Thank You!
It worked great on all of my hives!
I made your pollen patties, with a twist, about a month ago and put them on right away. The bees really liked them! Thanks Kamon! I put my left overs in the freezer and refrigerator. I'll be putting them on my three hives on Tuesday when it is 70 in Omaha NE again.
Got soaked at the end of this video! Been raining like crazy here!
The recipe works GREAT , thank you again for sharing the information Kamon!!! I made these patties back in February and been feeding them to my colonies ever since. I cut small 3" x 6" pieces and fed them to small two frame nucs. Every single colony "jumps" all over these patties. They gobble it up in no time. Gone in 48 hours! I have not seen increase in small hive beetles, so I'm going to keep feeding it to them. I've still got a batch I stored in the freezer which I'll thaw and use. If there is any noticeable difference, I'll be sure to share.
Thanks Tim please do keep me posted on the consistency with longer storage times! Thanks!
I followed your recipe and made a batch last month and all my hives have loved it and have really kicked in high gear making brood ever since!!! Better keep a close eye on swarm control if y’all feed this cause they fixing to be rolling!! 👍
I love this recipe. I think it works better than pollen patties with syrup.
I'm making a batch a week. I've made 12 splits so far and every one of them have consumed this recipe.
Thanks!
THANK! Hope your spring is off to a good start. Been a weather roller coaster here in Ohio
That's spring time weather. Ty, Blessed Days...
Hi Kamon, can you please give some informations regarding your beespace.
If I place a patty between the brood boxes then the top frames would be standing out. I just have 5/16 between bottom and top frames.
🤔 I believe that 5/16" is the correct bee space. This bee space will be filled with the pattie. The bees will consume it from above, below, & all sides. If I am understanding your question, you do not need to add extra bee space because of the pattie filling that bee space. It is temporarily blocking the bee space. They eat it fairly quickly. 🙂
Sorry if you have answered this before, but how do you determine if you will wear your jacket with hood, or less.
Literally How many times I get stung before putting it on
Excellent recipe my bees loved it and need to make another batch!
Tried making patties this spring, I've never seen them eat it so well.
Thor: Bees and Thunder Coming to an apiary near you! (thank you for the recipe!)
Great looking stuff
We've been getting snow showers all day at 35 F so I'll take your weather.
That looked like a big pile of patty there. Hope they enjoy and make you a big pile of honey this year again.
I may miss most of the live tonight since I have a board meeting at 7:00. Dang it.
So did the one in the refrigerator actually get softer than when it was made? ... Or is the open container drying out some to the thicker consistency?
If you add a couple cap fulls of raw Apple Cider Vinegar per 5 lbs of finished product it’ll prevent mold from forming for more than 6 months. Thanks for sharing your bee knowledge.
Glad you're okay bud, rumor has is you were talking so much smack on your last live stream that Laurel had to pull the plug on your internet 😅
Alright y'all, this doesn't save time but saves hive beetle battling, and no parchment patty. With a palmer like mix you can put it in a icing bag and squeeze it between frames. I did it to half of two yards, 25 hives got it in each yard.
They have consumed it at twice the rate with effectively no hive beetle larva.
How do they get to the pollen if it’s inside a icing bag that they can’t chew thru?? I’d love to try this but not sure I’m understanding how your doing it.
@@catchemalive I pipe the Pollen pattie in-between the frames with the icing bag, my wife even uses a decorative tip because she's extra lol. Just pipe about 5 frame gaps halfway. I do lines of 3-4 inches with gaps so they can really get after it. Hope this helped
@@backwoodsskeptic8343 wow!! Now that’s creative thinking!!! So your just piping it in between the frames of brood but not actually down into the frames like making it go down into the brood itself right? Just along top of the frames in the gaps with spaces in between so they can come up and work it?
@@catchemalive exactly, i like to make it just barley touch the very top of the comb and keep it below the top of the frame wood so they can access and police it from the top too..
make sure it's "dry" enough to not run like kaymond says. I just add extra sugar, or half the oil to Palmers recipe and it's wonderful.
@@backwoodsskeptic8343 will definitely be giving this a try!!!!
I’m almost done with building my first horizontal hive now!! Wanted to experiment with one of these and see how I like them this summer! 👍
I still use your old recipe but will try this one next.Thanks
That there is just a waste that's about 3 times what you want.. I look at that Patti just loaded into cell's where brood could be and then what they don't eat they just keep flying it out and dump it so its going to waste, also that much Patti is just asking to be slimmed out..
Hey kaymon! Maybe you can answer a question regarding queen rearing. Specifically towards the nicot system. I tried to get the timing right so that I could put the queen cups inside a colony for them to raise my Queens this Sunday afternoon. However the queen is a day late on laying the eggs in the queen comb box. So my question is, do you think I can get away with putting these queen cups in a hive to be raised into Queens if the eggs haven't hatched by sunday?
Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼
I saw a recipe for a vegetable shortening sugar patty. I wonder if shortening would help pollan patties stay soft and not dry out?
Good morning my friend . I am writing to you from Greece "Europe" Congratulations for the videos. They are very detailed and informative. I would like a clarification on the recipe. When you say "Ultra bee" what do you mean? Pollen or some substitute and what e.g. soy flour
Thanks.
Kamon have you ever dealt with CBPV and if so, how did you deal with it?
Kamon what's the lowest temp you will make splits? It's been low to mid 50s where I am most days. I made some up in the upper 50s with partial sun but felt like i was pushing it.
Haven't made my own Patty's yet maybe next year
What is the recipe if I want to use ready-made syrup instead of granulated sugar?
When does the flow usually start and stop here in middle TN ?
140 pounds of honey-how many oz is that?
Could this work as a winter patty recipe if I reduce the amount of pollen sub and just increase the amount of sugar?
How are the apimaye hives doing?
Dandelions????!!!!! Had an inch or two of snow this morning...BLAH!!! Forecast says more snow to come next week...BLAH!!! I am going to add MORE sugar bricks and pray they don't starve...
Been experimenting with my own pollen sub recipe but haven't got to look in the boxes yet to see if they liked it.
do the shb like it?
They like anything inside a bee hive....🤬
Don’t move to Ireland Lol.
