After many failed winters in North Pocono Pennsylvania I finally insulated my hives with no ventilation during the winter only. I followed Dr. Tom Seeley's advice and heavily insulated the top of my hive but also insulated the sides. Just not as heavy as the top. I also built a quilt box for the top with a plexi glass floor so I could see the bees/fondant throughout the winter without opening the hive. The bees never balled up and it was my first hive to make it through winter. They are still thriving today. I also had a rescue from a fallen tree in the middle of January and I also put them in an insulated hive and they too are still thriving today. My experience thus far in my climate is Insulate the hive with no ventilation and make sure they have fondant of some sort of food available to them. With an insulated hive I believe they eat less since they don't expend energy trying to stay warm. Just my experience so far and thought I'd share. I enjoy your videos and learn alot. thank You!
Cold does effect them but it don’t kill them but it does effect them -20 -30 in a 3/4 inch box it must effect them
Cheers
Dave - FYI @ 8:07 - Sugar contains ZERO Protein, only Carbohydrates.
I was referring to the amino acids we add to sugar.
Hello David
I'm a second-year beekeeper in SW Michigan. Could you clarify my understanding of mite control. I understand if a hive has less than 2 mites per 100 you do not treat. So, when I tested my 4 hives, 1 hive had 0 mites per 300 bees 2 hives had 2 mites per 300 bees and 1 with 5 mites per 300 bees. All under 2 mites per hundred so when I ask other beekeepers, they all say treat. CONFUSING!!!
Your highest mite count was still under 2%, so you are okay, but the other beekeepers just may think 2% warrants treatment. 🤷♂️ It would help!
Thank you. I'm a first year bee keeper. I treasure your knowlwdge.
hi David . Thanks for another great video.
as new beekeeper just wondering if fall , winter and early spring feedeng bees by syryp
or candy etc , is it going to compromise anyhow quality of hony for next year.
the bees will store some of that food and later on move some of them to suppers???
yes or no...thanks one more time
Sorry I missed the live live. Had my monthly bee club meeting 🐝🐝. Never miss you. Thanks for all you do 🐝
Thanks David , Sheri ,Jessica &. ROBBI ! Your work is noticed !
Thank you with all my heart ♥️ never give up on us! Thank you for everything you do! My 🐝’s thank you. Love my girls 💛🐝💛💛💛💛
Do bee fly at night ? Seems my bee feeders are low in the mornings after filling evening before
David - I have 5 hives with 2 deeps. Three of the hives have nothing in the bottom deep. All hives have queens, and lots of bees. Upper box has maybe two frames of brood and 2-3 frames of honey. What do I need to do? I have top liquid feeders on all hives, as well as sugar bricks in all hives. Second year beek from eastern Ky. And I did not harvest any honey.
I'm dealing with about the same scenario. I believe I need to invest in pollen substitute. I see plenty of bee bread but not dry...
after feeding bees how long do i have to wait to put on another jar?
Dziękujemy.
Thank you so much
Hi David, Thank you for all of your videos. I have been keeping bees for 10 years and so do not find much of what you say to be new to me. But I still watch your videos. Why, you might ask? Because you reinforce what I already know. It's like taking an exam and doing well on it.
Thank you David. I learn so much from you
Thanks for letting me know.
Good information!
#class - prepping for my start of beekeeping starting spring 2025 your videos are very informative thanks for all you do!
Awesome, glad you are getting into beekeeping.
lol our nights are all 6 degrees now highs of 18 😅
Cheers
