Wow Marcella, thank you sooooo MUCH!!

Great suggestion!

Hi Richard BUT I will not be speaking. By the time Kamon and I connected his speaker spots were all full. But Sheri and I will be there and have a vendor spot. Maybe next year.

Yes, I've got a ton of ideas for future videos, it's like the "universe" keeps feeding me idea after idea and I want to do another coffee time soon.

Well, hopefully they will make it through winter.

Hi Roy, yes, most of the early discoveries of bees and equipment was from citizen scientist.

Thank you Bryan and thanks for subscribing now for a year.

Awesome, glad to hear that!! You were one of the lucky ones that ordered early. Thank you. They go on sale every August 1 and ship in cold weather. Good for you!

Thank you. It's fun.

Glad to help Felicia! As long as you are quick and do not lift out any frames.

That is interesting.

Awesome, made and packed with love ❤️

My pleasure.

Thanks Christine for the super thanks!! I really appreciate it.

I'm hoping that if my channel continues to grow I can move more into full-time content on beekeeping here on KZfaq. Now I'm trying to cram it in between all my other responsibilities.

Probably, but the next video shows it in the 60s 23 hours later so the heat should have cured and reduced.

I started beekeeping videos on KZfaq in 2008 and it hasn't been until the last couple of years that my video channel has gain significant traction. All because of my great, loyal followers. Thank you.

@@beek you knew what. I meant too.

Hard to know what normal is but to be 18 degrees warmer and 28% less moisture is awesome 👏

I know, so close!!

Many many thanks

Seems like I made one years ago

To wrap or not to wrap. Strong colonies probably don't need wrapped. Weak and sick colonies could probably benefit but a wind break is better.

Hi Luke, yes, I like that term and it really empowers those of us who are smart and hard workers but may not have a tone of degrees and letters after our name. We can still be giant contributors to awesome discoveries.

Or a heating pad

In my recent video the bees came up from the lower deep through their filled honey super onto the winter bee kind in 23 hours. Hole in front

Glad you found my channel. I'm really hoping more will be available in January. I'm pushing for that, but fingers crossed.

Feed them a good size tub of Bee Fondant : Place that Tub upside down, on some 1/2" Wood Timber Slats going Across the Frames ! So Bees have plenty of "Bee Space" to crawl from Frame Top, into Tub, have a Munch, and go back down ! Bee Fondant must be Bee Grade (not the Bakers type with added Corn Flour as a Stabilisers ! Bee can't eat that !) We couldn't afford David's Shipping Rates across the Pond ! To here in Scotland. 🤭 So we either Buy Tubs of Pre Weighed Volume (say 2lb Amounts.) Or ... Buy a Huge x26 lb Box of the stuff ! And Carve it Into the x lb need of the Hive !) It's super easy to Pop the Roof, add a Tub, or Tubs into a Super Box (as a Shim.) Put some kind of Material in that Space between Tub and Roof ! Bees have Hooked Feet, so don't use Fluffy or Fuzzy stuff like Cold Food Delivery Webbing, or Wool, or Burlap ! Unless it's above a barrier that the Bees can't get to, and get all caught up in your 'good deed concept' gone wrong (!) I have Chickens, so use ex Feed Sacks ! Plastic Woven, smooth, but let moisture rise, unlike say, a solid ex Compost Sack. That would cause Condensation to drop on the Bees. Reminder : 1) Upper Box where Bees are. 2) Add an Empty Deep, or Super Box as a Shim, aka Walls only. 3) Add some or several Wood Slats Across Bees (Space and they Support Weight of Tub, or Fondant Wrapped in Parchment Paper with a Hole in its underside... So Bees get in to Feed, but block doesn't Dry Out ! 4) Add a Breathable Sack Across whole Box, fold or tuck as necessary. Then : add Burlap (Coffee Sacks, Coffee Sacks with Sheep's Wool in them. Even Packaging Peanuts (those annoying fly away Styrofoam type. Or Maybe a Block of cut of Home Insulation Foiled Foam Builders Board. 5) Then the Roof. And a Big Rock ! Or all Tie down with a Rachet Strap. Hope this helps. 🤗 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 In the UK we call Sugar Fondant, Bakers Fondant ! (Hard Solid, Frosting ? Stateside.) Luckily our Food Stores don't add so many Additives, to food as in the USA. So we can buy "Fondant" in the Baking Aisle, or the Beekeeper Supplier Store. Just give Bees... Corn Flour (Corn Starch ?) That dusty white powder that stops food, going 'damp, soggy, splits, or spoils ! It's cheaper to buy x26 lbs premade. But some Beeks bulk by White Sugar, add heat and a 'drop of water' and Stir away ! It's very hard work to make Fondant, and Heated Sugar (to hot or high temps is toxic to Bees !) Or if your good at Carpentry. Have a Board, a Rim, Can pour Dampened Wet Sugar onto it, press in a Support Mesh, add more Damp Sugar. And allow Days for it to set Rock Hard....That's a DIY Candy Board ! I like Tubs ! A nice Sunny Cold Winter's Day. Pop the Roof, and a new Tub, remove the Empty. See any moving Bee. Done ! In x30 Seconds. And it included a Bee Inspection... They are Alive and Hungry ! 👍

Texas Chick... What ever you choose, Feed the Bees as a Winter must ! Say Hi to the Kids and two Hives. 👋

Texas Chick... Oops.... typo "DO NOT Feed any Corn Flour or Corn Starch"... To Bees. 👀

Hi Roy, I would advise you BUT unfortunately, I have no idea what country, climate or part of the world you live in. The answer can be different based on where you live. We are sold out of WBKS.

Hi Randy, thanks for being a subscriber for 1 year. The sensor in this video is from my weather station. It is an extra feature that my weather station came with that monitors any area indoors. So I just used it outdoors protected from the weather. Here's my affiliate link to my weather station: amzn.to/3EhZPsV

Yup, bees are very different in how they respond to winter.

My hives usually require 4 even with a deep and super with honey. That why we include the recipe.

Too many for just "me and a tripod".

I've tried but with bee space only being 1/4-3/8 inch there is just now room.

Were you a TV repairman?📺

@@beek Hi David burns your a really sweet guy(honey) yes I was a tv repairman.

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, you can store them in the freezer.
