I don't understand the reason for an outside entrance hole to the board. It looks like an invite for robbers.

The whole on the candy board will allow rubbers into that hole or do you screen over that hole to keep rubbers from getting into your candy board from other hives
@morganranchАй бұрын
The hole is left open during cold weather. It allows an upper entrance in the event the lower entrance gets blocked from weather, or dead bees. I go out and I screen over the hole before the warmer weather brings robbers.

Hi there. Thank you for this video. How long can one candy board last a hive in the winter?
@morganranch3 ай бұрын
That depends on if and when the bees need it. I have some hives that have enough stores where they don't touch the board all winter long. Other colonies deplete their stores and dig into the Candy board sooner and they can deplete it before winter is over. I go around checking hives on the nicer days during winter and when I see there is a lot of it eaten, I have hardened blcks of candy/sugar that I toss into the voids. I have had hives that were able to sustain themselves through the winter on candy blocks until spring.

Hey Jason! I have this same mower and my engine worked all four bolts/nuts loose and the engine nearly fell off. Be advised, I think mine is probably a tad older than yours (2006 model). I could not figure out how to get that back belt off to get to the bolts/nuts through the pulleys. This has been a great help. Thank you!

I have honey on each outer frame on two deeps totaling 4 frames can i take this honey? Its march17 in Southern Illinois I'm hoping to prevent a swarm by giving them more room as well as getting a couple frames for my swarm traps. Not sure if i should be taking there stores. They are bringing in pollen very well and making brood.

What gauge of wire is that? Can the bees get through it?
@sethb954510 ай бұрын
Only way to keep bees from drawing in liquid feeding is to put fine screen on top of liquid. And as the liquid goes down so does wire. Because its floating. You make sure wire is a tad smaller and your liquid holder. I like putting Hive Alive in my water while making any kind of extra food source.

Greetings from north-east Poland. Wish i knew about this brilliant idea earlier. I've lost 3of7 bee families this winter... They had 21kg of food per family (normally we give 10-15) and still 3 hives died of starvation 😕 Crazy weather... Next winter all my hives will surely get that extra layer for bee candy. I've subscribed to your channel ofc. Guess it is time to learn how other nations keep the bees. Never tired of this subject.

@morganranch Жыл бұрын
They'll build it very quickly... in a matter of days to a week. A fresh cast swarm is carrying a lot of honey from where they left and so they are ready to build comb with that honey in the new home right away!

That debree from bottom can be cause of disease in you're and appiaries around yours! From sanitary aspect that is disaster that you did.instead you shoud collect the bottom board content in a bag , burn that and use torch lamp or other technique for disinfection.

How can you tell what the weight of your hive is?
@morganranch Жыл бұрын
That's always been a challenge. For most of us, we don't have the fancy scales that can pick up hives. Over the years, I have been lifting the back of the hive and tipping it forward just to feel the weight. Over time, you get better at knowing if there is honey in the hive or not. I have even gone as far as stooping down (bending at the knees) and grabbing the handles on the bottom box and try lifting the entire hive. DON'T exert too much energy and through your back out.... but if there's little to no honey, I can actually lift it. I only say this to try and illustrate the difference between a few boxes with no honey in them vs boxes with honey in them. It doesn't take a lot of honey to make it so you can't lift it... so again, don't throw your back out. When you are in your apiary, just make it a habit to tip your hives forward and feel their weight. It's much easier just tipping vs lifting. I have almost tipped an empty (low honey) hive right off the front of the stand, so be careful there too. Again, this is just a basic measure to understand if your hive needs more feed. Hope it helps.

I always start with tying a back leg and front leg of same side to a tree. (keeps em spread open without fumbling) 1st cut around the anus, tie it closed, then cut the neck, find esophagus and tie it closed, then cut it. Open belly cavity to ribs, use same field knife to wedge chest open (saw is unnecessary) cut strings from legs to tree, roll deer over and everything falls out all contained. No poop, no stomach acid, no fuss.
