Thanks, going into winter with 6 hive. Thanks for a the knowledge you've shared. This will be my second winter. First year started with a NUC in the summer came into this year strong. Thanks.
Kamon you’ve got my confidence up so much, I checked mine today bare handed a little pine needle smoke. No aggression at all, thanks so much and all was well for the most just a few beetles,
Singin
Hey Robert Awesome to hear! Just keep in mind I always have the suit handy. I also enjoy going without gloves but some days they are needed.
Can Honey be fed to bees from another source?
It is a safe honey, I’ve also added a little water for the dry sugar.
O , thanks so much!
Thanks !!
Thanks for the video Kamon.
Great tip on removing the excluder for winter. I'm glad yo mentioned this, as I would have made the mistake of leaving it in place for the winter!
Leaving it on is a fatal error.
Did you notice your Queen at 4:42 ? She was right under your hive tool haha. Nice hives, In Ontario i'm looking at a palm size of brood or none at all now.. the Hives are at 9.5 frames of honey though so they are about ready for winter here.
Those hives are winners like the Tide was last night! Thanks for the video K & L. Kamon you need to cook for Laurel occasionally she works very hard! Give her a night off!
I doubt she wants me to cook her food on her night off haha! Maybe a nice restaurant would be a safer bet! ROLL TIDE!
Kamon, anybody that can do the things that you can do can cook a good meal. You just have to want to do it. If nothing else grill her a steak!
I can grill a good steak!
He just jokes in the videos. 🤣 He's actually an amazing cook especially with grilled steak and chicken which he makes for dinner a lot. He might not want to admit it but he helps a ton around the house. We're a team. He's pretty awesome. 😍 Hehe
Laurel Reynolds, that’s what I figured. My wife and I are too! Although, she won’t help with my few bee hives but she will help me extract, bottle and clean up from our little honey harvest. Thanks Laurel for letting the truth be known!
Thanks for sharing Kamon. I'm still seeing Drones here in SW Iowa as well.
The lantern fly hit my area this season. The honeydoo tainted the goldenrod honey but it's tolerable. It also fed the bees through the usual July - August dearth.
I'll have to check out the chat👌
So the daughter moves just next-door... She must have loved her mother so much 😂😂
That was a nice looking Queen in the daughter hive walking around on the bottom of the top first frame you pulled out.
Looked like a Carniolan queen.
Oooh, well spotted! Yeah, she looked nice and big.
Location, location, location. I put pollen patties on three hives along with jars of syrup today.
Treating for mites with Apivar.
Good looking hives. Informative as always Kamon.
Great video. I'm finished opening hives. Let them seal it up. Only opening top to put feeder frame on 2 hives Other 12 looking good weight wise.
Hi Kamon, at about 4:49 you have some brood in the middle of the frame are no longer capped. Are these mature and emerging? The reason I ask is because I have seen some in my hives that are not completely matured but are uncapped and seem dead. Any ideas on what that could be?
Those are some mighty pretty girls you got there dude.
New bee keeper i have been feeding 1 too 1 they are not capping should i stop feeding the three hives have about ten or more frames of un caped i live in Fayetteville N C
I just finished inspecting mine as well.
I miss you guys! I 've been to buissy. Love seeing your inspections! I just went bananas last friday. Like you go bananas in man lake, I go bananas in eidable plants, when able to... about an other 100 perenials and trees moved over here last friday. Mostly different mint. Nuttrees. I hope I will live long enough to see this garden develop 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉🌰🌹🍀🌳🌻
I'm smelling lots of bee bread in my hives!
Drones are everywhere in my hive
Kamon, quick question what do y’all do with your fall flow honey. Freeze it? In the spring.
Drones here in KY as well.
Love your videos. Question: Why do you only put 9 frames in a 10 frame box? Is that for ease of inspection or some other reason?
Thank you for all the nice informative videos you post. I really enjoy them. My 2 hives are doing great...3 deep....and surprisingly they got honey bound. As I installed them this year I do not have comb resources and added one frame of BetterComb to give the Queen room to lay eggs. The bees took it right away. Formic Pro is in the works and after the treatment I will do a full inspection before the cold fall weather kicks in here in the PNW. My question is how do you deal with colonies that are honey bound in the fall? Keep up the good work.
Thanks Kamon and Laurel, last week I expanded a 8 frame that was busting into a 10 frame apimaye. Not much drawn super comb. Should I just keep feeding them sugar syrup? Thanks, Go Dawgs!!
Hey boo lash I have my apimaye still drawing a deep of comb perhaps yours can do the same. You in GA I assume?
I look forward to Bama vs GA always a good game to watch
Yep, thanks
Whatever happened to the insulated hive? How are they doing?
Hi, i would like to know where i can get that hive tool? I was looking at your shop at Amazon but they dont ship to norway, is there any place that you know of?
Thanks for the informative and nice videoes. Greetings from norway.
I noticed that myself. That's a slick tool with the frame hook added to the old standard.
@@beebop9808 if icould find a place that shipped to norway i would order it :)
Yeah that might be a tough one to find.
When will you test for mites and use OAV?
🇹🇷🇹🇷👍
I have for hives and they was deeps and full with bees and I went ahead and and August and I put for deep on them but I did not have any cone to put in the boxes I put plastic frames and put beeswax all over them would cone in time you know or what why should I do could you please let me know and have a blessed day I'll be watching for a comment thank you
Have you heard of the MIGHTY MITE heat treatment for the varroa mite? No pesticides, kills 100% of the mite population. The only mites that survive are the mites on the bees outside of the hive during the treatment. This method of mite control is being used more and more in Europe - according to my research, which, since I am not a bee keeper means little, but.... Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
Links to 2 bee keeping clubs that rent out the system to their members.

I won't be able to tune in tonight, but I will watch the video later in the week.
the hives are 2 deeps
I had to watch 4 minutes commercial video so this is ridiculous.
Cayman can you tell me anything about pre-mixed syrup from Dadant I'm trying to figure out what the ratio is I know you told me you have used it but you use something else are you buying this from a candy maker ra Coca-Cola Company I'm in Texas I'm trying to figure out what the difference is thank you sir
