I appreciate your dillema of when you pull, only you know that because your on the ball!!👍 Feeling that pressure versus excitement! Nice video Ian, you love that surge of bees! Nicely filmed! Brilliance!
I built me some escape boards like yours and they worked marvelously. Thanks for all the work you put into the videos and the willingness to share your years of experience, it has been so beneficial to me (a newbie) and I’m sure to others. Thanks again
That shot at 4:32 of the flash flood of bees coming back when the dam truck was moved was amazing! Really gives a visual of the energy in the yard. And a visual of how good you are getting at this video thing lol
Your videos blow my mind! Love your tips. Also love how you find an easy solution to increase productivity in the managemwnt of your hives from equalising, to quenn raising or feeding.. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your experiences to the rest of the world.
WOW, you probably cannot imagine the difference between your bees and the bees they prefer here in Ireland (black native bees BNB), I have now 7 hives (started with 1 last year) and just removed 2 BNBqueens, they had almost no honey a bit of pollen en virtually NO EGGS. Replaced them with Caucasian/Carnolian. The colony I started with has already brought in at least 8 frames of honey and in the hive is even more. HUGH DIFFERENCE. But your bees, and your knowledge.......... makes me speechless. Well done Ian and team
I understand I am in SE Oklahoma and we had a really wet cool overcast spring and then about a week of good foraging weather then strait into dearth ugh love what you are doing thanks
I have 4 yards out of the bunch in a straight line like that one. They all take the same time to work regardless if it’s a straight line or if it’s two shorter line either side of the truck but when we start working the lines, and look down to where we can hardly see the end, we are ‘like damn’ this will take forever LOL
17% .. uncapped! awesome! Just dropped another medium on one of my productive colonies. Stoked! We are starting to stall the other way now... we NEED rain so bad! Alleged T-storms tomorrow.. but the weather liars have said this before. :grin: Do you think it would make sense for me to put my emptys under honey boxes without escape boards? or does that not equate to the same production urgency? Thanks as always Ian!
Ha ha Ian nice flow I took down the suppers because we had a serious lack of rain here but..... It rained so hard two days ago and the flow started again because the sunflower was about to bloom I am basically surrounded by fields of it so I extracted the honey and i guess I will put suppers back Of course I am a hobbyist but this never happened to me to put back suppers at the end of july
You stoled the rains.. here the year is all dearth. Then you make as woch those 6 box hives... now my country man thinks Ian have a pool of shugar-wother in the woods
If you watched my progression, you should see me gradually pull back that slingshot until I couldn’t hold it any longer then shoot the bees into the flow POW, HONEY

Hello sir can you please tell me what lifting crane you are using it seems very practical. When i move my bee boxes i do it by hand 1 by 1 its killing me.. please help me by writing the name or brand of the lifting crane or make a video of it.Thank you
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog Always has nothing to do with reality. It was my thinking. My thinking was if the honey is uncapped it is not ready. Now, I know otherwise. Thanks
He adds it every year once he start stacking supers before the honey flow. Makes it much safer for the queen and therefore the colony, saves time during the harvest which equates to more honey pulled per colony.
Is it not about long day light, a sea of monocultur and probably very good bees.? I don't think he needs a pool of shugar wother. And when you think about it, it is 2 box of bees before the flow and the excluder
It just occurred to me that the way this all works isn't that different from how it was in The Matrix movie.

4:38 Oh wow... you move that truck and the whole horde lands. that was awesome
As soon as you moved that truck , hugh influx of bees at the entrance , great shot , good luck .

Is there a video Of escape board build ?
James Woenker Yes I would love to also learn how to make a bee escape board
This is the nearest video I could find th-cam.com/video/GC2p1qFz0Mk/w-d-xo.html
Link is of escape board and Ian explains how to use th-cam.com/video/uEs_6qG2hGA/w-d-xo.html

His bee escapes are shaped exactly like the Ceracell Bee Escapes

So cool watching the massive influx of bees to the entrance when you moved the truck. Shows exactly what you meant about holding pattern

Very well managed, Ian. I hope a lot will learn from you. Happy honey honey harvesting!
That's incredible honey Bandit,,,,,,
I don't know how to say it in English so it seems like God bless ربي يباركلك في رزقك
Nooo! Im two to three weeks behind you in Montana usually. Nothing yet. Maybe enough for one deep each hive for the winter 😅 17% ? Your one lucky guy
That's a nice looking yard right there!

