[@mi.sheila7456]

Sorry for your sad loss, great that you can help that young man in tribute to your uncle.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Thanks Sheila. Hope to get them to him soon. Take care.

[@aaronclauser5322]

My condolences for your loss. Should be a nice tribute to him to help a young beekeeper!

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Thanks Aaron. I hope to get in touch with him this weekend and maybe get it up there to him. Thanks for watching.

Hi Darren. Sorry for your loss. It is a great gesture ti help out Michael. i'm sure he appreciates it.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hi Emil. Yeah, I should be getting with Michael pretty quick. Thanks for watching.

[@Vermicompost]

What a great tribute to your uncle and a great donation to an up and coming bee keeper! That was cool how they came to great the queen versus attacking. That Apimaye hive is a really convenient hive for combining if you find one side queenless. I spent far too much time in Altus, OK training throughout my AF career! Another Excellent video Jerome!!🪱🪱🪱

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hey Patrick. Yeah, I wish my uncle would have been here to see it. He was a giving man for sure. Hopefully I can get it to him soon. Yeah, that's a queen testing trick, I'm surprised I thought of it. lol I've seen them pounce on a queen, when they do that you need to get her out quick, because they will kill her fast. Altus, that's like the hottest place on earth! LOL That's cool, I work with a bunch of retired AF, and also a lot of AF officers. I'd be interested to hear about what you did in AF some time. Have an awesome weekend!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You and the family are in my prayers and have my sincere condolences. It's so good of you to help get that young man set up with his own bees - something he will never forget. Best of luck to Michael in his beekeeping journey.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hi Highlandhoney. Thanks you so much. I'll be contacting him soon to get them transferred up ther to him. I hope they last. Thanks for watching.

[@dijonwhitmore171]

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is always hard. I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers. Michael getting his own hive is exciting. He is going to have so much fun and you would be able to be a mentor to him and show him the ropes of beekeeping❤

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Thanks you Djon, yeah, he was a really nice and giving man, hard to see him gone. Michael will sure be glad to get it as well, and I'll try to help him out. There's another beekeeper not too far from him as well that can assist I'm sure - another baptist preacher like my uncle. lol Thanks for watching.

[@glennsnaturalhoney4571]

What nice gesture. I'm sure your uncle would be very proud.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Thanks Glenn. Yeah, I wish I'd got it done before he was gone. He would have liked to seen that. Thanks for watching.

[@GEEZBEEZ]

Sorry for your loss. It is nice to give an apimaye hive. He will really enjoy it. You are right on the wind this year. I am grafting some this weekend and hope the wind cooperates when they hatch for mating flights. Still seeing some flow here but definitely slower. Take care.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Thanks Geezbeez. I'm hoping to get it to him this weekend possibly. He has a hive, so I'll just install the frames into what he has. Good luck with that grafting. I'm nursing a few swarm cells here, hopefully they are successful. Thanks for watching.

[@russellkoopman3004]

Those bees always seem to throw us curveballs. LOL That is a nice gesture to honor your uncle and I hope Michael enjoys his new bees.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hey Russell. yeah, the bad side turned out to be a drone layer for sure as they all turned into bullet comb. The queen is laying nicely from the good side, just need some brood and build up some comb in there now. It should be a good hive in a few weeks. I might give him one of the other stronger ones from the swarms to speed things up. Thanks for watching.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I do queenless checks the same way. Thanks Jerome!!!

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hey Rodney. Good to hear from you. Thanks for stopping in.

[@timlewis9873]

I enjoyed this vid. Bruce. Well done.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Bruce.

[@jodygucwa8892]

Hi Jerome. glad to see you got your hive numbers up from the start of the year. Here in Michigan it's been dry. But the bees are growing like crazy. We are going to pull are fisrt honey crop this week. Put the bee exscapes on yesterday. Have a great day.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hi Jody. Thanks, yeah, man it's the turn around of the century. I'd never thought they would bounce back so well. Good luck on your harvest.

[@daverowden-RowdyBeeFarms]

Looks like a great queen. Should be smiles all around until he pays for sugar to get through the dearth.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hey Dave. Yeah, they will need fed now that our flow is slowing down. Thanks for watching.

[@jimhughes6794]

Good luck with the queen for Mike. Should work out fine.

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hi Jim. She's laying good now, and that bad side all developed into drones, so definitely combining was the right call. Just need to get them built up a bit more and some good comb. Thanks for watching.
