Here is the patty mixer attachment for the drill. amzn.to/3bmxmTN It can also be used for mixing sugar syrup fast!
Could a frame that's completely full of pollen patty (reinforced with wire) be placed in the beehive...🤔
@@partical7 I do suppose it would work but is not practical, the wax paper is to keep it from drying out and its way to much pollen patty for the hive to eat before hive Beatles have a field day.
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been a beekeeper for 5 years and I’ve learned so much from you. Keep the videos coming!
Hey Kamon, Fred Dunn just gave you a shout out on his channel! Looks like you, Ian, Fred and Joe May are the most valued and influential mentors in the bizzz. Cheers!
Thanks Lara! I hope our videos help.
Agree. Thet is oll l woch on yt . Little beter with my raste english. Kamon make me doo it
Nutrition is so important but overlooked by most beekeepers. We are very close to Maple bloom in Southern Ohio, already at 41 GDD. Just a few more warm sunny days will do it. I started adding small patties this past weekend to help the girls out.
Thank you Kamon !! This is my 3rd go around with bees, Its been several years since I've kept bees, I was very discouraged when they all flew away after a few years because I realize I did not manage them and did nothing to help them. Waiting for my brand new nucs to arrive, your info is so helpful. I'm hoping for success this time. Thanks for all your videos.
Nice vid that adresses many points.
The easiest way i found until now is,
1 Part of dry sub
1.4 Parts of Syrup (HFCS or inverted)
0.05 Oil (Canola/Sunflower)
mix in a bucket with a drill, pour into a plastic box with a plastic liner. Wait a week to settle.
Turn over and remove the liner, now take a big knife and cut into slabs, either directly place in a hive or put into a parchment paper sandwich bag for storage.
Hi Kamon love your pollen recipe & the bees do as well! This is my 2nd year using.Thanks for your videos!
Keep them coming guys
this is great tried and true Informtaion!
I was really hoping to get the actual recipe.
I got a lot of questions on my recipe and I mentioned my last couple of videos that I use your old recipe with bee pro. I think the vegetable oil is perfect for keeping it pliable. I use my wife’s big honkin kitchen aid mixer and it will do a double batch. I might try the paint mixer next time. I was afraid it would be too thick. Thanks for the video 👍👍🐝🐝
Hey mr Reynolds! I’m live in Va and enjoy all your UA-cam videos. I buy my bee supplement from Dadant . I mix heavy sugar syrup w/a small amount of Honey bee healthy into my pollen substitute patties. I found that wax paper is easier for the bees to shred up small enough to remove from the hive . My bees have consumed two one pound patties so far and I plan on feeding it to them until spring . My hive populations are exploding. The bees have been bringing in so much dandelion and maple nectar and pollen they have began building burr comb under the feeder rim just below the moisture box. If all goes well this spring I plan on getting five frame nucleus from these hive . I bought three established hives last July and like many areas we did not get anything from golden rod . I would like to purchase several queens from you this spring. My plans to expand from three hives to fifteen by the end of summer 2020 . You’re doing a great job .
Kinda looked at it like your were going to take a bite out of it. Good video thanks!!!
Bout to start my beekeeping journey in april, prepping all my gear. Great vid ty
This is my first year doing pollen patties. First time I've had all my hives survive through our long north-eastern winters. 7 out of 7. I made a homemade batch up, a little runny for the first time, but I just had enough pollen from some I had saved up. Only 1 hive seemed upset putting it in. This is also the hive that has consumed the least amount of candy. The rest of the hives were quickly distracted and were busy at the pollen. I am going to need a lot hive equipment soon. I only have one spare brood set up and ( whole hive ) I am working on figuring numbers out for a 12 or 13 frame box to house a double 5 frame over it, to attempt to run a multiple queen box. I want to see how a flow super will work with that. I haven't had luck with it yet, 3 years I've had it out, bees never filled it enough yet. 🧡
Thanks for watching and good luck with the flow super this year!
