How and Where are these different hives? Like, how much space dp you need to create different types of honey? Is this all happening on your property? Or did you plant some flowers in a random field and set up some hives there???

@@christinegrimmond7164 The hives are all in 1 location in the mountains of WNC. Different honey varieties are from native plants and trees that bloom at different times of the year. Every beekeeper becomes a botanist!

I use the paint strainer method differently. I put wax in pot then add water Heat on low heat and stir occasionally with free wood chop stick till completely melted No rock needed In a plastic pain bucket I add my paint strainer Even through it holds good without clamping it I will use chip clips to hold strainer bag in place if I feel I have to many bugs in the melted comb The hot wax and water mix I pour into the bucket and let sit till cool

Instead of taking a car to the scrap yard. If it has any value at all, donate it to Wounded Warriors. Two years ago I did that with my 1994 Camry LX with 159,000 miles on it. I had bought a used Prius and didn't need two cars. Wounded Warriors were thrilled to have the car and sold the it at auction and got $948 for it. They forwarded a receipt to me in the amount of $948 for me to use to claim on my taxes. WW for $948 cash, I got a receipt for $948 to use for a tax deduction when filing my taxes, PLUS I got the satisfaction to knowing I had helped WW.

This will work great for alot of wax. I crumple aluminum foil, spread it back out and line a paint tray, 100% plus weather here in Texas and makes a little bar as it labyrinths down the foil to be collected after dark when it solidifies in the well of the paint tray. No big quantities like what you did but I only have 4 hives.

Your fan probably needed cleaning. It was probably causing the battery overheating. I fix these easy for $900 battery replacement with a one year warranty.

We have wild turkeys in our neighborhood, our neighbors and we feed them, but they run from us if we get too close. We have named a few of them. There is one named Matilda who hurt her leg/foot a few months back. We were worried about something in the wild taking advantage of her damaged leg making her slower, but thankfully she has survived months now, and is getting stronger with each passing day. Have you befriended a wild turkwy? If so, how did you get it to come to you? I would LOVE to be able to have them trust me and my family so we could pet them. Thanks and thank you for saving the turkey's you have and for educating others about them. They really are sweet, innocent beings. Except when they are fighting. Lol We joke about it being Kungfu fighting. Haha. I have taken my hose and shoo'd them away when they fight each other. It gets me upset.

Hi, so I stay at this one hotel for work fairly often and there's been a pack of wild turkeys here. They've been here 5, maybe even 10 years. We have never seen babies, just Toms. They are fairly habituated to humans, however, because they see people often and most people are hesitant around them or just want to take photo/video. These turkeys are basically urban and there is no hunting or gunfire around, so turkeys have not had to teach each other to beware humans. So hopefully there is no turkey hunting in your area or you might be SOL and it would be in the turkeys' best interest not to be too trusting of humans. Nobody hurts these turkeys and they see like 50 people a day. Birds need to be approached in a non-threatening way so avoid all predator body language - which is often innocuous to us. Approach in a wide arc, slowly and steadily with your body turned 45° away from them at an angle, head looking down and to the side, no smiling with teeth, show the food in your hand out to the side. I always approach like this until they recognize me, which they indicate by running towards me lol

We have one turkey that we think is an eastern, it’s got velociraptor feet… it’s actually crazy the tree trunks he’s got. Stood sentry to some predator, lost his wing tip down to his drumstick. Still chill as ever. Cool animals. The ducks are their shadows, they always stick together. Them, and a single chicken who were all raised together. They’re what’s left after an attack. Holding strong. Losing a pet is hard. I was estatic it survived

1 hive gives about 20-25 liters. Here in the Netherlands you can sell that at €10-€12 a liter. So you make €250-€300 per hive per year. But this is only the honey!

Had this issue with a tractor at work, took a few tries. Would recommend if you have a mobile compressor and are out in the field (or far away from a shop with an air compressor), A small generator and a small compressor tank (6gal is what I'm using) works.

Great videos - and thanks for making them. I'm up north in eastern PA and just ordered the first hive and picking up some gear ahead of starting next year. The one question I have is whether or not you isolate yourself with an LLC being you're selling to the public? I know rules may be different between different states but that never stops that one customer that wants to sue for whatever reason. I've not seen this topic covered yet in the areas I research or maybe I just missed it.

Thank you. I do want to say, if harvesting and planting on your own, i believe rinsing the seeds is not the right move. Leave the fruit and pulp with the seed. That was mama natures natural intention...and I have about 50 natural trees that all planted themselves, I did nothing but harvest fruit. In order to sell them, yes they will need to be rinsed so they dont mold or rot in the baggie....but I do think the fruit is intended to feed that seed the nutrients it need to start life. Isnt that the design?

How many hives do you think it would take to make at least $65000/year?
@WhistleThicket2 ай бұрын
A lot! Also 1 hive plus Bess plan on about 500 bucks investment. Now if u have strong hives I. The spring you can split them. You also won’t always get honey from every hive every year. Depends on your area too- how many times can you harvest a year and how much nearby nectar is available? 1 healthy hive that produces honey plus the wax I use to make a few things I would say is about 250-400 profit a year.

@benjaminwalker62472 ай бұрын
If you create artificial swarms, you double your bees, ( you can recombine them later) mitigate mites with the brood break, increase honey production ( the cell builder/original colony, doesn't have any brood to feed for a few weeks while they are creating the new queen and the old queens brood is hatched out). I've been doing this for YEARS and never had to use a chemical in my colonies, have had nearly 100% over winter survival. If you artificial swarm again in mid June, you get queens that will emerge and mate after the summer solstice and that queen will lay heavily right up into fall and that is a significant boost to your bees making it through winter. A bigger cluster is more efficient and will consume less stores than a small cluster.

Thanks for the video! This was very interesting. I have a neighbor who has several elderberry bushes growing in her horse pasture, like you do! They were there prior to her moving in and those bushes are over 8 feet tall and located all throughout her horse pasture. The horses don't seem to bother them at all. The bushes produce very abundantly. Seems like the horse pasture is the perfect place for them! I have a single bush in my yard which I planted 2 years ago and this summer I made over 12 pints of elderberry syrup from that bush alone. Elderberry is a wonderful plant-- so easy and so productive.
