I put a 20 liter gallon of filtered clean water on an angle, I leave it drips in a plate filled with small stones, fresh and cold water in summer
I have a few "chicken waterers" that I throw some Himalayan salt in the water and the girls 🐝seem to love it. I find the bees also love bird baths. I put some rocks and a few sticks in them. (Not great swimmers, bees.)
Sounds like your bees are probably very happy. Yes, not great swimmers. I've had a save a few in my time as a beekeeper. lol
lol
I was just asking about you on FB.
👍🏼
All good I hope! 😆
Muito bom meu amigo. Lindo vídeo. Parabéns TMJ 👍🏽🐝🇧🇷
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!!
I just got ahold of the "bee rafts" and those float in 5 gal buckets, providing max efficiency liquid feeding. My bees are downing water with these things like crazy lately.
I just use sticks or pieces of woods as floats. Hay works well too.
For the colony with the banks frame, put an empty deep on a lid, and also a deep and medium on another lid.
When you inspect, drop them into the appropriate box(s). Reverse to put back and shake remaining bees back in.
There's a reason langstroth did what he did!
Yeah, it's all the extra steps that are slowing down the inspections. I know it needs done this week though. Did you send me some cooler weather? It feels super nice outside this morning compared to the last 2 weeks. lol
I'm putting FormicPro on today. Looks like we have a few days of cooler weather this week
I remember as a kid, garden hose water was the best tasting water 😂 you just had to let it run for 30s to get it cold. Obviously, the bees concur 😅
🤣😂
That microscope would be handy to have for checking mites, and if your bees are chewing on them
I see a lot of uses for the microscope. Make sure to check out the video this week when it's released.
@@JCsBees looking forward to it
What is the name of the mini microscope and the name of the frames you was talking about and where can I get them both of them?
I will be sharing a video on the microscope later this week, watch for it! As for the frames they are called Banks frames and you can purchase them at www.etsy.com/shop/Banksbarsysem?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
Jason, can you post a link for the vevor microscope. I am looking for a dissenting microscope, and I wonder if this would work as one.
I have a good microscope that I use to do nosema spore counts, but it will not work for tracheal mite directions.
Hey Fred, I will share the link with you over on the community, I don't want to share it here until I release the video.
Of course!!
Just asked (where the heck are you)😜
I wonder if you could harvest that ragweed pollen and sell it.
That's a interesting idea! If would surely help those with allergies.
Have u ever banked a mated queen over winter?? Is it possible? I'm in NE Ohio & I have an extra mated queen, trying to figure out what to do with her
No. I think it would be hard to overwinter banked queens. Are you attempting it?
@JCsBees I have 1 extra mated queen so I was going to try & get her thru the winter somehow
@illumi-Nate Good luck and keep me posted if you don't mind.
@JCsBees will do, I'm just in NE Ohio, in Medina county.. our winters are probly similar, except I'm near the snow belt
