    Well at least King Bob is the sponge. You can wear it at night and have sweet dreams knowing that beekeeping is a virtue. The sponge is just used for cleaning and is then thrown away! Really Bob you have many admirers. My admiration is not for the great business or the excellence in beekeeping that your team is but the fact that you have taught us all how to be better people in our communities.

    This year I planted/grew from seed, California poppy and bachelor buttons in huge patches. The honeybees have been all over them and they have continuously bloomed all summer - a big plus. Have been collecting seeds from both but fighting the goldfinches for bachelor button seed heads as they are gobbling them up faster than I can get out to harvest. Might be a nice addition to your flower beds next year.

    With EVERY…..and I mean every…..method, tactic, option, way of doing this, way of doing that, strategy, approach, technique, system, or what have you…..
    There are pros. And there are cons.
    This is why beekeeping is NOT for the indecisive. 😁

    I like escapes rather than other means of removing 🐝 usually also…usually…less handeling seems to = less casualties usually.
    Even to just remove a single frame with 🐝 on it I’d prefer adding a super with exits rather than shaking off 🐝(‘s).
    Gonna feature use of exits on my TH-cam channel also.

    Hi Bob! You could try without cold storage. On the bottom should be some kind of inner cover with expanded aluminum grid (it's something that we in Europe use a lot), then stack supers like you did on pallets. On top another inner cover (like shim with expanded aluminum grid) and then cover on top. Some beekeepers put on top on last super some jar with formic acid to prevent wax-moth, some put only 9 frames per super... that's for everyone to find out for himself. All the best!

    the farm where I have my bees has sunflowers. The bees are all over them. There are three patches about 6 acres each. They make more money growing those than growing their pick your own foods. People come in to pick the flowers or get engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Apparently it's a big thing in parts of the country.
    All I know is I put supers on and after checking yesterday, they are slowly being filled. I hope they fill them before the japanese knot weed begins to bloom. I want a nice sunflower honey.

    How often do you run 8 or 9 frames in a super?

    • @bobbinnie9872
      @bobbinnie9872  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Once the frames for our medium size honey supers are drawn out they are all put in boxes with eight frame spacers. None of our deep boxes get spacers because they may get used for brood chamber boxes which we always run with ten frames.

    Hello Bob. Great video.
    Question. Aren’t all, or at least most, Caucasian queen bees black or grey in color? And don’t they produce bees that are grey and or black in color?
    I ask because I ordered a Caucasian queen from Winters Apiary and both the queen and bees looked like Italians? Please share your thoughts. Grateful.

    • @bobbinnie9872
      @bobbinnie9872  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I asked Sue Cobey this question about color when she was the person bringing in Caucasian semen from The Republic Of Georgia. She answered that although most Caucasian bees are dark, gray or mixed, occasionally a bit of yellow can show up because on the Turkish side of the country there is more yellow in the Caucasians. Our breeder queens tend to be dark and although some yellow may occur I would question large amounts of yellow.
