Spring Time for Honeybees
มุมมอง 133 ปีที่แล้ว
Honeybees begin preparations for the coming honey flow. This is first demonstrated by their collection of pollen. Spring time for bees is not displayed on a calendar and does not coincide with spring time for humans. Small preparations of new equipment for an apiary expansion are presented.

It’s doing something….
I wanna seevthe rest of the video. Haha i played this video twice just to see what was going on
Unfortunately my camera battery died but I will upload what I did get recorded.
@@lonniemedaris7870 oh that sucks. I hate when that happens.
The ball hitch isn't meant to take a lot of force. Better to make connection into the receiver channel
Wow that takes a long time. The homemade drag we have is chain pulled with three blades. It's just 4 in pieces of angle iron to make up the three blades and a couple of 6-in pieces of angle iron on top that make the rails front to back. It's heavy enough that it doesn't need to be weighted. And because you drag it with chain it lays flat on the ground. And because it has three blades it can't dip in front or back it floats flat. The second and third blade fill any roots or holes. Much more effective and stable than one or two blades. Super easy and cheap to make. I mean the welding takes 15 minutes after you cut the five pieces to length.
I promise I'm not spam or anything, moving back home to southern Ozarks and have about a quarter mile dirt road that goes uphill to the house I'm remodeling. Would you mind sending me pictures of what you've made? I'll leave my email address if you reply, thank you so much for your time!
I agree cheap and easy to make. But this was free.
I built a lot of those for the oilfield. Great for cleaning up a location and after a fain,drag the dirt roads.
Definitely works good for the dirt roads especially after a rain.
Great
Made one has rear wheels to adj. Hight. I do not have it but side plates would hold more to fill lower spots
It is very narrow and not too heavy so the smallest amount of uneven ground will cause it to float and dump dirt unnecessarily. It may be an issue to pull with my little truck if I add much weight to it.
Very cool video!! Makes me want to fix my tool room. Thanks for sharing!!
Work shop, tool room, man cave... the adjustments, development, innovations, modifications, revisions, transformations, and variations... some day I'll get it just perfect!
Wow that is so amazing.. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks and your welcome!
While you’re at it, you should move a certain white vw bug to Phoenix! 😬😬😬
Lol. I sent that first message before getting to the end of the video!!
Yeah... but the Chevy has an engine in it!
@@lonniemedaris7870 dammit! 😞
Very interesting watching the yellow jackets in this hive.
Yes, not what I expected... This was my first experience with any large number of yellow jackets. Expected to be stung considerably more than just the one sting. But they did get a lot of smoke and were only robbing out the hive - not building a nest.
That's exactly what I was looking for. Did you put any weights on it?
The top rail is 8 inch steel channel so 8x8x16 CMU Block (cinder block) will nest for additional weight but the ends are open and the block will eventually fall off as it works towards the edges. Will have new video coming next few weeks with dimensions, modifications for additional weight, etc...
Like any blade that cuts, there is an appropriate “cutting speed”. I think you’re driving too fast, if the blade jumps, you’re just making a mess.
True, but have to maintain enough speed to avoid the engine stalling out.. pulling with a manual transmission/4 cylinder combination with a high rear differential gear ratio. Further it is very light weight for its intended purpose, probably less than 200 pounds and only about 5 feet wide, which surely contributes to all the "jump" at the cutting edge. I do appreciate your comment - Thank You!
@@lonniemedaris7870 hi, sorry for my bad english.... congratulations, i really enyoy the video and your efford. i have spent at least 3 years now, triing to keep a rustic road in a aceptable conditions, triing pulling with mi nissan diesel 4x4 all kind of stufs... since tires, logs, pieces of steel, etc... NOW, i have a very good idea of whats next for me! i'll try with a 9 feet wide blade, and at least with a 700 pouds of weight (with lot of concret on it), and will try to gen my road smoot finally... hope my truck is strong enuf to do that.... i'll try to make some videos.... regards!
@@pepepinzas Let me guess ,you remember the beer and forgot the video huh? I like this guy
