This was very informative. Thank you. (Not only for the way I can get rid of mosquitoes but also how I can know if my barrels did not have chemicals in them.)
Thank you for the various tips, AND it's nice to hear someone else knows about chickens! Mine used to 'escort' me to the bee yard. If I found a hive or just a frame with anything on it, the chickens would pick the frame cell by cell - without opening ones the bees had sealed. Got a hive (once) infested with wax worm and moth. Boy did those chickens have a ball! Even the rooster was right in there chortling and chuckling as only a rooster can. :)They'd even snag a wasp right off the bees' landing board, or wait for a couple of bees struggling to drag out an invading yellow jacket - and then a beak would swoop in for that helping 'hand' - never saw them hit a bee. And bees would take to hanging out on hens' backs as they scratched away at, and under, the hives. funnily enough, although testing for SHB is mandatory in our area, we never got even one letter saying any had been found. The testing is not left to the beeks to do, someone from the ministry comes out to collect and sometimes will test on the spot. To my knowledge (and our records) not ONE was ever found. Our hives, being russions, tended to vary in number by the week; but on average we'd have 9 double deeps every winter, then as soon as we dug them out (Great Lakes Snowbelt - up to 5' of snow on the level, every year) we'd start splitting immediately. Some would get split almost as soon as they got relocated(especially the fields of buckwheat), and others, we'd end up with a call of them having swarmed. So we'd end up catching a swarm and placing them right back in a new hive next to their mother colony. Meh, it worked.
Am reading your comment a year later and find it very interesting about the chickens diving into the cells for those moths and not damaging cells. Will keep this in mind when the moths show up in my first hive I am about to install. Love that chickens won't bite the bees that feed them:) Thanks for posting the info, hope alls well with your bees!
Yep, they work - never knew just HOW well until this spring. I brought those 'feeder' fish inside to the aquarium (at a full 11 or 12 inches long) and they died. Didn't want to replace them just to have them die again at the end of this year. Until I walked past the rain barrel. The 'wiggletails' as you've called 'em, were so thick that when I got the new feeders and let them go..they actually floated on the surface for almost 10 minutes, before the first one leaped and dove through the matting of larvae, the others quickly followed, suddenly I've got clear water, about 5" on the topmost part of the barrel. Thanks for sharing that with everyone else too.
If you're in the south check with your county and you may be able to get FREE Gambusia, AKA mosquito fish. They're about the same size as a guppy and they flat tear up mosquito larvae.
Put old cooking oil covering the whole surface of the water. It will usually kill the larvae and I have witnessed mosquitoes getting stuck in the oil and die.
I just checked to be safe and you CAN put up bat houses to control mosquitoes. Since they come out AFTER the bees hole up for the night, they are NOT a threat to the bees. I have a friend who keeps bees and I'm going to suggest he allow the chickens to have better access to the area around the bees. I just read on another site that chickens will not eat bees. They even pick pest bugs away from the frames without harming bees.
Great info about testing barrels for their safety. I have two that I didn't want to get rid of and didn't know how to see if they're safe to use for water.
You have already added your fish, but next time, add a drop of Dawn dish soap... just a drop to the standing barrel water... that causes the larva to drown, due to the soap not allowing the water skin tension to break open when they touch the surface to breath... Check back in an hour, and no more larva.. and the adults go to land on the surface, and like wise, the water skin tension, doesn't allow them to rest on top of the water, and basically just fall in the water, as the soap leaches onto them, and can't fly away, hence, also drown... its a win win... and one drop of soap in a 50 gallon drum, wont hurt the plants, or your live stock or chickens... The larva will sink.. but the adults will float... to make collection of the floaters, use an aquarium fish net, (the little green ones for like 3 bucks USD), and when it is time to skim the top water surface... take your regular table salt and pepper (only the pepper) and in the middle of the barrel, do one dash/sprinkle of black pepper. That will push the old soap film to the outer edge, while pushing the dead floaters along with the soap film.. scoop them up.... I use a paper towel, to wipe the edges and to soak up the pepper's natural oil, and then in a day or three, go back out, add another drop of Dawn dish soap.. or once a week works well for me.. I wouldn't do this if you already have your fish in there, as it would stress their gills and likely kill them... But, the chicken would eat those fish too...
