Will do! Thanks my man👍
When a channel tells me to sub in the first 30 seconds I rarely do...maybe I will this time maybe not :) I love Cali ;)
Yay a Calif beekeeper video. That 1 bee, lol
Cheryl, so awesome you found our channel and thanks for watching
I like your vids but I live north of Seattle so some of your stuff I have to adjust for climate. but what I enjoy the most is seeing your son in his beekkeping suit helping out; bet he will be running that operation sooner than you think. best to you and the family.
Great info. Thanks for the videos.
Glad you like them! We will keep them coming Tom
Great Video I’m from NorCal as well only have 15 colonies, really appreciate you sharing info, i need all the help I can get. Lol. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching. We got you👍📹🎬
I've heard some people claim that beat sugar is harder on bees or bad for bees compared to the normal cane sugar and other types. Curious to ask if you knew anything on this, or if its true.
Thanks.
The bee yards are pretty in the video. I can see why someone might like to be out there, with no people, so much room.
Interesting video! I've had a bee chase me in the house, then when I figured it had returned to hive and came out, it was waiting for me on the back porch! Lol wth?
Hahaha We can totally relate to those types of situations. Some older bees can flat out be so mean. 🤷🏻♂️😄
Same. Me too
Hello have a question how many frames of honey do you like to see in a double deep before you drop feed on them? In my second year and have 15 Colonies and as you know climbing very quickly. But just wanted to get your advice.
Ideally I want the bees to have 6-7 frames of honey stores at all times
This is unrelated to feeding, but I have a uncapped nectar question. I pulled all my supers 6 weeks ago to treat mites with APIVAR. Next week I can put the supers back on. Some frames had uncapped cells when I removed them so I was wondering if the bees will take care of any nectar that may have fermented. Or should I be aware of anything when it comes time to extract once the frames are all capped. Thanks and hope to hear from you! I'm in Sac BTW and just a backyard beekeeper.
Likely the bees will take care of anything they dont need or cant use. Should be now problem.
Great content and beautiful apiary.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the kind words🙌
Do selectively breed honey bee queens ?
Great video, thanks. Request: If you could make the video shorter, it would be great. 25 minutes is a little long for a busy person. Thanks again. Lots of useful information. 👍
Thanks for the tip! We will have to remake one on this topic! Be sure to subscribe for more!
I’ve watched 100’s of videos about beekeeping and this is the first time I’ve heard of white frost. Thank you!

If they won't take feed add more sugar..if you want them to take it, guaranteed,least for me.Good Video Man Good Job 👍
That's a great tip. I'll have to try that in our area and see what they do. Thank for watching 👌
@@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper it works for me at least.. glad I found you I'm enjoying the videos
Hey man you are the first dark beekeeper I have seen in America.😂
Really!? I don’t know if I should say thanks or sorry that they don’t let you out of the house much. Thanks for watching though Zuniga🤙🏼
Do you put anything in your syrup to prevent it from going bad? Or do you only make enough to be used in a short time frame?
Tyler, I rarely make my own syrup but when I do it's just enough to get us buy. We buy our syrup from Dadant and sometimes Mann lake depending where we are working.
With all that capped honey what would happen if you did also feed them
No harm done, they will just storenit and use it when the need. Also keep in mind that queen needs laying room. Thanks for watching Randy.
How did you put the numbers on the tops of your frames? Is it a wood punch?
We use a wood brand
Hey Jose, I notice a ufo of some sort to your left our right on 5:44. White dot Wizz by your head pass behind tree brush then goes straight up. Check it out if you haven't noticed.
🤔 Looks like a geese, there is a pond up the road that has so many geese. I dont know🤷🏻♂️

Hey how often do you extract honey when they are on their nectar flow
Usually once a year
Thank you
