Honey Bee Feeding Frenzy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Feeding 2:1 sugar syrup with 1/8 tsp of Apis Biologix and quarter cup of homemade honey bee healthy per gallon. Watch how enthusiastically the bees gather the syrup and return to their hives.
Watch for black bees on the hive and going into the hive from about 9:10 to 11:45
Awesome video brother! I agree!!! God Bless!!!
Thank you kindly for watching and commenting Earl! I appreciate you brother! God bless you and your bees!
Johnny, I think your girls knows the cold is or was coming so they were packing everything in that they could get before the cold hit. Mine at my house were doing the same thing yesterday.
Yes. They are making the best of the warm days they have left. Thank you kindly for watching and commenting!
I love watching open feeding. Some people love it and some hate it. I think of bee lining every time I see it. I might have to try it in the spring. Looking good brother 👍God bless
I love it too Houston! It looked like a 4 lane highway of bees back and forth to the hives. Thanks for watching and commenting brother!
What Houston said... We really enjoy watching them while open feeding. Their behavior with one another, even helping the one's outside their colonies. God has made an awesome critter for us to work with. Johnny... They all wound up on mountain dew... God bless brothers.
That's a good idea Tim! I need to give 'em some Sun Drop next time. Lol
Springtime is better for gathering nectar to make real honey. Summer and fall feeding during dearth is a good time to open feeding after the honey harvest. No one wants honey made from sugar water.
@@sherryortiz227 but yet everyone is fine buying blended honey from all the main brands. If you really read my comment you'd notice nobody was talking about feeding in the spring, yet that's what everyone who wants to build bees does before the flow. Feed. I said I might try bee lining in the spring.
Looks like ya need a bigger bowl Hungry, hungry🐝's feed'em, feed'em then feed them some more. Good looking hive activity Johnny.👍
Looks like Fall chilly is here and our Winter here in the NW will right around the corner with in weeks, did you get a chance to try out any of the Apis Bioloix products, looks like I'll be waiting for Spring to give them a try.
Ty Johnny for sharing your time, Blessed Days...
Probably need some buckets! Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting DC! God bless you brother!
Your bees are looking good Johnny. Getting every last drop before the cold hits. Good luck
Thank you Lee! They're workin' hard while they can! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I’m starting to community feed as well! Great video! Great activity of the bees! We live in AL! So it is not to cold yet! God bless
Thank you kindly Grayson! May God bless you and your bees!
They look very active. Love to see this.
They're takin' it in good! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Johnny if you put that honey bee healthy in there it's going to make the bees go crazy especially in the fall, it's got that lemongrass in there
Thank you kindly Charlie for watching and commenting! It's homemade honey bee healthy. Yes, they did go crazy. I fed them about 300 yards from the hives.
What all do you put in yours? I've just been doing thin sugar water since July when I pulled the capped honey combs. I have HBH but it ain't really got much of anything in it. Like I've got my own mint and lemongrass.
I like to use 1/8 tsp of apis biologix as a feed supplement mixed in per gallon of 2:1 syrup for fall feeding after the honey supers are removed. Thank you kingly for watching and commenting!
@@TennesseeMountainBees Yeah I don't have any of that stuff. Heard about it one one of the videos I've watched. Not sure if there's a homemade version of that.
Apis Biologix is very inexpensive. Only takes 1/8 tsp per gallon of syrup.
Looks like they enjoying the open feeding. Gonna get pretty chilly here in Louisiana tonight! ✌🏻
Below freezing here this morning and tonight. Thank you kindly for watching and commenting!
It's just too much fun to pass up!
Thank you kindly Mike for watching and commenting! God bless you brother!
What part of TN are you in? I beekeep out of an 80 also. Love those things.
Northern middle Tennessee about 4 miles west of Monterey. I've put 100k miles on the old crusier. Odometer is showing nearly a quarter million miles. She's showing her age but still makes a good bee truck! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I think most of it goes to the stronger hives... if you want to feed weaker hives i think you need a more targeted delivery.
Absolutely. I like to open feed in addition to giving smaller colonies homemade pollen patties over the brood nest. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Wow
Thank you kindly for watching and commenting!
Groceries lol 😆
Yep, they're sure bringin' 'em in! Thank you kindly Jody for watching and commenting!
