This is a great resource for anyone who is considering starting their own beekeeping business
Go to harbor freight and buy a 2 wheel dolly, the one with the bigger wheels. Weld some square tube or something similar on the bottom like pallet forks. Then figure out some sort of ramp for your car trailer. It would probably be easier to turn your 4 way pallets into 2 ways for now.
Furniture moving straps work great. Tip the box back, slip the strap under and off you go.
Parking your trailer closer would help. Very LOVED this video,
Get away from 4 way pallets and use 2 way pallets. Bob Binnie has a great video with Seth Hill using a dolly the built using the 2 way pallets and double stacking them on the trailer. I’m going to build me one for my 2 way pallets
Amazed that you don’t get stung more, especially on your hands without gloves.
Get a torch lighter with the small tank at Wally World. You'll love it.
Anything is better then a little flame. I use the little green tank with the push button. It allows the sides to get red hot which will light anything touching the inside wall.
Soooooo glad they're in the sun this season.😊
Dang like supper woman impressive.. I'm 100% confident you'll meet your goals you have way to much energy to punch a time clock rest of your life who wants to live by the clock ... might look into getting wild mushroom certification like my son and I are doing.. there's 20 different wild mushrooms we can sell next to our honey at the farmers markets restaurants markets marketplace .. class was so much fun most fun I've had in years. We love to mushroom hunt as it is going to be more fun at 40.00 lb .. guess people go crazy for those puff balls at farmers market
Get a big bag of cedar shavings for like 10 bucks, lights easy and lasts a long time when packed in your smoker and one bag will last for several seasons.
Use dried cow patties, free and cheap. Long burning.
@beefitbeekeeping when does nectar flow start in Michigan? If I pick up overwintered bees in May do I need to use feeders for the first four weeks OR is that considered pollen season and they need to be removed? Conflicting info if you can clarify, thx
I have to ask the question - why didn't you move the trailer close to the spot where the hives would be placed? Carrying them 2 feet is way easier than 10 yards.
U get those bees from nick? Great video!
How long were yalls hives in California ?and who took care of them while they were out there?
I find it hard to believe these numbnuts sent bees to California for almond pollination. Looks like they bought a few pallets of bees again. They're just cosplaying as commercial beekeepers. Let's see if your question gets answered clearly.
you should of parked closer then move forward as ya go,, make it easy as possible,, keep up the awesome efforts you are doing,,,
That is a long road trip for them bees.😁Lift with your legs, not your back.👍At least get yourself one of those 2 person carrying rigs, I have seen them on Manlake.
You need an auto propane lighter for your smoker. It lights up your smoker in seconds. Screw it on top of a 5lb camping tank. It lasts the whole season.
Much better music. 👏👏👏
My lighters did the same thing, but then my friends bought me an Honest torch lighter
I haven’t heard of those! I’ll have to check them out, bees have been a little bit fiesty lately 😳
im sure its been suggested before, but find somewhere you can rent a forklift, or someone nearby with a tractor and forks! your backs will thank you
