It's currently 5 degrees here where I'm at in Missouri, my bees have survived the cold without insulation. As long as you have a decent size cluster, yours should too. I've had a hive that was only 2 frames make it.
Nice! It's still -1°F where I'm at in South Central Missouri. A quick peek via the endoscope shows mine are also doing well. Best wishes for a great beekeeping year.😊
It helps to build an audience on UA-cam and I use it as a reminder to folks that I have a new video out because UA-cam doesn't always send the notifications out.
We have had multiple days in the single digits here in NE Oklahoma. I think it’s supposed to get up to 20 f today. I’ve got some nucs out there, hopefully they can pull through
It is currently 24F and expected to drop to 12F tonight. I am worried but will drive to the other bee yard in the morning to check on the girls with a thermal camera.
I am not too worried about the bee barns. I too am confident they will keep the bees warm. My concern is with the un-insulated hives in the back row and at the Bee Castle yard.
Hoping they'll figure out how to stay warm and survive. They're pretty resilient and smart creatures I'm hearing. Wishing y'all the best.
We were spared a cold night last night but the temp is now dropping like a rock. My fingers are crossed.
Sleet and freezing rain and snow here. I put some foam panels around a few of the smaller colonies i had.
I think I will avoid the snow but the cold weather is a certainty. Fingers are crossed.

@@highlandhoneybee I'm in the bootheel, a little town called Gideon. We got a couple inches of snow. Hope you have a great beekeeping season as well!
@kevinogden4363 Oh! I know where Gideon is! My husband's family is from Malden. 😊
My fingers are crossed! It's getting cold out there.
@@BugFarmerBees they'll be ok.
good luck. We just got 3 inches of snow on 1/15. Going down to the 20'5 at nigh all week.
I wish we would get some snow. All we get is the cold. We are getting jipped.
Still have yet to explore the Instagram myself but love a good bonus video

@@BugFarmerBees I may have to play with it someday

I hope they all make it! It's the same here in Texas.. COLD
You better put a coat on😂
These next two weeks are going to be a test for the bees.
I wouldn't worry about the bee barns, you know Jim (Vinofarm) has a 100% survival rate with those without heating.
