Most of my videos will be related to honey bees and beekeeping. I will toss in the occasional video of what is going on at our little homestead

How to ungrannulate #honey and turn it back into a liquid.

Just a quick video of how to ungrannulate our honey. The hot water method works great, but be careful if your honey is bottled in plastic jars.

how is your flow going right now? halteed? or are you still seeing nectar coming in? im in grayson county myself
Very helpful! Thank you very much!
Is it time to start the splits?
Yes it is for us in North Texas. We are currently splitting our hives and making nucs
Watch as we relocate the 'buzz' from your backyard to a happier hive! 🐝🏡

You should be able to show the entire process. Many people are not aware how much work takes to remove a colony of hard working honey bee. Sometimes missing the queen is a frustrating thing no? Unfortunately some people prefer to kill the bee just because it’s cheaper. To kill them takes 5 minutes to rescuing them takes up to 4 hours for the whole process.
This is amazing. Awesome work!❤
Hello Jason, I live in central Saskatchewan, Canada, where the winter climate is between -11C to -39C. I would caution beekeepers in colder climates than Ohio, that the addition of a pollen supplement in these very cold climates would possibly allow the bees to break cluster to relive themselves with catastrophic results. I store my bees in to a barn enclosure that is regulated at -4C (42F) and feed winter fondant without any pollen supplement and the bees remain in cluster over the winter until spring which can last from 4 to 5 months. A typical season begins in May and may last until September/October. I am subscribed and follow your channel given your beekeeping experience. Regards.
Microwave also works if you want slightly less effort
Yes it does. It's important to be cautious as microwaves may not heat food evenly, leading to potentially burning the honey.
thank you so much
thank you JC's Honeybees
I dont think i'll ever need to ungrannulate honey but really glad i know how to thanks jc's honeybees

Rename that yard to "Copperhead Road" 🐍
I don’t know much about snakes, but is that a copperhead? I don’t know. I hope I’m right well yeah
Yes it is a copperhead
Yay
Super cool to hear and see one of the things we are taught.
This is kinda cool, didn’t know they make noises like that!
Jason, Sir, fantastic start! Looking forward to seeing the progress!! Well done! It’s amazing how it looks so big and different when things get going!! Keep going there will be huge highs and lows!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤓🐝🐝🐝
Looking forward to the progress!!
I feel like a little kid before Christmas
Just made this.. I did a practice run with water. 2 gallons of water in my 5 gallon bucket and my 2 gallons of water leaked out in 5 minutes. It's leaking from the lid. I've tried two different lids and it still will not work for me. Disappointing!! But love your videos.
Does the lid have a rubber gasket? Also it will leak for a few minutes before drawing enough suction to stop it
Where do I find that bucket!
We purchased these at Home Depot. I have not seen them available in some time though.
Just ordered 5. Can't wait.
Great Video!!! How far from the hives should it be set up?
It’s best to keep it 100 yards away if possible. I would not want it to close as that could cause a robbing frenzy.
I'm the first one to watch the video!!!
BTW, if you make a habit of running your hive tool along the top of the trap, and pushing down as you go, your apt to kill several beetles as they will hide there to escape the bees🐝🐝🐝
That’s a good idea. I had not thought of doing that.
Hey! Wild bees, we must rescue!👍Like! Subscription!🤝🐝🐝🐝
Wild Pollinators not just honey bees
How many days it take to get the queen out of the pole
How many days to come out all the bees?
Normally 35 days
I’m doing the same thing but the bees keep finding new holes 🕳 😡 my third try is going to be the foam insulation
The foam alone will not keep them inside. They end up chewing through it to get out. You can use steel wool or number 8 hardware cloth to initially close up the hole, then foam over it.
@@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 if you subscribe to me 🤪 you will see my video soon I have my process on video I just have to put up some videos before that
Great Job! Thanks!
Thanks for this review. Is it deep enough to accept a deep frame with a swarm cell hanging from the bottom? Sometimes I need 3/4" additional to avoid smashing the tip of queen cells when I am using a nuc in such a manner.
I do not think it is deep enough to accommodate a swarm cell on or near the bottom of the frame.
Would this be the best bet for times when I wouldn't be around for an extended period of time to feed the bees? Like in the spring when the hive is starting, or summer since there is no fresh water supply nearby?
I use this as a stop gap. During our summer derth when the bees are most prone to rob. We will set up several of these with a little honeybee healthy added to attracted the bees. Then we feed our bees in the hive with the pro frame feeders.
Mellyfera??
Woow, so good
I am going into winter with a double deep and a deep with a medium super. Since both queens have been laying in both upper and lower levels I am just going to let them have all of that. Would that be 1tsp for the double and 3/4 tsp for the deep+medium?
Yes The recommended does is 1 gram (1/2tsp) per deep box of bees. So a double deep would be 2 grams (1 tsp) and the deep plus medium would be 3/4 tsp.
Yellow jacket! I'm also in the area east of Dallas and this is the first year that I've had trouble with them, I had two in my yard and yes they can be aggressive. My brother in the fort Worth area was sent to the emergency room a few weeks ago because he mowed over one. Mine were particularly aggressive because I accidentally set a trash bag on top of them while I was taking out trash and heard a leak at my garden hose bib I decided to try to stop. They attacked that bag for the entire day and I got stung 3 times getting away from them. I got stung again while removing them. They're super easy to get rid of, just poor little gasoline down the hole but don't light it, most people do but it's pointless.
Good
Nice information ua-cam.com/video/oCGOtMuWjHg/v-deo.html Please join my UA-cam channel .
Looks smaller then 1/8
Very professional would like to view a bee removal from an active metal electrical pole.
Hope your leg is healing well. Looks like you’re motoring around pretty good. Stay safe
What type of honey bees were they? Given their aggressive attitude. Russian hybrids?
B. Jenkins my guess would be Africanized. Every county in the state of Texas has had positive genetic confirmation of them. So their stance is, if you encounter an overly aggressive colony assume it’s Africanized. What we did is split that hive in half, kill their queen and we will requeen with known genetics tomorrow.
And a thumbs up For the camera lady.
Great job Jason!
Dear Sir , greetings I have a question , my bees colony is queenless. the problem is that now workers bees start laying multiple eggs in the cells. Kindly suggest me what i should to do in order to make requeen?? Fresh brood i already had given them. But instead of making new queen they have started laying multiple eggs on the same cells of newly placed brood. Kindly suggest me in written here in this bloag. Thanks .
What I find best for me is to introduce a new frame of brood and leave them with that for roughly about a day, then you should be ok to put a new queen in there. That should suppress the laying worker's need to lay eggs and increase the likelihood of the colony to accept the queen
Just got me one
can a bee fit through the drainage holes?
Wild B no they can not. We did discover that if the lid is set to VENT they can get through that. Other than that they have been pretty bee tight
Weather throwing a wrench in your beekeeping plans.
It sure did.
Looks like they are glad to see you.
They just were trying to show me how MUCH they loved me
How does it not overflow!? What kinda sorcery is this??? 😂
The water tension keeps it from pouring out. The bees use their proboscis (tongues) to access the syrup. Lets bee honest, there can and is some leaking at times. This is just a quick and easy way to feed when you are in a pinch and do not have the time.
@@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 maybe a piece of plastic or material that floats could be cut to fit inside the bucket leaving a centimeter space around the edge of the circle for the bees to land on and go to the edge to drink the feed. Then no spilling and hopefully no deaths either
@@guardiandogoargentinos1385 You can try it. Keep in mind that the bucket is tapered, so it get smaller as you get closer to the bottom.
@@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 i didn't think about that
