If you find full or half frames of honey and you plan on taking it later when it's warmer why not just take the honey now?
Thanks for asking. I will only take honey from hives that don’t need it. They need two boxes in Michigan to consistently over winter. A third box is a surplus of honey that I can remove. When it comes to the two boxes that are remaining, if a hive is still alive, I’d give the colony the opportunity to eat the honey, and use it to overwinter. Only when the hive dies before spring will I remove the honey from that die out.
We are near Port Huron, Michigan and lost both of our hives. One was very weak, one was very strong and had lots of honey. They had little to no mites, tested and treated for them. Did you lose many? Very interested since you are also in Michigan. A guys we know lost more than 200 hives this winter… sounds like a bad one over here. Thanks for your videos! Great work!
Thanks so much for watching!
We had a good number of die outs as well
It looks like nosema is playing a big part.
We’ll be treating soon and feeding fumagilin-b to try to fix this problem. Stay tuned for that video!
I had a complete die out in my only hive. I have two deep frames of honey left in the hive. Can I leave that in for my new package of bees coming in April?
I would remove those frames of honey and it and put them in the freezer so it doesn’t mold. When bees are swarming in your area which is usually around May or June you can set up a trap. This video shares how to set it up. th-cam.com/video/8AL6Qjrmr1A/w-d-xo.html
As long as you never bring boxes into your house, and you let the bees rob out the honey, you don't need to remove brood with tweezers or bag every hive body in trash bags. Everything you instructed to do was for indoor storage but then said never store inside more than 2-3 days. Why freeze every deadout in a deep freeze if it died in freezing weather outside and you do not intend to store them indoors? You never get around to explaining how to "store" the deadout outside before it is used again later in spring. Your video pretty much tells how to warm them up to extract the honey for yourself but nothing about protecting the comb outside. You say to close them up tight to keep wax moths out on warm days which is only a reality much later in the year when moths are an issue so sealing them up for that many months outside is horrible advice. The stack of boxes NEED sunlight entering them, bees entering them, and NO direct rain entering. The drawn comb will last all year and more under certain natural conditions. Closing them up so bees cannot enter is bad. No sunlight is bad. I show how to let nature preserve deadouts here...th-cam.com/video/hcwqpfh9gRc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for taking the time to write your comment. It's tough to cover everything in a short video and I certainly didn't mean to confuse anyone. Freezing frozen frames would be pointless I agree with you on that and wax moths are only a problem in warm temperatures. The hives I was Closing up were full of capped honey. All my other frames that are on their sides getting robbed out.
Thanks for watching!
