- April was the busiest month seen here at @honeybeesunlimited . What I had hoped to bee multiple updates turned into one long VLOG. I hope now that the most torturous part of the season is behind me, that I can start making more content for this channel.
It was busy, over 700 splits, 300 nucs sold, well over a 1000 moved around to 130 yards. Missed some of our personal deadlines, but made every client deadline.
Also hidden in was a special reward given to Dave our friend and mentee from @hivesforheroes We present Dave with his first colony of honey bees and we are so excited to help Dave start out his apiary - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Man those bees were getting after you. Crazy
They have been split hard and in yards with too many bees all spring. Really made them defensive. Pulling brood over and over eventually leaves defensive foragers out of balance with nurse bees. Get these colonies to small yards and they clean up their act in a few weeks.
Great video, you a busy beekeeper , love watching commercial guys , a lot different from my 40 hives lol.
Thanks for your support. It helps knowing someone is watching and interested in our approach. I love beekeeping always so much to learn and share.
What trailer do you use to pull your forklift?
Its a 2017 Towmaster T-9DT. Tilt deck easy load unload with one person. We got ours used from United Rentals
