my bees will fly some during the winter to go to the bathroom they have to go like people is it so clod there that they do not take flights at all. wont they die
How do you deal with warm spells? I.e. We just went from negative 15f on Sunday to 55f today here in Massachusetts USA. How would you deal with higher temps that can't keep the bees cool?
This is very impressive - What are the advantages of keeping the bees indoor like this? survival rate? keeping them in one box instead of two? etc Wish you all the best
Great setup. A quick question though. With single deep boxes, you don't provide any winter stores for the bees? I run 9 frame single deep brood boxes but we supply them a second 9 frame deep for their winter stores.
Oooohhh! I get it now! I've been wondering how the hell you insulate a couple thousand beehives for the cold Canadian winter. Easier to just bring them indoors :)
I have a question for you, I'm near Montreal Quebec and I plan to overwinter outside. I was wondering what is your recommendations in regards to the bottom board? Would you use a solid or screened bottom?
How do you measure the C/o2 level? Just curious - I have a small shed project, just 4 hives in a temperature controlled insulated compartment. Northern Maine here.
Bradley Hopper You little sexist. I wish he'd answer that no, he did it himself. If it was intended to be a joke, it did not come off that way, smiley face or no.
Hello Sir, can you tell me how did you grow your stock of beehives each year. I am with onlly two beehivess. How fast can I grow them to get to the 1000 beehives.
Hi Ian, whats the optimum winter temperature for your bees inside the barn, are you looking for a good steady mean average. do you ever have to heat the shed to bring up the temp a little in your coldest months when its about -40 outside. just interested in how you regulate the temp? Thanks and very interesting!!
1. I have double brood boxes, should I split them when they go into my winter shack? 2. My shack in un-insulated, should I insulate the boxes? thank you Sir
Thank you so much Sir. I appreciate your service. This is amazing sir. I am so happy right now. I wish more people could see this video. I am proud of you sir. One question what do you do with the passed bees?
Would my 5 hives benefit from wintering in an un-insulster, and un-heated wooden 10X12 shed? Flight tube to each hive for warm spells. Would just being out of the wind in up-State NY help lower winter losses.
I did wonder why no one was doing this. Obviously - they were, it just was not talked about in the hobby beekeeping world where I was looking. This is so awesome! What are the things you must do while they are indoors in order to keep them alive and quiet? This is a very impressive setup!
Could you do an extended sound recording of the roar for RUclips it would make us sad winter beekeepers so happy to hear the girls again. The smell of the hives must be wonderful also, so many in an enclosed space. Thanks so much for all the great videos Stephen

Very interesting. It is neat to learn the fundamentals are good ventilation, no light and a steady temperature at 40 degree F.
I never heard of indoor wintering... thanks for sharing! very cool! I love the resonant hum... could take a nice nap in there!
Amazing
We cannot do wat you do
You have more control, than we have
Well done
my bees will fly some during the winter to go to the bathroom they have to go like people is it so clod there that they do not take flights at all. wont they die
Frances Moore these bees hang in for 5 months

NHFishman43 here we are constantly cold
But many use refrigeration
This is very impressive -

I'm curious about this too.

I was also wondering that. Canadian winters are long!
how do the bees do their cleansing flights in there??
Thomas Gordon not TIL they go back out in spring
Our winters are long
They must consume very little I hear long steady cold is better than warm and cold during winter. Less active...less consumption...less poo.
Thomas Gordon roughly 10lbs per month weight
And I agree, 5 months is a long time
Hello, if you keep them for 5 month inside,you make sure all the 10 frames are full of honey and pollen?Thank you

Fascinating! So they stay in the dark all winter?
Just curious, do you ever lose a complete colony during the winter inside like that? If so, why?
How do you measure the C/o2 level? Just curious - I have a small shed project, just 4 hives in a temperature controlled insulated compartment. Northern Maine here.
Jeff Vreeland a CO2 detector can be bought off Websites for cheap
Regulated airflow is important
Bees can handle more CO2 than we comfortably can
Nice hat. Your grandma knit that for you? :)

@@julieenslow5915 Yes it did. No smiley-face laughter cues required.
Don't be a putz
@@arogue469 I was not referring to you. I was referring to the guy trying to make a joke in regards to a hat. Cheers
Oh no sugar feed or pollen feed? Thought usually bee keepers will pour sugar into a box onto of the hive as food source for the bees during winter
Hello Sir, can you tell me how did you grow your stock of beehives each year. I am with onlly two beehivess. How fast can I grow them to get to the 1000 beehives.
Watch Mel Disselkoen he tells how you can turn 1 hive into 13 in one year its not easy but posssible then u just have to be able to buy eqiipment
Wilmer Duncan from North East Tennessee, what temperature do you keep the inside housing during the winter?
Do you still keep bees?
Beautiful.
Hi Ian, whats the optimum winter temperature for your bees inside the barn, are you looking for a good steady mean average. do you ever have to heat the shed to bring up the temp a little in your coldest months when its about -40 outside. just interested in how you regulate the temp?
Thanks and very interesting!!
Richard Noel I keep the fans set at 4 degrees Celsius and cool the shed with increased air exchange. I’ve yet to heat the sheds I’ve used.

Steppler Farms Video Blog thank you!!
What do you do to prevent ants in your storage and hives?
hi Ian im not familiar with wintering bees. but why are entrances open? and what do you feed them for the winter?
Nothing he says, feeding is done
Door open to dying bees
Hi, I would like to know how many frames 9 or 10 and how much candy, Thank you
I enjoy the hum of a hives
do you keep bees for 4 months
That is an awesome indoor hive wintering setup
How many beekeeping families do you have?
nikloboda around 1500
Got it. Thank you. Safe wintering for your bees.
1. I have double brood boxes, should I split them when they go into my winter shack?
2. My shack in un-insulated, should I insulate the boxes?
thank you Sir
I am wondering about the first question too.

How many losses do you have overwintering in the shed and do u have to keep it cool
Bruce Brown losses 10% plus
Cold winter air keeps it cool

Just as long as it dark and cold the bee's will not try to fly ?
I didnt see or hear anything
Max Bees good on this side

El hielo sigue ahí
Hi very good i want keeping My hiv bee indoor salon can help me? Temp?
Merhaba ben de türkiye'den selâm
With that many hives in there do they do a pretty good job of heating it or is the heat bill still pretty high?
Matt Winstead zero supplemental heat, continuous air exchange to cool
Steppler Farms Video Blog
Wow that's impressive. How high are ceilings?
Matt Winstead not high enough, ceilings are 12’
I didn't see any 🐝 can you show are thy flying out or no ,how collating honey ..?? From ind
Your an excellent beekeeper!
