Beyond Beginner Beekeeping//Feeling Stuck?//Advance your beekeeping past Beginner level
Great tips! Thanks. I'd like to ask you first because I trust your advice on your videos...Two of my 3 hives are small in population. Probably around 5 frames of bees with minimal resources. Any advice going into fall and winter? I'm worried they don't have enough resources to survive. I'm near Chattanooga,TN.
I use this and haven't had a problem. I have decided to move the queen to another hive and put the larvae on the bars. I usually get 30 after 6 days and move them all at one time.
Yikes, sorry!
Who knew?!
Ouch!! I was seriously giving.somenthought to the Nicot deal.
So sad. When you say "staying there" ... Do I need to bring a tow truck!?!
It’s on our property. I actually just moved it to the house to work on it myself.
@@thehivedoctor13 I remember how much you love working on transmission. Have fun with it.
Is OAV your only treatment all season? Or u change types of treatments ?
I use OAV, Varroa control frames and screened bottom boards. I have also used the organic formic acid pads, I don’t remember the brand name.
Keep on beeing❤😊
❤❤❤
Will. You. Raise. Good. Bees. ? White, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue. That’s how I do it. I’ll be looking for some blue marked queens from you next season. Great lesson/video BTW, thanks!! Especially the cold space frames. I didn’t think of that. I’ve started already, August is my month one.
Oh nice way to remember!! Thanks!
At least you hopefully don’t ever forget the bear fence… 🐻 🐝
Seriously 😂
I'm treating with apivar strips today once I get done procrastinating. I have already spent 4 hours on the tractor mowing.
I really like that you have a job planned after your planned procrastination 😂
The Hive Doctor lost a patient?!? 😂
Very clever!😂😂😂
I have done this already here in Oklahoma. We do still have a little, tiny trickle of a flow from sunflowers going on.
Nice going! I would love to have some hives on acres and acres of sunflowers, just to see what it’s like. 🌻
@@thehivedoctor13 I'm going to plant about 5 acres next year.
@topsoutdooradventures 🤯
Sedum- autumn joy looks like broccoli with tons of pinkish rose colored flowers turning bronze late fall. ALL pollinators seem to like it. Covered in all types of bees.
Oh! Yeah I know what you’re talking about. Also, I like broccoli. 🥦
Sorry for so many separate posts. Stonecrop/sedum here! And ironweed
Cool!! I forgot about Ironweed! I’ve never heard of Stonecrop. Must look that one up 🤔
Beautiful
And noninvasive!
Always a plus! I secretly like some invasive species for my bees 😂🤫🤐
WOW! wish I had goldenrod around where I live
@@champinsoccer9 Ha! Yeah it’s really coming in isn’t it?! What’s blooming for you?
@@thehivedoctor13 hmmm I'm in eastern Tennessee right on the Georgia line so I honestly don't know if anything right now.. they haven't brought in much pollen I need to get familiar with what blooms here late
@champinsoccer9 Oh okay. You could very well have goldenrod just on the cusp of blooming there.
@@thehivedoctor13 that would be fantastic if so. I'm going do some research. If not imma get some started here! Lol
@champinsoccer9 I like it!! Making things happen 😎
Love it Jonathan. I enjoy all of ther videos. I wish I was retired and able to do beekeeping 100%. I missed my calling😅
Thanks man, I really appreciate that!! What do you do?
@@thehivedoctor13 Im a service/ application engineer for STAR CNC MACHINE TOOL CORP. I basically install our machines, train customers on the machines, and service the machines
I got a 12 ft flatbed with a lift gate.
Very. Cool! 😎
275# totes, gas nozzle, with a flatbed pickup. Get the crane.
Crane as in EZ loader?
@@thehivedoctor13 yup. my words exactly.
Love it! I would really like to equip with one of those!!
Some good info here. Appreciate you're sharing your methods
Thank you for watching! I appreciate hearing from you 🐝
next video is what to do with those frames and how you could have prevented it. (droney)
Great idea! Thank you 🐝🐝
Goldenrod
Nice guess but no! I have made Goldenrod honey from Goldenrod though. I like it
@thehivedoctor13 yeah, the answer short popped up like 3 videos later.
We appreciate you showing the good the bad and the ugly. I know I can sure learn from it. Thanks.
You’re welcome. I have more where that came from 😅
So this was caused by too much room and not enough bees? As bee numbers diminish in the fall, is there a chance this can happen in a healthy hive in a double deep?
Yeah, a small colony can have more room than they can manage, leaving the opportunity for pests to slowly overtake.
@@thehivedoctor13 I will bee extra vigilant sir
@topsoutdooradventures I am about to begin going through my colonies, minimizing the room they have if necessary.
@@thehivedoctor13 I went through last week and consolidated everything to the center, move some unfinished frames to the outside for example. I definitely don't want to take away a box because of the loss of resources that would be.
beekeeping is a never ending learning process. this is a valuable lesson for us all and I hope to learn from the mistakes that the rest of everyone makes.
Pro 💯
Thank you!
Congrats 🎈
Can’t wait to try. I’ll order with sourwood. Love your website!💯
Nice!! Thanks I appreciate the feedback on that!!
