@@cheryleesbeesakathesilentb3629 that’s what I said. Off camera but can’t make him. Hope we don’t pay for it.

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping glad you got it back in

@@TracysBees8713 🤦me too, cloudy day and I just couldn't see the eggs until I got my veil off 😅 that's why most beekeepers prefer dark comb in the brood nest

@@dcsblessedbees full head of hair thank God. Lol

We did thank you

And marked lol

I am glad it’s coming to an end for a little bit. But at the same time I can’t wait for spring for more than one reason I don’t like winter the best of luck with your season. Hope you get gallons and gallons horny.

@@TracysBees8713 actually I'm a bee's wax producer although I am selling a little honey this year because I've been given a apairy in a stand of mature Australian flowering gum trees which is pretty rare here and makes good comb and bottled honey but mostly, while I'll give a bit of honey away there's several large commercial beekeeper's in central Otago who specialize in thyme honey so I'm not interested in competing with them, I focus on wax producing and selling cosmetic grade beeswax which means doing things a little different from honey producers, for one, I actually encourage robbing at the end of the thyme honey flow because I'm not after the honey which would horrify most honey producers 🤣 then I'll use the robbed honey to produce more wax by laying in foundation. It's rare for a beekeeper to focus on wax not honey production but there's been a shift over to using force prong penetrators thanks to manuka honey harvesting rather than uncapping which is leading to a shortage of beeswax because you get very little wax from that process

@@dcsblessedbees he says thank you.

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping you’re awesome thank you

We found the queen right away. When we got home though she was dead. We are going to wait a week. (This Saturday). And we are going to put them in with another hive. Have to say they are drawing comb very fast.

@@TracysBees8713 ugh🤦dead queen, what a mongrel thing to happen 😬 tough break

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping that was very last-minute. Zero planning. And Frankie got the queen 5 seconds after showing up and have time to turn my camera on.

@@TracysBees8713 awesome 👍😃 Frankie has Mr Ed skills then😁 i have enough trouble finding a queen in a double deep, Mr Eds doing cutouts and " here's the queen, thank you Jesus" 😳😅👋

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping We call Frankie the animal whisperer lol. Guess we have to add Bees now.

@@TracysBees8713 too late, Peter cowin already took the RUclips title of bee whisperer😅

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping our bees are in a good spot for wind and rain. But we were very worried about trees falling on them. We were at work when the storm hit.

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping glad the guy in the caravan is ok. Glad all is well now

@@TracysBees8713 the last two days have been great, twenty Celsius 68 degrees F and today it hit 27 Celsius or 80 degrees F. still pollen on the first willows ( which I call dynamite willow because when a branch breaks or you stick it in a fire it bangs away like a stick of powergel going off 😂) grey willow is starting to green up a little and that's pollen and nectar producing, thyme flowering won't be far behind about three weeks after that it'll start. Helped Clean up at the neighbors campground and it's all squared away now up there and Les is a little shaken still but alright. Neighbors are hoping to help him with an insurance claim because he isn't insured but they are so they're putting in a claim for him because it's their tree on their property that hammered his caravan so hopefully that comes good for Les and he can get a new caravan 👍😁👋

@Manuherikiabeekeeping aww that’s very sweet of them to do that. We will hit 75 today but we are slowly getting cooler.

@@Shannonontheroad we open the lid. Make sure they’re flying in and out of the hive.

@dcsblessedbees Hey, the bee master of beekeeping dropped by... 🫠

@@gallowaylights yes they are we will be changing next spring

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping Thank you. You are Awsome.

@@tylerrock1453out of a tree that’s been hit by a bulldozer

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping we can sit out there for quite a while, and just watch and go in and out mesmerizing.

@@TracysBees8713 I watched a colony today because it's early spring here and they are bringing in nectar 😳 and I have no idea where it's coming from 😅 so I didn't go into the colony, I just sat off to the side for fifteen minutes and watched to see how many bees were coming in nectar heavy and what kind of pollen they were hauling. Still have no idea😂 someone suggested kowhai which tastes like burnt axel grease if you get it, it's nasty tasting stuff but it isn't that because we don't have any stands of kowhai close here😅 still got no idea what they're bringing in nectar wise but they're getting a bunch of it😂

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping glad they’re bringing in stuff. I hope it taste good later.

@@TracysBees8713 I'll find out In a couple of days when I open the hive to check them for stores and pollen frames 😃 it's big pollen time so I'll pull frames of pollen on out for the thyme honey flow in October/ November and tuck them away till then

@@Manuherikiabeekeeping we only left ours in 42 days.

@@TracysBees8713 yup that's much more sensible 😁

Thank GOD for everything.

Thank you we picked it because it has room to grow

@@michaelevans6029 right now anything they make is for them anyway don’t need a queen excluder

We have 8 hives

Smoke works wonders😂

@TheBeeCommander-o9x seems to make ours mad

@TheBeeCommander-o9x it was also supposed to be an In-N-Out thing.

@@pabeekeper his wife

@@muhammadbaraqbah-p5u if we were to do that, it wouldn’t be until next year. All the honey in the boxes right now are for the bees to overwinter in.

@@TracysBees8713 ohh

I’d be more than willing next year lol honeycomb is the best.

@@TracysBees8713 i really want a real honeycomb but cant most of them are selling sugar honeycomb / fake honeycomb

@user-dw9dz4if5h well next year we would be more then willing to ship some. If I make it through winter but we’re gonna try real hard.

@@pabeekeper it was at the time lol

We have only been doing it since spring. It will be new for a min.

@@minominority sugar water and pollen patty’s

@@pabeekeper since spring.

@@pabeekeper but we have been doing homework for over a year.

I am happy l learned how to edit this video. I know I have to get more comfortable and talkin and maybe showing myself. I will try to do better but in the meantime I hope you enjoy the videos I do make God bless.

My husband was at work and he wanted to see. My phone is stupid and won't send long videos. And yes at some point I will be. Right now we work 12 hours a day .6-7 days a week. When we finally get moved in over there I will be.