This is just awesome ! So glad i watched ! I also Subbed you! Thank you for a great video ! Look forward to going though all your other posts ! God bless !.
I'm desperate for a Mosquito Solution...I already have the blue barrels. I live in a wooded area & I have a pond. Plenty of access, just add some knowledge. Thank you for sharing
I would probably use bluegill for a few reasons. They are aggressive, low maintenance, you don't risk releasing an invasive species into the ecosystem if something crazy happens.... Also, they taste better than goldfish.
@@jadesluv goldfish are domesticated asian carp, they poop a lot and outcompete native species for food. www.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/science/discarded-goldfish-invasive-species.html
I have two of the big white water containers, like the one to the right of your blue barrel in the video, in my yard that are infested with mosquitoes. How would the goldfish do in those? Do you have any suggestions specific to cleaning those out?
Last summer Bumblebees and bees that look like yours made my small backyard and two bushes with tiny white flowers their home. They liked each other very well but did not care for me or my Black Lab. Even the songbirds left to get away! A bumblebee got stuck in my hair and it was traumatic for both of us. My neighbors didn't have any problems. If they come back this year, how do I let them know they are not welcome? My poor dog had a perpetual swollen face from catching them. The vet said my dog had been stung and caught so many, that he has developed a very low allergic tolerance. The next sting will be very hazardous to him. I was repeatedly stung also. I didn't go after them or harrass them. My plan was to get us inside as fast as possible. I have lived here for several years and haven't made any changes to the yard. Last summer was a first for us. Any ideas?
Okay, so first of all.. I like the idea of hardware cloth for entrance reducer!! Nice! In regards to the goldfish, wouldn't that barrel need some type of pump for aeration ? How do you prevent the water from becoming stagnant? I think that is great use for that water barrel, but wonder how long those fish will live ? Thanks for sharing the video David. You've got a great piece of land. Loved this video
ik this is 3 years late but no you dont need to ph or aerate the barrel. Goldfish, bettas, guppies have lungs no gills. they come up to the surface to breathe they dont need oxygen in the water to live. also you only really need feed them like once a week cuz they're eating the larvae unless they ate all the larvae then feed them like every 2,3 days or so
A burning candle repels mosquitoes. Mosquitoes do not like the smell of open honey either. Vector Control Authority gives away free mosquito fish here. They are available thru selected pet shops or at their headquarters..
Another traditional way is to pour some cooking oil or spray a layer of PAM, just a abit is needed to spread out to cover the top layer of water. Mosquito larvae won't be able to breathe with the layer of oil.
I have been looking at installing a bat house, have you given them any consideration, to get rid of the Mosquitos?? I just wonder about enticing bats to occupy it. Can't use fish here, primarily because of invasive species laws, and the only standing water is a dishpan for the bees, I got a solar fountain to keep the bugs out of there..
I agree they don't do shit for skeeters, I have bats everywhere, literally can throw a rock up around any light and have multiple bats chase it down, they do nothing for skeeters. I think bats feed way to heigh to eat them, there is no way skeeters can fly that high due to wind, bats are always 50ft in the air at least.
Why not just wait until the larvae are seen then just drain the barrel and let them fertilize the lawn? Also I would suggest use a kids wading pool. Easier to see the larvae and if using goldfish net and feed them when they have done the job. I have not tried any of the above.
