13 degrees here at noon - no bees about, but enjoy seeing some birdies getting seeds off the summer flowers I left standing - it’s cool the bees pollinated in the summer and now the birds have something to eat
Up here at a mile high, it's been 40 to 50° in the shade, thus the girls are flying around. I'm feeding them the pollen substitute and I've got some Boardman feeders with two to one sugar. They'll suck down a gallon and a half a day when the sun's out strong.
Hi David Happy new year and greetings from Ireland. Just been introduced to you site by a friend - so watching all you videos. One that interested me was the two frame nuc for queen rearing - you mention plans but I’ve search your website to no avail - so you still post these plans online :)
How often do you clean your pollen feeder if at all and does the pollen substitute have a shelf life in a feeder mine been there since October but nothing is wet just a little dry crust
They are grumpy. Yes they make great alarms. I see them all hours of the night coming up to eat at the comunity feeder. They must have decent night vision. I'm surprised a fox or coyote hasn't trybto get one, but they are pretty agressive. Coyote would be fighting all 8 huge geese. Lol

Ive been feeding the birds sunflower seeds, and suit cakes. They have been really hungry.
@ Nice! It’s a wonder they can survive!
Merry Christmas David! 1st year beek and hoping they survive. Double deep and did the mountain camp method for insurance.
Morning David, you and your family have a Merry Christmas. Blessed Days...
Thanks so much. Have a very Merry Christmas!!!

As long as it stays dry it will be ok.
No most geese are not nice they bite😂great guards and walking squawking alarms systems thought.
