    Anyone for a honey shower? Well, me either but sometimes it's mjust got to happen. I was so glad when this removal was over and I could get home to shower off. Surprisingly, my hair and skin were silky smooth after my shower. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.

    • @JeffHorchoff

      I have some excellent scaffolding that I use frequently, however, when there is limited space as there was on this removal, a ladder is a much better choice to do the removal on.

    Y'all may be exhausted and think have some dis-spirited thoughts, but from my clean and cozy spot in the bleachers all I could think throughout that capture was "put a gold star on that hive!"
    The size/thickness of that comb. The look of that queen. The population. The temperament (that queen walked into the cage!). The amount of honey stores still there at winter's end. That is a hive you want to take splits off of and expand that bloodline.

    Those cells were three c's worth of thicc. Gorgeous looking too. Looks like you've caught another wonderful addition to your honey farm.

    • @JeffHorchoff

      I regret not showing the density of drones in this hive, almost unbelievable. Still, the worker bees outnumbered them at least 5 to one. You are correct, these bees will be a very welcome addition in our yard. Thanks for watching. God's peace.

    • @JeffHorchoff

      I really like keeping the bees on the comb now, it is a practice I have recently began and it is really paying off by keeping the brood alive and allowing the bees to acclimate so much quicker. The rate is always based on what the market will pay, if what you are doing now works, keep doing it.

    that looked to be an absolutely massive hive but with very conveniently sized pieces of comb! it also looked to be absolutely loaded with honey. do you have an estimate of the number of bees and the amount of honey it contained? aside from taking a honey shower because of the location how do your shoulders cope with that many hours of work above your head? when that machete fell it looked a bit scary a very good tool but one with some danger attached! also missed your taking a taste test! Impressive work as ever!

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  5 месяцев назад +1

      The comb size fit perfect into a frame which made the job so much easier to do. I guess there was over 40,000 bees in the hive and I got over 3 gallons of honey along with all the honey the bees got and the homeowner as well. The over head work is not what hurts, it's the hours on the ladder, my legs get very tired from all that up and down. Thanks for watching. Until the next one, God's peace Jean.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  5 месяцев назад

      When there is a dearth, no nectar flow, bee will forage on any sweet source so I'm sure they have eaten fruit juice but not so sure about maple sap.

      En fantastisk bikupa helt klart med bra genetik där. Jag visades metoden att använda gummibanden på det sättet för cirka 2 år sedan och har använt det sedan dess. Det är så mycket enklare än att använda mindre band och snyggare att lägga in kammen i ramen istället för att gå runt den. Jag använder ett 7 X1/8 tums gummiband som jag köper från Amazon. De kommer i en låda med 200 för cirka 10 $ US. Tack för att du tittade, och jag hoppas att du kommer att kolla in fler av mina bibråk/biräddningsäventyr och låt mig veta vad du tycker om dem.
