Look forward the buckwheat every year, and noticed the balsam is out here today in Sussex
Nice, they are gona LOVE that.
Brilliant thank you Richard
Looking great . You are like Ian you put your Bees right in the kitchen so they have no choice but to fill everything 😂😂. What a great setup. Thanks for the update. Thanks
Yay! The flow begins and yep, I’m still impressed with that wisteria!
Hi from TURKEY / samsun
Great to see some supers going on 👍 fingers crossed the weather plays ball .
34c in the shade here south warks today.
garden trolly, for those hard to reach sites
Thanks Richard!!!
It looks promising.
Do you add the empties under the full super? I find that works best
Why the tires? Water resistance? Arent the hives wobbly?
From war are you
How many hives per hectare buckwheat Richard? Are you there for pollination contracts and or honey production?
Hi Dan, it’s difficult to say because I don’t have the exact field sizes but about 3/4 per hectare. They need good wet soil if you expect a high yield but you usually do ok
Yes it’s free pollination if I get the nectar
Ok, you said 5 hives per hectare near end of video
1 hectare is 2.5 acres, so 1-2 hives per acre. I hear almonds is 2 hives per acre in Ca. Makes sense.
@@danphillips4590 it’s entirely up to you, better to have less hives with a better yield than too many with small amounts of honey.
For OSR, beans and borage we site 1 per acre for pollination, 1 per hectare for honey.
The air was filled with the smell of chinese chestnut last week in New Jersey! Tell us it doesn't smell like Semen! It does!!!
I wouldn’t know what that smells like! 🤣
@@richardnoel3141 there is a funny story behind that. I always thought it smelled a bit like a chlorine swimming pool until a friend suggested someone told him it smelled like semen to which he said he could not disagree! To which I also said I could not disagree!
@@richardnoel3141 😅
We call it the harry monk tree here in Sussex😊
Buckwheat like wet and not hot weather.... slavic people like it taste, others hate its smell.
Yeah rub it in with the chestnut for the American viewers
Can you get a premium for buckwheat honey? You should get a nice haul.
Yes it’s the highest value honey of all here.
Will the buckwheat honey crystalize quickly? @@richardnoel3141
