love the flatbed and the pallet lifter combo. Really looking forward to seeing how your new set up works next year. what sort of hive count will you be looking for by the end of 2025?, all things going well?
Happy Sunday - although It never stops for you does it? I agree syrup is fine if temps are right never mind the month. The climate is changing , the bees adapt and we need to too in our management
Still have syrup on a few colony’s which are still taking it down, there was a good ivy flow locally so most are at a good weight. I do have fondant ready also, but I don’t put it on unless they heft light as I find they will eat the fondant even if they have stores left lol…
@@paulf4424 I agree but it does pay to shop around. Globally prices of sugar have fallen but there is a lot of suppliers Beekeeping wise, they have a lot in stock and they’re not gonna drop until they’ve shifted what they’ve got so you have to shop around if it’s worth it the problem is we’re all driving 20 5080 km to get a deal and the reality is you’re not saving any money you’re just creating it to work for yourself and burning more Fioul to get cheaper sugar which isn’t cheaper in the long run. You’re absolutely correct.
That pallet lift is definitely a game changer for you 🙌
Dunno Rich, looks like that syrup can go straight to the bottling machine lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant Richard thank you
I can barely handle six. Good for you
Am feeding again today too. Course you can
I've fed bees is January and February In Wisconsin and it get's much colder here
Watering can for feeding all the best
I've been using just syrup. There's not a lot of difference between the price of sugar and syrup at the moment. Personally, syrup is the best option.
