    What a great way to start out a morning learning there will be another Seth running around before long LOL . Bob I was noticing with the lower temps it did not look like from the video there was a lot of flight an that monster colony there near the beginning that was switched out with the dead out would that be enough to keep it from swarming with in the two weeks. Seth congratulations to you an your wife an what a great Blessing . Bob good morning an thanks for the video. Thanks

      Another Seth!! I hadn't thought about it like that.😊 These Colonies didn't have much drone brood yet but that's about to change. In most cases the colonies will wait for the drones to be coming on before preparing to swarm. I don't think that large colony will swarm that soon because they just had the shock of losing their entire field force.

    Seth, I'll pass along some helpful advice that was given to me 23 years ago. Sleep when he sleeps. It's tempting to stare at him while he sleeps, but if you do, he is getting more rest than you. That catches up to you pretty quick.

Seems like you have some nectar +polen + added putty + sirop. I wander around. Why not take bees+ queen from the very strong ones and try to see what happens. The queen less one should be able to recover…? Please come with a suggestion (teaching). Thank you Bob. From DFW Texas area.

  • @dcsblessedbees
    @dcsblessedbees 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Bob the bees made a small amount of early Spring honey last year that had a light color and light sweet flavor to it, with a hint of what I'd describe as cotton candy almost. Most of the sweet was on the front end and finished with that light almost cotton candy taste. It wasn't anything like the blackberry we get. Does that describe anything that you hay have tasted up here in the NW?

    Moving that strong colony to the dead out seems plausible, but just switching places on the same pallet how does that work? Seems like it wouldn't make a difference because the colonies are still next to each other.

    • @bobbinnie9872

    Ha Bob wonderful video, I really like seeing what you are up to in the bee yard, are you going to put out traps for the yellow legged hornet, and if so, what are you going to do for bait the sec question about the hornets are you going to be a distributer of the veto pharma traps and baite. I have found 1 place foxhound bee supply that going to be a supply store I have bought some but the baite is only good for 3 weeks and you have to replace it. They also are not available till march, they are pre ordered, so it is going to be very costly if a homemade baite does not work I had called last week, and u were out, and they gave me your John that has been there forever he was going to ask u when u got back but. he forgot to call me back. Again, thanks for the video, have a blessed day.

    Bob. I have a question in regard to doublescrean boards. I have never used them because I practice mainly walkway splits with my nice 6 frame hives. I am considering making 20 double screen boards and have some additional questions.
    How thick the board should be. I have different kind of hives (Insulated with feeders).
    Hence, mmly question might seem stupid but I wonder if bees start a queencell if you take frame with eggs and put it on top of the brood chamber divided by double screen?

      Yes, they are a meta 70mm jar lid that fits a standard mayonnaise jar. With that lid removed we can feed with jars or buckets. We use inside feeders when we want to to put on weight fast.

    Hey Bob,
    I have a question about you using migratory covers I am in the northeast Maryland and I had a few colonies with migratory covers 2 out of the 3 were super big but they died due to condensation and moisture problems in the hive. How do you keep your moisture levels down with migratory covers? Does the hole in the bottom board help?
    Thanks!

    • @bobbinnie9872

      I'm sure condensation is more of a problem in your colder weather. If I was up there I would consider using "Reflectix" insulation under my flat lid. It definitely helps. I don't know if our small holes in the bottom board helps or not.

    Hello Bob. They have grown up nicely and have a future.
    As we saw, you had experience with the Caucasian queen. Please let me know if it is worth investing in this direction. Thank you very much.

    Bob you hives look amazing! What ratio of sugar syrup are you feeding ? It looks pretty thin. I wish my bees look half as good as Yours !!! Thanks for the videos I love them

      Thanks. In this instance we are feeding 1 to 1 sucrose.

      In warmer weather we add 1 cup of bleach to every 50 gallons which will make it last about one extra week. We also only make what we can use within a day or two. @@NevadaBeeMan-nq3po

      I actually prefer it. It gives us a chance to do oxalic acid treatments with no brood.

    I thought you would be interested to know that for the summer of 2024 in the UK one of the main European breeders is offering a carnica/Caucasian queen. I can only presume that this is due to your influence. #needlemover
