Looks good. That Honey B Healthy will give them a boost. If there's not any pollen coming in, you might give them a very small piece of pollen patty, like a 1" strip right on top between the frames over where the brood is.
Thanks for stopping by, ive used pollen patty before and it seems the beetles like it more than the bees, but like you said a small strip is probably a good idea
It always feels good when they pull back and build up well, Congrats.👍Ya when the girls get big they get a bit sassy from time to time.😂Blessed Days...
Ugh😅 broken smoker 😬 i use lega Italian smokers, theyre bombproof 😂 and so are the hivetools, i haven't used amazon gear but if you like it and its working for you that's great 😃 👍 ten point bonus for the beetle 😂 nice looking colony. Fortunately hive beetle and European foulbrood are not in NZ, we have enough drama with varroa. Great video 👍👋
Thanks for watching, yes varroa destructor mites, we have those here too. The smoker I had was 3 years old and i do leave it outside after use, id hate to burn my shed down. I guess ill see how this new one is

Theyve all been pretty chill so far this year. Maybe 1 or 2 stings
Smoker is ordered lol
Your queen was on the first frame you pulled out, running around towards the bottom of the frame. You can see her about the 2:46 mark.
Wow she was in plain view and I didn’t even see her, honestly wouldn’t have expected to see her on an outside frame .
Thanks 😊
Well spotted👌🏼
