You're about ready for a stool to tend some of those hives.
Hey Randy! Ha! Yeah running a few triple supers this year. That’s pretty rare around here.
For labeling hives, tractor supply sells cow ear tags, yellow with bold black lettering. Mine have lasted 5 years so far with no loss of visibility. I’m guessing they are the ones Jason Chrisman uses.
Thanks Saint John. I'm going to check those out for sure next time I'm in TSC. Thanks for the suggestion!
What if you paint wood under tags (white) so you can see number better
I was thinking the same, should be more visual 👍
Yeah, I might try that. Someone else metioned tractor supply had tags that have very visible numbering that I wouldn't have to write on. Next time I'm in TSC, I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!
Good to see the sticky queen is all cleaned up!! Love the improvised grass anti robbing device!! Excellent video Daren!!
Hey Patrick. Yeah, she cleaned up nice, but failed. Head damaged her. WFM sent me 3 new queens, as they all failed shorstly thereafter.
@@JeromeBeeFarm Oh man!!!
Well Well looks like you are batting a thousand so far . I was looking at some of the comments an people were talking about different kinds an sizes of numbers to try to be able to see them. I person was saying with the older they got had to use bigger numbers well with me I would have to use House numbers you put on your mail box haha 😂. It is good to see you are getting a little relief from those bad storms you all were having out your way . Thanks for the update. Thanks
Hey Kathy, yeah, I'm going to see what those ones at Tractor Supply look like. Supposedly has pre-made numbers as well. Unfortunately, all 3 of these queens failed from heat damage. They all laid a bit, and then disappeared and started emergency queen cells. Several folks commented last video that the heat will damage the queens even though they survive and they won't lay, or lay a bit and dissapear, which is what happened to all 3 of these queens. I contacted Wildflower Meadows, and they sent me 3 new ones and I installed them Wednesday 6/19 and all have been released.
I used cattle tags as well. Mine are yellow plastic with black numbers and they work great. Nice video too.
Hey Al. I'm giong to check those ones out at TSC. Someone else recommended those.
Thx for sharing. Glad to see the queen with the stuck wings looks ok. The blue queen with the stuck wings was boosted, can you remember if she was laying?
Hey Kennith. She did lay a bit, and then failed and was gone. They were making emergency queens. Several folks commented last video that the heat will damage the queens even though they survive and they won't lay, or lay a bit and dissapear, which is what happened to all 3 of these queens. I contacted Wildflower Meadows, and they sent me 3 new ones and I installed them Wednesday 6/19 and all have been released.
I hate robbing season, makes it hard to work the hives that need working.
Hey Kajun. Yeah, you have to be very aware and on the ready to button things up quickly. I might get one of those hive buttlers to set my frames in when I remove them to help cut down on the honey smell. Thanks for watching!
Darren, you were having a good day. You looked for two queens and found them both. Maybe time to go to the casino. LOL
Good day; for spotting queens. A few days later they were all gone. The folks that commented about heat damage to them were correct and all were making emergency queen cells from the few eggs they did lay. WFM sent me 3 new queens and I installed last Wednesday 6/19.
Cow tags off eBay…don’t use the punch part. Write on them with sharpie. Mine have held up for years in sc sun.
I looked at those, then the shiny flashey things caught my eye. LOL I should have known they were too small. lol
Knock on wood I had hive beetles in 2020 back when I first started
and I've never seen them since!
That's good. If the hives are in direct sunlight most of the time, the SHB's are kept to a minimum. I always have a few. Once you get a hive slimed, you pay close attention to your hive strength to stave them off. Thanks for watching!
Robbing... when taking one or two frames out that contain nectar/honey use one of those jester nuc boxes to place them in while inspecting. Will cut down on robbing.
I need to get some of those. Definitely cheaper than the hive butler. I asked HB about featuring some of their products and they politely rushed me off.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I have one of their original ordered before even went into production and then had to wait huge length of time before they delivered. Way too heavy and cumbersome to use and huge space waster (vs hive body) and I'd be concerned when using in the sun of it turning into a solar wax melter... I'd never purchase one now knowing what I know... Just not worth the money they are asking no matter how they promote it. Just my 2 cents. Jester Box more versatile. Also use them if I'm inspecting a hive and find frames with queen cells... isolate all the frames with cells in the Jester until I've assessed the situation and know my game plan... keeps frames from being shifted, moved and pulled multiple times.
put some paint behind them numbers
Yeah, that might work. Thanks for the suggestion!
Use your queen marking pen and write over your numbers so you can see them better
Good idea. Thanks for watching.
Great video, glad the new Queens are alive and working !
Hey Bowhunters, all 3 of these queens failed from heat damage. They all laid a bit, and then disappeared and started emergency queen cells. Several folks commented last video that the heat will damage the queens even though they survive and they won't lay, or lay a bit and dissapear, which is what happened to all 3 of these queens. I contacted Wildflower Meadows, and they sent me 3 new ones and I installed them Wednesday 6/19 and all have been released.
@@JeromeBeeFarm That is sad to hear, hopefully the Queen Cells will make out for you.
Screw the tags to the front of the top cover, most are white and you’re looking up not down, should see them easily.
Yeah, I wanted to keep them in the location and not on the hive. I move my hives pretty frequently, so they would get out of order and I would go crazy with my OCD ducks not being in a row. lol Thanks for watching.
Howdy Darren, the older I get the bigger the numbers have to be for me to read them🤣🤣🤣
Hey Lamb Brook, yeah, need some binoculars in the bee box now. LOL
@@JeromeBeeFarm Yes indeed!🤣
I use small livestock ear tags (attach with a screw) to the lids at the back (since that's where I work from). Got them at Tractor Supply - yellow with black numbering. I'll take six of those robber screens please!
Hey Nancy, someone else mentioned those at TSC. I’m going to check them out next time I’m in there for chicken feed.
@@JeromeBeeFarm I've had mine for 10 years and they are holding up very well. I tend to put the tags on the lids on the back of the hive since that is were I'm working from and take notes. I can unscrew a number if I change lids/setups. On the other hand if you used a cup hooks you could have the tags hanging and removable/changeable. My tags relate to the queen not the hive position so not in any kind of sequential order although they were at the beginning! Tags are yellow with black numbers and I do not use the back clip.
Hey Nancy, sent you an email - pls check it out.
