Hello everyone from Reeder Ridge Apiaries

Cool t-shirt Greg. This just popped up on my TH-cam honeybee app. Tried to look it up on Fred's website but I could not find it. Do you or Fred have a link to find and buy one? Thanks

I always start off working in my apiaries by playing this Taj Mahal jam on Spotify. Righteously by Anna Ash usually comes to next.

Hello Greg and Bruce! I am really looking forward to that Wisconsin Conference and catching up with everyone there! :) I appreciate the TAG and mention :) Wishing you all the best!

Is that Brian on harmonica?

Greg , being able to spend EVERYday in Gods creation playing with bees is living the dream! You guys are Awesome and look foward to tuning in every week

They approved OA treatments are allowed now with honey supers on up in Canada

Got the Canadian coming do ya 😂

Great job 👍🏼

What does the eucalyptus oil do. Does it attract or repel the SHB.

Wanna sell me a couple next year and ship to Canada for me ?

YOU SHOULD TRY FACING 6 QUEENS LIKE THE SHAPE OF A CELL… THEN THEY CAN SEE WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO VIA THEIR ANTENNAE. PEACE…

The Pepto Pink Queen that I got in the nuc from you last month is booming. She's laying tons of brood and the temperament of the hive is very calm.

Are these mated queens or virgin queens

Who thought a duck was being cured from the thumbnail

Use ratchet straps with a weighted foundation. Good job being a Christian who is proud of Jesus. I am in Adams county,Ohio. I love Jesus too!

If you have other hives around it, you should take a chair and sit right before night there in front.. late afternoon.. and see if you see bees fly home from the other hives. I seen it with mine some times .. especially if it's a split made from those hives in a yard. Sometimes they are so smart and are able to trick them for months that they are their bees because they started from them and immediately the next day they start slow robbing. They even spent nights in both hives but keep taking the honey from one to other. It's very difficult to see. The best chance is before night because they are the last bees flying and you can clearly see them fly from entrance to entrance. But there's a number of them doing only that all day long and they even teach others how to do it. You will never see it if you're not there at the right time

Did the queen lay brood all through that big hive?

I'm definitely gonna want a queen from that monster hive Greg.. I'm in Riverside, close to Dayton.. will drive over and pick up.. I'm very interested in one or three of your waxed boxes also. Please Keep us posted on the monster queen project.

Eucalyptus repels the bee

By placing boxes of drawn comb on a strong colony between two boxes of brood forces the queen to lay that box up with brood. This is normal. You end up with a monter colony.

I use 4 grams vapour and I do 5 treatments in 2 weeks I’m happy you guys are allowed to finally be able to use it now

Thanks for tagging me in this, the tablets sure do make it easy. I'm glad they were able to get this passed. Wishing you all the best :)

Yeh! On the 110v cord vap the tablets won’t stick in the silicone cup like powder so when I turn it over so the whole dose will come out wow

Plastics in beekeeping, plastics in the sea on land, in the air, and in us. We can all do a little to stop this! Great video Thanks

i learned about it at uncle freds channel!!!! have to give it some good thought! i clicked that link and it is you site do you all work that out together??????

Thanks, Greg, for your support and your customer's support as well. Beautiful Family and a Beautiful Shop. God Bless

Great product just got some last week from you. Thanks 😊

I looked at this yesterday when I was at your shop, I should have got a pack.

Jezda Pcelar.. an old channel. In a black locust forest. A Balkans forest. Look at those skyscrapers.. 10 or more pounds of honey per frame in the boxes with 7 frames only. No excluders because queens don't like 7 frames spacing. And you know how short a black locust flow is.. That's what we can do in a good year but it's getting more difficult every year

Since we started using cages for brood breaks together with that we learned how to produce superseded queens. Now I'm grafting 50% of my queens and force supersede the other 50%. People won't like it but the grafted ones are worse.. in average ofcourse. The superseded queens are made from a bigger egg because the queen can't lay as much as she wants and has to keep her eggs in. And the cells are made ,maybe 5 with a hive full of bees that emerged and had nothing else to feed.. and the brood box is now a pollen box so the conditions can't be better.

It is time to break the hive down and graft from the queen. How much is the genetics of the queen worth to your breeding program? I have a hive that I need to make some nucs out of to make daughter queens. Pull several frames eggs for grafting while in the hive.

Awesome .thanks

Do you worry about the queen being superseded after your honey pull?

Can you pin Brian’s channel in the comments?

Emergency

If you want some Queens off the queen in there you really need to do something with it because the queen in their will get superseded or she will swarm and you won't even know it. I have one and still have it I have done made three new colonies not counting the original hive and she is starting a new one now and the original one is still 4 deep

just to help silence those crickets I will comment. In my opinion a Queen cell is a Queen cell no matter where or why it is there.

Emerecy q cell inferiour swarm are the best, super ceder is 2nd as being good

You need the chucky 😅

Grow them mushrooms 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fun guy 😂😂😂😂😂

Bruce you make sure you look after that army vet I hope he enjoys his time I think you just changed his life ❤

Season is great in Nova Scotia flow is just starting and it’s been great weather

The production value of your videos is top-notch. It's clear you put a lot of effort into them.

Greg all the possibilities of things you could do with the monster hive are great but don't split them down until you have time to study this hive and learn all you can. Also graft a bunch of queens from the queen that is in that hive so you can continue learning about what is going on. You have an awesome opportunity. The bees are telling you something.

Know where your cluster is. This has killed queens. If the queen is right next to that vent, she’ll get way too much vapor to the face and come out soaked in crystallized acid. Ask me how I know.

It’s the simplest of things that brings the greatest joy, good food, good friends and good conversations are a big part of my life!!!

looks delicious!!

Them bees aren't going to check themselves, Greg. Leave the food alone hahahahha
