Great video.
Rainmaker here Northern Indiana Goldenrod is it full bloom and all the rest of the Fall flowers
North Maine, golden rod is slowing down, I've had robbing with two hives , we need rain... You're awesome, keep the videos coming...
Goldenrod is having a bumper crop this year. No matter where you drive there is goldenrod in full bloom here in southeast Michigan.
Ty For all your help From Orlando, FL also Here in Florida we are in Flow,Rain tree,and Brazilian pepper in strong Flow
I so needed this video being I have one week hive I've been trying to bulk up and had another one swarm today.
You should give that colony better drawn frames of comb...the one the queen was on is trashed...good drawn worker combs will allow smallish colonies to grow as fast as they are able, but trashed combs limit there growth in a massive way.
Thats what they will get when I add capped brood ,then she will lay as they hatch.
I am new to Bee keeping with 1 hive. Your vids. are down to earth and very informative. Thank you
I'm a new beekeeper, your videos are so informative. Thank you for sharing them
Golden Rod waned last week here in Minnesota. Robbing well underway. Getting ready for winter.
Goldenrod is blooming here in northern West Virginia thank you for sharing this I appreciate it.
Star Thistle & Buckwheat hit its peak and now waiting for Asters in Northern Cal.
I'm in Athens, GA near the state botanical gardens. The goldenrod has just started blooming. The wingstem is starting too. It looks like my bees are hauling it in. Thanks for your help David.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing!
This time of year you need to make sure your Nuc have the minimum amount of Bee Force, if not then find some bees to add to it. The minimum is 3 frames of bees and brood. 1 or 2 partial frames of food is also helpful. Remember some of those bees are going to die before winter so help the hive by giving them the best chance to build up a winter brood of bees. Like Dave says Feed your bees. Time is running out to make late splits and they need to be robust if they are going to make it over winter. And for people that do have bigger hives and nucs, if you switch out a frame of bee and brood this time of year and add a frame of drawn comb chances are the queen will lay it up if you add it by side the frame she is on. Great video. Thanks for sharing. I've learn a lot from this Channel over the last 4 years.
Goldenrod coming in the hives in South Texas. I just noticed it today.
my first year keeping bees in Hawaii, im up to 8 hives now.....just found out there is no wintering of bees here. honey harvest is every 4 months. we have 2 season. spring and summer
Choocha Lagoocha 🤩
Lol what island?
@@alaefarmestatesllc Big Island
TheCodesearcher dotcom Hilo?
@@alaefarmestatesllc yes hilo side. i live in kurtistown very close to Plant it Hawaii Nursery
Great info thanks
I have become a reg customer with barnyard bees and by far the best experience I’ve had with a bee company.Their bees are a pleasure to work with, nonaggressive and healthy but I still wear a suit unlike David 😖 I swell up like a balloon The videos are great and very informative. Inspiration from David is incredible,try making your own queens to splits its all in there! I like being able to find great research, resources of info from comment section with rough time estimates. Sort of like a bee keepers journal TY keep em’ coming
Why was the queen weak? Why not give them drawn comb so they don’t have to use nectar to draw comb?
Golden rod starting to bloom here in Lumberton N C
There's goldenrod all over the place in full bloom in the Piedmont NC
Tried the mite fogger method. Not sure if it sucks or if I did something wrong. Made the mix right, gave 2-3 squirts like you did. Only difference was I have 10 frame deeps. Lost 4 hives completely, they absconded. My other 11 took a hit but they’re hanging on. Any suggestions?
Golden rod here in Southern Illinois isn't great yet. It's been awfully dry in our zone. The robbing in my yard is horrendous.
Not even sure if I should pull any frames, or even open my hives even though I need to. The robbing is that bad.
Semper Fi
As always, pretty solid info. I see some videos claim that a dusting with power sugar will put the hive in Grooming mode and the bees will take the mites off each other. Some claim they dont see mites in their hives anymore.
The thing is that you dont hear anything like that from the large Bee Keepers. What do you think about sugar dusting for mites?
B in Florida, I used powdered sugar on 1 hive, checkmite in my other 10 hives, no difference in anyway ! Going to do 3 hives this year with powdered sugar, we’ll see
@@robertselfridge3690 thanks Robert.
Golden Rod and Rag Weed in full bloom here in SE ARK.
David, when you pull a frame from one colony and put it in another, where do you place the replacement frame going in the donor colony if it's a frame of undrawn foundation you're putting back into that donor colony. Do you put it back in the exact place you pulled the brood frame from, or do you push the existing frames together and put the new frame on the outer edge where the food frames are?
I'll put it in middle where the capped brood frame came from.
BARNYARD BEES Thank you 🙏 Your videos are much appreciated by a novice beekeeper like myself.
My beetles and mites are under control, but what about wax moths? My split was completely infested with them, so much so that I had to take out two whole frames. I only have two hives right now, so taking from one to the other just isn’t viable.
In small Colonies only keep frames of wax in the hive that the bees can cover. If bees are not covering and protecting the frames then set those frames out in the open until population is high enough for the bees to cover them. You might have to put those frames in a 2 framer mini nuc until they can get built back up, and feed heavily.
