 and I've got to go see if I killed a queen when I marked her and check to see if the released queen survived. #bee #beekeeper #beekeeping #honey

    I would definitely recommend combining that Hive with a stronger one because there is hardly know population there at all and no significant brood pattern at all or maybe condense them down to a five frame nuc

  • @ericdvrak4281
    @ericdvrak4281 Місяць тому

    That’s not a defensive hive, but the low population makes it a weak one. If that’s your only hive it won’t make it through winter, if you have other hives combine them.

    Your queen excluder on the big hive is the wrong way around. Flip it 90° and the bees can move to the other boxes easily.

  • @parkinsonga3092
    @parkinsonga3092 Рік тому

    First year bees thrive on neglect. Personally I wouldn't add a super for another couple of weeks and you can stop feeding them. When you do add frames make sure that they have a decent coat of wax. I also paint a bit of honey on mine so that the bees move across the frames. The honey that is filling your first frames is from the sugar water that you are giving them.

  • @PawpawSammyAlyBug

    This is great! Pawpaw Sammy has a suggestion if you’re having an ant problem. Find something to make small legs for your hives (could be anything- like tea light candles or pvc pipe), and place those “legs” in water. That way the ants can’t go through the water and up to the hive! (The water makes a barrier)

    When you bend over your veil touches your face, bees will find that eventually and tag you on the tip of your nose/chin. If you wear a cap under the veil the bill pushes that veil out, some veils have a flappy stiff piece that velcros it out.
