I thought the same thing. I tried to make myself feel better by remembering the drones have nothing to contribute - except sperm. Didn't work. I tried to focus on the fact that workers that defend the colony do so at the cost of their own lives most of the time. Didn't help. I reminded myself these are not human males and to stop anthropomorphizing this. Small, tiny help there. Its how this species has developed to give them the best chance at survival - and to mess it up could be disastrous for the species, and to some degree for many other species, humans included. This helped the most. But it still left me feeling sorry for the drones.
Great video! I worked for a beekeeper in New Zealand for a season. He had over 600 hives and used all full depth boxes for honey. Seeing that crane attached to your truck made me very jealous as those boxes can weigh up to 60 lbs and hauling them on and off the truck by hand makes a back really hurt!
hello sir, incredible beekeeping in your place. I want to learn with you, I am a traditional beekeeper from the province of Bengkulu, Indonesia💟🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
I love the efficiency of your honey extraction line. Curious about that last bit, producing the long strands of wax though. I hope that you can go into that in some more detail soon.
. This year I have noticed that there was hardly any honeybees whatsoever same thing with wasp. It is very strange the Yellowjackets didn't try to make a nest on my porch which they usually try at least two or three times and I haven't seen any honeybees whatsoever. Does anybody out there have an idea as to why? The other day September 16 I put out a little sugar water no Bees came to drink from it only one landed near and it died from what I do not know. I looked on the B and did not see any mites. But they are very small it would probably have been better if I used a microscope. What say you people out there that know about bees?
joli travail .....mais il faut utiliser le chasse abeilles c'est mieux...... ...si vous avez mis le chasse abeilles....il n y aurras aucune abeilles dans le hangar ....ami apiculteur d'algerie....merci.
I know a commercial guy near me would put up big bug zappers in his shop to get rid of extra bees that came in with the supers since he didn't have any windows really. I like your approach though, every hive you can get through the winter helps tremendously
Ian, Just WAIT until after dark to unload your trucks & problems are solved. One thing you can help me with - PLEASE give that recipe for those pollen patties. I've got stressed out girls here I need to get some quality food. Be a buddy, help me save from losses ~ PLEASE!!!
TheOregonOutlaw If it is the recipe he was testing for someone else - he cant give it out, its not his to give. I don't think he would compromise that even to save his own bees.
@@julieenslow5915 It's food for our Bees, it is NOT some Manitoba government secret nuclear code! LOL Helping others is how I was raised - so sorry if you find I'm out of vogue but I'm not changing.
@@TheOregonOutlaw I am aware what a pollen supplement is. In a recent video Ian posted, he was testing a pollen supplement formula that it's creator had asked him to test. That's what I was referring to. Check the video.
Hey Steve your daughter looks like she is going to be a hard worker with good work ethics. I was wondering if having lids on the truck you could cap off each stack as it is made then once the row is established you could pull the lids and pull the tarp over them? Also at the honey house do you think that a couple of livestock fans blowing across the entrance might keep the bees from following you? Thank you for your blogpost s! Bill in Fort Collins, Colorado
I sure do envy you on going to this level as I will never get to but I love your on what it takes on bee health to go on and it’s very similar to me !!
Hey Ian....maybe those hanging plastic strips used a lot in Industry....6-inch strips of plastic...hanging across the whole entry doorway...just an idea....
I see that little steam generator hiding behind the extractor and wondering what brand you have. My steam pot is on its last leg looking for something better. Great video, enjoy the silent viewing of things, there's so much to observe and learn from.
I could watch your honey production all day! It’s so fascinating. However, the thought of cleaning all that equipment?? Must be a monumental task? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hi Ian. Couple of questions. How long does the extractor run and do you run it backwards half way through? I dont think I've ever seen workers clearing out drones. Looks like a rodeo. 😁
Everybody involved in your operation are hard workers and I do hope they are paid extra well....they surely deserve 'combat pay'. The insight you give us of industrial bee keeping and honey production is far removed from those us playing with a few hives. I wonder if a few monster fans might not help keep the robbers blown from the doorways?
I really enjoy your videos I’m surprised the number of subscribers isn’t higher. Sometimes that just takes off especially if the videos are liked and shared. It would be interesting to make a quick note of how the titles correlate with the number of views? Etc I’m wondering because I believe this can be a source of some income in addition to being super helpful to apiarists everywhere. Also I enjoy your entrepreneurial approach and your striving for efficiency and effectiveness for you and your staff and most especially for the bees. Oh yes - and one can’t say often enough how much bee husbandry is really symbiotic and protects our environment. Always looking forward to your videos. Thank you 🙏
First time seeing somebody move bee hives during day time.... Bees remember hives by radar waves if came and find it's hive it is gone' and that destroy the whole colony specially on harvesting day and it the most time when beekeepers lose their biggest hit of losing bees and colonies die.
Will you be expanding your hive count for next year? Looks like you have your infrastructure down very well. Your wax awger press system works amazingly. Very impressed with your setup.
Ian, would one of those flexible translucent slat doors that you might see in a refrigerated warehouse work? I've seen them passing fork trucks and people pretty easily. Might make it easier on you and your crew to pass through while keeping a lot of bees out.
Do you have a link or something for that manipulation hands on the truck? I am interested to see more info about them. Also, that pneumatic thing at the beginning of the video is an interesting solution too. Greetings, and thanks :)
Takes time and time is money you should see some return . These vids have turned my bee keeping around. Starting nice business now. Rearing queens in area we had no supply . Got more honey then I know what to do with
One very interesting video, especially the honey house operation, how many 44 gallon drums of honey total if you don't mind me asking , you said this year better than last year what has changed ??? Peter Australia
Do you have the bitterweeds and snow on the prairies plants that far north. They started blooming in august stopping honey harvesting here pretty well.
I'll be interested to see if you find the new wax auger a worthwhile investment come wax season. Have you been able to determine how much more honey it recovers, on average?
Hope youvsee this . How are you handelling the heat? Dont let bees hang out to much the beetles will take over. Cheers from Austrslia. Welcome to my hot summers🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Just thinking about the Bee’s at the Honey house could you build a screen room outside the door where you could pull the trucks inside before you open the door to the honey house ???🤷♂️🤷♂️

