Pre-Almond Pollination Hive Inspection - First inspections of the New Year- Beekeeping in California
Рет қаралды 5,011
Күн бұрынFollow along as Jose Uribe, a Northern California Commercial Queen Breeder and Beekeeper, heads to Butte County located in Northern California to do our pre-almond pollination inspections.
While in the bee yard, Jose shares three tips on the first things he does when arriving at the bee yard. These are the first inspections of the New Year in 2023 due to the record amount of rainfall we've received this past month, making the hives unworkable.
If you are interested in placing a 2023 queen order with us, please email in at thecaliforniabeekeeper@gmail.com or visit our website at www.thecaliforniabeekeeper.com.
If you are new to our channel, welcome! We are a small family-owned and operated micro-commercial apiary in Northern California. We've been commercial beekeeping for the past 14 years, but branched off and opened Uribe Honey Bees in January 2019 and then launched our KZfaq channel in April 2020. We specialize in queen breeding, pollination services, hive management, and brokering.
Thank you for watching and supporting us! We love you guys!

@@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper what we had lined up in Jan. fell through, we ended up sending them to Bakersfield. I was so happy with the way my bees looked mid Jan., they needed to get down there and get fed. they went down hill for a month before they went. still good, just not as good, and not as many

That means a lot. On New Year's Eve, we lost our boy Dante(my best friend, my fur baby) it was very hard on me. With Kelly's love and support, I found exercise to be my release and really brought joy and love back into my soul. Thanks! A smile is contagious and I believe that to the core. Thanks for watching.
