Seems like they just came back....Thanks for sharing the commercial perspective so those of us that learned beekeeping late in life can now live vicariously through you.

Shouldn't you be on the road,😉come on I am counting on you to help continue my keeper education into year two.😁Wet is being my chief issue, but I am learning more each day about how I want and can keep bees in the NW. 🤣Rain sucks😮💨I don't like Winter beekeeping in SW WA. I am look forward to the coming seasons videos.👍

Was the over weight due to the weigh station sending them back? Was the over weight due to over feeding? How many are you targeting to load onto a trailer? More of these vids please

Great questions - hives certainly heavy with feed but also Woodenware weighed down from all the rain. We’re starting to wax/rosin dip our own equipment come spring … should help with weight and maybe more importantly lifespan Usually 408 - 424 …

Be careful out there. This weather is not great down here. Fields are very very soft. I’m about a mile from where you dropped your hives last year.

It sure is - we’d been screwed if we didn’t have the hummerbee to bring in the totes and sub

If you set the box on the ground cluster do they not just climb up inside the boxes. It's always worked for me but I have plenty time

Yes they will/would … you hit the nail on the head … our time just didn’t allow it.

When you transport bees, do you seal🦭 the entrance? If yes, what do you use to seal it? 🦭
@Hive5Bees Жыл бұрын
They’re netted but bees stay in the hives with the transport wind and cooler temps
