Would love to see the honey house and the harvesting process!
Good to see your harvest next door. Can you imagine the harvest if we hadn't had the mass swarms this year?
@@MinnesotaBeekeeper definitely shot some swarms off myself this year!
I still use the built in spacers. So much more honey from 9 frames than 10. I only use shallows, never graduated to mediums.
@@dailytrader6137 thanks for the feedback dailytrader
I still have a lot of supers with spacers. Don't have much small hive beetle issue at elevation in NC mountains.
Thank you for you Expertise and insight
Looking beautiful! Well done!
Kamon, it seems that you are becoming a fan of northern beekeeping.
Great frames bro!! You pulled the genius stroke of moving those hives up there and look what a gamble it was! Well done!! Now you’ve got hours and hours of darned extraction!!! See you in the next video!! 😌🙏🤓🐝🧑🌾
@@richardnoel3141 lol exactly what have I done! Good times!
@@kamonreynolds he who dares wins!! 🐝🧑🌾 #beefarmer
Awesome!!!
I have some shallows that were given to me that have the spacers in them. I guess the only thing that's kind of an issue, but not really a problem, is when you go to pry them up it's not as easy as when they're able to slide freely.
Nice moves👍😃 i use deeps for everything, its all part of my cunning plan so i don't get mistaken for a dwarf or a hobbit living in New Zealand 😂 but im convinced hobbits get those feet from hauling deeps full of honey😂 that was a nice looking deep frame btw id be stoked 👍😃
Lol well good luck with this year honey crop andyour back!
@@kamonreynolds 😂 my backs fine it's my damn arms at the end of the day that's the problem 😂
Way to go. I hope you make a ton of money
70% of my supers have 9 frame spacers, all my other supers that are 10 frame are the boxes that get 10 new foundations installed that way they draw it clean and even. The following year I'll add the spacers to the boxes and rotate in new boxes with new foundations again
Looks like a pretty good haul
It is!
I use shallow supers only for comb honey same as you!
Do you do anything special to start them? Or do you just throw them in and let them do their thing?
@@seibelcrs I cut surplus wax foundation in half lengthwise then glue it to top bar with beeswax, basically a starter strip
I still use shallows and us the spacers. Mainly because I bought 14 shallow supers with drawn comb they had to quit beekeeping. I think it’s so much easier for me that I added them to my mediums too. I’m only in my 3rd year and only have 41 hives. Love your videos may see you in Virginia in late October. Definitely will see you in January.
Happy Harvesting 🐝
Thank you!
i still use 9 frame spacers that are built in.
Love the phat frames! Got 7 to 9 pounds heavier in 9 frame over my 10’s. Ditched the spacers due to beetles, ants, and cleaning frame rests…
I love them plus sized also! Thanks for the feedback!
Well now will you winter the bees here in Wisconsin. I've been doing it for years.
@@danschneider9219 back to TN they go to hopefully make a TN crop April and May
interested to know how many gallons you have from the one haul, looks fantastic.
This is the first pull. I expect over 200 gallons out of this 1 yard
@kamonreynolds fantastic results, how many hives are you harvesting from in that one yard?
@@cameronb6498 44
@@kamonreynolds sounds like a booming crop, I'm sure it's been a blast.
@@cameronb6498 if you love adventure, beekeeping, and the great outdoors, it was awesome.
Great vid...as usual...I still have some shallows I started out with. Do you do anything special for comb honey, like use starter strips or do you just let them make it on their own?
Thanks! I do use the cut comb foundation from Mann lake. I cut it into 1 inch strips and let the bees do the rest
Hey Kamon, Since when do you have bee yards in Wisconsin?
Since this year. Just for the summer!
@@kamonreynolds was it worth the trip?
@@thomascampbell3307 yes it was
Do you need to have them cap the entire frames or is it that they just got plugged out ?
1/3 were plugged out and so we put empty supers on and left what few supers didn't have much in them.
I could get all the bees and super in one load anyways with the rig I have so 2 trips it is!
@@kamonreynolds I know different regions demand different practices. We are dry up here so we don’t gauge by cappings for MC. In fact, we despise cappings as it slows the honey house down. Although bringing in capped boxes fill the tank quicker lol
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog wild! In Tennessee we can be so humid some year we can be called and still be flirting with disaster so we also dry em out if they aren't 17 or lower
Is that Wisconsin honey the same rules as Tennessee?
@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog I have no clue! It is not near as hot or as humid. I need to talk to Chris Werner and see what he has to say about it. Fixing to take a refractometer to it
I still have 9 frame metal spacers but some got rusty and I removed them, can I get assembled wax dipped shallows at the EXPO?
@@Drewjober I have not seen anyone offer shallows there but I bet if you reach out to the company's they might do it this early. How many are you thinking?
@@kamonreynolds 10, I’ll ask natures image , or I’ll get medium instead it’s all good thanks
I have 150 hives, I am thinking of going migratory (like your WI trip,) how would I go about finding info on where and when to go? I sent them to the almonds with a friend last spring, it saved me after this terrible honey year in asheville.( good or bad adea?) almonds were paying $240.00 per hive last year.
The only way I know is to know people who do it. And even with that locations a few miles apart can make a huge difference in actual productivity, then you have to find yards. I have friends in this region so that helps me out but without them I would not have a beeyard to begin with.
How many hives to you have?
couple hundred
@@kamonreynolds nice I have 5 hope to add more next year
hey Kamon, any knowledge about brazilian peppers in oct down in fla?
Just enough to be dangerous sorry!
Have you become a cheesehead?
Just for the summer flow!
How long have you got small hive beetle?
Here in the US?
@kamonreynolds yes in the U.S.A., we don't have it in the British Isles, thanking you for your reply Kamon
@@peterg2569 we have had the beetles in the US since the 90's. The aren't near as bad as varroa but they are very aggravating. The cooler the season the less of a problem they are!
That shirt way too clean bro...
Brand new!
