    I like your vids but I live north of Seattle so some of your stuff I have to adjust for climate. but what I enjoy the most is seeing your son in his beekkeping suit helping out; bet he will be running that operation sooner than you think. best to you and the family.

    I've heard some people claim that beat sugar is harder on bees or bad for bees compared to the normal cane sugar and other types. Curious to ask if you knew anything on this, or if its true.
    Thanks.
    The bee yards are pretty in the video. I can see why someone might like to be out there, with no people, so much room.

    Interesting video! I've had a bee chase me in the house, then when I figured it had returned to hive and came out, it was waiting for me on the back porch! Lol wth?

      Hahaha We can totally relate to those types of situations. Some older bees can flat out be so mean. 🤷🏻‍♂️😄

    This is unrelated to feeding, but I have a uncapped nectar question. I pulled all my supers 6 weeks ago to treat mites with APIVAR. Next week I can put the supers back on. Some frames had uncapped cells when I removed them so I was wondering if the bees will take care of any nectar that may have fermented. Or should I be aware of anything when it comes time to extract once the frames are all capped. Thanks and hope to hear from you! I'm in Sac BTW and just a backyard beekeeper.

      Likely the bees will take care of anything they dont need or cant use. Should be now problem.

    Hello have a question how many frames of honey do you like to see in a double deep before you drop feed on them? In my second year and have 15 Colonies and as you know climbing very quickly. But just wanted to get your advice.

    • @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper
      @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper  4 года назад +2

      Ideally I want the bees to have 6-7 frames of honey stores at all times

    Do you put anything in your syrup to prevent it from going bad? Or do you only make enough to be used in a short time frame?

    • @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper
      @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper  3 года назад +1

      Tyler, I rarely make my own syrup but when I do it's just enough to get us buy. We buy our syrup from Dadant and sometimes Mann lake depending where we are working.

    Great video, thanks. Request: If you could make the video shorter, it would be great. 25 minutes is a little long for a busy person. Thanks again. Lots of useful information. 👍

    How did you put the numbers on the tops of your frames? Is it a wood punch?

    With all that capped honey what would happen if you did also feed them

    • @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper
      @TheCaliforniaBeekeeper  3 года назад +1

      No harm done, they will just storenit and use it when the need. Also keep in mind that queen needs laying room. Thanks for watching Randy.
