Hi, me again 😀 in our area when do you put the supers on usually?
@JoneyJefe19 күн бұрын
@@g8rgrl13 depends. A hive that’s ready, maybe anywhere from mid March to mid April. These hives are new, so it takes them longer to build up the population that will fill up 2 deep boxes and a super. That’s why there are two here that don’t have supers. They just aren’t ready. In fact one had a super and I took it off because the bees weren’t going in it. It’s just too much empty space. Other variables include how many of your frames have comb? How many are plain foundation? It takes time for them to build up the comb from scratch. That’s why we save our frames with comb from other (abandoned) hives and supers with our lives. Many of the frames in these hives were foundation so they didn’t build up as fast as the others. But if you have a roaring hive in early March or April and they’re bringing in lots of pollen, I’d have no issues putting on a super early April. I believe Tracy likes to have his up and primed by May. So to me, that means you’ve got the population up, fed them well, and the first supers on by late April. I usually aim to harvest twice. After July 4th. Put the boxes back on asap. Then harvest again in September or October. I don’t leave too many supers on over winter.

@@g8rgrl13no real need. Plus extra equipment to carry around. The deep super on top that had brood was a surprise. I put it on top thinking it would end up being another honey super since it was backfilled some with nectar in the original hive that swarmed. Plus, I put them on top of the honey super that was essentially fully capped 7/10 frames. This frames were mostly foundation, so I didn’t expect to get much more honey since they had to make a lot of comb. I don’t mind if I get brood in my honey supers. I just leave the frames if they do. No big deal. But it rarely happens.

@JoneyJefe4 ай бұрын
For this location? It’s too far away from home. One hour or so. Two hours from my largest apiaries. I always wanted to keep these apiaries small. Swarm genetics also equals swarm genetics.
@Swarmstead4 ай бұрын
@@JoneyJefe ok then I'm confused. It sounded like you said you only had 5. And that you wanted to expand to 15 but "it won't be happening". What do you mean by "swarm genetics"? What is wrong with the genetics of swarms? All bees will swarm.
@JoneyJefe4 ай бұрын
I did. I wanted to expand it further. I’m rethinking all of that here. I wanted about 15 (between the three apiaries I have here in this area). But it looks like I’ll close it down to two spots and abandon this specific spot. But it’s all unsure atm. It takes a lot of time away from my larger apiaries that are at the opposite side of my home in the northern part of the state. I’m a one man operation so the time on the road equates to vital time away from my main ones. Correct. All bees swarm. Some swarm more than others. If you like ones that tend to swarm more, then I support that. I’ve got several hives from swarm traps, cutouts, and such. I personally prefer to spend my time in the hives doing splits and such than chasing or catching swarms. But if I catch any this year, I’ll probably bring them out here in the middle of the woods. One of the challenges, the one I brushed off from beekeepers in this area, is that this part of the state the woods are mostly pine trees. Bees get most of their resources from trees and only a small part from the flowers we think of on the ground. If your woods have a large variety of trees, it’s better. But timber companies aren’t planting Red Maples, Locus, Catalpas, etc. They just plant Pines. And the bees get nothing from them. More experienced beekeepers in this area tell me they have challenges with their hives here because of this fact. I thought, “nah…..”. But I’ve been out here several years and I see what they’re talking about.

You’re in the OEB business and I’ll concede that you have more expertise on them than me, since I only own one (the one in question). I am aware things can be faked/incorrect/etc. I have papers (somewhere). He fits the physical descriptions (height/weight/age) and temperaments. He’s almost 13. When standing next to other English bulldogs at the vet and other places, there is a distinct difference in their appearance and size. The vet acknowledges him as an OEB. However, I’m not as familiar with some of the terms you’ve thrown out and atm, I’m too busy to look them up. Offhand they remind me of genetic lineage I’ve studied when it comes to various things such as peppers, honeybees, viruses. Most importantly is that HE believes he’s an OEB and that he remains a wonderful dog and a fierce protector of my children. ❤