Thanks Laurel & Kamon for another great video. I’m still trying to use up patties that I bought from Kelley’s or Mann Lake that was on sale. I have ran across several other UA-cam channels that say that they are using the Kamon Reynolds pollen patty recipe. So I will too once I use up my store bought patties.
Thanks for the video!! Just some video tips: you might want to put a blanket behind the camera to absorb some of the sound so it doesn't reflect back into the microphone and createt kind of an echo sound. Rooms with a lot of hard surfaces tend to bounce sound around more.
Made my first batch using pro sweet last weekend. The bees love it!!
Yes they sure do
Hahaha! Laurel, you must be the most gentle and patient person in the world! I was myself thinking on using my bakingmashine for the patties...lissening to Kamons remark, that might be the end and dearth for my bakingmashine? I like to do stuff myself, so really enjoy theese videos! Not finding all ingreediences here though. As allways, Lot's of love from Sweden!
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the winter patty recipe. It would be great to be able to make winter patties instead of purchasing them from a bee supply company. The purchased winter patties are good but are expensive.
Great video thanks 🐝🐝
The recepte works good. My first suplement ever. After you show me the nunber of winter bees in your hives it will be stupid not to thray it. I 'm shore it will doo good in sumer. This one will be long and hot. My spring is started a manth too erle. Thank's for the recepte
Thanks Lauren & Kamon
Bravo. Whats the difference in feeding cattle hay in the winter? Livestock needs fed in dearth.
Hey Kamon,
Just a thought....the average yokel doesn't weigh ingredients...mostly because they don't own scales. ..so could/would you give out measurements in volume ratio instead? It could be in any common form...cups, pints, gallons...ie. like mixing concrete at whatever the ratio is. Looking forward to seeing you in Maysville.
@Freedom Toast that's cute
Why does Freedom toast really have to reply??? I though it was a great question. Thanks for asking. Jim
I would actually like to se a written recipie on all things just to be sure I am doing it right. For all I know I might be missplacing a letter or 2 and being lost in translation. I've seen we are an international bunch following you. Maybe more than me might be helped? Just a thought... to make an extra comment/link of it somewhere. 😁
Thanks for the video!
I wish someone would try adding dissolved gelatin to the mixture. That could help the patty keep form and stay moist. It would blend better than oil.
If you don't mind I would like to ask you a question. Have you ever used either organic apple cider vinegar or Honey bee healthy in your patties to help aid in digestive gut health? Both products do that. The apple cider vinegar also helps to keep your patties fresh longer as well. It does not take much. I think in a 5 gallon bucket I have used 1/4 cup of apple cider vinager. The goney bee healthy i went to the directions as if I were mixing the pro sweet.
Along with the offers, how about getting on mannlake's email list. You'll get advertisements almost every day
Kamon, nice job on the pollen discussion.
Do you ever add essential oils or flavors to your patties. I always ad a touch of anise extract which makes the patties smell like licorice and the bees seem to like it.
I don't but it may encourage the bees to consume the patties
Hi Kamon, just found your channel and ordering you hive tools off of your amazon link..How do you keep this newer recipe? How long does it stay good for ? I would love to make it in advance and throw it in the fridge or freezer and use as needed I only have 4 hopefully 5 hives this coming season..Thanks for your time and experience and thank you Laurel for giving us her husband for a bit every week. Great camera work!
Hi Christine, If you keep it in a deep (non thawing) freezer it will stay good for a couple of years. In the fridge, it wouldn't shock me if it last 6 months or more. I can get this newer recipe to stay good in a room temp setting in a sealed bucket for a few weeks. Thanks! - Kamon
@@kamonreynolds Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,. I'm looking for just keeping it good for another month or so. . Here in NJ it's 30 degrees can't wait till End of March. Enjoy your Friday night.
Ultra bee mixed with honey works great for me.
Thanks !!
I'll be very interested to hear what you come up with as a winter patty recipe. I need something better than the mountain camp method.
What are the ratios for making the pollen patties you are currently using? Is there a video for that? Thanks!! I always enjoy your videos
2.8lbs prosweet, 1.5 ultrabee, 0.4 lbs of sugar
The UA-cam app, on my phone, your skillshare link is not selectable nor can I copy and paste.
