Fantastic my friend! Had some minor surgery need to keep still for a few days my wife said why don’t you watch that Canadian keeping guy from the start to the end. I said I’m all caught up and 💥 BAM💥 perfect timing thank you for the awesome information again! Heading to the bee convention hint my question will be about nucs and Ezyloader’s.

I was in Miami in 2015. I worked as a waiter. I returned to Serbia and got a job in the municipality. I started working with bees and fell in love. It's been 4 years and I can't wait for spring to continue :) I wish you all the best in your work :) Greetings from Serbia
I pray you do NOT feed sugar syrups. Let real Beekeepers leave enough honey to Bees who graciously SHARE with humans.! THEY share with us. We are NOT to rape their hives and greedily take ALL their food for winter!
Each time I watch/listen to this, I chuckle every time when you find out Michael is 14, not 15 🤣. Michael is a very respectful, responsible young man. I caught it when he answered “no sir” to you asking him a question in the truck. I sure wish my husband and 13 year old son had that kind of relationship. You and Sandy should be very proud, as I’m sure you are.
I think I can call you friend ... I wish you good health and your family !! and in 2021 to be full of joys and everything that is understood. is what my eyes see !!! Well done ..... I do not know English !!!!! See you .. GREECE ...
Wow Ian. You are transparent. Sure gives a big view what it takes to be any kind of a farmer! Always being positive, finding solutions, and keep going forward. True Canadian. Don’t give up in our crazy conditions. Just started beekeeping with one hive. Your videos teach so much. Thank u. Been taking so many notes 👍
Don't sell yourself short... The wealth of knowledge you freely give has helped me begin my beehive journey. I have reserved my first 6 hives for spring and will be attending the conference in Jan in Tenn. I know you will be virtual but look forward to it.
Commercial beekeeping is a LOT of work. Not a 9 to 5 job for sure. I see more clearly why you implemented your work saving equipment. Have a good Christmas Ian.
Ive just discovered your channel, im trying to learn as much as i can right now and im currently catching up on your videos. Im curious if you have a lot of drift or a lot of lost bees when you move your hives like when it was flooded or other maneuvers?
Hello. Truly inspirational. We will start beekeeping this spring. What's the configuration of your hives, I mean the frame sizes from the bottom leve to the top ones? It's the same size at all hives? Thank you?
I am from Syria and very impressed in your job, but my question is the dear of his breeds that I see because I see it is very suitable for early activity in low temperatures and thanks
Any thoughts on oxalic acid treatments now in well insulated hives? Minnesota, high today 40 fahrenheit (R-15,-20, waded burlap quilt boxes). Wondering how the clusters might react. Fantastic summation! Thank you.
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog Yes. Realizing the cluster will not be penetrated. Was curious about the thermal ball regrouping and center heat mass recovery. Just BTU bee pondering with coffee :)
On summer yes you can have more honey right.... I m confused on winter and what you gonna do with all the box and where you gonna moving all the box of bee ....
Hello Canadian beekeeper, question for you. When heading into winter, and during winter, is the bottom entrance the only entrance you should have open? Also, during winter, when the bees and queen are balled up feeding on frames of honey, will or can they more side to side to the next frames? Thank you so much.
Hey Ian, could you show us what is the construction of those bins where you have syrup, it's clear for me that you have some wholes at the buttom but i don't understand how it works, so i'd be appreciate if you send some link or tell briefly about it, thanks
Actually curious for the feeding pails, what they 'work' like. Is there a specific name for these type of 'buckets'? Did buy them or make them yourselve? Greetings and thanks for the very informative video!
Good morning Ian, halfway through the new video. Nice way for a suburban carpenter to start his day. One question, do you ever have bear issues ? There must be bears where you are ! Thanks again ! Stay well !
Was just about to say that guy with the thing was very strong lol until i saw the whole thing lol. That is one big outfit how many frames of honey do you leave in each hive for winter
You mentioned culling problem hives and replacing with nucs. What do you do with the bees from the culled hives? What is your procedure with moving the nucs in? (Do you move them into 10 frame supers?)
Your hives are damp, that's why your bees need this strange treatment. The walls of your hives are just too thin, you need to insulate them. Keep them dry and you'll notice the difference. Greetings!
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog I understand but when you keep them dry and warmer you'll have a chance to stop using chemicals ' cause the natural varroa killers will come to your beehives. And it also means less food for the winter time. Chemicals kill both - the bad and the good, so the balance is lost. Try it with your few hives as a test. Watch this video about book scorpions, it's really great: ua-cam.com/video/y1zdancXRDg/v-deo.html
Ian, I live in Minnesota two of my hives are in rough shape and one froze out. I noticed in the dead hive there is plenty of honey capped and uncapped, very little pollen. I treat for mites in the fall with formic acid. I also noticed in the final inspection late fall that there was very little pollen in most of my hives. I am small only 12 hives now. Is the lack of pollen something I should have been worried about earlier. Is this a management problem on my part. Would putting a pollen patty in the rest of the hives help? I will then reseal them with tape and rap them until spring.
Hi my name is karim ! Am a beekeeper in california. Is it possible to bring your hives down to califronia for Winters time? I have yards to host your 1500 hives. Plus you can do pollination on almonds
Hello Ian, I am a new beekeeper. I am wondering on how you reduce the beehive (4 boxes of bees into one). In this video (min 6), do you just remove all three boxes (everything that is above queen excluder), feed them right away and that is it? Or there is some slow process to reduce it? I am afraid that they might swarm if I remove boxes while there is still warm outside? Thank you.
I have hives in north central mn. We have to run electric wire around our yard. When we put out syrup the bears tear the fence down and eat the syrup and hives. Any suggestions? Thanks
With your pliable lid covers for the winter, do you have a bottom opening for them to fly out? Or do you still leave a gap under the lid for them to flyout?
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog I C, I'm in Prince Albert SK. I keep my hives and nucs outside for the winter, just wrapping them and have double pillows on the tops. You must be somewhere south in MB, is flat and no trees around.
really interesting to a non bee keeper. When you put your hives in the shed in winter, I see you have fans running.I presume that is to remove the heat produced from the hives. couldn't you harvest that heat via a heat xchanger to heat your offices.?
Hard for you, your strategy is successful and few people follow it, but I have an important observation that the insulation for the hive cover is not tight or thick, allowing moisture to condense on the bees, and this is harmful to the bees, and it is possible for heat to come out from the bottom of the hive, and the water does not condense on the frames inside the hive, and it is required that the hive be open from The bottom is wire, not or without as long as the shop is dark in distraction

I believe feedings is coddling and makes the hives weaker . Your sacrificing strength for capitalization! Feeding uses up your profits as well.
