Hello Ian, I really like your management practices and how everything thing works together for the ranch. The clover is awesome, especially how it helps the bees, cattle, and soil. Thanks for your time.
Wish we could send you some of our northern Alberta rain. We still have most of our hay uncut due to constant rain.... It must stop soon I hope lol.....
The air is thick with bees, they are really on the hunt for honey. It would be great to get a look at the clover field to see just how much there is in bloom. I hope you get some good rain soon, we are hoping for much the same with inland Australia in a heavy drought. -Kieran
So.... clover? lol I like what you're saying about soil building at the end.. Ever consider some targeted foliar feeds to improve fertility / accelerate photosynthesis?
Our fireweed flow her is almost over, Its the end of summer here in Alaska. I planted a patch of white clover and the bumble bees took it over, The bumbles are now going back into the ground for winter. So mine are starting to hit it regular now.
Have been enjoying your videos and am very impressed with your process based approach to your honey business. What do you do with wet frames after extraction? We hobbyists return the wet supers above the crown board to let the colony clean down any remaining honey, then remove the dry supers to storage. Can't envisage that being appropriate to your large - scale operation.
Ian, what do you do with those seconds which contain some fresh nectar? You cant harvest it and you cant leave it in the shed in winter because of its humidity. Thank you!
@@danskisbees7348 I'd seen those videos of the indoor winter storage thanks for the recommendation. I couldn't remember if it was all singles he ran. I'm thinking about trying a few singles this winter to run as singles next year
Even in the news cycle where everything is about the assassination (cough... cough..I mean suicide of Jeffery Epstein) in a jail cell while on 24-hour Suicide Watch, I found the time to break away and enjoy a post from my second favorite beekeeper. Of course i am my own favorite. You don't think that is too narcissistic do you? Hopefully you are getting those widespread rains you wanted this afternoon and this evening (Saturday, August 10, 2019).

Ian it seems like you have the honey production figured out completely!

I hear that
Hey Ian you're not getting no more rain coming through there. Maybe freezing rain but one thing for sure you going to get some snow. Lol

We don't have cattle, but we did plant a plot of sweet clover. Very thankful to have it through the dearth.
Thanks Ian. We appreciate it. Your wisdom flows like your honey.
Sir you're amazingly cool. Making video for us in this war like situation. Its difficult to stop robbing .
I just amazes how fast you can get those boxes on the truck.

on your partial piles that the tarp wont cover, have you tried setting a bee escape on upside down so they cant get in.

Yukon Jeff, Ian planted Sweet Clover, Melilotus, not Trifolium. It’s my number one honey plant here in West central Alberta. Blooms til freeze up
Why do you take off the honey and then feed them? Is it impractical to leave some honey?
Incredible how quick and heavy ur honey season is
What do you do with frames that are partially capped and partially filled with nectar?
So that last little bit with the flowers, was that the clover? What kind?
What kind of clover is this?
Sweet Yellow and White Blossom Clover. It’s a biennial in cooler climates like Canada. In South Carolina where I live, it blooms in first year.
Hi Ian. Do you have a fall Goldenrod bloom? If so. Is it a significant flow?
JB harp ya it’s canola up there! Lol

I’ll feed Into it then have the yard Robb out the boxes before coming back to storage
Have you heard of anyone trapping forager bees in a dearth to reduce unneeded numbers?

You are a vary smart man
Do you run single brood boxes thru winter. Thanks for the video
Cornbread & Bees
Yes
You should check out his winter videos, he has them in a building with a nice ventilation system to help control the moisture and everything.

Bee unemployment makes them desperate. Perhaps some repellent on your tarp?
Chris Turley
Na, just hustle in the bee yard
NOT FUN! (ie robbing) lol
