The Keeper's Hive is starting their Indigogo launch on June 11th.
www.indiegogo.com/projects/th...
NOTE: My plan is to get the 2-Queen System and put Flow-Supers on it.
We'll see how that goes. :)
Today's topics are listed below:
1) My honey was at 20.5% can I put it in my convection oven to dry it down?
2) When should I add a second deep if the bees aren't warming the space they are currently in?
3) I have a hive that appears queenless on day 10 or 11 after swarming. Can I use QMP to test if they have a queen or not?
4) Made a split, the split has eggs, the original colony doesn't. Any thoughts on this?
5) I tried to put my $40 queen into the Queen Isolation Cage, but she did a 180 and flew off. I tried putting the wooden queen cage inside the QIC and it was tough to get out later on. What are your thoughts on this?
6) I used double-bubble as insulation on top of my hives until ants moved into them. Now I've removed all Double-Bubble, have you seen anything like this?

7) If you have a queenless colony, what are your thoughts on combining them with pheromones rather than the paper method?

Thank you Adam. Have a great weekend :)
I won a Keepers Hive at the Bee Expo. Love it so far. I gave it to my grandchild age 9 and am managing it with them. It is so easy to use.
Let’s now how it goes was thinking of getting one
I have one, but it's behind as I put a very small swarm in it. I should have loaded it with a prime swarm. The testing has begun! I hope you and others will share about your experience. It's definitely novel.
We added a package of carniolans and one to a 5 frame nucleus. The nucleus took off running and the Keeper’s hive package seems average but this is way to small a sample to compare.
I love listening to your show on a Saturday morning before I do my inspections. I've learned so much from you! Thank you for your videos!
🍀
That's fantastic :) Thank you so much for taking a moment to share that my videos are helping :)
Hi Fred
Watching this on a Sunday,
as we had x2 'back to back' Dry Days here in Scotland. 🏴
Despite an amazing Spring Fruit Blossom and then Oil Seed Rape (Canola) Crop locally, the Hives are rather 'light' re Honey Harvest (??) And its Colder now in June, than what it was back in early May !. . .
It didnt even make 12C (50's) today. And it has Rained so, so much, its just Damp & Chilly !!!
(Apparently some Towns in South England had Frost on the Ground last night.) While it Snowed on the Mountains in the Highland Glens. Just crazy.
Weather has gone 'backwards' in the last few Weeks. 🙄
Anybody else "not seeing" any Signs of Swarming yet ?!? Checked all through each and every Hive : their Boxes, each Frame one by one ! Took all Fri & Sat to do this. No Queen Cups, no Signs of any Queen Cells. Plenty of Bees in all Stages (BIAS) and good numbers of 'permitted' Drones.(aka : all Queens in good Laying Patterns / with the right % of Drones she has laid re this Time of Year.)
Yet the Yields are weigh down to last Year. Very odd. . .
Whats with 'June' and Start of Summer this : Bee Season. . . Poor so far & its continuing so.
This Time last Year : 👀
I had a (huge) Incoming Swarm from someone's else's Hive : including a 'Marked Queen' find my Garden Washing Line & Pole, to House themselves in one of my prepared Bait Hives. back on 6th June '23 ! 👍
She's still a real good Colony : well Natured, with a lovely Laying Pattern, yet she too is low on the usual Honey Harvest. 😵💫
We still have the OSR to take, before it Crystallises further.
Then its Soft Fruit Crops, wild Blackberry & then the 'Ling' and 'Bell' "Heathers"! Yum. 😋
We wait ages for the Bee Season to finally get going,
(to find we are x2 Weeks away from "Mid Summer.') To date no signs of a 'Flaming June'. I'm in the Home watching more Rain pour down, while the Girls do 'brief' sprints off to an adjacent Wild Meadow (Flowering all sorts) in between more incoming Dark Clouds. Yikes ! 😕
Tip :
For those with high Moisture 'Levels' in their Capped Honey,
I highly Recommend getting a Multi-Tray "Food Dehydrator."
The Super Deep (long) Metal Oven types 'fit a Brood Frame"
off a Langstroth nicely ! 👌
OK most use Supers and their Medium Frames. But I have several Double Deep Lang Nucs so need to 'dry' not (cook) that Scottish moisture out of said Frames. More so this Year. 🤭
Got my 'Dehydrator' off Amazon (UK.) Hardly Costs anything to Run Utility Bill wise. And safer than the Kitchen Oven.
