  • Not every beehive makes it through the winter- for better or worse it’s what happens to every beekeeper. You just got to learn from it and keep going! We look at my hives that didn’t make it and I take a crack at why they didn’t survive.

      Thanks ! I really appreciate that! Been a tough year and a half, but I’m back! Just did a bunch of beekeeping today! Installed some packages, did some walk away splits, and some nucs with new queens!

    😢😢😢 my first year having bees this last year. They all died 😢😢😢

      It happens! Last year 48 percent of all hives were lost! I typically lose about 30 percent.

      Good to hear u say that! Much appreciated! UA-cam has definitely changed in the last almost 2 years since I did a video, but I’ve been missing it! I got my beekeeping start about 10 years ago w some used equipment! Thanks for watching!

    Happy you are back! I had to drop beekeeping due to old man back. Another great video.

    Glad to see you making videos again. What do you use to treat your bees for mites?
