Bee Keeping on a Rainy Day. Can we get into the hives or should we leave the bees alone?

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Always nice to visit my favorite beekeeping channel!! Hope you get some sunny, dry days soon! Take care, BEE happy! 🐝🐝🐝

[@BugFarmerBees]

Whew..... I was really getting worried about you. I am happy you're back and can't wait for your new videos.

[@PapaBee165]

I love that you’re all in with your hand talking and gyrations. Your excitement and love for your flying ladies is contagious.

[@BugFarmerBees]

I have tried keeping them at my side before but they seem to fight back and wrestle themselves into the foreground :-)

[@amysinterests2608]

You have a beautiful yard and house and it's right off the water, gorgeous and all those hives! Love your videos ❤🐝

[@BugFarmerBees]

Thanks a bunch.

[@kevinogden4363]

It's been dry here, 115 heat index yesterday. Was glad to see the notification for your video, your videos and the others give me a break from the nonsense that is the world today. Appreciate ya.

[@BugFarmerBees]

Thanks Kevin. Much appreciated.

😎🐝☀️ I opened a box on a cloudy day and got chased across the yard! 😂 Have a great weekend!

[@BugFarmerBees]

Yep.... That'll do it :-)

[@Backyardfuzzybee]

I think this video was awsome’ you can always talk about how you treat your hives, and your philosophy on feeding, and so on and on . Just an idea . But I think you should do more like this video. You’re the best.

[@BugFarmerBees]

Thank you so much. I think I will.

[@karenpruitt6833]

Mr. Big Farmer, I saw your honey label on Jeff Horchoff's honey house wall. 😊

[@BugFarmerBees]

It was there alright. Have you ever seen the video when I went there to harvest? Here it is in case you missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnPPppqghbZ9g7Mfeature=shared

[@apveening]

Wishing you better weather for the next video.

[@BugFarmerBees]

I got a break in the clouds and inspected yesterday. I have to say it was a ...... clumsy attempt at beekeeping. I haven't been in the hives in so long I lost my touch :-)

[@lelandchandler3602]

Thanks for the video. If you are seeking an idea for a staying in the loop session, you can share good memories of your childhood or maybe talk about the things that led to you becoming Mr. Big Farmer. Like… what chain of events occurred that sparked your interest in bees, and what happened to encourage you to make the first step to becoming Mr. Bug Farmer.

[@BugFarmerBees]

All great ideas. Unfortunately my childhood was depressing and sad. As for the bees, well, I blame Jim and Vino Farm and Frederick Dunn. It's their fault.

[@5280Beekeeping]

Wish it would rain here, 93° and dry beef just don’t wanna seem to build up this year so it’s good to see your videos Real beekeeping

[@BugFarmerBees]

I'll put it in buckets and get it in the mail :-)

[@Ambees_Honey]

watching your videos, i purchased a little spray bottle to try instead of smoking the girls, im excited to try it!

[@BugFarmerBees]

I will calm them in a second when working the frames. Just make sure not to add any scent, oills, or flavoring to the thin syrup. You don't want to kick off a robbing situation.

[@robertlewis3336]

I know you are in Georgia now but I'm trying to place that accent. I'm guessing Michigan? Really enjoying your videos. Entertaining

[@BugFarmerBees]

Ohio :-)

[@CentralKyBees]

You made a better decision on your video than the one I just uploaded😂, I got into mine to feed. Absolutely the worst time to do it but it needed to be done.

[@BugFarmerBees]

I saw. :-)

[@rogue9346]

was that the first time you lost a colony in a bee barn?

[@BugFarmerBees]

Yes. That was the first loss/abscond.

[@mjp5318]

Man with the weather heading your way , hope you catch 1 day , because its coming !

[@BugFarmerBees]

It has just been a rainy mess all of July.

[@ME_MeAndMyBees]

It's pouring with Rain (Again !) here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our Summer never came, arrived or started ! Darn. 😵‍💫 The Hives are fine but any Spring Honey has gone on 'feeding the Girls.' So Bees are plenty, but near empty Supers. Oh Dear. Summer / Autumn might improve now its August. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2024 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Started the Season with x6 Hives. Now up to x18 ! Wow. 🤭

[@BugFarmerBees]

A rainy spring is a sure fire way to slow the flow. i hope you get some dry days and the girls can fill the boxes.

[@hollybrannon6000]

Looking at a possible hurricane this weekend and I'm planning on rolling wax on foundation and fixing frames fix some boxes not buying a damn thing until later when I know my numbers

[@BugFarmerBees]

I think I will start building my own boxes to save $$. Everything is so expensive these days.

[@robertlewis3336]

Ooh Rah! Marine Corps

[@BugFarmerBees]

The Marines hive has been a great hive

[@BlanchardsBees]

Dang beavers! I bought a peach tree this year and it had one peach on it. I was waiting for it to be just right before picking but the night before I was going to pick it a critter got it. Talk about bummed. Send some of that rain my way friend

[@BugFarmerBees]

Beavers.... what can do? Can't live with them and can't live without them.

[@BlanchardsBees]

@@BugFarmerBees could always make a nice hat

[@Whitesmokehoney]
