Almost spat my tea out when you said "50 supers is a lot of money" 😅 *looks at my one Hive* ... yes I agree that would be a lot of money 😶‍🌫

David, you seem like such a genuinely great person, who really is helpful to all of us beekeepers!

Hi, I’m in the UK and our problem is not the heat but the wet, miserable weather that we have this summer. It’s worrying because they’ve been very inactive on wet days.🇬🇧

Watch you after my bee club meeting. Thanks to you and Sherri and crew for all you do. I’m new to bees. Everything All I’ve learned so far has come from you. Love you style 🐝

Hey I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your Queen rearing book, it has helped me a lot as I got started raising my own queens.

Thank you for all that you do for me and have taught me! I appreciate you, your wisdom and your willingness to teach. I just received another order today from you, thanks! Wish I didn’t live across the country, or I’d beg to follow you around the yard for a day :)

I added a brood super with foundationless frames with wire, the bees started building from the bottom up so today I swapped the bottom super with the bottom. Also been feeding the bees with the burns feeding board.

@lesliec2126 Ай бұрын

Thanks so much for all the fantastic info! I have just had to deal with a robbing situation when trying to perform a walk-away split in late June. It was horrible! I couldn't salvage the new "split".

@patrickkeating2860 Ай бұрын

Bees were very defensive today, just like you said. Constantly in my face and got stung 3 times thru gloves & pants. But I guess heat makes me cranky too!

If you have a strong hive that has plenty or resources will keep some drones threw winter I have seen it

Follow the label's recommendation, but I would not use any honey frames that have been treated. I hope you can join my livestream this Thursday at 7pm central time where I answer beekeeping questions. Here's the link: kzfaq.info2aTaxvH3sXc

Is there a way to keep a mated queen like a pet in a bug cage until you have a place to give her a hive? If you somehow end up with an extra queen because you thought you needed a queen and then you didn’t? I don’t want to just kill these queens. Couldn’t you just have a nice bug cage with some pollen, some nice sugar and the attendants she came with and she could just wait? Will she just get to the point that she just doesn’t lay anymore? Because she went too long without laying?

@beek Ай бұрын

I've tried it and we call it banking queens. It's a bit iffy on how long you can bank a mated queen.

@user-dg2ve4di8x Ай бұрын

Hi Dave, In one off your "robbing videos" you said if you took the lid off the hive, the robbing bees would fly out. If those bees are trapped in the hive, would they become part of that hive?

@silkysmooth7900 Ай бұрын

David, I purchased your additives and mixed as directed. I use the entrance feeder. At first everything was just fine. I then I noticed that something was leaking out of the hive and bees were drowning in it. It turns out it was the feed. Upon removing the jar, I found many more bees drowned in the feed. I’m in FL and it was quite hot.

@beek Ай бұрын

What type of feeder were you placing it into. Sounds like your feeder is leaking.

@silkysmooth7900 Ай бұрын

@@beek entrance feeder. Upside down jar with lid that has holes in it.

@annieshrock8821 Ай бұрын

I've had problems with my feed fermenting in the jars and losing vacuum when it gets hot. I heard someone say that the added protein can cause this. Not sure if it's true. Thoughts?

@Sahara-ms6xb Ай бұрын

Question: I'm taking off my honey supers now to treat with Apivar. But I've noticed they only just started capping them. Should I wait until the bees are done, or is more imperative to get the mite treatment going? I did an alcohol wash and counted an average of 4 mites / 300 bees, which I think is high already. I plan to put some honey frames back on in the fall for winter.

How does one buy these robber screens if you have a lot of hives?

Do you have or know where to get a monthly check list to help new bee keepers like myself. This is my first season with bees and I haven't made connections to obtain information yet. Thanks

@beek 25 күн бұрын

Nope summer solstice started June 20th not July. Happens in June in the Northern Hemisphere and marks our midsummer which means the longest day and shortest night of the year. In other words, the daylight hours are longest and night time is the shortest.
