Beautiful excitement when you see a prime crop! I feel the same when I first put my hives to the buckwheat!!your excitement is infectious! Good luck on the last main flow!! 😎🎯🙌🤪🍺👍
Our first year using an Ezyloader and escape boards for the entire pull. I’ve lifted maybe a total of 12 heavy boxes so far, on 1000 hives pulled. I’ll never go back to tipping again
I checked my hives yesterday to find the honey wet . Theres 6 quarters canola blooming a mile east of me . The crops are almost done right next door and the Rm mowed the ditches that were full of clover . They have to mow early to control the Tansy Ragwart infestation..
Is it worth to move a nuc box ( nucleus colony or starter colony ... I didnt know that so including the definition 😀 ) into a standard brood box adding extra honey frames or more insulation to the sides for wintering? Would that help the box retain more latent heat through winter and hence help the bees survive the cold longer ?
I much prefer sunflower honey over oilseed rape/canola, which tastes of cabbages to me, as well as setting like concrete if you let it sit for a week, which is ok in the jar but disastrous in the comb. Ivy also sets solid but tastes better, heather honey is great but not worth the additional cost of purchase or collection unless you have moorlands local enough to easily manage a yard from home.
Hello. I really liked your video. It's very interesting. I would like to ask you about that box that you place on the second box. That is, the first boxes are nuclei, then there is the queen excluder, then the second box, and then there is that box with tips lying horizontally. I have the feeling that they are real cells, but I prefer that you clarify it for me.
As long as the loader is level with the brake on. We had trouble with the pin sticking. The actuator only pushes the pin in but doesn’t pull out on ours.
You’d think the guys engineering these types of things would know about the sticking pin at the main post and develop either a larger mechanism to pull back the pin or something
What variety of sunflowers does your farm grow? I have planted them several times before and my bees wont touch them. They get covered by bumblebees and that is it.
The canola honey would have to be mixed with something else as the taste is very much of cabbage. It granulates rapidly in the comb when removed from the hive. I guess you extract quickly.
Ian do you have issues with Canola crystallizing, or do you heat past crystallization temp? I know people who heat, but I don’t like ruining said enzymes 😂. I guess the companies don’t really care.
"Smells so good". LOL It may smell like money but you could not sell that as a perfume. You surely don't want to walk in a sunny field with a tee shirt and shorts either. Do you run propane guns to scare off the blackbirds in the fall?
Wow that's nice to have sunflower that just started at this time of the year. Not much sunflower field here this year. By the way, did you get message from beemaid? They need picture of a beeyard with sunflower field. I don't have beeyard that is right beside the sunflower field this year.

Man… an ezy loader is certainly moving up on my must have list quickly.

Thanks for sharing what you do.

We are pulling 10 gallons of water out of the air in the hot room every day,
Honey holding at 18.5%
Hola qué lindo muy bueno 🐝🐝🐝🐝👍👍👍👍😀
Were do you get that type of escape board thank you
Does 🌻 sunflower honey have a unique marketable taste ????
7:14 Lifts a few deeps of honey just for the workout while the EZLoader sits idle.
LOL 😂 I refuse to Ezyloader single boxes … lol
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog My back hurts just lifing a few.
I find it astounding that we use bugs to make money!! 😂

late canola and sunflowers, lucky you.

Ya that sticking pin is a pain. As soon as I get a chance I’m going to add spring pressure
Yeah mine sticks, especially at the cog at the main post.

ذروة فصل الربيع عندكم في كندا هو الشهر الثامن ونحن عندنا في المغرب ذر ة فصل الربيع هو شهر الرابع .

Oils , Pioneer variety
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog thanks
Get some poly nucs I run 6 frames threw winter outside they willl winter nice inside 😊
Heat is gone I notice it today it got cooler
What are the narrow feeder shim looking things you put between the hive and the new deeps you are putting on?
Escapes
Hello sir. I live the idea of two nucs sharing honey box, but what do you use for inner cover? the foil stuff?
What beautiful potential
when were the sunflowers planted?
The canola honey would have to be mixed with something else as the taste is very much of cabbage. It granulates rapidly in the comb when removed from the hive. I guess you extract quickly.
Na, I find canola very mild a f pleasing
😂 Cabbage?? Canola honey from the prairies is delicious. Creamed canola honey done right is hard to beat.
Well it must be a different plant from the UK grown one. It is definitely one of the less pleasant tasting honey's out there.
@alanporter2694 Indeed, they are not the same.
You need some amigos!!!
You think you’ll make it to NAHBE this year? You’d mentioned you’d probably go every other year.
But heavy boxes 🤑💰🤑💰
Love the videos! How’s the farm side holding up?
We are not out of the woods quite yet. Crop is coming along
Escape boards look very effective. Home made or store bought.
What variety of sunflower are you growing?
It’s a pioneer oil, forget the number
Ian do you have issues with Canola crystallizing, or do you heat past crystallization temp? I know people who heat, but I don’t like ruining said enzymes 😂. I guess the companies don’t really care.
Tic toc , we are scrambling
What is the size of a section? I hear you say it often enough
640a

Don’t you have any fighting going on when you mix both hives on a honey supper
As long as the queen stay separated
What do you use the nucs for?
Restocking
How big is a section?
640
Acres? WOW!
Wow that's nice to have sunflower that just started at this time of the year.
Not much sunflower field here this year.
By the way, did you get message from beemaid? They need picture of a beeyard with sunflower field.
I don't have beeyard that is right beside the sunflower field this year.
I missed that email !
@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog Jeff, who sent me a text message this afternoon.
You think you’ll make it to NAHBE this year? You’d mentioned you’d probably go every other year.
Thinking about it
You’re there, I’m there! No pressure. Lol
