- Vermin attack and more Feeding - Beekeeping in Ireland
I discover that one of the colonies in an out apiary has suffered a vermin attack leading to the demise of the colony and some of the nucs need more feeding.

I'm a part time Beekeeper from Ireland, mainly involved in honey production. I have been keeping bees since I was 8 years of age, with a hiatus somewhere in between.
I also do Queen rearing on a self sustaining level.
Currently we maintain around 50 colonies at various apiary sites, but we do have plans for expansion.
We have a number of projects lined up for this year, although we may have to put some on hold until next year due to recent unforeseen events. But we do hope to show you our progress here.

Let me know through the comments if there is anything in particular you would like covered through my videos. I don't intend to do 'how to' or instructional type videos, but rather how I do things; which may not always be the best way, but which I find works for me.
Thanks for watching!

Good day! I am a beekeeper from Ukraine, I also run a UA-cam channel. I came to visit you in Ireland this month with my family. The war forced them to leave everything and go. We are from the city of Zaporizhia, our front line is 40 km from the city, constant missile and drone attacks forced us to leave Ukraine. I wanted to ask you if it is possible to buy a small colony of bees from you? because I can't do without bees, I'm very used to them. Thank you!
When did you make the video ? today 22 march a liquid feed would be better from now on ?
Thanks for the comment. In late March I would feed syrup if I was feeding all colonies, but as I am only selectively feeding I think fondant to be the better choice. Feeding syrup leads to robbing unless all colonies in the apiary get it at the same time.....in my experience.
