Ok ya’ll, we have a lot going on in this video so be sure to watch it through the end!
The video kicks off with our apprentice who is a Veteran that we partnered up with from the Hives for Heroes Program. This is a special program to us as Kelly comes from a military family. The non-profit program connects Veterans with Beekeepers and provides them with a hobby in an effort to relieve stressors they may be experiencing and improve their mental health. The program also offers a free online college beekeeping course to participants.
Commercial Beekeeper and Queen Breeder, Jose Uribe, takes Steve along with him up to our Lassen Park yard where they discover that a bear has once again breached the electric fence. After unloading all of the equipment, Jose makes a walk away split and re-queens some hives.
On this day Jose has forgotten to bring candy for the California Mini Cages to do a proper queen introduction so in a pinch he uses pollen patty substitute and wax paper in the entrance.
The pair then heads over to the local Tractor Supply and Ace Hardware in order to purchase new fencing supplies.
This video was actually shot in July but we are behind on editing all of our content. Thanks for hanging in with us and being patient!
If you placed a queen order with us this year… thank you! We are passionate about what we do and are working to make a big difference in the industry.
If you are new to our channel, welcome! We are a small family owned and operated commercial apiary located in Northern California. We've been commercial beekeeping for the past 12 years, but branched off and opened Uribe Honey Bees in January of 2019, and launched our KZfaq channel in April of 2020. We specialize in queen breeding, pollination services, hive management and brokering.
Thank you for watching and supporting us! We love you guys!