Links for the other videos, not in the video, would be great. I would save a lot of frustration from having to select one of them then come back to this one, select another one, come back to this one, start this one over because it forgot where I was, find the link to the other one you posted in the video, come back to this one, finally get frustrated enough to not care if I watch this one or any of the other ones linked to in the video
What do you think about adding oil to help keeping the patty moist?
Kamon did you ever finish the winter patties recipe? I don’t see the video for it, how does it differ from the pollen patties, and would also be interested if you could explain here or in a video the different patties available and when/why to use each. (IE winter vs pollen vs brood) Also have you continued the Algae experiment or was the second video the end of that trial? Curious how the long term effect went using those but again haven’t seen any follow up on them.
Hi from the UK
Hey Kamon, What’s your take on adding a little oil to the patty mix? It seems to prevent the patties from drying out as much. I’ve been using about one teaspoon to one pound of mixture. Breaking Laurel’s scale was not a good move, my friend. Colleen has put her kitchen equipment strictly off limits after a few such incidents so I am on my own... Stu
Hey Stu, I find it is not needed in this new recipe that has prosweet. It is important in the sugar based recipe however!
I've seen on premade patties different protein contents. how much protein is needed or optimal?
It's cold in Kentucky. At what temperature will SHB start laying eggs in patties
Now. That patty in a big hive will be warm enough to raise some larvae not as much as warmer weather but they are still capable. However, the larvae once outside the hive will freeze
Hi Kamon,
On a double brood do you place the patties on top second brood box or between the two brood boxes
Between if there are bees below and above. If the bees are only above then I would put it on top
@@kamonreynolds Thank you for the quick response
Hi Kamon,
When you place the pollen patties between the two brood box, does that make the queen restricted to move up or down, since the patties is created a temporary barrier between the two brood boxes.
Hi Kamon. Would it hurt to add a little Honeybee healthy to pollen patties?
It wouldn't hurt
Hi Kamon,
I have leftover pollen patties from last year. Is there a way to rejuvenate/ rehydrate to soften them up so the bees will take them faster/ better? Still having cold snaps here in Indiana, but would like to put some on asap.
Add tiny bit of some syrup or honey and that may do it.
Hi kamon , juste a little question about your pollen paty recipe. first of all you add honey( from your bees), then the second part I did not understand what you ad sorry , then in third sugar. Can you please tell me what is the second element for your Paty recipe . Thank you 😊, I can follow most of your videos , but sometimes a fiew words I do not understand. I was born in Washington state in 1972 and my parents moved right away to france where I live since so my English is kind of rusty 😂😉
Thank you for your time and videos 😊🤟🤟👍 who are great !
the 3rd element is Ultrabee which is a Mann lake pollen supplement. Other Brands can be used and perhaps you all have a brand made there in Europe?
👌How are you doing!What do you think it safe temperatures to put Pollen pattie?????????Great video !
I am not sure what the exact temp or if there is even an exact temp to feed these patties. My biggest concern would be cleansing flights. Once I was was getting cleansing flights every 2-3 weeks I would feel comfortable throwing them on. I really don't have any experiance in cold areas so I am not sure if they can be fed early than that.
I thought you were like Siri and not everything?!?!?😁😉👍🇵🇱
Thanks for the info!!!
Love itttt
Hi Is maple syrup will be ok to make the pollen patties? thanks.
Another great video thank kamon,can you do a 2/1 heavy sugar syrup,I tried the other recipe with not much luck(very runny)
Yeah it is runnier for sure. Adding some more sugar and sub will help but I have noticed it depends on a few factors. Heat and water type. With a little tweaking we could make it work but this new recipe is superior
I just kept adding more sub till it was a better consistency. They consumed half lb pattie in 4 days
Thanks for all the gerat videos you guys, made a trip yesterday to kellys for some toats of pro sweet, looking fwd to using it instead of all that sugar mixing. 👍👍
You will like the syrup!
