Kamon, using your instruction I just completed my first grafting/cell builder/mating nucs etc. and from 30 initial grafts successfully produced 15 mated queens. Thanks so much for what you do!
Nice work! Glad to help!
My June split was looking really weak / so I took a look at the other strong hive and found that they were making a capped Queen cell / so I took that frame and put it into the weak hive and now (4 days later ) I now see tons of foragers working from the weak hive. Love your videos
Great video Kamon!
Baling hay today so hitn the creek sounds like a good idea...if i only had one lol
Thanks for the video!
Good information!! I've been trying to be more efficient and move thru my hives quicker.
What is the recipe for your protein patties? How do you now when to feed patties vs. syrup? Thanks.
we have been 1/1 feeding for a few weeks setting dry pollen out too
Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful video. I am moving to Nashville today. I hope to be able to come and see you.
I am a hobby beekeeper in the UK and despite different climate and slightly different equipment too I really love watching your videos, and I learn great little tips and tricks all the time. I have been watching your videos on Varroa treatment and you mention doing a comparison video on all the different types of treatment but I haven't been able to find it, so is it something you will be doing this fall? So far I have been using MAQS strips but they can sometimes be a bit hard on particularly the open brood, so I am halfway counting on your video before I decide on what treatment to use for getting my bees in perfect shape before the winter. Thanks for all your great videos 😃
Thanks !!
Kamon, my bees get aggressive this time of year but yours seem fine . ?
Nice
I knew you were a smart man.....we keep Kroger Death by Chocolate ice cream ALL the time.
I keep my hives in double deeps. This year I harvested but left uncapped frames above the excluder. Some of these big strong hives are pretty dry below and seem to be saving the honey in the medium. Should I remove the super and start feeding? Some of my hives are better at getting or conserving nectar than others.
How often do you inspect each hive? And did your Spring flow end up better than you thought originally?
Did I see correctly that your super has only 9 frames? Also can you talk about any plants that you know of for your area that provides nectar during dearth
? My fall crop is much sought after. I'm urban but there are grapes and pears in the yard. In dearth times the bees will take grape and pear juice from falling fruit. The combination of that plus the goldenrod really has people going Yum Yum. I know fruit juice isn't honey but my customers don't care.
Are you going to have Nuc's to sell this year coming and will you ship to Harleyville S.C. just asking ? Like your videos, been learning a lot, thanks Kamon and your sweet wife she is so good with the camera !
Hey Richard thanks! Unfortunately we don't ship hives at this time.
When do you treat your hive for mites.
what do you do you use to treat for moths
Kamon, if you had a hive busting at the seams here in August and you live up North. You don't want them to swarm and it's to late to split could you take a couple of frames of brood and nurse bees and give it to a small nuc? Would they possibly kill the nuc's queen - if so would you do a newspaper combine?
I'd shake the nurse bees at the entrance and place one frame of emerging brood in the nuc without bees. Let the nurse bees walk in. 1 good frame of emerging brood will cover 2-3 frames once emerged
@@kamonreynolds Thanks Kamon. The nuc and the big hive are 4 miles apart so any foragers that I move will have to find a home and beg in also.
شي جميل 👍
Kamon, in your are what is the latest that you intentionally split hives?
1st of sept
How I inspect bees in hot weather: quickly. LOL
The girls are hanging outside the hive because it's 115F here today, and they're a little pissy about things. Better for them and for me if I go in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Do you have any queens available? And if so, how much? And do you ship to Winston Salem, NC ?
How does the excluder stay with the top box?
Lots and lots of bee glue!
Is it best to feed or not ? I do feed in Nc
Feed the 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝!
Great video. Are you raising queens now?
I have stopped but you can keep running queens till Late sept here
What size frame feeders do you use?
1 gallon. I recommend 2 gal though. Motherlode makes the best 2 gallons feeders so I hear.
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees do you put any sticks, bark, etc as floats to prevent drowning? Thanks
What brand of gloves are you wearing in this video?
Brushy Mountain gloves. They are out of business
i still cant figure why you dont get dead bees in your frame feeders.
🇹🇷🇹🇷👌👍
Kelly Beekeeping 👎🏻...I have a huge order I’ve been trying to place. The web sight isn’t letting me check out and nobody answers the phone when I call.