And it means I can continue to 'wick' away those Frames in a dedicated corner. And still have some Supper. Not melt the place down. . . Literally.
Hope this helps. 😎

Happy Beekeeping 2024
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Treating myself !
Ordered myself x2 Black Breeder Queens (back in Jan !)
So far : Delivery has been put back 'Twice' and the Bee Comp breeding them, has had worse Weather, than us a bit further North of the Border. So if 'Hobby Beeks' are having it bad, think what the Commercial Guys are experiencing too. 🤔
My Bees are mainly Mutts, with a fair amount of Native Black Bee in them.
I want to up more of the Black Genetics. These 'Tiny' Slimmer Bees : are as 'Hard as Nails !'
A really well known Scottish Bee 'Whisperer/ Guru' says Black Bees do well here in Scotland, comparred to (Soft) Italian 'Stripey' Bees so many 'Order' yet, fail miserably with.
So keep Bees (and Queens) as 'locally' as possible. . . Simples.
* This Dehydrator has a Dozen thin Wire Trays (so I take every Second one out, meaning I can get x5 Deep Lang Frames in at any one time. Can also make my own Pollen Patties too. . .
When the 'Beek' adds a tiny bit to much Sugar Solution to the Pollen Powder. . . Atmospheric moisture can mean 'a like for like mix' can be over sticky and needs 'drying out a bit' before adding to a Hive.
So this Gadget does : Honey, Pollen Patties, as well as 'Dry Down' Oops Fruit discounts.
Sure there must be uses I haven't thought about, yet. 🤭
Drunken, brawling cowboys and Braveheart examples in a bee education video…..Bravo sir.
👏
:)
Thanks Fred, lots of great info, have a great weekend!
Thanks, you too!
Looks like you are getting some WEATHER Fred, Praying ya stay dry and don't blow away.
Oh ya it sucks when they fly off, I almost had a 75 dollar Caucasian try to fly, crazy girl, the only thing that stopper her was the Grace of God.😁By the way Fred, it is great seeing you and your grandson with the bees.👍 You can tell you both are having a great time. Blessed Days Fred...
Question 5 - An easy way to prevent a queen from flying away is to wet her wings with water or syrup.
Yap, here we all keep 3/8 entrances all year. I never seen a beekeeper here open the entire side of the hive. Some even only use the round 3/4 hole all year. The hole works great for nucks and makes it very easy to defend the hive for bees.
I liked that Brave Heart analogy it seemed to fit, "we have purpose, and our nature will not be overcome". Seems to fit really well. 🙂 That baby skunk exploring outside its nest cavity was neat to see, my younger self would have gone seek and destroy on them but, I've mellowed with age, just enjoying nature now. I have ground hogs living under a shed and racoons in the shed. A few years ago, I started live trapping them and releasing them many miles away, lately I just let them be.
Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed that :) That baby skunk was far to the west of my house, there were two of them. :)
Great Q&A ,
Thanks, Darren!
Thank you Fred. I enjoyed the Queen muff bag and introduction / isolation cage.
Definitely a handy tool that can take the anxiety out of learning to handle queens :)
Thanks again.
Ended up doing the Newspaper thing at lunch. I’ll pick up a Ceracell Bee Escape, they look handy in general. I’ve just been removing one frame at a time and doing the shake / brush thing in the rare instances when I want to collect honey.
Btw, my colonies are pretty happy. They swarm, make drones and do their thing. I try not to stick my fingers in them and don’t try to maximize my honey production. 🙂
There is a lot of relaxation that comes along when honey production isn't the focus of bee management :)
AWWWW sorry you lost your mama European hornet. I was wondering if I could use my escape board to combine bees, so thanks for that. Have a great week!
You're welcome :)
Hi Fred, my wife accidentally bought two bags of the smoker pellets. They’re great. I’m happy wife bought 2 bags.
Thank your wife for me, Peter! :) I'm glad to have that in my smokers :)
Hope everyone stays for the “adorable” ending of this video!
