    Beetle Blasters work great. I found that the pollen patties I used early on were attracting the beetles. Saw the comment below that someone suggested using a small strip at a time instead of a big patty. Learned something new here about wax months - thanks so much!

    Yeah interesting, we never see a major dearth up here in Canada. We jump from trees to dandelions to clover to milkweed then to goldenrod. Our season is shorter so everything is pushed together. We definitely have peaks to flows but always have something flowering.

    I found a more effective non-chemical herbicide than the vinegar/salt solution. Food grade mineral oil will not only kill vegetation but lasts much much longer. It takes a few more days to kill but it will last most if not all the summer. It's also completely safe to use around bees and other animals.

    Denham Springs,la we have been using the powdered ultra bees. They are on it like crazy. Is there a too much pollen. We also use the patties, however, we only put a slice 1"wide. They take it up quickly during inclimate weather.
    Very good pictures. Steady hand.

    I am having a problem with the bees using propolis and sealing up my Beetle Barns. I have clean them up every time I open a hive. I suspect the bees run a beetle or two in and try to keep them there by sealing the openings. Any ideas to keep them open. They do work because a lot of times there will be 10-15 dead beetles inside the barn. I just wonder how many more would be in there if the entrances did not get sealed up. Like your videos.

    Hey David......thank you for this video very helpful. I do have a couple questions, " Do you use the pollen feeder all thru winter?" And "What is your take on those Apigaurd gel packs?"
    I told you I bought those pollen patties omg I hate em 😂 what a mess. I guess you have to live and learn. The bees liked em in the bigger hive but the little Nuc box colony they weren't as attracted to it. I am super worried about that little hive......I had problems with the queen either dying at one point or she left with some bees I am not even sure what happened......they did make a new queen and I seen the mating flight on this past Monday....that was a neat experience to watch lol I didn't have my phone charged of course....that woulda been a neat video to share.

    • @davidhaught84
      @davidhaught84  4 роки тому +1

      We keep the pollen feeders running year round just incase, cause if you get alot of rain natural pollen can be depleted. I've never tried the apigaurd gel packs.

    Is there a way to buy or store apivar strips? The smallest pack I've seen is a 10 pack which means if you only have 1 or 2 hives they expire before I can use them.

    its so sad that our area has practically no pollinators. I have seen THREE honey bees, a few tiny bumble bee looking things and a hand full of red wasps. I remember when i had to kill the clover in my yard so the kids could play out there because the honey bees were EVERYWHERE. Now i have a yard full of clover an no bees.

    • @Sunshine-nr6qe
      @Sunshine-nr6qe 4 роки тому +2

      @RobinC It is sad. Live next to a 2 acre lot that developers clear cut last spring (in the middle of nesting season 😢, but I digress). Up until then there were bees everywhere, both hive and solitary - now not a single one. Thankfully at least the bumbles (tho diminished) are hanging on. Wish I’d caught the bee bug sooner and tried to swarm catch, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know... Hopefully bees will return for us all.

    • @mizzprettyhuston

      Our yard was the same way I never seen a bee or a clover hardly in it, but once we got our hives I watched the big lot of yard we own get covered in white clover and the tree by my hives....well it was about half dead....the bees brought it back I kid you not....it was really magical to watch that tree come back to life.