Hey Jonathan I’m a simple Spanish side beekeeper on a small island in the med, and not a big rich American honey producer. I experienced that my ancient old black black bee’s well a little spicy ones don’t like human intervention at all if possible however I control them as strict local laws obliged me to do, I only collect the honey ones a year, next to that, propolis, bee venom, and wax. Btw I don’t reuse the comb because all goes in the extruder so no problem with wax moth and stinky frames to store. Yes using the layens plastic frames. This working philosophy is way more expensive but very time saving and worth the investment greetings from Spain Europe and thanks for sharing
Wow that’s awesome!! Thank you for sharing. It’s fascinating to see how beekeeping varies all over the world!
Jonathan, thank you, thank you, thank you for this post. You nailed it! I’m a hobbyist as you know and frequently explain to friends and neighbors what you posted so well. Bravo to you sir! Sugar water syrup does not help make …honey! And being mindful of how and when I apply any treatments to my girls is also explained well here! This may be my third season but your post encourages me to keep doing what I’m doing and not take on bad habits as a beekeeper and be mindful of how I take care of my girls. You are a pro! Thanks again!
Hey Kevin, that’s awesome!! It’s cool to know that there are others who have these type of standards and that we encourage one another in them. You’re doing great! Thank you 🐝🐝
Hey Jonathan, I've been beekeeping for 4 years and I love it. I live in Northern Ohio and I enjoy your videos very much. I only treat my hives with oxalic acid in September and October heading into winter. I do not believe in treating in the spring or summer as honey bees will take care of themselves. They have been around forever and they know what they're doing more than we do. I do not want to sell any of my honey that has chemicals in them.
Hey John, that’s awesome!! I can appreciate your standard because they’re backed up by your beliefs. Good for you and I greatly appreciate you sharing that with me. 🐝🐝
You’re doing great man!! Thank you for watching my channel.
Very interesting suggestion. We have sassafrass around here, but I would never have thought of it. My wife asked what about rosemary or other herbs. Worth investigating. The honey in that jar looks to be more liquid than mine. Is that just because it's warm, or have you diluted it?
Rosemary would be very interesting! Yeah, my honey does look “runny” but you’re right, it’s just hot from sitting in the sun. In the morning, it’s actually slow and thick. Nice observation 🐝
What a genius idea. I have sassafras growing all around here. I love licorice and honey never thought to combine them. You are a genius my friend.
Ha! Thanks man. You should try it! I want to experiment with others as well. 🍯🍯
Sup doc or should i say alchemist 😂 glad ur doin great ,i was wondering is the NMR testing is the ultimate honey quality test ? Or what is the best test for honey?
Alchemist?! Love it 😏. And great question but before I answer it, I need to know what NMR testing is😅
@@thehivedoctor13 nuclear magnetic resonance 👀
@marko.akz. Oh! I know nothing of this but it sounds fascinating!
I’ve had to feed my bees 1:1 up here on Long Island NY for the last month. I literally today pulled the feeders to get ready for the Yellow Rod Flo. I will start feeding 2:1 beginning of October and prep them for winter. The only wrinkle, I’m getting a hip replacement on the 24 of September. 😬 Good luck with the Conference and your infused honey.
Nice! Thanks Captain. I may have to feed some of mine too, probably my splits, giving them a 2:1.
We, pretty much, have just the one flow out here in Oklahoma and everyone I know feeds at some point.
That’s a unique circumstance for sure. I usually have to feed in the fall but not always in early spring.
Do you use marajawanna ? I infuse honey with CBD and THC man let me tell you it helps back pain if you have any medical issues make some you don’t get the high it just helps pain
Nice!! I’ve never tried that but I can see it being very popular!
I feed in the spring and then I pull honey and let the bees keep all the fall flow then I’ll feed up after fall flow around mid September
Cool cool! Sounds like you’ve got it down my friend! 🐝🐝
@@thehivedoctor13 cool cool is right lol our night now are between 8 and 10 degrees I see my breath in the morning 😅
@aaronparis4714 Oh man! We still have 80 degree days😅
Mint honey
Good idea!! But it’s Sassafras! Mint 🤔 💡
I tought its propolis
Hmmm, propolis smells pretty good. Imagine honey tasting like that!
@@thehivedoctor13 yea, i tasted propolis, it dosent taste good BUT if you add some honey it makes it better alot
@TrashyMemez 😂
@@thehivedoctor13 ?
Is it sassafras? Ive done it before looks kinda the same so thats my guess
Good job!! You’re right! But someone beat you to it😅. I will do more in the future 🐝
Cinnamon
Oh man! I can imagine using cinnamon sticks in the honey!! Nice idea but nope! It’s Sassafras
@@thehivedoctor13 daddgummit!!!! I never won anything....lol
@topsoutdooradventures 😂😂😂
Tea
Cool guess and nice idea! But nope, it’s Sassafras infused 🍯
Tea
Privet
Definitely interesting 🤔. My bees have forager from privet before but it’s actually Sassafras! Good try!
Sassafras
Oh nice guess!! Because you’re right, it is Sassafras and with only a little time left till 8pm. Nicely done. Email me your shipping address and I will get your Sassafras infused Wildflower to you near the end of the month. I will also announce your winnerage tomorrow to everyone else.

Lemon and Blueberry??
Dang! These guesses are getting better and better 😂. Good guess but no!🐝
