Why can you not put patties on top of 2nd brood box and liquid feeder over top? aka - is there a specific reason to put patties between boxes?

Did that frame have open brood?

There were eggs/larvae on the frames.

Why not just put supers back on after Spring harvest and let the bees fill those to live off during dearth?
@mannlake 2 күн бұрын
You can use that method as well if you would like.

Hello, is the pro vented suite good enough for yellow jackets and hornets? Thank you
@mannlake 2 күн бұрын
This suit will offer protection against yellow jackets and hornets, however, no suit is 100% sting-proof.

I use stir sticks from Walmart and give what I call taste test. That's the hook, if I can get them to try it they buy it.

Do you have to worry about the sugar fermenting and the sun?
@mannlake 2 күн бұрын
It can be a concern. Using a product like ProHealth in your syrup will help prevent fermentation.

So no mite test before treating? How do you know you need to treat?
@mannlake 2 күн бұрын
Testing was recommended in the last edition of the West Beekeeper's Buzz. It is always a good idea to know your mite level before treating.

My mentor has 80 hives and they all have honey. There’s lots of wildflowers, mesquite, cactus, all kinds of stuff for them. He hardly ever feeds them. He extracted 1100 pounds of honey this year and says it’s much less than he normally gets

We are sorry to hear that. Although not everywhere in the region certain areas have experienced more rain than others in the region. Too much can be a bad thing in this case.

How do all the bees that were in the 4 supers fit into only 2 deeps??
@franklicata836 Ай бұрын
They fit.lol..they might be tight, and will beard on hot days, but they rarely will swarm as they aren't raising a lot of brood, aren't bringing in much pollen/nectar so there isn't congestion in the hive.

I do this technique and one thing you forgot to mention; you will have drones emerging in the top medium super and you have to crack the top to let the drones out cuz they are trapped above the excluder.

So how do feed with a Top Bar hive?
@mannlake Ай бұрын
A boardman entrance feeder works well with top bar hives. Actual use will depend on how your hive is built. Using a follower board within the hive to create an "entrance" to insert the feeder works well.

The easiest split I've seen. I am only into this beekeeping about 6 months. I have one swarm trap with a small colony and two hives that seem to have captured two different swarms as well. I am going to wait at least a week before I open it. Thanks for an excellent video.

Keep in mind that if you allow them to requeen themselves she will not be laying for almost a month, which could be too late.

I had been running single deeps and went back to doubles this year. I don’t like them. When should I break them down to singles again? After I harvest in a couple of weeks and home they request,or wait until spring and buy queens.?
@mannlake 2 ай бұрын
You have two options depending on your location and how much time you have before winter. 1 - Split your hive now into two singles, just make sure you have ample time to get the hive ready for winter. Depending on your location, you may have to buy a queen, rather than raising one, to allow enough time for her to start laying and the hive to build up for winter. 2 - Overwinter in the double deeps and make splits in the spring.
