About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. Our dream is that someday, we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Beekeeper here....The lid you had on your bees is an inner cover not a top cover so with all of the rain , the hole in the inner cover allowed the rain to get in which is why you thought they were gone. The brood is most likely lost. . That's a big set back this time of year for such a small colony. Also the other colony you showed is very small. If they have any chance to make it through the winter , you'll need to feed asap. If their frames aren't drawn out, you might be better off combining them because they most likely won't draw out frames this time of year. They definitely won't without feeding. Another tip is I have never lost a swarm if I feed them as soon as I place them in their new home. So I always recommend feeding a new colony. We only have a few more weeks to prepare oyur bees for winter. Frames need to be drawn out and filled with honey, mite treatments need to be done and they need to be winterized next month.Right now they need to be making those fat bodied winter bees but if your Queen doesn't have anywhere to lay, she can't do that.

It certainly sounds like you know what you're talking about. I hope Morgan pays attention. I applaud him for trying new things, but a quick few minutes of fact-finding can help a lot. Especially if you have experts commenting on your own videos! There's another channel, Project Kamp, who makes big mistakes, asks for help in the comments, and then either doesn't read the comments, or simply thinks they're lying. It doesn't make any sense. I wish I had the community of support that most creators on here have.

Hey Morgan! After the bees have started their hibernation and while the wild grass/flowers are still intact it would benefit the area to allow the goats in to do a clear before winter. They will deposit fertilizer and seeds that will bloom the following spring!! Goats are great for yard management!!

He lost his set, he lost the spare, my daughter refused to borrow hers AGAIN, since I was out and he was going to be home from school and me not there for twenty minutes, I left a note in our language but wrote it in English since he cannot read our language. I wrote *chaabee* (keys) under mat, when we arrived and were parking we saw him do a wierd dance for 2 whole minutes, my daughter and I looked at each other and saying what the heck is he doing, so I starting walking up the stairs whilst shouting at him, finally got his attention, I said what????? He goes, I read *bees* he was like pretty mortified and looked like he was actually stung by a few(imaginary bees) 😂😂😂😂

I gotta say this swarm looked pretty good for such a late swarm. Usually a late swarm is a sorry bunch that won't make the winter even if you feed them heavily. They just freeze to death because they are too small to stay warm. Also, late swarms usually happen because of Varroa mite pressure, not reproduction. So these are not normal, healthy swarms (you get these from may to july). Since you regularly have late swarms, do you treat against Varroa mite at all, and how? You might be able to save yourself some of that hassle.

Seems like the goats might be great on pasture boarders and hard jobs like clearing the duck/goose house and gardens after growing season to get ready for winter. Could also "borrow them" out to neighbors for similar tasks. Goats "should" be a bit more confinable than the pigs.

Helpful bee tips! 1. Use some rubber bands to better attach the comb to the hives, it will help keep the bees from making one giant messy hive and instead have them placed on frames nicely. The bees will chew off and take the rubber bands out of the hive after some time, it should be long enough to have the comb attached to the frame. 2. Use a soft bristle brush to brush off the bees from the spot you are trying to remove them from. It is gentle enough to keep them from getting hurt and is much better at getting them off of things like a pallet or fence.

@andrewlee4722
@andrewlee4722 Ай бұрын
Hey, I know this is some unsolicited advice but you need to get back into that hive and reattach that comb correctly. You have the top oriented down now. Honey comb has a top and bottom orientation. The top that was hanging from that piece of wood needs to be facing upwards. You can use rubberhands to supprt the comb until the bees attach it. This is a common mustake that is made by new beekeepers. Get some rubber bands and attach it to the corners of the frame and use it like a basket. The top of the comb has to face the top. If you look at honey comb front the front, facing it, the comb is angled down slightly. This angle helps to keep in nectar. Just wanted to let you know so you can go back and take corrective action.

You may have relocated the queen, but workers were returning to where they knew their hive to be-hanging from that board. The queen’s pheromones were still on the board, so they clustered there. Best thing to do after is to gently scoop and relocate those bees to the bee box, and keep doing it for a few days. Best!

I know form experience that goats loves jumping up and down on things, Lamb and sheep are the same way, It's from the time when they free roamed and still free roam in rural areas. And also morgan, i think you probably could introduce the goats with the chickens and have them roam the plot, just make sure they know where they suppose to stay or fence in the areas that you don't want them, you could use those fences with electricity to do that and eventually they will learn.