Hi Mary, that was fun! Skunks don't see very well, so I got very close to their den and waited at sunset. There were two out, one was on to me and plopped into that hole. The other came back out and as long as I didn't move, it rummaged around for bugs in the grass. I'm so glad you enjoyed that :)
I haven’t seen one around in years - you’re so lucky! Thanks for sharing
Fred, did you notice that the Temp Queen (QMP) from Better Bee is 1/4" shorter than in the past? I removed a particularly nasty Africanized colony, killed the queen, and hived the bees I'd vacuumed out- but the temp queen didn't seem to make any difference. They all drifted over to other hives. I've got to queens being mailed on June 11, and only one hive to put them into. However, lots of calls... we'll see.
I've given up on BeeWeaver. Not buying any more clipped queens.
I did not notice that Temp Queen is shorter... you're very observant. When it comes to queen purchases, there are lots of options these days.
Bob Binnie just put out a video on refractometers including calibration. Worth the watch.
Thanks, I've done several of those myself, featuring the Misco, and how to use it to calibrate your less expensive units. Very important to know the moisture level. If you just target 18% or lower, you'll be just fine. Thanks for the recommendation :)
Dear Frederick, thanks.
You're welcome, and thanks for such a great product! They are sold out at BetterBee... I hope they get some new supplies soon :)
This is the first year I have seen a queen European hornet at my hives in April picking off my bees.
Wow, another great intro sequence.
Thank you :) that little swarm hung in there through the storm overnight, and was still there Friday morning. I did hive them, but expectations are low :)
I was releasing a queen by pulling the candy plug. I watched her fly away. As I was bemoaning my luck and putting the inner cover on there was the queen. I carefully put the inner cover on and then the top cover. I was feeling pretty good then. A few days later I found the queen dead in front of the hive. Second queen that hive rejected.
That's extremely frustrating! I hope you can figure out the issue with that colony.
Thank you for the video we are expecting black berry nectar flow soon here in the Pacific Northwest ! I know there is 2,4 or even 6 queened hives been practiced in Russia for a while now and it brings a lot of honey bees seems getting along very well!!! Good luck on that one!!!
6-queen colonies? So, they are in separate brood boxes, but share common honey supers? Do you have a link to any of those configurations?

By having multi item hives you will not use a lot of feed also I can go on and on!!🐝
I wouldn’t mind getting some rain. We are going to into a bit of a dearth just now. (SF Bay Area, it’s been warm so all the spring flowers are mostly gone and the summer blooms haven’t quite opened yet).
I hope things improve soon, that's a beautiful part of the country. :)
Dearth here as well. Temps over 105 several days. Dry heat, I'm anxious for melt-outs and the Africanized bees are swarming everywhere! I always laugh at bee suits that claim to zip off the face mesh so that you can drink through it- I just pour water through the mesh. My only worry is when I'm working several hours and need to go pee.
I take my winter insulation off because In Washington my hives get too much moisture inside
Thanks for sharing what you're doing and why.
I wonder if people using the Hivegate use one or two entrances and if they choose to change it depending on the season. 🤔
One or two entrances would be based on the size of the colony, not the season of use. I did use the double entrance method as well as the single. In the end, for me here, one is enough year round.
I did have ants in my insulated cover from better bee. Sealing their entrance with aluminum foil did not work. They did chew through it. A combination of silicone sealant and foil did work.
Ants chewed through aluminum foil? Or, did they make their way around it? That's very interesting! I've never had ants make holes in aluminum foil... maybe my Reynold's foil is thicker? If they chewed holes through it, what brand of aluminum foil did you use? Great citizen science experiment potential here :)
@@FrederickDunn I've had ants chew through thin foil but NOT the Reynold's Heavy Duty foil...
Ha Fred enjoyed the video, what kind of insulation are you talking about the bubble wrap or the foam boards or both. I have lost queens the same way this person did. more then 1 time to. Thanks for the video I just ordered my muff. have a great week
I'll put a link to the Double-Bubble, it's also called Reflectex at some building centers. It can be used instead of expansion foam, or poly insulation. Very handy! I also use it as the inner cover/seal under migratory style covers.
Hi Fred - great week again! I have more questions regarding honey water content. Honey was at 18% in the Fall and fully capped. We gauge checked the refractometer per instructions. We put all our honey in pint canning jars. The lids started to bulge a little and I released the pressure last week. They are not moldy but seem a little ‘strong’ almost like they did ferment, but could it be peroxide buildup on top?
