Hi from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋 Well that is certainly different but then that is how discovery's are made. Chucking a frame of honey in the middle of the brood chamber pretty much flies in the face of everything i was taught about brood management but ive got an open mind and ill be interested to see how it goes and what your results are. Thanks for uploading, i see someone's freaking out about the video being in black and white which is not what im freaking out about at all 😂 whats your mite count? Are you watching that too while you try this? and what was your last or currently used treatment?
LOL the freak out guy knows all the trouble I have had trying to get a video up for the last 3 weeks. I am getting ready to do some mite checks. I use Oxalic acid. I make extended release strips that stay in all the time, and vapor to knock them back. all I used last year was strips, end of summer wash had mostly 0s the highest was 5 mites. I have some videos on it. Randy Oliver has done research on it, you can look him up. I am thinking about putting thymol in the mix also with the hope it will help with the chalk brood problem I have
@@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924 lol. Our main crop is Thyme honey 😅 there might be something to putting thymol in I've never seen chalk brood here in this part of New Zealand. Yeah ok sounds like your mite loads are down low with great management, so maybe it's a drift problem? Yeah Im familiar with Randy Oliver and since thymol won't be effective for my location, I've been looking into dropping slow release oxalic acid treatments to add to my mite regimen, he's got some good stuff although I don't agree with his no gloves/no veil for most bee work philosophy myself he's one of the sourses I've been consulting about slow release oxalic acid. Some hives are just naturally weak but I'd consider drift because it sounds like your mite control is on point and you don't have any other disease or pesticide issue . Oxalic acid is awesome.
I have filmora, but I formatted an sd card on my computer, and then everything got wonky. had to pay microsoft .99 to even get it to read the card. hope its fixed now
@@Nick_865 that is exactly what they will do. sometimes a colony gets stuck, they wont grow out of a small brood nest. putting food in the middle of the nest, where it dosnt belong, stimulates them, they have to get it out of there, then the queen starts to lay in that frame as soon as its empty
Pollen may help they seem to shut down bad especially if Carni ..if you can get them eating syrup probably do good!
our flow is about over, I see them reducing the brood nest. time to split and feed. I have 10,000 lb of sugar I need to use up
@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924 yes definitely.. 10,000 lbs sugar...wow! I wish I had that problem lol

Video editing. Shotcut is a great multiplatform free program. Very similar to Adobe.

It's in black and white!!!!!
looks like I still have problems
I think it is because he keeps running over stuff with the tractor.
Where are the bees?
down in the box moving honey out of the way
@@harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924why would they need honey “out of the way”? Cant they just move up to the 2nd box?
