Good morning Bob. My bees are bringing in a blood red colored pollen. NE Alabama. I hope you and your family amd crew have a wonderful Thanksgiving, God bless!
Just got our first light frost two days ago. "Normal" first frost is October 24th. Going to try and treat our hives for mites next weekend. assuming no brood and no pollen coming in. Two years now and no honey to harvest. However out hives are very strong right now. Thank You for another fun and informative video!
Camellia's blooming here in York Co, PA now even in the little snow we had a few days ago. Love the fragrance too. Witch Hazel here is still in tight bud even though we've had warmer temps well into Nov. I've often wondered with warmer Falls how long the hives are brooded up but last inspections I do are in September and I don't go into them again until March and then only to peek in to check food stores. Looking forward to seeing you at the Expo.
Good morning Bob. 19” of snow on the ground and the water is out. Luckily whatever bees I have left are snugged up and ready for what Mother Nature throws at them
That’s a good patch of brood, healthy looking brood too. Have you done any OAV treatments yet? We’ve battled mites all fall. We hit them with 3 hammers.
I had to push back my OA vapor here in central Florida. Took another route that I’m REALLY happy with. I’m excited to see how amiflex does on the market
Thanks Bob!! Hell of a deal for 10 frame deeps👍🏼 Up here in MA you can’t get a nuc for under $200 unless you know the person. Retiring to SC in 2 years. Can’t wait to start my bee keeping adventures there👌🏼
I thought I was having a hexagon yesterday but it was orientation flights only two but one of them was really big orientation flights if it was springtime I'd say getting ready to swarm
Believe it or not we have dandelions here in cleveland county. Bees are doing good and we too are getting some good cold weather. Thanks for sharing Bob and crew. Happy Thanksgiving!
Heavy rains in september and october with positive temperatures bees bring alot of pollen and dont stop the brood till december :( This is very bad since the mites are still in the brood. Last 3 years it was like that in SouthEast Europe.
Hello Bob I always plan around Dec. 15 to do my two rounds of OA an that has worked out good for me thru out the years . I had four of my colonies that had queen problems from where they for some odd reason tried to re queen in late October with no drones . I had to combine those four . I went back in last week to remove extra equipment an I also had a lot of brood . I can not ever remember having bees doing this this late . I think in one of them I cut out six queen cells . Hope all is well with you all. Stay safe an hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Great video Bob especially nice to see that Hamamelis which we don’t have in Europe but we do have it grafted onto root stocks. It’s a collectors item in European gardens especially the UK. There’s many varieties you can look up but yes witch hazel we call it as well, and after seeing the flowers, I was curious That’s really cool. We do get Bees on it over here but often it’s way too cold when the flowers come out, it’s one of the few winter flowering species we get here, like the Camélias. We have some colonies with brood as well, but I think we’re a couple of weeks ahead of you in the near broodless oh state as can be. I’m starting vaping next week if I can great video good to see you’re all doing well keep up the great work. 🙌🐝🧑🌾🫶
Bob, after selling this lot, about how many hives are you running now ? Still super warm up here in MA with Pollen coming in here and there for the last month- not normal.
Bob I hope you and the crew have a wonderful thanksgiving
Good morning, Bob and crew!! We had snow a couple of days ago in WNC. I always love the flower talks.

"Henbit" produces red pollen in winter in south and middle Georgia when the temperatures are warm enough. Thank you and same to you.

Happy Thanksgiving from across the river (Longcreek)

Have you done any OAV treatments yet?
We’ve battled mites all fall. We hit them with 3 hammers.
I have had to treat last 3 weeks of December for the last 3 years. I live in further North East. Warm winters keep happening.
How do you pack them for transportation to FL that would be a very interesting video I believe. Thanks Bob and team !!
Sorry Bob I forgot about your birthday, so Happy Birthday! I'm sure I was fixated on the election, well that's my excuse.

Hi Richard. See you in Kentucky?
@ sadly won’t be there this January Bob, wishing you a great show! Hopefully next year, January 2026. 🫶🙌🐝
@@richardnoel3141 Sorry we'll miss you.

6:00 notice your mate pushes the frames towards the feeder where as i hate it when they build wax between last frame and box, what are your thoughts
We like keeping the frames tight against each other so wax or propolis doesn't build up between the the frame end bars.
I have one in my yard I say it's 15 foot tall half as tall as the pecan tree pecan tree it makes a reddish looking flower but it is the big one
Good Morning Bob !
Good morning sir!
I thought Camellias were poisonous for honey bees?

😎
