@@rodneymiddleton9624 Like that idea. Tried wet towels a couple times. Didn’t work well but the screens have worked in the past. Maybe I’ll try that next time.

@@badassbees3680 sounds good.

@@LifeinLancashire About the same as you 6 here this morning, too.

Inside the house it was 68 degrees so, it felt quite chilly outside. Probably in the low 50s outside.

Yes, made a couple. Decided to leave them in instead of spending a lot of time using Premier Pro to edit them out.

I don't think they have but, he swallows them pretty fast. I occasionally see him get stung elsewhere on his body, tail or legs or they get in his hair an buzz which does cause him to do a little dance until he gets the bee out of his hair or gets a stinger out of his skin. I get stung now and then and it doesn't bother me much anymore. I've been pretty much immune to bee stings for a while now and I expect he is too.

So nice of you. Things are looking up after a few setbacks in beekeeping. On the bright side I have learned that in beekeeping there will be losses. But, there will also be recoveries.

Yes, I've had robbing for sure. But, I think there were other issues causing it. Not sure what. Pretty discouraged by my losses. These hives seemed to be doing well. Lots of honey and bees. While I was busy extracting honey and doing my other chores, then the rain came and keep me at bay. And, when I was able to check them it was too late.

Yes, there certainly is.

Good tip, I needed that.

If I had to do it over, I think I'd stay with the wand. As long as you only have a few hives and can get to them easily, the wand is great.

Wands are great for small beekeepers with only a few easily accessible beehives.

We didn't lose power but, did lose Internet. Some in our neighborhood did lose power. We got the Internet back last night. Had no idea how bad it was for so many people.

@@richardhyatt-beekeeping There’s no ETA for ours

Frontier told us our Internet would be on at 8:37PM 3 days in a row! 3rd day it came on about 9PM. I was complaining until I saw the news. Felt pretty bad about that after seeing the damage to our Western Carolina town and others. We had our house burn in 2016. It takes a minimum of 5 years to recover and even now we are discovering missing things.

It took a year and one month to get to 950 subs. We put water out in dishes and the birdbath for the bees. They come for it to hydrate the colony. Even in the rain sometimes. The flower were Cocks Comb. Or maybe the Asters. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, we were very lucky. A few trees down nearby but, we didn't lose power. Some of our neighbors did. But, I think everyone is back with power here, now. So many towns we know did not fair so well. We often visit those towns and know how hard hit they were just by looking at the photos.

Thank you.

So right!

Actually, this is the first year we have had such a large harvest. We do have a few from past years but, it is going to take some marketing to move this, I expect. It's still all got to be put in jars. No small task.

More on the way. Looks like it's going to go just west of us. I'm been extracting honey so, I haven't gone to check the Little Tennessee River on Otto, NC but, I bet it's almost up to US 441.

Yes, not to put it in jars and sell it. Whew, that will take some doing!

Got to do with what you have. Thanks.

Thank you so much.

Yes, bee prepared.

@@PaulsBees Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@allenreid62 Hope so, 1st year I’ve harvested this much.

@@willmartin792 I don’t need any more bees. Try your local club. Someone will want them, thanks. Let me know if you don’t find anyone.

Thanks for visiting❤

Bees sting me.

Yes, watching the bees gathering pollen is one of the best parts of beekeeping. Did not finish your post? > "...sell about 60 i..."

@richardhyatt-beekeeping sorry I did not we sale about sixty high quality nucleus colonys in early spring

@@ROD_OF_IRON Cool! I hope to sell a lot of nucs myself. And, maybe some complete beehives. I need to cut back on my "bee work load".

@@LilMxSwiss Wow, Glad you enjoyed it.

@@torkymokhlis439 Thank you youngster!😎👍

A tiny taste at a time.

Thanks, it's an interesting hobby or business. Lots go surprises.

Thanks I'm glad you are enjoying them.

I would suggest a couple things. Join the local beekeeping club. Read beekeeping books. Beekeeping for Dummies is very helpful and covers the basics. Take a beekeeping class. Now as far as convincing your wife goes...??? Hey, thanks for the comment.

@@richardhyatt-beekeepingthank you!

Thank you, Zoey.

Thank you,

Thanks ✌

It is fun, sometimes. Work other times.

Room to add honey and sugar syrup actually while the bees get ready for winter. Brood production should slow down soon., But, yes the existing brood will emerge shortly so, there will be more bees to the colony. Thanks.