In Tennesse when is the last week you feed pollen patties going into winter?? thanks
Pollen patties looks like dabs
Sir why non soya base protein is use in Honey bees pollen substitute??
Soy can work and many beekeepers still use it but there is a compound in soy that effects the bees and makes it less productive than other sources. Many pros still use it though. It is ideal not to have it if you can find a better source for a reasonable price... but it is still ok to have it if you get what I mean
Is this the recipe for winter patties? I'm in Iowa so still have a lot of winter left. Also does corn syrup work?
The recipe is for pollen Patties we are still working on the winter patties
Are there any recipes that do not require ultra bee substitute powder? There are no off the shelf products like that substitute powder available in my country. We have ready made products like nectapol and candypolline gold at expensive prices. How to make a good pollen patty from scratch?
I have 5 hives and non of them have really eaten the Mann Lake winter patties. Is this because they don’t like them or they don’t need it.
That is odd. They should be eating those unless there is plenty of nutrition coming in.
How active are they? Still in Winter mode?
Winter here has been really off. Like Sunday was 78 degrees and Wednesday we got 6 inches of snow. They do take the pollen sub I put out on warm days.
Kamon, I think I missed it but can you share with me your new recipe... I think I missed it. Sorry to be a bother...
Is that all you would feed your bees during the winter?
What is the receipe for winter pollen patties?
recipe at 7:10
Can I use harvested "funny honey" in place of sweet pro to make patties? If so do I still need to add the granular sugar?
Tyler you can totally get that funny honey for this. Works perfectly. It will work without syrup but it will be softer so be sure to use some parchment or wax paper
Thank you Kamon and Laurel for another great video!
Do you have a link to the Pro Sweet and Ultra Bee that you get?
Hey Larry, I purchase all of those things from Kelleys/Mannlake. Amazon does sell Ultrabee but if you are buying alot of things it is cheaper to purchase from Mann lake directly
Thanks Kamon, I appreciate the update. 😀
Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend!
Could you use a 2 or 3:1 sugar syrup instead of pro sweet or honey?
It does turn out the same but you can use it. The other recipe in the kinked video is similar to what you saying and it worked well but I prefer the sub made it the video. Keep in mind we made a ton of the other and it worked good and was cheaper at the time
Thanks
What is the recipe to make it it’s five dollars a pack at our store.I would really like to make my own thanks
Thé syrup??? What do you use?
Pro sweet from mann lake.
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees Thank you. Will try.
What’s you thoughts of me using corn syrup, I don’t have pro sweet?
Can I substitute pro sweet for sugar sirop? If so, is it 2:1 ratio?
Kind of but the consistency will not be the same.
what is the bug that walks across the table at 1:55?
It's an Asian lady beetle. Looks similar to a ladybug but more orange instead of red. And not beneficial like ladybugs are. Here in the south they will invade your house by the hundreds in wintertime!
Which kind of syrup if not using Pro sweet? Corn syrup, Karo syrup, Aunt Jemima?
There is nothing out there II am aware of. I ordered a 50 bucket and they are not eating it. A month later and the patty is still there. They crawl on it but have not eaten it.
Very interesting. I have a few that are not wanting to touch the stuff much but they are little 2-3 frame colonies. Keep me posted!
What type syrup do you use
Say "Small hive beetle protection" three times really fast! HA HA!
Could you use 2:1 syrup instead of Pro Sweet or honey?
2:1 will make the patties real runny
Where's the recipe?
Thoughts on AP22 pollen?
It works good.
Why don’t you just mix pollen and honey from your own bees?
Who are these people that say such things to you!?
They obviously haven't read Winnie the Pooh, and therefor had a questionable upbringing.
The only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it. ~ Winnie the Pooh
Where is the recipe ?
Facebook group is still archived?
Yes sorry we just don't have time to manage it anymore.
Your avery vadio is good but sir you talking soo soo so much make the vadio short and descaus the new matherd and prosess i am sory agun
Sorry but I falled asleep°°°°ZZZzzzzz
