Its hot. Had to get the bees some water. This is just how I did it. Using a PoPo soap solar pump.

Nice Video, you gained a subscriber... When I bought my land years ago, I thought about bees but got goats instead. And I'm from the Honey Capital of the world(two cities claim it if you look it up)

I had trouble with BEES getting in the cow tank and drowning, I had some old trampoline net laying around, draped it over the edge with 2 clamps no more DROWNING

I've watched other beekeeper content that using an insulated hive is great in a cold region. I would think that a highly insulated bee barn would work great in a hot area as well, but always try to have noon to afternoon shade on the bees, early daytime seems just fine.

They say direct sunlight is better for hive beetle prevention. the hives get shade around four o'clock. usually direct sunlight around 8. I might insulate during the winter months. Thanks for the comment/

Something I love asking and that is how you became a beekeeper ? I bought my property and it had an established hive in an outside wall of the machine shop . I never knew of it swarming but I had bought a hive and the equipment to move the hive into . Well this spring the hive swarmed , a small swarm but a swarm which I caught and put into the hive I had bought . I called a friend who was a beekeeper and had equipment . I brought over another hive just in case and sure enough it swarmed again about a week later then twice the following week which I missed because I had no more hives . The following week it swarmed again and it was huge and other than a few robber bees the hive in the wall was gone . And now I am a beekeeper .

Mine wasn't quite that dramatic..lol. my wife started watching bee content on you tube ( on the TV in the living room) and I got interested. So I bought equipment and a nuc the next spring.
