Didn't realize all that was involved yet in extracting the honey from the plates - thanks for taking the time to show that! I think we met you one time when purchasing honey from a farmers market in Saginaw. Loved the taste of the honey!

Yes it is for us in North Texas. We are currently splitting our hives and making nucs

You should be able to show the entire process. Many people are not aware how much work takes to remove a colony of hard working honey bee. Sometimes missing the queen is a frustrating thing no? Unfortunately some people prefer to kill the bee just because it’s cheaper. To kill them takes 5 minutes to rescuing them takes up to 4 hours for the whole process.

Hello Jason, I live in central Saskatchewan, Canada, where the winter climate is between -11C to -39C. I would caution beekeepers in colder climates than Ohio, that the addition of a pollen supplement in these very cold climates would possibly allow the bees to break cluster to relive themselves with catastrophic results. I store my bees in to a barn enclosure that is regulated at -4C (42F) and feed winter fondant without any pollen supplement and the bees remain in cluster over the winter until spring which can last from 4 to 5 months. A typical season begins in May and may last until September/October. I am subscribed and follow your channel given your beekeeping experience. Regards.

Microwave also works if you want slightly less effort

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 Жыл бұрын

Yes it does. It's important to be cautious as microwaves may not heat food evenly, leading to potentially burning the honey.

Just made this.. I did a practice run with water. 2 gallons of water in my 5 gallon bucket and my 2 gallons of water leaked out in 5 minutes. It's leaking from the lid. I've tried two different lids and it still will not work for me. Disappointing!! But love your videos.

Does the lid have a rubber gasket? Also it will leak for a few minutes before drawing enough suction to stop it

It’s best to keep it 100 yards away if possible. I would not want it to close as that could cause a robbing frenzy.

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 3 жыл бұрын

The foam alone will not keep them inside. They end up chewing through it to get out. You can use steel wool or number 8 hardware cloth to initially close up the hole, then foam over it.

Thanks for this review. Is it deep enough to accept a deep frame with a swarm cell hanging from the bottom? Sometimes I need 3/4" additional to avoid smashing the tip of queen cells when I am using a nuc in such a manner.

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 3 жыл бұрын

I do not think it is deep enough to accommodate a swarm cell on or near the bottom of the frame.

@mmn-rp8pn 3 жыл бұрын

Would this be the best bet for times when I wouldn't be around for an extended period of time to feed the bees? Like in the spring when the hive is starting, or summer since there is no fresh water supply nearby?

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 2 жыл бұрын

I use this as a stop gap. During our summer derth when the bees are most prone to rob. We will set up several of these with a little honeybee healthy added to attracted the bees. Then we feed our bees in the hive with the pro frame feeders.

I am going into winter with a double deep and a deep with a medium super. Since both queens have been laying in both upper and lower levels I am just going to let them have all of that. Would that be 1tsp for the double and 3/4 tsp for the deep+medium?

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 4 жыл бұрын

Yes The recommended does is 1 gram (1/2tsp) per deep box of bees. So a double deep would be 2 grams (1 tsp) and the deep plus medium would be 3/4 tsp.

Yellow jacket! I'm also in the area east of Dallas and this is the first year that I've had trouble with them, I had two in my yard and yes they can be aggressive. My brother in the fort Worth area was sent to the emergency room a few weeks ago because he mowed over one. Mine were particularly aggressive because I accidentally set a trash bag on top of them while I was taking out trash and heard a leak at my garden hose bib I decided to try to stop. They attacked that bag for the entire day and I got stung 3 times getting away from them. I got stung again while removing them. They're super easy to get rid of, just poor little gasoline down the hole but don't light it, most people do but it's pointless.

What type of honey bees were they? Given their aggressive attitude. Russian hybrids?

@jasonsmithjcshoneybees5959 4 жыл бұрын

B. Jenkins my guess would be Africanized. Every county in the state of Texas has had positive genetic confirmation of them. So their stance is, if you encounter an overly aggressive colony assume it’s Africanized. What we did is split that hive in half, kill their queen and we will requeen with known genetics tomorrow.

Dear Sir , greetings I have a question , my bees colony is queenless. the problem is that now workers bees start laying multiple eggs in the cells. Kindly suggest me what i should to do in order to make requeen?? Fresh brood i already had given them. But instead of making new queen they have started laying multiple eggs on the same cells of newly placed brood. Kindly suggest me in written here in this bloag. Thanks .

@Smithers256 4 жыл бұрын

What I find best for me is to introduce a new frame of brood and leave them with that for roughly about a day, then you should be ok to put a new queen in there. That should suppress the laying worker's need to lay eggs and increase the likelihood of the colony to accept the queen
