Beekeeping - First Hive Inspection After A Cold Texas Winter (first inspection of 2018)

[@arum236]

First hive inspected - note: feed pollen ASAP and if you are lucky they might survive but may not thrive. That is a weak colony with only 2 frames coverage. Too soon for extra box. Think about grabbing one honey frame from another strong hive and adding it into the weak. They will need it Good luck!

Great job videoing and explaining what you two did. Thanks Blake and blessings to you and your family, Jim

So amazing to see your bees know how to do their God given job on earth. Wow!

[@Sqeptick]

Hives looked good. Got me stoked for better bee weather here in the next couple months.

Thanks for the video! Glad your hives have made it through the winter!

Great work Blake, glad to see the hives doing well. Here in the uk it's cold last night minus 5 Celsius

[@evephillips6701]

It's good your bees are doing well!👍😊

Moving the third box down is exactly what I would do Get that Queen to work back up the hive.

I noticed heavy bee activity on mistletoe here in AZ last weekend too. Good stuff Blake. Cheers! Chris.

We found awesome looking brood on 4 frames in our "nice hive" this week but the camera wasn't recording . We only got some clips of the bees activity in front of the hive. (uploading today) But we got a log full of bees last night from someone who called us to have it removed. We moved them into a deep hive box today. Video? .. Filled a 4GB memory card TWICE! It will take me a couple days to edit . How many colonies do you have in all Blake?

I think the Golden Son Beekeeper is itching to get back into beekeeping! ;)

[@wadebarnes6720]

What kind of bees do you use and where did you get them from

[@goodoleboy11668]

what strain of bees are they? All 3 hives seem to be loud and hot.

[@AdevăruriIstoriceAscunse]

Very interesting! 😊

[@hectorbarrios8178]

Can you please start pulling frames from the size?

[@OklahomaBeekeeper]

May I ask what part of Texas are you in and do you worry about the Africanized Bees taking over your hives?

[@allanbonnieguffey5634]

what kind of bees do you have

[@FunWithDom]

Wooo notification squad

[@chrisbgarrett]

Quit pulling center frames out first. At 12min,that roar meant the queen was on the frame you took out,or was in top super. That 4 box high overwinter hive wasn't a good idea. I bet you were worried about wax moth so thought leaving them on the hive was a good idea. It isn't. Numbers go down and too much room to warm. Need to squish that hive back to a deep and medium. Beekeeping is like sex,you can have fun at it without being any good. Keep working on it.

I'm glad your bees are doing good, but I can't stand the sound. My Dad use to raise honey bees and just hearing them makes me itch.:)

[@johnwatson3913]

When you put that in your smoker you are blowing poisonous gasses on your bees.