Barnyard Bees yeah, I thought about that afterwards. With a spigot on the bottom, or at end of season or something, you could draw that off and use it on the garden or something. Probably be pretty useful.
Only problem with this arrangement being that the water might not be properly oxygenated and stagnant, which will probably kill the fish over time. Of course, they were feeder fishies in the first place, so they were probably going to die in the first place, but it's still really sad for me personally, haha.
All you need is one betta fish In a barrel. You dont need that many fish... They will starve to death when you don't feed them....also too many gold fish will make the water goes bad and stink... One betta fish can clean up all the lava, betta can live for a long time and keep the water clean.... Get the plakat fighter betta is the best... They're alot stronger than most other betta fish.... Dont get the one in the pets store..
I simply cut a hole and put a piece of window screen on a piece of PVC (think entrance reducer) and put it into the hole. It keeps the mosquitoes out. We typically empty our rain barrels before the next rain comes around here (Dallas, TX).
My drum was shut tight with a lid and yet I got mosquitoes larvae. I might try to use a fine netting first before I get the fish in. Thanks for the tip.
Throw some guppies in there and some plants like Elodea. Throw some stuff in there for the fish to breed. There will be zero mosquitoes. Comets produce too much waste. And they get way too big like a foot long.
@@jadesluv no dumbass, I thought only people from southwest virginia called mosquito larvae wiggle tails. Iv traveled all over the US and never heard anyone else use that name for them except here.
Yeah. That unique, singular pest we call the mosquito, known as the bane of southwest Virginia. Hopefully the rest of the country will never have to experience mosquitoes.
mane ..that goin only work if you got wiggle tails in your barrel...what but us who dont have barrels?..at firist thought you was goin empty the water the say dont have standing water...didnt see the fish thing..but make sense fish eat wiggles..but that wont stop the ones out already then what you do when they finish you goin leave them there? so not much of honey of idea but you tried...we looking for solutions like a spray you can make or some kind techineque we havnt heard of...fish? not really goin work for us in many situations...bee safe
So I listened to the bee chat that was posted on you tube last week and don said basically you were as he put it "treading on thin ice" or something bec you had said you have his stock of bees and he commented that "only his students have his bees ect and you're not one. If you ask me it was unprofessional and rude of him to just put you on blast when you promote the shit out of him all the time. So...correct me if I'm wrong but if I buy packages of bees from you, then raise a bunch more from them, I will then essentially "have your stock". Anyway I'm sure you heard about the whole thing already but I just had to say I think don is and has done a whole lot for beekeepers and has gotten really well known but that was not right. Ok well I feel like I spoke my piece and it is what it is but it was a chicken shit move on dons part. I do love the chats, his videos and your videos and I all around love bees so I hope my comment isn't taken for more than an opinion. I think Don should probably say sorry for kinda throwing you down in front of the world. That's it have a good one....
1. There's no hiding places for the fish. 2. The surface area is to small for co2 exchange so your fish never breath right. 3. No agitation. No airation. No filtration. 4. What do they eat when there's no mosquitoes? (Each other). People here on Hawaii do this. Thier barrels are gross and full of dead fish because they think you can just toss them in and walk away. Ignorant. These fish need daily care and proper equipment. Go to my YT page here and see what a poor guy does when PROPERLY keeping Platties. This guys method is not proper.
Aren't you pretty much just cooking the fish while leaving them in the bag? Yeah, who cares, I guess, they're only 25 cents a piece... Hey- you asked for the likes, subs, n comments...
AS SOON as you brought the bag up, I was like ".. HA.. funny joke.."
.. and then I *thought about it* for a second.
That is absolutely genius.

