What we do to keep our bees growing.

- When most people think of beekeeping, they think of honeybees producing honey. But did you know that there are other important roles bees play? In this video, we show how beekeepers work with almond growers to make sure that honeybees are brought in for pollination. During this time they need to be carefully taken care of despite the abundance of natural resources. It's a fascinating process!
If you are interested in placing a 2023 queen order with us, please email in at thecaliforniabeekeeper@gmail.com or visit our website at www.thecaliforniabeekeeper.com.
If you are new to our channel, welcome! We are a small family-owned and operated micro-commercial apiary in Northern California. We've been commercial beekeeping for the past 14 years, but branched off and opened Uribe Honey Bees in January 2019 and then launched our TH-cam channel in April 2020. We specialize in queen breeding, pollination services, hive management, and brokering.
Thank you for watching and supporting us! We love you guys!

Thanks!
Chris! Thank you so much for that contribution we appreciate it so much😃
Jose, I'm a beekeeper in Magalia, just east of Chico in the foothills. I have 6 hives at my house, 2 in Chico at the moment(usually 6, had 4 die out last fall) and 2 at my sisters house in Chico. I got her husband interested in a hive at their house a couple of years ago. He bought one of his own last year.I think he's got the bug.I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Your growers are going to be super happy with those bees.
🐝🐝the student has surpassed these masters! I wish you happiness and success. good luck for the season.🌹🌹🐝🐝
I’m glad y’all not caught up in all that flooding and deep snows . I’m watching this video and is making me jealous! LoL! I’m waiting for warmer weather so I can do some splitting! East coast ! Prince George, Virginia.
Hey there, Christian. unfortunately, we are getting nailed by atmospheric rivers one after another this was just before the first storms rolled in. we are praying that we are able to get to Arby’s sooner than later, because they are explosive the first warm day I know that we may lose some of them into the trees swarming 😕
Hi from Ibiza island Spain, I’m a hobbyist beekeeper since 1984, and impressed with the scale you guys are operating
I LOVE theese little creatures❤️🐝🌹and CAN'T LIVE without honey!it's my ONLY sugar that I eat*,no refined sugar,or any type of alternative for sugar-

