Lot of good inphoe👍

How do you clean up the viruses? Is that just something that time does?

I'm over here in frostproof florida. No heavy frost yet. But this has been an ogbow year. I got neighbors around me looking for swarms And catching them. That's nature

Appreciate it that video

I wish i live down there lol. Year round Beekeeping sounds wonderful lol

That round up has glyphosate which has been linked to cancer. Please be careful, and make sure you wear a respirator when using that stuff.

Do bees not see green light very well also?

You are the 1st person ive seen on youtube that actually puts the apivar in properly lol. I watched the instructions from the actual company and you are the 1st person ive seen tht does them right. Thats something thats oddly important for someone that pays attention to the little things like me. Keep up the awesome videos. Just discovered your videos today and so ive been binge watching them lol

Looks like an easy build by using a dolly and some flat bar and spring steel, sorry but if I can see it I can pretty much build it lol

I have a cpl colonies that were like that this summer but unfortunately i live in a city. Even using pollen patties and feeding 1-1 they basically just held their populations 😅 it was quite frustrating so i feel your pain

Could you put some pollen supplements on them? Maybe help jump start them.

There seems to be a lot of stress getting bees ready for CA. Do you have a quota or contract that you have to meet?

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Mark been there done that.

That's because you are feeding the bees 🐝 Woke sugar syrup instead of honey sugar or honey syrup, O Old American beekeepers in the 80s use powdered sugar cived onto the top of the hive directly on the bees getting them to start grooming each other to knock The mites Off falling too the separate bottom observation medical tray killing the mites in diatomaceous Earth. Can you freeze honey frames to add back to feed the hives Cheers 🍷🥂 🍻

Excellent analysis

You said you also fed them 6 gallons of thick syrup. That sounds like a good way to reduce brood production.

If you fed sucrose you would get better brood production. Corn syrup has been shown to not be that great.

lol that’s so crazy your getting ready for almonds and I’m getting ready for winter lol 😂

I got more tips and tricks off this video than I have in a long time! Thank you! This video was extremely helpful for me and my operation.

That's what we're doing getting a rough estimate for california.

Holy smokes !!! How many colonies do you have !! ?? I’m impressed!!

Love your Chanel,how far away do you like to have your drone yard from mating yard? Thanks

👍👍👍

How many rounds of drones are you producing ?

Dude you’re hair is gone

That's amazing. This is autoball year

I have truck sized parking, I never thought of that. Thanks.

Get them girls fed up nice and fat

No days off no being fat either.. I've lost 160 pounds sense I took up bees

I feed some in the spring March.. April thru Oct I've always got flow to build on .. not always honey made rains to much . anymore I use fondant microwave fondant I make for 50 cents a pound... like feeding inverted syrup without the moisture with zero waste doesn't ferment doesn't trigger robbing less weight on the truck. Doesn't even sour .. . gives me month jump start spring nuc sales.. that fondant they are drawing wax building up with snow on the ground.. they won't even take syrup.. I need to spark those latshaw queens .. were getting out of the nuc business just going to build bees for pollination and sell them off in singles chemical virus free in new equipment.. I'll get each load tested.. I love the bee life just not dealing with the public no more it's to much stress . Plus I'm competing with the guys I'm setting up in the nuc sale business plus that's direction my youngest boy wants us to go.. oldest son will need a job at some point working construction he will want something more stable once he has kids I'm sure

That doesn't work for me.. setting them on top I wait until evening.. I get to much of the older bees messes up my cells virgins or whatever I'm going to give them.. seems like they dead set on making their own queen. If I pull them off top In evening...I'm switching over to all broodless splits more mechanical type treatments between chemical treatments.. build bunch of bulk bee baskets and smoke up boxes so I'm not splitting my mites

Bee ate a lot this season, I think all the dry affected a lot of the bloom for a lot of beekeepers this year.

I've got the same problem as you do. I am running out of syrup I think i'm gonna try open feed for a few for a couple of weeksI think i'm gonna try open feeding For the next couple of weeks to see how that's gonna help out

Can I buy a queen and have it shipped?

Great update, thanks. Nice to hear about something besides winter prep. Here in central and north central Texas that doesnt really apply. Neither does raising queens in October but at least its a different tune! Ive heard a couple interviews with Bracken, neat guy and story. I doubt that fella bushhogging even noticed such a small bump.

You can invite guest for video conference and publish on RUclips too

So busy, good luck. Do you still have drones.

Are those the 4 frame ones you were telling me about? man all the bees look good! pretty cool!

How do you like using the styrofoam mini's. I like using my wooden neck Minis

Sounds like a busy day.

I spray around mine too. Sure makes it nice! But I’ve got a lot of shit for doing it lol. “You’re a beekeeper you can’t use spray!” Haha watch me

I've had no problem with roundup in Darlington S.C.

You are in Florida and from watching Stevo outdoor looks like yall have a small flow all year in certan places? What part of Florida

I am a second-year beekeeper my oldest son got me into it he has his bee yard in what they call the Hill country he's been in it for it started out thinking it was going to be easy and fun it's still fun but why it's not that easy sometime depending on the certain time of the year it's a lot of work but I love it

Colony collapse. It's due to Veroa Mites. Even if you Ocilic Acid vap you can't get all of them. Even if you put strips in you can't get all of them. One thing I am perplexed is your not understanding management of Veroa mites. You didn't even talk 1 sentence about that. They live in the cells and hide is why I say this. I am like UGGH! This guy. 8 gallons of feed! Per hive per 2000 colonies. The expense! 2 stack hive! Trying to fill 2 boxes. Oh my goodness! I understand your in Florida, but you don't need that amount of feed going into winter. I winter with 4 or 5 frames of honey in Central Texas. Rarely to we dip below 25. Why are you trying to fill 2 boxes per hive man! Your in Florida where the winter isn't cold all the time during winter. Your bees come out of winter and your hives are packed with syrup then where is the queen going to lay man! Come on man. 1 box 5 frames of honey and your not going to be able to shut the queens down it's too dang warm. If you fill all the frames with syrup you evacuate the cells from veroa then you can treat and try and get 100% with a 2 prong approach.

Well, one channel is tough, two channels…whew…that’s some work. I work full time and do RUclips and just keep 40 to 50 hives at the peak of the season and I work hard to keep up with my channel. My first two to three years of RUclips was to do exactly what you’re doing, except as an average hobbyist. RUclips can be rewarding and frustrating. Just depends on the day😁😁. Chipley’s pretty cool. I need to check out your late queen cell video. Would love to stop by one day when I’m on the way to visit back home in Madison, FL

Why don’t you tell us ,how you got into beekeeping what size is your operation ,I had few minutes of your video and felt you were moaning about your situation ,don’t mean to be offensive - I watch over 14 beekeepers from across the world and am also building my own yards - just want to learn different ways of doing the same job !

Need more bee videos please

I love beekeeping my first year here! Would love to know more about how you became a “commercial” apiary. What it involves if you have to register your hives and what permits you need. Great job with starting your channel!