Noticed that the very top box of the stacks do not have a lid which draws the robbing bees. Wouldn't throwing a piece of plywood, or that silver covering you put under the lids, on the top of the stack greatly reduce the attraction of robbing bees?
He's only processing the wax cappings that are removed to extract the honey. The comb remains so that next year the bees just put honey in the cells without making the comb.
Thanks for sharing Ian. Great to have a peek at your smooth operation. You have a fine, hard working crew. How many are family members? A Well honeyed machine!
She's your number one sidekick and foreman, eh? She really knows how to handle herself and really knows the ropes quite well. Heir to the Throne? Great family Ian. God has blessed you! @@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog
Ian, when you strip off those last single deeps above the excluder, do you just set them out in the yard and let the bees rob them out? It sounded like you do, but wasn't sure.
I am always impressed with how smooth your operation runs. This is a testament to your skillset. If you are taking guesses for this year's production I am guessing 385,000 pounds. The employees will get a good bonus.
Un mal trabajo al recolectar la miel. Llevan mucha avejas a donde al macenan la miel desde el campo lla tienen que benir las cajas con los bastidores limpios de avejas
Great production video to watch. I like the ending where workers bee get a free ride from the drones while evictions take place.
Carrie blew the snot out of those bees! At the end, it sure is a tough time of year to be a drone!
I thought the same thing. I tried to make myself feel better by remembering the drones have nothing to contribute - except sperm. Didn't work.

This helped the most. But it still left me feeling sorry for the drones.
At the very end of the video, it's drones being rejected from the colony, right? Cause it's end of summer, all queens have mated, etc.

What is it the lack of different types of pollen causing them to kick the drones out ? Something we never see in our area..

Would a couple of large fans blowing high speed air across the entrance door help to prevent the bees flying into the building?
that is called wind curtain blower, good idea.
Ok, if you will pay for electricity

Impressive to see how hard your young helpers work in the extraction room and in the field!

Can open the door last light of the day to release the robbers. Thick strips hanging from top of door will keep the robbers out. *Sweet Outfit* 👍👯

you are welcome
Bee Crews Rule! Excellent work team you have there.
Its good to see all that bees...keep them well in your perfect lovely nature...

Chris Turley interesting thought
Hey Ian....maybe those hanging plastic strips used a lot in Industry....6-inch strips of plastic...hanging across the whole entry doorway...just an idea....
Bees are inside boxes when they are brought inside
Liked the unexpected portal music :)
Lol ha ha
I think if you asked anyone if they wanted free bees they would probably come an vacuum them up for you or do you want to keep them.
Thanks for sharing and helping us newbie bee keepers !! And how do you store your honey suppers and frames over the winter.
Nossa. Bonito trabalho. Parabéns. Qual país?!

Very interesting video of commercial honey production........I would like to have heard a narrator describing the honey/wax extraction process.
Wondering if you have your own recipe for feeding patties or do you buy commercial stuff? Would love to have a good recipe to make at home.
I was surprised to see both the wax spinner and the screw press. If I may ask what machine gets what product flow in your operation?
Love seeing this. Thanks for sharing. I have got to get one of those hive body lifts.
I could watch your honey production all day! It’s so fascinating. However, the thought of cleaning all that equipment?? Must be a monumental task? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hi Ian you could put some heavy duty strips over the door to stop the bee's getting in.
Coitada das abelhas que não saíram. Vão morrer😥
Hi Ian. Couple of questions. How long does the extractor run and do you run it backwards half way through? I dont think I've ever seen workers clearing out drones. Looks like a rodeo. 😁

A major limitation on how many hives he carries over to next year is the number of hives he can fit into his bee shed (hot house) for overwintering
@@davidsachs4883 I see. Makes since.
I'm curious what you do with the extracted boxes. Do you allow the bees to lick them clean? I don't think I've seen that in your videos.