Thank you for supporting our Veterans!
Our pleasure! We owe our veterans for all of their service to our beautiful country
Your son straighten you up about the "BUGS". I'm happy you are back,
Great work ❤
Jose, you do okay on your videos(ha ha), but that Max is a real treat. I love how involved he gets in your operation and videos and knows exactly what's going on at such a young age. Good luck getting that young man to want anything other than being outdoors with his dad for years to come. Can he be in charge of picking my queens from you guys when they're ready?
Hey hey 😅 I don't want to be out of a job yet😂
We appreciate those kinds and words towards Maximus. He will grow up to be a standup hardworking gentlemen. If he is around we will let him select which queens go to you. He will be catch up hng queens in the near future, we know it! He loves those beea and queens. Thanks again!
Jose, Love your videos! awesome seeing the boss in them also!!!
More to come! thank you so much we appreciate you 🤙
❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻great video, lil man is growing, won’t be long he’ll be taking charge.
He definitely has the passion and love for the bees. Thanks Kajun
Good thing ya doing for the veterans Jose. Thanks for sharing! Bees look strong and happy!
We believe in this to the core, important to give back to our community and our veterans. Because of them we live in this free country.
We hope to inspire beekeepers big and small to join. Even inspire regular folks to give back to our veterans. Thanks friend😃
Another big 👍🏼!!! Great having Steve back. Max saying Happy Bees 😁😁
Nice work. Great video
Appreciate you dropping a comment friend. Thank you
Beautiful 🐝!!! Thanks Jose, Maximus and Steve!!!
Thanks buddy👍
Jose&Kelly, great video! Max is so cool and outgoing. I can see him talking over your business as soon as he’s out of high school. He’s paying close attention and is going to know so much!
Don! He sure is. We do our best to instill core values we believe in. With Gods guidance we know he will be the best Maximus he can be. Thanks Don
They are not bugs! 🤣 😂 That's awesome that he already cares that much about bees.
He cares so much😃
The best little beekeeper we know🤠
Dios te bendiga colega como estas que tal la familia soy el muchacho de nicaragua que te escribia
Hola amigo🤙
Very nice faramig
Max is becoming quite a little helper. Go Max!!
"Looking Good" "Like it Should"
Love it. Max is awesome!
Great stuff Jose!
Always enjoy watching your videos and especially the pollination ones.
Max had the right idea with the candy. I've got a bit of a sweet tooth myself. Of course you'd never know it by looking at my petite little figure. 🤣😂
Thanks for sharing
Glad you like them! Maximus definitely has a sweet tooth just like me🤦🏻♂️
hey, a little treat doesn’t hurt anybody long if you work hard brush your teeth later 😆
Hives for Heroes is a fantastic program!
Steve the founder of Hives for Heros came up with something great to help support our veterans
One nice thing about putting pollen patties on them during almonds, it balances out their diet some plus the excess food is there if they need it. Seems logical to me Jose, I like how you think.🤔 😁Thank you for another great video.👍
Yes DC, beekeeping doesn't have to be to complicated. Decide what you need from the bees and plan out the game plan. Then execute it
Enjoyed the video. Looks like a great day. So awesome to have Steve out working with you. Max is getting big.
This day was fun. Maximus didn't have school and asked if he could join us. Always special watching him enjoy his bees. Thanks Brian
Mixing family, work, and making it fun. Great video. I think Maximus needs his own TH-cam channel… THERE NOT BUGS…….
Wes, I dont know if we are able to manage two channels. One is hard enough and growing the business. That's a great idea though. Thanks my man🤙
Great video, it is great to see Steve again and Jose a big thumbs up for you to be supporting Hives for Hero. As for Max, I just love seeing him in these videos. As Ian said, "The Boss" he is getting big. Jose, keep him going he is your retirement plan, ha ha ha.
Yes Joseph we were happy to have our friend Steve out with us.
Maximus is a hoot to be around and it's great to share him growing up
Love the video Jose (and thanks Kelly). it's nice to what's going on IN the orchards and IN the beehives. I just love seeing how Max has grown. He'll be grafting before you know it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Truly is so fun for us to share what we are up to and also folks like you that enjoy the videos and watching Maximus grow up. Thank you for your support 😃
Thanks for these videos. My son and I are trying to make the jump to commercial beekeeping. we have 40+ hives and want to grow significantly this year. our hives are in the almonds this year and all this crazy weather has made us nervous. Thanks for showing that its not all doom and gloom as others want everyone to think.
Hello Jose what a great looking box of bugs ( bees for Max ) . It was good to see Steve having such a good time in the bee yard an THANKS to you for working with our GREAT VETERANS. Our season here in NC looks like it may be a few weeks ahead of last year’s. Keep your video’s rolling when possible we enjoy it. THANKS
It was a great day caring for the bees and we absolutely love Steve. He rocks and part of the The California Beekeeper Family. Thank you for the kind words Kathy
I'm in NC also.
I kinda forgot what dusty dirt roads look like! 😂. Great Video and your builders look STOUT!!!
Todd, I miss kicking up dust🥺. All that's happening now is kicking up mud😣
@@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper that ain’t no joke! ⛈️🌧️🌪️
Jose I’m super happy to find your videos. I’m a beekeeper out of Utah and a group of us send our bees to pollination with Ken Smith. They are all in Williams this year. We watch your videos to get an idea of how things are going there. It’s a rough year and the weather hasn’t helped but we are hopeful that some of our hives look as nice as yours. Well done and thanks for the videos.
Hello David! What a small world😃, Ken and I have known each other for year's! Great guy right there.
Happy to hear our videos gives you an insight of what is going on with your bees in that area. Things have shifted fast since that video and we hope that the major systems have came and gone. There was some areas in multiple orchards that experienced floors dng and bees under water. Praying not yours, Ken is great about being proactive so I'm sure if there was any “concerning” areas he would move them onto pallets or higher ground. I will ll be heading down Friday or Saturday to work our bees👍 Video coming soon
Hello Jose, love your videos. Miss ya . When are you putting out more videos?
Ukraine's oleg beekeeper. 💛💙👌
Mantap bos 👍👍👍
Thank you
Sr jose Urive buenas noches sigo sus videos y adoro mucho su bebé dios le bendiga tengo un pregunta para usted radico en dallas tx y tengo como 200 colmenas y me gustaría saber donde compro la torta en pakere grande el cuadro
Hey man I loved this video! I hope to be doing exactly what you’re doing out there pollinating almonds in the next year or 2. Great stuff!
Nice! Pollination of almonds is a great way to grow the Apairy 🤙
Im new to your channel, great videos man! Im a newbie, so I apologize for my question’s; why are there different size hives stacked? Ive seen the top hive is sometimes smaller than the bottom when I drive by almond orchards (I live in the Central Valley)
It was interesting to hear how you take frames from one colony to another to help a weaker colony that isn't thriving...When you do this is there any issues with them not getting along with the new colony? Cool video, enjoyed seeing your setup and the different gear! 👍
We equalize so that we don't lose any from swarming and also helps the hives that are slightly behind the explosive ones. We do NOT swap frames with bees. We shake off the bees into it's original hive and just transfer the brood or larvae. Thanks for watching Wes
Ah okay 👍
How is the bad weather in California affecting the almonds or is it??
Good see you guys back. Packages are going to be delayed this year from California?
Adam, anything from California will be delayed this year. Packages and queen bees.
To add bees, why not add a box, then checker board between the two boxes into three boxes?
Great question. We take these steps because we shake bulk bees from our colonies. Having 3 supers spreads the bees out and we don't get the poundage we need in the box we pull to shake. We also don't want to come back out to have to pull boxes to make everything square for when the bees get pulled out of the orchard.
How did you make out with all the rain?
Well this was before all of this wild weather. Big atmospheric river is hitting us tomorrow.
Any queens ready? I need two
Can I ask where you purchased those mating nucs
Through Pierco Beekeeping supply
Do you have any hybrid queens ready for pick up?
We gotta get together and talk bees, plus I’m a deployed navy vet.
Not until May. We are booked out with paid orders
@@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper bummer but that’s amazing that business is booming.
Yes🙏
Which part of Southern California are you from Jose
We are in Northern California, Red Bluff
