Thank you
You are always so informative. The relationship you have with your bees is really cool. You always say excuse me bee,or hey bee your stealing the shot. I hope to be that comfortable and respectful around bees. Keep up the great vids!!!!!
Superman!
My 2 year old Granddaughter is fascinated by the purple flowers of deadnettle. After eating some blossoms we checked to find they are not poisonous. Now we are trying to teach our aspiring beekeeper she cannot pet the honeybees in her backyard.
Pop, however can hang a swarm box!
Nice video. Keep em coming!!!
Great video, can't wait for the live chat
I use the Apimaye bottom board on one of my hives..works great.
This looks like a good strong hive. But if you would not have re-queened it that would not have been the case. And that new box looks like it should do pretty well. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your videos! We'r really enjoy them 💓
Wish I would have seen this before but my wooden hive
Thanks !!
Great videos!
Yesterday our one State of Ohio inspector checked out my friends Apiary and mine. Both passed, yeh. My friend hives already had drone cells. None of my 3 hives did. She checked 5 of my friends 12 hives. Now we can sell bees etc.
Enjoyed the video Kamon!
Cold and raining in sw Mo. Enjoy the videos!
Henbit is the same plant as dead nettle, Latium amplexicaule. I don’t remember which video you showed it on, but they are the same plant. I thought of it today when I was out walking but I watched several of your videos in a row. Have a great weekend!
They are very often confused as they are in the same family and look similar from a distance but they are 2 different plants. This is a good video that describes the difference. th-cam.com/video/ibJNeo0hHyo/w-d-xo.html
Great vid.
Hi Kamon wow just wondering what part of TN that you live. we live in New Zealand funny watching what you are going getting ready with spring while we are getting ready to winter down our hives.. thanks heaps for taking the time video taping what you are doing .. sure is helpful.. thanks Ken
Cookeville Tennessee area
My bees are filling frames with nectar when they can fly. I'm about an hour from Frankfort, KY. On the Salt River. Thanks for the videos!!!
Mine are gathering nectar also Madison Co. KY
Now I need it to warm up so they can draw out some foundation. I'm out of drawn comb!!
I've lost 3 hives over winter in my top bar hives so on the bright side I got extra comb
I find deadnettle at vacant properties always growing all over the place! I never knew what it was! Thanks
That's a lot of pollen. If it weren't so cool I would say you should try rearing queens. Nice video.
I am really skeptical of these new hive systems. One of the beauties of the Langstroth system is its standardization. A proprietary design locks you in to the manufacturer until it is adopted as a standard. They may work well but are expensive. And what do you do if the manufacturer goes bust?
Nice thanks for the video.
I was wondering what produced the very red pollen in your previous video. Thanks for letting us know.
I’m going to start playing the lotto so I can afford those Cadillac hives😜
Hey Kamon thought you was gonna get a new vail lol. Love the videos!
Do you have plans for your new hive covers ?
Some days my hives are not nice at all, some days they're so sweet they'll rot your teeth. Except "the mean hive" you know that one hive in the yard you purposefully save for last, yeah that queens days are numbered... literally.. There's a nice fat queen cell just waiting.
I was interested in what you seen with the larvae that concerned you.
Looked like some efb but until I have a chance to check well I was hesitant to say. If there is anything significant to report I will try to get that in a video
I saw some as well. So what is your next move for efb minor moderate and severe cases?
6:55 saw some diseased larvae and at 7:01 a melted one. Is this something they'll clean up you think? I'm second year but my first year involved a bad nuc with chalkbrood, sacbrood and EFB. Or maybe I'm wrong? I'm still learning
I am hoping it is just some simple stress but it may be something more significant. I will give an update at some point
Hey Kamon, I distributed excess honey frames to those that were light a week ago. At what point do you think I should start feeding 1:1 syrup. I keep a honey super on each hive during the winter and would like to pull them off. I'm in SC. Thanks for all you do for us.
Hope
Info on alpha may feeder please
Is it to late to put out traps for catching a wild hive?
Great video, what are your thoughts on running single deeps vs double deeps. Maintenance, honey production etc. I'm in se Kentucky not far from the Tennessee line traveling I75. Thanks for your time
when the next live question and answer i forgot to write it down
Tonight (Saturday) at 7PM central time.
Good video. But isn't your veil in the bee yard pretty much the same as safety glasses in the shop?
True! I probably need to start wearing both more often
Safety First says the OSHA man, don't play in the creek, you might drown! Don't climb that tree, you might fall! Don't run with those scissors, you'll stab yourself! Don't ride your bike on the road, you might get hit by a car! Don't fly a kite, you might get electrocuted! Don't eat those lemon drops, you might get choked! And by all means, don't shoot that BB gun you'll put your eye out!
I don't know how we survived to adulthood not knowing all that crap! A kid can't even ride a bike now unless they've got a motorcycle helmet on. AND NO, I never knew a kid that suffered an irreparable brain injury riding a bicycle!
Safety, safety, safety....it's the new age mantra and a person...let alone a kid, can't enjoy themselves for being reminded of the dangers of breathing without an oxygen mask on.
Go back inside, sit on the couch, play video games and eat granola bars and organic milk.....playing with bees is just too hazardous for most folks!
I noticed you mentioned the dead nettle plant. I have both dead nettle and hens bet . Can you tell me do they produce a nice amount of nectar or mostly pollen?? I am in West close to the Tennessee border.
Hi robert they produce more pollen than they do nectar but I think they do produce a small amount of nectar.
Kamon, great videos. I’m also in Tennessee. Could you touch on when the first honey flow is and when it stops? I’ve tried to find online schedules but can’t find anything great. NASA has a cool site. www.honeybeenet.gsfc.nasa.gov Also could you touch on pollen vs. honey flow? Does one mean the other?
