Your probably the only beekeeper that is easy to understand and very detailed about how to handle bees. I have been to 4 bee clubs and seriously all my education has been self taught or watching your tutorials. Thanks for helping us new beekeepers to learn our passion while giving the bees a fighting chance.

I am always amazed that you work the bees with no protection.

@David_Talks. 13 күн бұрын

I just started a new hive(cordovans) and did my first protection free inspection. Open the hive and switch feeders each day with no gear but this was a true inspection. It was a totally different feeling and I was much more conscious of everything but it was also super rewarding and made me feel closer in a sense to them. 🙏 Edit: no stings from them yet and I say a lot is due to guys like this teaching how to move

Paul, Fantastic video on comb building. Can you explain your process and what you are looking for to ensure the hive doesn’t become honey bound when you are feeding your new colonies in the Spring? In addition, while I have seen your video on feeding prior to Winter, do you ever feed your established colonies in the Spring? Thanks again for all your great videos. We’ve made a donation to your new Honey Bee Research Center because your work is so critical. Thank you.

@UoGHoneyBeeResearchCentre 4 жыл бұрын

Well gee thanks CavalierSpan! We sure appreciate your support and your kind comments. In a situation like in this video with new equipment we stop feeding when the main nectar flow comes on and the comb in the brood chamber is completely built. It would have been different if the comb was already built as you could create a honey bound condition by overfeeding. In our conditions we don't normally have to feed in the spring. This year is different as the bees started brood early when it was warm and then we had a lot of cold weather so the feed was consumed quickly. We fed what we hope is just the right amount until the weather gets the flow going. Not an easy thing to get right when you don't know what mother nature has in store! Cheers!

Hi Paul, Thanks again for another great informative video. I'm just starting out here in Australia and you seem to just know how to answer all my questions. I started late in the season with a cut out from an upturned bath in a field. I'm feeding with a Ceracell top feeder and using 50/50 Sugar syrup at the moment to try and build the food stores. Will possibly switch to a stronger 2/1 mix soon. I'm interested to see how it all goes. All in a ten frame full depth single brood honey box at the moment. Checking every few days to see how the syrup is taken up so as to know how much to feed. Great, great info thanks for taking the time to post this, Cheers, Nigel

I have tried putting foundation frames between drawn frames in a super before, but I find that the bees draw out the existing comb to fill the space instead of drawing out the foundation. Not sure if that's because I have plastic super frames or not. Thank you for the invaluable knowledge in these videos. It was one of my main sources of beginner info when getting started, and I still refer to them often.
