DEMAREE MONSTERS even after a bear attack!

[@davidsoloninka7742]

Plz continue with this “demaree series” especially how u continue to down size as the season progress’s. I am a 3rd year beekeeper and followed your instructions regarding the Demaree method on seven of my hives. None of the seven swarmed and i am getting a wonder honey harvest… 21 gallons of honey from 3 hives thus far… Thank you both u r wonderful teachers and “explainers”! Dave from Wheeling WV and SE Ohio near the Ohio River.

Oh boy, full depths up a stack.🥵 Interesting side note, the first guy up Mt Everest, Sir Ed Hillary, was the son of a beekeeper who used full depths for everything and thats how he was so fit for the attempt on Mt Everest 😂 speaking of interesting obstacles, Bears😵‍💫 electrified apairys⚡ 😮 Im so glad i live in New Zealand 😂 so very very glad. I couldn't imagine anything more gut punching than some freaking animal ripping a hive to bits. We don't have bears, snakes, scorpions, predatory big cats, wolves, coyotes or any of the other ghastly horrors you guys have too worry about 😄 our worst headaches in central Otago southern New Zealand are AFB, Varroa and wet weather in summer for the thyme nectar flow. Nice first honey pull though and your bees look great🐝👍 thanks for uploading

After shaking the bee’s some remain on the frames that u r loading and taking to the garage. How do u deal with those residual bee’s on the honey frames prior to de-capping? Thx

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

The will go to the garage door window and they get released in the evening.

Great to have extra hands with a tall Demaree and lots of deeps

[@gallowaylights]

00:09:52 definitely a team effort 😂

[@thefishheadchronicles7763]

Is there ever a concern with using older brood frames for honey when they were most likely treated for mites the previous fall? How long does it take for the chemicals to dissipate?

[@peterbrask327]

OA is about 6 weeks then the oa level is back to normal.

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

We use treatments that leave no long lasting residual deposits on frames....no synthetic treatments or antibiotics.

Jolly good!

[@bligon11]

The bear is likely to come back !!!!

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

There is now an electric fence round the hives.