then you set the oil on fire. only fire truly kills bloodsuckers !
You don't even need to cover the surface with cooking oil. A spoonful of oil will do just fine, as the larvae will get stuck in it and die off.
I'll have to try this out in my back yard this year! Just gotta remember to bring the fishies back in for upstate NY winter

Thanks David. I try to keep all water emptied from all barrels. I will try this.
Most water municipalities give away mosquito fish for free instead of buying goldfish
You can also use dried cow patties-- preferably from beef cattle. They dry more solidly.
How long do the fish last? Can you keep them alive if you feed them through the winter?
This is just awesome ! So glad i watched ! I also Subbed you! Thank you for a great video ! Look forward to going though all your other posts ! God bless !.
Do you feed the fish as well as the mosquito buffet?
I think the reason the fish die is from lack of oxygen. You need a way to create bubbles
@robb only if the water is lacking in oxygen. He can get a cheap air pump from walmart in the pet dept. Add a nice size air stone and there you go.
Put guppies they eat larve.
If he get the sum to create bubbles then mosquitoes wouldn’t breed in it they like to breed in still water

How do the fish survive without any airation?
Good tip David Thanks.
your a good neighbor!
when it rains do it flood the gold fish out?
The fish are smart enough to swim to the bottom of the barrel
Gambusia aka mosquito fish are better at that. You can get the fancy version called guppy to go into the tank. Makes great winter chicken food.
Just a thought.
Less grass, more flowers = better honey production.
I see loads of bee keepers with no flowers in thier yards Noenic free though.
but do u just leave the gold fish in the barrels? i tried killing the larvae with boiling water
will they live through the winter
I have two of the big white water containers, like the one to the right of your blue barrel in the video, in my yard that are infested with mosquitoes. How would the goldfish do in those? Do you have any suggestions specific to cleaning those out?
Such is life in the country
If the goldfish eat all of the mosquito larvae then won't they starve? So do you also have to give them some regular goldfish food?

putting gold fish in a pond, not good for the clairety of the water, they multiply like crazy and stir up the mud so much you can't see into the water
You can also put a small layer of vegetable oil and it will suffocate them
Yea but then you can‘t rinse the honey off your hands
Wouldn't that oil also harm the honey bees? They need to drink water as well, which is probably why he doesn't have his drums covered.
i wonder how well feeder guppies would work in those barrels.
great idea...
feeder guppies live in water between 55 and 105 °F; Bluegill live between 39 to 90 °F; goldfish live between 50 to 78 °F
Okay, so first of all.. I like the idea of hardware cloth for entrance reducer!! Nice! In regards to the goldfish, wouldn't that barrel need some type of pump for aeration ?

Tim Huffman gold fish are rather hardy. They don't need much and aren't particular about the water ph and aeration.

A burning candle repels mosquitoes. Mosquitoes do not like the smell of open honey either. Vector Control Authority gives away free mosquito fish here. They are available thru selected pet shops or at their headquarters..

I’d think one goldfish per barrel would be enough. I can put one little bluegill in water holes with mosquitoes and they will eat them all.

Does this actually cut down the mosquito bites or just take away the hatching of eggs
do I need to say that is a dumb question or have you realized by now?
Alan if you disrupt the life cycle by eating the larvae what do you suppose would happen? Here is a clue for the clueless, mosquitos are not immortal!
@@jadesluv maybe yours aren't, but my mosquitoes just laughed at us when we got a hundred dollar a month service, that didn't work.
Thanks a lot, I will be trying this in my water bud. Silly question: do you still need to feed the gold fish?
Solar pump and air stone will move water and pump air to allow that water to have more oxygen in those fish will thrive
Goldfish do not need aeration, only if they are over populated, but even then not so much.
What do you do with the goldfish?
did you not watch the video?
Rude
Why not just wait until the larvae are seen then just drain the barrel and let them fertilize the lawn? Also I would suggest use a kids wading pool. Easier to see the larvae and if using goldfish net and feed them when they have done the job. I have not tried any of the above.

What about the fish poop? Water will be pretty rank after a while, no?
Barnyard Bees yeah, I thought about that afterwards. With a spigot on the bottom, or at end of season or something, you could draw that off and use it on the garden or something. Probably be pretty useful.
Just make sure they don’t make it into a waterway. Goldfish are super invasive and can be a detriment to native aquatic plants and other fish.
Only problem with this arrangement being that the water might not be properly oxygenated and stagnant, which will probably kill the fish over time. Of course, they were feeder fishies in the first place, so they were probably going to die in the first place, but it's still really sad for me personally, haha.

I do love the chats, his videos and your videos and I all around love bees so I hope my comment isn't taken for more than an opinion. I think Don should probably say sorry for kinda throwing you down in front of the world. That's it have a good one....
1. There's no hiding places for the fish. 2. The surface area is to small for co2 exchange so your fish never breath right.
3. No agitation. No airation. No filtration.
4. What do they eat when there's no mosquitoes? (Each other).
People here on Hawaii do this. Thier barrels are gross and full of dead fish because they think you can just toss them in and walk away.
Ignorant. These fish need daily care and proper equipment.
Go to my YT page here and see what a poor guy does when PROPERLY keeping Platties.
This guys method is not proper.
Aren't you pretty much just cooking the fish while leaving them in the bag?
Yeah, who cares, I guess, they're only 25 cents a piece...
