Inside the Logistics of Moving and Preparing Bees for Almond Pollination

Pretty tedious stuff we have going on today so I tried to make it as entertaining as possible! Moving and preparing our bees for almonds is a crucial step in making sure they get into California with no issues.

And I think I have it rough with my little 150 hives. Great video Jake, love seeing how the big boys do things. Still planning on visiting with you. God's peace brother.

[@beekeeperjake]

Appreciate that! You’re welcome to stop by anytime!

[@RussellDeptuch]

Small potatoes here! All my hives have cleats as a hand hold and use those with a lift i have in my truck. I am interested in the design of the single hive lift you use to move individual hives. There are times when it would be easier just to locate a hive when the truck won't fit.
Thanks for the video. Russell

I’d love to see more on that hive lifter. I started out with one that grabbed in the hand holds but since moved on to a Mann lake cart.

Commercial beekeepers should ban together and refuse to pollinate almonds until California reduces restrictions. The whole ant thing is crazy. Thanks for the video

[@beekeeperjake]

It’s pretty wild, but California is just being California hahaha

Hey, Jake.Are you gonna go out to california season. Usually , I don't do it when I plan to this year.

[@beekeeperjake]

I’m am going out for a few days to check and put on some Oxalic Acid here in about 2 weeks

[@ryanscott9149]

Have you ever thought of using aluminum for your pallets? You could potentially avoid the issues with ants and other insects.

[@beekeeperjake]

We have discussed that or plastic. Problem is the ants just like to build up next to things. I don't think it would stop them well enough to be worth the work and investment. We can switch about 4-500 in a day with 3 people.
