Please be aware that the content within this channel is produced, edited, and shared by Jason Crook, the proprietor and operator. Possessing nearly a decade of expertise in beekeeping as a Master Certified Beekeeper accredited by the University of Montana, Jason takes pleasure in imparting his insights to the community. It's important to recognize that beekeeping methodologies can diverge based on the local milieu, and the videos showcased on the Bohemia Apiary channel spotlight strategies tailored to Jason's specific bee colonies, rather than offering universal directives. While the principles addressed in these videos garner general approval from numerous beekeepers, it's equally imperative to lend an ear, make observations, and glean knowledge from your own bees as well as other beekeeping resources.
In Jason's own words, "Beekeeping is more than a hobbee, it's an obsession."

Hi Jason. Cooler today, but next two weeks looks spring like. Lost 4 of 37 hives. Have a great season.

11% losses is a great number. Hopefully the groundhog is right.

Thank you for your helpful videos. I'm less than an hour North of you in Delaware with some equipment I bought from you. This is my first winter. Hopefully I'll be able to call myself a keeper rather than just a haver. :) My two colonies seem to be doing well. I just swapped their candy boards and they seem strong. I have two 3 high nucs and another 10 frame hive all ready to split them into. I'm expecting these 5 colonies to be my cap...but we'll see. :)

That is awesome. Glad to hear you have some overwintered genetics coming out of this crazy winter. Definitely split them and make string bees.

On Eastern Shore too just 2 hours south of you. Pollen coming in red, yellow and cream colored. Some maples have started to bloom down here.

I'm in the Sussex County Delaware beeclub DBA the vice president Jim Hopkins lives in laurel delaware and says I'm a week or more ahead of him. From princess anne/pocomoke area where my hives are mostly the shore really narrows down compared to where you're at and the water affects an earlier spring. Go 1 hr into Virginia Easter shore and it's even sooner. I'm in a bee club there also. Some of your boxes came from Oliver Collins he's in 2 clubs with me GREAT GUY with huge amount of experience and knowledge.

Well, now I don't feel so bad. In Central Texas and I was trying to wait til March to get into the bees. Transfered a six frame nuc to a ten frame today and it went so well I'm going to transfer two or three 8s to 10s tomorrow. May just do a deep dive into all of them! Once you get back into the crack it's hard to stop yourself!

Still waiting for Mother Nature to break into spring here in N. Idaho. Yesterday it barely got over 45 but later this week the forecast is for more snow.....arrrggggggg.

It’s been a strange winter here also. I just hope when it’s done it’s done. Nothing like a week of pollen and nectar flowing followed by freezing temps to kill our bees.

Ha nice video, did u treat for mites in December
@BohemiaBees
@BohemiaBees 3 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yes we treat when the wether is above 40 but below 50 so they are not flying. And in December they are almost bloodless

Can I ask y you tape up gaps / ventilation but then give them a top entrance big hole for ventilation ?
@BohemiaBees
@BohemiaBees 3 ай бұрын
We have found The bees can manage a small ventilation hole. And in many cases we flip that inner cover over and eliminate the notch upper hole also. The tape is because I added a box and the propolis was hard from cold and bees won’t be able to seal it up so I’m giving them the some assistance since I just added space to their overwintering structure.
