I don't keep bees but I have researched a lot, so most of these terms were familiar to me. Bee Bread was a new one for me though, so even though I nerd out on these things, I still learned something! Good luck with your bee adventures!
Harshman Hills *No. You don't want your bees warm in the winter. Warm bees are active bees. They will run through their stores and starve. Cold doesnt kill bees in the winter. Your big winter killer is condensation in the hive. They can survive cold, but not wet.*
I'm volunteering to sample any future batches of honey you produce :-) I'll even go so far as to test "every" batch! Hey, what are friends for, if we don't help out!!! Good luck to you!

Thanks! There’s so much to learn! Can’t wait!

Can you put a small greenhouse over a hive in the winter to help keep them warm to survive the winter?

Glad you knew the answer!
Enjoyed your video 🤗
*Feel free to message me if you have questions. I LOVE helping people with bees!!*
Thanks! I’m interested in not just honey, but all the products I can make from bees, like candles and mead!
*I haven't made Mead yet, tho I plan to. I render my wax and make beauty products with it. I tincture the propolis for medicinal uses.*
How do I get ahold of you if I have ?'s
*Nice video.*
Awesome!
