Skunks can be a big problem for hives. Cute little creatures, but love Bee's and comb.

@WoolieBsApiary 6 күн бұрын

@gene-sloca I've trapped 3 at my home yard and I've never had one mess with the bees. My hives are 30 inches off the ground. I can't trap the armadillo that's tearing up my yard. It's to smart to go into the trap.

I just throw a bed sheet over them in a live trap, grab the handle thru the sheet, load the trap up in the back of the truck bed and relocate to the forest pond. Never been sprayed yet.

no because of the blue polystyrene insulation. trees do not have a top vent. any moisture will form on the side walls run down and out the entrance but they will collect it to thin the honey to eat and get the medicinal benefits of the propolis on the side walls

@weirhauch1002 4 ай бұрын

Robbing happens with Langstroth boxes because you and other beekeepers externally feed their bees sugars and everything these bees are used to storing sugar from any source ,so the victims are the smaller hives .

@WoolieBsApiary 4 ай бұрын

@weirhauch1002 if you knew the time and the reason for this hive getting robbed you might have a clue. When a queen does not make it back and the other hives smell that they go after a free meal. Timing is everything in beekeeping. Yes I feed during the dearth no its not a massive massive amount of sugar. It might be 50 lbs over 4 weeks. 2 to 3 lbs per 5 gallons of water. You figure out the rest

@weirhauch1002 4 ай бұрын

@WoolieBsApiary sorry for this .This phenomena never happens amongst my bee hives .I follow natural beekeeping. I select stronger colony and they seem to defend themselves well against varroa and other diseases .I open the boxes at sunset because nearby Langstroth bees (always hungry) attack mine .

@WoolieBsApiary 4 ай бұрын

@weirhauch1002 i select the strongest genetics and im mite treatment free but the question I have is how many colonies do you have in one location and do you sell nucs and queens. The only yard I feed is my nuc and queen yard and that's only in the last 2 weeks August and the first week sometimes 2 of September because my home yard can not support 75 to 100 colonies.

@weirhauch1002 4 ай бұрын

@WoolieBsApiary I sell neither queen's nor nucs because I wait one full year to elect the best queens .Normally, they come from swarm or replacement cells .I also keep them treatment free ,and they are very well adapted with the environment and method I apply ! I feed them honey from theirs ,and I do not feed them sugar unless I have no honey and if they need to ,I just feed them sugar to survive not thrive on it ,thus making them stronger and healthier .The 50 boxes are dispersed in 2M Square land ,simulating their natural habitat .It is a great hobby seeing them develop on their own ,seeing them act naturaaly is also an amazing thing . In short ,In order to have clean and strong bee hives ,I let the weak go and keep the most self-made colonies .Good luck

@WoolieBsApiary 4 ай бұрын

@weirhauch1002 I replace the queens in a weak colony. 2 square miles is not natural Tom Seeley did research and in nature there is less than 2 colonies per square mile. I'm way over that seeing I have 60 to 70 at my home location. It is amazing what bees can do when left alone and not treated that's where you and I select the strongest and requeen the weak with queens from the strong. Tennessee has an average 45 to 53 winter loss rate

@jasonseaward8506 watch the time of day usually between say 3 and 6 pm and it eill only last 1 to 15 minutes. They will fly out do figure 8s infront of the hive and go back in then come back out and do it again. Fighting on the landing board is a great indicator of robbing.

@heavymechanic2 2 ай бұрын

This year was so dry where I live and robbing has been crazy, several deadouts from dwindling colonies. I even had nuc boxes robbed until they were all gone.. Look for bees sniffing around the top, back and other places away from the landing board, all signs of robbing.

@WoolieBsApiary Your ramblings and experience are very good. And its quite beneficial. You are blazing a trail ahead of us, pioneering ahead of us so those coming up behind you don't have to struggle so much, and take losses, and pain. Its painful when you lose colonies. So to me that amazing and why I appreciate it a lot. That's real education instead of the socialist crap in the schools. When you do a new skill or you are trying to go somewhere in life, if you can't see the road and don't have a trail blazer ahead of you, it can get painful and get lost. Or at the very least lose a lot of time and resources with no guide.

I'd heard the idea that some people think that certain kinds of oils can help them get rid of parasites. I don't know if it actually works. But they used to say it did on some channels. Has peoples thinking changed on that? I do get that you need to feed between flows. Especially with modern agriculture things changed where the farmers used to have variety and more than type of blooming plants in the fields. They used to have them along the sides of the fields and borders for the extra stuff. And this would have created extra filler flows between the big flows. But commercial agriculture changed that where they will try to fill in all space with the same thing, and they don't have these extra hobby plants or whatever along the sides anymore... which means ... the period between flows can be rougher than it used to be. Thanks for all your videos and the nice things you do to help beekeepers.

@WoolieBsApiary 6 ай бұрын

@noahriding5780 thank you for watching. I'm a firm believer in my formula of essential oils mixture. In the state u live in the average winter loss is 45 to 53 % of reported deaths of colonies. I'm running a mite treatment free operation and Mt winter losses are between 6 and 15% and usually half of those losses are my fault. Ie I'll sell some queens in Sept the replacement queen gets mated trues to lay the box up but fails and I count that in my winter losses because I do not combine.