At 4:47 that big white road block back up out of the road an was grand Central station 1000's going in the hive 👍😉

I was debating the practice of under supering with a friend the other day.
I do not under supering for many reasons
Awesome video. ❤️🐝
A family of hungry bears could get their fill there! Good luck with your harvest!
Ian, enjoyed the video, wish we had the strong flow here, that you have in Manitoba. If the nectar is there, the bees get if not they dont. Simple as.
Ian you are a inspiration. 🌱🌸🐝🍯
that was very intense when you backed the truck out , how they swarmed into their boxes
A little Tom Petty always makes the workday go by faster!
Ha ha Ian nice flow I took down the suppers because we had a serious lack of rain here but..... It rained so hard two days ago and the flow started again because the sunflower was about to bloom I am basically surrounded by fields of it so I extracted the honey and i guess I will put suppers back Of course I am a hobbyist but this never happened to me to put back suppers at the end of july
In central illinois this year is turning into a year without a dearth. Usually by now my bees are mean angry little bitches.
You stoled the rains.. here the year is all dearth. Then you make as woch those 6 box hives... now my country man thinks Ian have a pool of shugar-wother in the woods
Ian I have not seen that type escape. Do you have a video on this? I am hoping everything falls into place for you. Wishing you the best! Phillip Hall

Is it just me or is it crazy how one brood box of bees can support that many honey boxes?
It’s not the box of bees, it’s the preparation of that nest
If you watched my progression, you should see me gradually pull back that slingshot until I couldn’t hold it any longer then shoot the bees into the flow POW, HONEY
4:33 wow were they ever waiting for your truck to leave.
This summer is wet!

Hey, you found Carrie's hive tool!!!
I so wish I could talk farmers into planting Canola in Pa.
Canola honey isn't the nicest honey., though it is abundant.
Hello sir can you please tell me what lifting crane you are using it seems very practical.

As a hobbyist beekeeper, I always see uncapped honey in the frames as uncured or above 19%. I should do some field testing.
Always

After watching your operation for years, how can I get a jar of your magic honey?
Soon enough, I’m setting up an e-commerce website soon as I get a chance
How do you know you are not hauling away the queens?
The price of honey is going up or down ?
Ian, what's your average production of honey per hive in a year?
Massive Honey Crop.
Wow five/six honey supers !
Is canola typically dry (
Standard refractometer
Get the cheap one for like $20-30 us. I've compared with the expensive ones. Not much difference except the price.
Good stuff Ian, 👍
Do you custom make all you own pallets ?
what is the race of your bees
What breed
of bee do you have they seem so calm?
Carniolan
Why do the 3 middle frames get pushed tight but the rest are spaced?
The center frame is foundation, we push the frames closer together so the bees will only build on the foundation, not inbetween the frames.
@@carriemartindale-wetherup5243 So the remaining frames are drawn comb?
@@dwightcarter6334 yep, 8 frames of drawn comb 1 frame of foundation per honey super
@@carriemartindale-wetherup5243 Thanks!! Keep up the good work!

Is the screen something new? Never seen you use that before.
He adds it every year once he start stacking supers before the honey flow. Makes it much safer for the queen and therefore the colony, saves time during the harvest which equates to more honey pulled per colony.
@@julieenslow5915 how does it save time and how does it protect the queen?
The screen on top was ian just trying something. It did not work.
@@carriemartindale-wetherup5243 thanks Carrie, tell him to mention it in a video, inquiring minds want to know, 😁
ooo THAT screen! lol
Good Morning

So, 1 box of bees fill 5 deep LR of honey mhm yea right
Yep. To explain further I'd need to write a book. I have singles that do it too and mine are in a city.
Is it not about long day light, a sea of monocultur and probably very good bees.? I don't think he needs a pool of shugar wother.
And when you think about it, it is 2 box of bees before the flow and the excluder
Can I no the flower name sir
The yellow flowers is canola. It's a crop used to make cooking oil.
Thankq so much sir

Sir is any tree famous for honey
Do those college kids even know who Tom Petty is?
These ones do lol
Such a "geat" roled model to follow? ... no thanks.