Half of the jars that were stored at 60F in a cooler room all crystallized, so I will heat slightly before use or just use in tea, but some of the jars have to stay in a pantry that is about 70F.
If it is fermented, does it have a use? Cooking? Mead? Too late to dehydrate further? Mix with sugar syrup for bee feed? Lots of folks say it is fermented, but “then what” next step has been vague. Are people being too kind and not telling me to toss it? If so, how does one get rid of 60 gallons of fermented honey? Thank you!
I'm going to address this potential issue on Friday. Yes, you can often find peroxide on top of that honey, and particularly when it's foamy, or possitive pressure builds. Moisture got to that honey. This often results in a large foamy head that can leak through the lid and make a mess. You can scrape off the top until you're down to good honey again, and it's still usable.
Cannibalizing brood, may be a queen that has mated within her genetic line ....
That's another common occurrence, policing eggs due to genetics. But, very rare to see that on a large scale, and it most often happens at the egg phase, not larvae or pupae.
Certainly could have used that cage a couple days ago, one of my Layens hives swarmed and over the swamp they flew. It's a good time of season for them to start a new home though. Snapping turtles are digging in my garden laying eggs. 60- 90 days before they hatch...the past 3 days and each day there are new nest holes. They most likely won't all have eggs, but those nest I will mark and wait...no planting there. Just remember Fred, moles and voles by digging tunnels help to aerate the ground. Thanks for sharing, peace, Brice
Well, those ground ventilating voles also removed all 54 of my giant hyssop plants in less than a week. I failed to out plant them this year. ==
@@FrederickDunn They also will lay to waste, coneflowers, lilly bulbs and lots of other beautiful flowers and veggies. It is amazing to see them eat a row of carrots, leaving a perfect carrot shaped hole. It's hard not to want to squash them. They do go through cycles and even will eat their own in overpopulated conditions during winter. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Hello Mister Frederick 🤗👋 🧒
Can't find a Ceracell 10-frame bee escape anywhere. An 8-frame is available both from Blithewood Bee Company, (who are awesome), and Amazon... Both charge nearly 30 dollars shipping, and I'd rather my money go directly to Blithewood bees. And I only have 10-frame or 5-frame hives; so I guess I'll simply have to order it another time. The queenless Africanized bees seem to integrate into my other hives with minimal fighting anyway. I've still got hive gates on all my hives, and the bee drift has to go in through the gates; but not really digging the gates as much as at first. They're okay.
I love your bee talk. I'm making too many videos right now, and not much time to edit and post. So, I APPRECIATE YOU, FRED.
Maybe you can message Blythewood Company? He's very responsive. The issue with Ceracell is that they just don't have enough sellers in the U.S., and they are from New Zealand. That is high shipping for sure! Wow.
I use rigid pink insulation within quilt boxes all year but the ants make nests in them and there are HUNDREDS of ants, not just an "annoying few". If I completely surround the polystyrene with foil wrap or tape will it still have the same insulating properties?
Yes, the insulation value won't be disrupted by the foil.
Mist the Queen (in the cage) with a light sugar solution (1:1) and she will need to be cleaned off before she can fly . . .
Much easier to clean the trays weekly than waiting too long when the debris solidifies.
Absolutely! :) It's a great job for 8-year olds :)
My supervisor is 9
It's been excessively wet here in WV. Storms have really been rough this year.
Seems that areas either flood, or have no rain. This is a great year for us, but I know other areas are getting washed out. I hope things change for you soon.
Love the baby skunk
I was so glad it didn't see me :)
Bee buffet works great ty
I'm glad to have those and glad you got them also. That couple has since gone out of business as they didn't have enough products to support a business. Great feeder for inner cover provisioning :) I wish they had succeeded.
