Now that you talked about wax sheets and swarming. Wire the frame only horizontally.. when the queen lays it, take the bottom of the comb and push it to make one side of the eggs pointing down. Push the frame next to it to give it some security, to keep it horizontal for the start or make two legs until the bees reinforce it. Back yard beekeepers will have all the cells they need right there
Thanks for laughing with me! There is nothing like being on air and knowing you know something but you can't summon it out of the file drawers in the old gray matter.
In climate similar to yours.. bees can fly out almost every day to relieve them self.. l keep all my double deeps (200ish) brood on top, food under for the coldest part of the year. They have no problem bringing up what they need and are always dry in the warmest part of the hive. Bottom box should have 8 frames or 10 but the end ones must be fully capped honey so the humidity slides down
Thanks! Ha Kamon good live chat I did not get to watch it but I have a couple of questions if you would be so kind to answer. 1 how do u buy the videos from last time expo, and 2 I am in Virginia our weather is about the same I would think. I am feeding my bees 2 gal buckets, of1-1 sugar syrup been doing so since july anso pollen sub at what temps do i stop when does the queen stop laying winter bees I like large clusters and we do not have any kind of fall flow where i am . thanks so much and have a Blessed week
Hear a lot that Apiguard will cause the queen to shut down for a while. What is the average amount of days? Hard to make an educated decision about using it without that info. Couldn't find it on the manufactures website and have heard you say it, along with many others. Do they only shut down on the first dose or again on the second dose and again if you do a third dose. Kamon how many days shutdown have you observed?
I am a newbie, but it has contributed I think to my present condition of no eggs;larva or brood. At least 10 days in my thoughts...guessing. North Central OH
Missed again 😅 bee stuff was happening. Willow catkins popped today and the bees are nailing it😂 i love pollen 😂 got gorse willow and a little apricot pollen too, woohoo 👍😃 get some rest Man, you look beat. I don't know how you pack it all in. screw the damn RUclips videos take a couple of weeks off and spin some honey and relax, unless extracting honey is stressful for you, personally i find it relaxing but i don't have a wife and children and a RUclips channel either so i can just take my sweet time with it. Just put up some RUclips reruns for a couple of weeks 😂 don't know how you do it, i sure as heck couldn't fit video stuff in and expos and classes and running a business and having a family...im tired just typing it out, how are you not dead😂 its either a mythril shirt or something 👍👋
Ian Steppler also said the content of his videos offered wouldn't change but it has. Maybe all his content has changed but the non paid version is very basic. I still enjoy it but it has changed.
I'll be blunt as ever. We can see Ian's biggest hobby is collecting Canadian dollars. I have nothing against it.. it's a great hobby. I hope and think Kamon has some other ones too
@@researcherAmateur I don't know much about Ian's business but he definitely has a lot of debt and overhead I will wager. I have a lot of hobbies that I like to do that aren't beekeeping like - reading, hiking mountains, swimming, snorkeling, sports, bluegrass, hunting, gardening, farming. However, like many adults I don't get to do most of my hobbies very often. I have kids to homeschool, I am in the process of hiring employees, I have an old septic tank that needs replaced, a 2003 car that is going out on me, I am trying to learn how to run a better conference, and all the bee stuff and the general stuff we adults get to do instead of our hobbies. I do hope to enjoy a little more time away from beekeeping in the future but the industry, some beekeepers, and several small businesses benefit from my work and it is from there and my family I derive the motivation to work hard and spend less time on my hobbies.
@@kamonreynolds l didn't won't to say anything bad. He says it himself , specially in the good flow. And I bet you're right about him needing it... l don't have to explain it to you. We're used to work more jobs at the same time all our lives. I meant it like a joke. And you know I write stuff like that. When I was young I give up being a bee doctor with a white coat in a lab to come back home be a fisherman, mechanic and beekeeper in the field on the open. I never regret it.. the type of fishing I did for tuna and swordfish made a lot of money and I have time for bees. I was lucky to have a father who was a great people guy (kinda like you) and l have a lot of connections in the business of beekeeping around Europe. To not make it too long, I have great respect for Ian and what he does.. but the comment was too tempting 😁👋 I almost forgot.. my compliments to mrs. Reynolds who started all this... I remember when we were 200-300 on a small channel with all those lives. I was 'varroa gone' 🤣stupid name. You made my old man relearn how to write English. Too long again. Sorry
@@kamonreynolds it's not against Ian. I respect a hard worker , always. You know I can't resist a joke on a comment... my ended up under the newest comments section

Kamon, what do I need to do to enter my honeys into the honey contest at your Bee Expo in Louisville 2025. I am in KY just above Nashville
😂😂😂 I'm laughing because I've actually forgotten the common name for that same tool! Funny, I've been a machinist for 40 years!
