10:17 How do you feed the bees in these 3 days of "waiting undisturbed"?
@HiddenSpringApiaries 10 сағат бұрын
We don't. They bring plenty with them when they swarm

When she stung you, because she removed her stinger, did that not hurt at all? Or a little? That was interesting to watch

Great video! What's the weight of the trap before and after?
@HiddenSpringApiaries 17 күн бұрын
Good question, I'm not sure. My guess is the swarm weighed 10lb or so

Trying to trap for the first time. Set out two traps in mid-March. Today (April 15th) I saw 5-6 bees checking out the trap, going inside and moving about the box. Hope they are the “scouts!” Great vid. Thanks guys!

Most swarms scout 2 days and move on the 3rd - maybe soon!

How do you prevent or control cross-comb with no foundation? BTW, great video !
@HiddenSpringApiaries 3 ай бұрын
As long as they have one comb to copy off of, they almost always build perfect comb. Other than that, keeping the hive level.
@nickford5549 3 ай бұрын
These northern breeder need to stop lying with the nucs. An over wintered nuc has a late season queen making her in her prime come spring. Splitting your winter hives does not make a winter nuc!
@HiddenSpringApiaries 3 ай бұрын
Most of them make the origin of the bees clear in their advertisements. So long as you're truthful about what you're selling, sell whatever kind of nuc you want
@markw9281 3 ай бұрын
leaving them in for three days is something I never thought of, but it makes perfect sense. That will be my new procedure from now on. Thanks for posting this; very helpful !
@HiddenSpringApiaries 3 ай бұрын
Works great for most. Depending on weather we'll do 1 or 2 days sometimes, rain keeps them in too. The very large swarms (6+ frames of bees) need to be opened immediately or they'll suffocate themselves

Is it ok to split in the winter if you have few warm days?

No, that would not work

@@HiddenSpringApiaries even in warm days cause we had alot of them this winter where I live Cause I hear that bees don't work in winter but I also hear other people saying that if you feed them enough they keep working and even lay eggs So I'm kinda confused
@HiddenSpringApiaries 4 ай бұрын
@cheriefsohaieb1123 it won't work because there will be no drones to mate with the queens in the splits you make. Also they don't want to grow and expand in winter so if you split them they are just going to dwindle and die
