    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.

    Yes, I say your son, he ate some of the sugar, it was when you brought out the 8 & 5 frame boards.

    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.

    • @BeeManRobert
      @BeeManRobert  Год назад +1

      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.

    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.

    Can I use the candy board for pollen patties?

    • @BeeManRobert
      @BeeManRobert  2 года назад +3

      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

    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?

  • @kenbarnes1071
    @kenbarnes1071 2 года назад +2

    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?

    • @BeeManRobert
      @BeeManRobert  2 года назад +1

      The bees will access from both ways.

  • @jrod07
    @jrod07 Год назад +1

    how do you keep from robbing bees getting into your hive through the top?

    • @BeeManRobert
      @BeeManRobert  Год назад

      The bees will set guard bees at the entrance at the top. They will keep it safe don’t worry.

    Child labor, ha, ha. Nice tips. Any reason to not just put newspaper on the hardware cloth and pour dry sugar on it?

  • @gulliver1416
    @gulliver1416 11 месяцев назад

    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?

    should you seal the wood inside the summer feeder with anything?
