I ordered two of your feeders. This will be what I try to winter my Bees this year. Thanks for the Video. You did an excellent job of managing your help and teaching at the same time.
Those top feeders literally are the best feeders, and I have been doing the same thing you do for years. The only problem I have with them is my Russians are such angry bees in hot, humid weather, like we've had in Missouri, they will swarm you. My others, no problem. I can't smoke any of my bees, as it makes them angrier. I just use light sugar water. Just ordered 3 more candyboards. Thank you!
I was surprised to hear you say not to use the inner cover? Why is that? Thanks for great video and your products are top notch...live in Indiana and have two hives.
Hi. I live in Ohio as well. Do you wrap your hives in winter or have a wind block for your hives? Thank you for the video. I just got my boards and I am ready to use them. God Bless.

I recently received some of your winterizing equipment and it looks great. Thanks so much for helping me get my bees ready for winter! Great video guys!
Thanks for the video! Love your helpers. I'm in my first year of beekeeping. Your products have helped me out so much (robbing screen, candy board & quilt box). I've been so happy with your product and timely delivery. Great Job Little Larue Apiary!
Just subscribed to your channel, new beek this year. Thanks for such a straightforward video, it answered all of the questions that I had about using candy boards. Can't wait to check out more of your tips.
Thank you so much for such a clear, concise explanation on how to winter feed the bees. I ordered the candy board and top feeder and they are extremely well made so definitely 5+ stars! I also immensely enjoyed your helpers and your interaction with them. Thank you!

I'm always happy to support small businesses and the quality of your boards are great! I'm in IL so I'll probably throw mine on in the next week. I usually do mine before/around Thanksgiving just to get them on early. Thanks! Great stuff!

Hi Robert, really love your video - I’ve watched it several times over a few months bc I keep forgetting the info - I finally made my candy board 🎉😅❤, was as easy as you show. High quality product for sure! I didn’t put anything on the bottom between the screen and sugar. When I put it on the hive it was bumped up leaving an 1/8” gap. Adding the wood made it worse. I just cinched everything down tight with my strap but now there’s no bee space. Anyway, wondering how to do this better next time? I’m thinking a little spacer might be in order😊
Beeman Robert! Thank you for an extraordinary video-I am a new keeper, buying a nuc at the end of the month, get my bees March 26 in San Diego. Would the candy board be appropriate to help them get started?
Received my board yesterday. Your video is great! I'm a new bee keeper. When placing the candy board on top will the bees go up through the hive to eat the candy or come in through the front hole?
Thank you for the video. Where can I get the slats that you put on top of the frames? I went to the hardware store and the strapping they showed me was too thick (1/2"). Any suggestions? Also how big is the hole in the front?

I LOVE YOUR IDEA,IM THINKING OF USING BREAD PANS FOR CANDY TREATS LIKE YOU MAKE WITH MOLASSES,SYRUP SUGAR.HEAT 350 FOR 15 MINUTES,WHAT DO YOU THINK.
Kids are great!!
Love these boards! I got more for the upcoming winter as my apiary has grown! Thank you!
That's nice that you got the kids involved. Hopefully, they'll grow up to be the next generation. beekeepers.
Thanks for the video, I'm just south of you so I'm glad to get local advice and support a local product :D
Thanks for the video that answered all my wintering questions
Yes, I say your son, he ate some of the sugar, it was when you brought out the 8 & 5 frame boards.

Thanks for the video making my boards today. I saw Ben eat at least a pound!
We just bought both the candy board and the feeder/installation box. Thanks for saving our bees in Texas. ❤🐝🐝🐝
Got my boards and making the sugar now thank you and your kids are great little helpers
I was surprised to hear you say not to use the inner cover? Why is that? Thanks for great video and your products are top notch...live in Indiana and have two hives.
Because that gives an additional hole for unwanted pest to get inside. Inner covers have a hole usually. That’s why I said not to use one.

Daughter: Dad, it's going to explode!
Bee Man Robert: No
Daughter: Oh
🤣
Love it! Your kids are so cute! I’m excited to use my candy boards this winter. Thanks so much!
Can I use the candy board for pollen patties?
You can put the pollen patty on the top of the frames. You could put the pollen in the middle of the sugar if you want to use the Candy board

The bees will access from both ways.
how do you keep from robbing bees getting into your hive through the top?
The bees will set guard bees at the entrance at the top. They will keep it safe don’t worry.
This is my first year of bee keeping
Child labor, ha, ha. Nice tips. Any reason to not just put newspaper on the hardware cloth and pour dry sugar on it?
Thank you for the video. Where can I get the slats that you put on top of the frames? I went to the hardware store and the strapping they showed me was too thick (1/2"). Any suggestions? Also how big is the hole in the front?
جيد جدا
سيبدا الشتاء لدينا
هل من الممكن ان نضعها للنحل في وقت الشتاء .
ما هي الكمية التي تكفي خلية واحدة
و شكرا لك
should you seal the wood inside the summer feeder with anything?
Would you leave the queen separator underneath the candy board?
No there is no need for it
