Love your teachings, the world needs you !

[@KsylaksRysuje]

hi. I'm from Poland, I don't dream about having bees, living in city, but these videos are amazing and I love to learn things like this. Great job you're doing, educating people around the world. Cheers!

[@pwnasty]

This video is awesome. Thank you for explaining how to do this.

[@thisissoeasy]

Brilliant video! - I have so much confidence in you that I don't have to ask any stupid questions.... It's all there... - Soon, I will be the biggest beekeeper in the Southern hemisphere.... Cheers from Outback Australia, Rolf ''

Wow. Wow. I've read the comments. Everyone is trying to make this difficult! FOLKS! Try to understand what he is telling you! 1. Its for the bees, not for human consumption. They handle sugar differently than humans. Some sugars we eat will kill bees. This is when you introduce a Queen (hopefully a rare event) its not a normal food for the bees. For the most part its the worker bees that will eat the bee candy, not the Queen, though she has access to it and could eat it without a problem. I don't know but I suspect a worker bee eats until she is full, then another worker bee takes over. Repeat until job done. 2. Its to create a timed release. If you change ingredients, you will get a shorter or longer timed release. Possibly too short, acclimation and acceptance incomplete = dead queen. Possibly too long, delay in getting in to the hive and starting to lay. Possibly way way too long = dead queen. 3. Its to keep the queen in and SAFE. When transporting the queen, heat can cause OTHER ingredients in bee candy to melt and trap the queen. Even cover and kill her. Or release her while in transport. Remedy, do it as he said, with the ingredients he said, and add the wax paper at the screen side if she is going in the mail. 4. The bee candy ingredients he uses are time tested to allow the bees to release the queen in 2-3 days. It handles transport well and won't make the bees sick. RECIPE: Powdered sugar Karo syrup (clear corn syrup) Don't mess with success!

Can you use honey instead of corn syrup?

[@shebasteelman4468]

Thank goodness for your knowledge

[@fineshooter]

I try to pass what little knowledge I know

[@craig6903]

could honey be used instead of corn syrup? hate corn syrup it bad for my health, im sure its not good for bees

[@fineshooter]

if your gonna use for your own use yes if you sell queens no

[@VaderSpade]

We used Nulomoline and Drivert sugar, no corn, no corn starch. I'm sure such small doses are fine but we never tried it. As kids we all kneaded our queen candy and put together the cages while watching TV as a family. Great memories.

[@WINCHANDLE]

How cool is that, growing up with bees.

[@wastedmercyband8691]

don your the best! thanks for your advice!

[@RobLeepopart]

Dan, you are a really good guitar player too

[@Light_Worker]

I don't like to use GMO corn syrup> Can I use something else instead ?

[@thefamilystore8781]

Can use any corn syrup

[@beccablueeyes99]

Does the brand of clear corn syrup matter?

[@fineshooter]

any type karo is what I use

[@beccablueeyes99]

Thank you. I don't believe Karo is available in my country. So wanted to check.

[@fineshooter]

you can use honey if your not selling bees instead of karo syrup

[@eshanmohammad8797]

How to prevent ant from getting it ??

[@fineshooter]

@rowdymoore007 glad your enjoying them. Don

[@fineshooter]

thanks for watching ,glad you enjoy them. Don

[@theresaferguson6432]

Hi Don, Can you save the extra Bee candy or should we just chunk it .? thanks for all the wonderful Videos... love ya down alabama way.

[@fineshooter]

yo could save it in tupper ware but it don't take long to make it

[@unluckyeddy7966]

Can you use honey something other than corn syrup? My Old Lady is dead set against using corn syrup.

[@fineshooter]

yes we used to use honey yrs ago but it would cause AFB

[@unluckyeddy7966]

She sighed sand said "That's Crappy, Corn Syrup it is"

[@stevekurtz1383]

Might check health food stores for "organic" corn syrup. At least then it wouldn't have GMO corn in it!

[@kaistumer198]

+Unlucky Eddy Use Honey only from your own hives, where you know for sure they are AFB free, then you get the best queen candy you can have.

[@fineshooter]

you could for your own use but don't sell queens with it in it

[@fineshooter]

thanks for watching we will be doing some more learning videos soon. Don

[@ME_MeAndMyBees]

Corn Syrup is a Banned Food Stuff in the UK & EU ! I think 'Golden Syrup' by Tait & Lyle (Glucose Syrup Brand) might be our near alternative? Advise please, if I am wrong. Need a Queen Candy recipe where I can get the ingredient 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@jodyreeder4820]

I think when I first saw your videos was last year, & you showed how to make bee candy, for winter consumption. May I interest you in covering that again, as well? TY

[@michaelmcneil4168]

What were the ingredients? Corn syrup (a poison for humans according to a doctor on TED) and -----?

[@raymcdaniel5539]

Corn syrup is just sugar, glucose and fructose. It isn't poison.

[@michaelmcneil4168]

Brilliant video. He did say that he never uses it for anything else. Cheap syrup can be made from cellulose and sulphuric acid. (I don't know how.) it is a different monomer to the sugar we get from cane. You'd have to look that one up and anyway this is for bee consumption so their metabolism is designed to use sugar differently.

[@terrysaunders8948]

can u use it as fondant to

[@Revealthefactsbpsolanki3456]

Thanks for informative video

[@joecope9935]

I'm confused; why shouldn't we use a marshmallow? Powdered sugar is made from sugar and cornstarch, and you're adding corn syrup. Marshmallows are made out of sugar, cornstarch, dextrose, and corn syrup. What's the difference?

[@3_up_moon]

Joe Cope marshmallows also have gelatin in them

[@julieenslow5915]

Joe Cope Its about the timed release. They can get through a marshmallow in too little time - not yet acclimated and accepting of the queen = dead queen.

This is Francisco here in the North of Portugal, that's a very good video, I have learnt a lot with your videos. I've got 254 hives so far and am splitting them to reach 2000 within 2 years. Thank you very much for your videos. Please follow us on facebook as Wild Honey Valley, thank you very much.

[@WINCHANDLE]

Can I use my Kitchen Aid or Ninja blenders? Is it gluten free? How 'bout transfats? Just kidding. Thanks for the useful information, and sorry for being a wise-ass. How can anyone thumbs down this? Don't feel bad, they'd thumbs down Jesus, Buddha, the Dali Lama, and Mother Theresa!
