    This year I planted/grew from seed, California poppy and bachelor buttons in huge patches. The honeybees have been all over them and they have continuously bloomed all summer - a big plus. Have been collecting seeds from both but fighting the goldfinches for bachelor button seed heads as they are gobbling them up faster than I can get out to harvest. Might be a nice addition to your flower beds next year.

    Hi Bob! You could try without cold storage. On the bottom should be some kind of inner cover with expanded aluminum grid (it's something that we in Europe use a lot), then stack supers like you did on pallets. On top another inner cover (like shim with expanded aluminum grid) and then cover on top. Some beekeepers put on top on last super some jar with formic acid to prevent wax-moth, some put only 9 frames per super... that's for everyone to find out for himself. All the best!

People come in to pick the flowers or get engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Apparently it's a big thing in parts of the country.

    You don't worry about beetle larvae with the super over the escape board for 5 days?

    I put four boxes on top of bee escapes for four days, 16 boxes total, and lost 2 boxes to small hive beetle larvae.

      Sorry to hear that. I will be mindful to mention in a future video that people in in an area with a high beetle population could have issues after a couple of days, especially with older comb.

      Plastic frames work fine but wood as a personal choice I guess. Rite Cell, Acorn or Pierco on deep. Rite Cell, Acorn, Pierco or Premier on mediums.

    Hello Bob. Great video.
    Question. Aren’t all, or at least most, Caucasian queen bees black or grey in color? And don’t they produce bees that are grey and or black in color?
    I ask because I ordered a Caucasian queen from Winters Apiary and both the queen and bees looked like Italians? Please share your thoughts. Grateful.

    • @bobbinnie9872
      @bobbinnie9872  10 місяців тому +1

      I asked Sue Cobey this question about color when she was the person bringing in Caucasian semen from The Republic Of Georgia. She answered that although most Caucasian bees are dark, gray or mixed, occasionally a bit of yellow can show up because on the Turkish side of the country there is more yellow in the Caucasians. Our breeder queens tend to be dark and although some yellow may occur I would question large amounts of yellow.

      I was under the impression that the bees would not leave if the nights did not get cool but I think I was just not leaving them on long enough. Thank you for your time.
