Great video and it’s super sweet to hear someone speak such life into an in-law. It made my mama heart do happy. Seems like the hive absconded and the leftover is just mold from being left unattended. Can’t wait to see the new adventures. I only run Russian bees and most of mine are pretty gnarly. Buckfast I have heard is a good bee. They build up pretty fast.
Tim, So sorry about the unwelcome thieving invaders - definitely not the results you were hoping to see. Hoping you will be able to recoup.. looking forward to seeing Pt 2 and hearing your back up plan. 🐝
You can always put a little bit of Clorox in a bucket with water and wash them off and let them dry and reuse them I've done it the last 2 years and I ain't had no issue with it

Thanks for the advice and for watching, I will have to try that. Have a great season.
@@theboonecountybeekeeper 10% bleach water works fine cause the bees luv pool water anyway!!

Bob, counting on that swarm rustler this year to help build me back up. Thanks for watching.