Hi Grandfather its quinn
Hello, Quinn :)
Hello, Mr. Dunn. Might I please kindly ask for your advice on my confusing situation? I installed a NUC on May 18 with a marked Queen. There was much less activity on the landing board compared to my other hive. Today, June 10, I opened the hive up : no sign of my marked Queen, no capped brood, no larvae that I could see, no eggs. Just lots of nectar. Slightly more bees than the NUC had initially. They had only built out half of a single empty frame in the 3 weeks since I installed the NUC. But then, on the newly built out comb, I spotted another unmarked queen. I assumed they raised her. What do I do now? Simply hope she is mated and begins to lay eggs soon? Inspect the hive in another week? Leave it alone for longer? I do not want to install a new Queen, since they have a queen - just not the same one which came with the NUC! Thanks for your thoughts and any suggestions, Marie-Louise in southern Ontario, with my thanks
Sounds like they superceded their queen. I'd let it ride out, as you now have a queen and you'll know in the next 12 days if she's viable as you should observe eggs then. So, my suggestion is to log everything you observed, including the stages of any remaining brood etc. And then let us know what you observe in 12 days. I wouldn't try to re-queen at this time. I would keep them fed as they have lost some time with that brood break.
I use double bubble on the inside of my outer cover but I rachet strap my cover down hard there is no room to get in.
Double Bubble definitely works great as a gasket material that also insulates :)
I would really like a Ceracel bee escape for a 5 frame box.
You and me both :)
Hi Fred 👋 You said we can use OAV with supers. Its going around some bee groups that you can not. Use OAV with Supers on in NYS? The only info I'm finding is 2021 and the articles say you can not use OAV with supers on. I don't use OAV with supers on but, want to know the correct information. Do you have a web page for me?
Yes, Oxalic Acid is approved for use with honey supers on. That has been approved. However, each State can put their own increased restrictions on if they so choose. In my State, it's permitted and has been approved.
Here's the current situation:
The FDA approved a tolerance for oxalic acid residue in honey in February 2021. This means honey with low levels of oxalic acid can be sold.
However, oxalic acid product labels haven't been updated yet. Most labels currently say "Do not use when honey supers are in place."
There are efforts to get the labels changed. The USDA is working on a supplemental label that would allow oxalic acid use with honey supers.
If you look at the label on the Oxalic Acid that I showed in today's video, it clearly states that it's approved for use with honey supers on.
I would not be surprised if California has additional restrictions. I always say that the label is the guide.
This link will show the approval for use when honey supers are on: www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/ppls/101743-00002-20230922.pdf
@@FrederickDunn Thank you Fred!
@@FrederickDunn I fwd the info to a beek 85 yrs old that thought OAV could not be used with supers. She was humbled with information and happy to know stuff!
Why would anyone "pull the fondant plug"? The cork plug is pulled, and a nail makes a hole through the fondant. The bees on both sides of the cage eat the fondant to free the queen. NO DIRECT RELEASES!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that.

Pulled around 32 medium frames now frozen, when i extract in my hot room im hoping the hydrscopic nature of honey stays within 17% range,....not seeing as many drones,swarming seems to be subsided,did a couple combines, clovers still around,sunflower about to pop,not sure if my hyssop is gunna do much, still small but planted all of it,...im thinking my honey is predominantly blackberry ,got a couple im still trying to get queen right,and then theres mite testing and treatments yet ahead,still loving my 5th season,saw a euroean hornet today, i hope the nectar isnt done,but too much rain i think compared to other year's,
Morning Fred, at roughly 9:55 video time, did you say hydroscopic or hygroscopic ? I know it should bee hygroscopic, but wasn't sure what word you were using
Even replayed a number of times. Maybe it's just my waning hearing or your thick eastern accent. Just kidding it's not thick. Lol
Hygroscopic, I hope it didn't sound different? :)
8 frames......outch
Great the device has been out of stock for weeks. Now a Fred's promotion. I keep checking better bee like a drug addiction. Still unavailable, come on better bee.
Hi Anthony, what's unavailable? Sorry about that. I should have checked with them first. Do they have waiting lists for products? Thanks for the heads up.
Oh, the deep Queen Introduction Cages are out of stock... I hope they get replacements soon :)
I’ve listened to your pod casts for a long time but no more till you get rid of the candy crush add
I don't know anything about the candy crush adverts. We don't get to select ads, they are targeted to the viewer's viewing practices based on what Google thinks would be of interest. I don't allow any ads to run mid-reel as I find that disrupting, but I do permit RUclips/Google to run them before and after. Since that's out of my control, all I can say is that you'll be missed.
