    Smartest comment i heard. "Bees have a way of humbling the beekeeper" , amen Ian. As i always say, the bees don't read the same books i do. lol

    You taught me the most important thing that helped me move to the next step, you want nice full boxes of bees. BOXES OF BEES BABY!!!! The person that I learned from was always so worried about swarming they split back too much to get a good honey crop.

    Same as me in the spring, removing the first queen cell I find, knowing there will be more to follow, 2 minutes later, on hands and knees searching for that one cell in the grass!! you are after all, only human!

      Single box management. This time of year the nests are condensing. No risk of swarming as they are getting ready to hibernate.

      No scale, no sunken dead cappings. Examining queenless units for bacterial infection requires specific surveillance. As you would know, and as you can obviously see, there is no bacterial infection.

  • @jkd0114
    @jkd0114 10 місяців тому +1

    Something looks violent and commercial about how you handle bees. Many times in my yard I think bees are queen less and I leave them to survival of the fittest. Something you should try. Then I will check at a later date, and they will fix the problem. Even thrive. If there are new beekeepers reading this….some of the keys to a backyard apiary are letting the bees be ! No you do not have to feed them. That’s what flowers are for. No you do not have to treat them, survival of the fittest. And remember if you take to much honey they will die. Bottom line….don’t get greedy!