What's the option if you have only one hive? And no capped brude to add on.
Put them a wax sheet for that farmers. Hard for them to build so much before winter. So they spend a lot of energy to do that. At list make them the foundation of give them build up frames and they will forge for nectar and more go out to harvest , or have a place where the queen to lay eggs. No space , house is not build yet ...how to make to the winter ? And you make weak other hives if you go this way ......bees need support to explode .....with syrup feeding you won’t make them have wax sheets for frames. No place where to put that syrup even.
Do you have to feed all hives in the apiary if you are feeding one of them? Sugar jar is on top of the hive, outside.
I am new beekeeper please a colony Italian
How about reversing the hive with a strong hive. I found that it works for me. Thanks for all the information it sure helps. In in Canada northern BC Quesnel BC.
What do you use to bait beetle barns
Middle TN- goldenrod is still going strong!
What do you use for Protein powder?
so you do not use foundation i am surprised, have made a one 10 frame , would like to see more I am actually waiting on to make my own foundation and there is quite a lot of time making such things
I be honest I haven't seen many hive beatles this year surprisingly. I'm still doing what I can to eliminate them but they haven't been bad this year here. I think because it's not been quite so hot.
Hive beetles have been the worst I've seen in many years, here in north eastern SC. Some bee yards are worse than others. We've had heavy rains, high humidity, hot temps with 108°F heat index.
@@jimallen1176 it's been a fairly dry summer here in SW Ohio.
Strange how it's so different from region to region. I thought they were really bed here 2 years ago.
how do you treat for nosema?
I’m thinking maybe using peppermint oil in my hives. Will it work or run my bees out.
Some Stateside seem to use Peppermints (Candy) to deter Small Hive Beetles... Luckily in the UK, we don't have SHB yet (!) Good thing because I don't like Peppermint (toothpaste is just bearable... 🙃)
Do a Video YT Search... quite a few Beeks add Essential Oils, but do your Research !!! You don't want an AWOL Queen in Autumn when you need to build up plenty of Bees, of Winter Physiology.
Just saying. 😎

Happy Beekeeping 2022.

Some use Oregano EO to eradicate Varroa Mites. See, think its SteveO World.... who does this. Others out there too. 😏
How do I use powered sugar in a hive
Best on UA-cam 👍👍👍👍
goldenrod is coming in now in southern wv
I find myself in need of a queen. Do you have any left?
Do you ship to AZ and how much?
Southwest Illinois, goldenrod is full bloom
I'd love to know why you are. I know it's not appropriate to do that on a public forum. Let's just say I'm just North of fern cliff and the golden rod is just now starting to Bloom
@@amylarson3958 I'm about 2.5 hours drive north of you
Hey David I've got two deeps on top of one another and they're full of bees what should I do should I leave them like that through the winter or what should I do
If you've got two deeps full of bees you are good to go. Don't do anything.
If it was here, I'd split it with new queen .
@@davidhaught84 this late in the year? I was thinking it was too late to make splits, good to know.
@@othalee We run single deeps through the winter here in North ga, we also do splits till mid September.
@@davidhaught84 I'm in north Texas about 45 minutes north of Dallas. Ive always over wintered 2 deeps, think ill try the singles.
Thanks
What’s the general opinion among experienced beekeepers on those high dollar FlowHive beehives?
Flow Hive works well in Australia, where there are no mites. Flow Hive is a great way to kill your hives as it encourages lazy beekeeping. Cool temps will not make the honey flow, hence the honey doesn't 'flow' from a FH. FH is literally ten times the cost of a regular Langstroth hive. I run a plastic-free apiary so no Flow Hive will ever be in my yard.
Fifth-year Beekeeper, MN. Zone 4/5.
My bees nor anyone around me have bees that are even touching the goldenrod. Any idea why?
Might not be much on it. If its a bad year in your area there may not be much pollen on it. Try external feeding ultra bee.
Its been very wet here this summer I figured it would be loaded. Just my 3rd year beekeeping so still much to learn like definitely not counting on the bees to use Goldenrod no matter conditions
maybe they don't think they can properly socially distance in the goldenrod fields so they are choosing to die in their hives instead
What about wax moths?
Sounds like a recipe for hive beetles.
What the beetle barn trap, or the mite treatments?
I had to order a queen earlier today
@Choocha Lagoocha That was helpful to a new beekeeper...appreciate your help
This video is helping me out so much right now. I have one question for you David or anyone in the comments that can help. I orderd a oxcilic acid vaporizer and it will b here in a few weeks. But one of my hives right now is struggling with mites and its holding them back from growing. The question is can I use apivar mite strips now until the vaporizer comes or should I just wait? I'm in wa state and the first frost is usually around end of Oct towards Nov
Do something now, don't wait. And just keep the apivar strip until it's done. Don't use oxalic acid when you still have apivar in there.
👍
Hi my dad which you
Those frames are junk. that colony will never do good this is embarrassing.
