Or catch bee. Put in cooler full of ice, ready dental floss of 2-4 inches depending on size of bee. Make it big so bee flys slow. Half hitch around bee abdomen while bee is barley moving. Feed bee nice warmed syrup... follow it home.

I was under the impression that bees typically fly very far from the hive and then only begin gathering on their way back to ensure they get a full haul. I think it was a Cody's lab video lol

In the terms of energy conservation, you might consider wrapping your tank in rock wool insulation and adding a second shell of stainless. Maybe a little overkill, but it would keep that wax warmer for a longer period of time with less energy while heating.

Do you give your bees any pollen patties during the winter months? I hear some some no and other yes. I want to know whats best.
@jorikphillips81312 жыл бұрын
In our region of upstate NY it's not uncommon to experience extended periods of very cold (non-flying) days. For this reason we do not advocate feeding bees protein or other indigestibles where the bees will be forced to hold metabolic waste in their midgut for prolonged periods of time without a cleansing flight. It can lead to dysentery or exacerbate an otherwise mild Nosema infection.

This Spring (2021) a hive moved into a large stump next to our driveway. We had no idea it was had a large cavity in it. We are now in a dearth, so, I feed them sugar water. They are a gentle hive even in cloudy drizzly weather.

Brian, I know this response is 5 months after you were originally expecting one lol, but yeah you can set up swarm traps near wild colonies. Seeley actually details this in one of his books, "The Lives of Bees," though they had to hang the traps high up in the air to keep bears out...
