Feeding Bees Pollen Patties (But Are They Taking Them?)

[@shadowmancer7040]

this channel is definitely one of my favorites

[@jpthedelawarebeeman6239]

Congrats on the Silver Play button Jim - now for the gold !

[@TheMrgeefunker]

Congrats!! Been watching the videos for a couple of years. Never would have guessed with the level of quality you put into your videos that you were under 100K subs. I would have thought there was another 0 there. Keep up the great work.

[@vinofarm]

Thank you.

[@budgiebreder]

@@vinofarm i agree - everyone share!!!

[@AmandaTroutman]

Congratulations! One of my favorite channels of all time

[@MarekArawn]

FÉLICITATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! Here'S to another 100k more!

[@KWBuck]

This guy is so dedicated to his 🐝. The man is on a mission and his hives are so impressive. Thank you for sharing. You are in the bee zone!

[@3lvitor]

100K!!! That is a SLAMMING subscriber hive, Jim! KEEP FEEDING US WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE AND VIDEOS!!!! DO NOT SPLIT US! YOU ARE A GREAT SUBSCRIBERKEEPER WE ALREADY HAVE A BARN! A VINOF... BARN!

[@vinofarm]

Now, that’s a comment.

[@hymnodyhands]

YES!

[@Kishandreth]

Wow... It's be a while. I was brought to your channel by trying to get a grasp on the "Flow hive" and how effective/ useful it could be. Then Balboa happened, a legend was born. The new hives look amazing, and might actually push me into keeping a hive for myself (Minnesota gets pretty darn cold). What I appreciate the most, is the honesty. If you screwed up you're willing to admit it. Then you learn from it and move forward. Sometimes you do a dumb and lift a frame of new comb that breaks, but you learned. Can't believe you're coming up on your 5 year anniversary of beekeeping. Keep on keeping on.

[@vinofarm]

This is season 7 of beekeeping! Time flies. Thanks for your support!

[@coastalbuzz6050]

Congratulations Jim-No surprise- you have one of the best beekeeping channels out there! And, as always, looking forward to all your future videos. 👍🏻🐝

[@hisimagenme]

Been with you from the beginning VinoFarms and it's just as awesome as it was then! Congrats! Smiles and blessings... go Bees!!🐝👏

[@vinofarm]

Thanks, Lisa!

[@autumnpaul7575]

Yes there’s so much quality knowledge, entertainment, attention to detail in information as to how and why stuff is done with these little girls. But it’s also so wonderfully pretty- the hives, the layout of the bed yard, the fens shui is awesome!!

[@TheDigitalPrepper]

Congrats on the 100k! You're the best for teaching us all about these awesome little critters. Stay safe out there!

[@Beetroot-k5y]

From sourdough and bread baking to home renovation and beekeeping. You have been a pleasure to watch and learn from. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm 🤠! Well 👍🏼

[@LegendHold1]

Congrats Jim 100,000 whoo-hoo! Your Videos are all so informative. Great informative videos are the ones I seek out on KZbin. You totally deserve all the subscribers you get. We all understand making this type of really good content is very time consuming and when you have a busy life, sometime it takes a week or so to gather up enough content to post. Still we look forward to each and every post you can put up because we know it's going to be thoughtful, fun, well presented, entertaining as well as exceptionally informative. Were in it for the enjoyment of the ride Jim...not just the destination. Keep it up!

[@hymnodyhands]

Congratulations!

[@cbbees1468]

Happy to hear the bees are enjoying their craftsman homes, well done on the survival rate.

[@evettemariedepew]

Honestly, I’m not a bee keeper, I don’t aspire to be. I’ve even tried watching other bee channels and I just can’t, I just find the way YOU do it absolutely fascinating and your videos are really enjoyable!! I haven’t missed a video in years and I’ll continue to always watch!!

[@jprob2443]

Woot Woot !!

[@johnabbottphotography]

Congratulations on 100k! You make great content, sir... and you know how when to not make content just to make it. Keep telling the story of your hives. Its fascinating.

[@vinofarm]

Thanks for your support all these years!

[@sabbys7750]

I'm glad that you stuck around cuz I would've missed your content!! Thank you and CONGRATS!!!!!!

[@Avocadito]

You deserve at least a million, congrats!

[@BosnWayne]

Well done Sir. I appreciate you

[@lagrangebees]

Booming hives, 100K subs, I'm really happy for you! Well deserved and here's to many more years of beekeeping! 🍻🐝🥳

[@rhondasavva2500]

We are all sending you the fireworks. Thanks Jim for all your time and we also appreciate you

[@timan2039]

Why would anyone assume that bees are lazy and wasteful? Insulation seems logical, conserving resources leaving a stronger workforce for the spring. I have a feeling that your summer will be fun. Great work.

[@BugFarmerBees]

That is a lot of K's. You earned every one of them. Thanks for being out there.

[@julieenslow5915]

So glad to see you hit the 100k mark! Well done! This was a great explanation video, you've become very good at knowing what people will notice and ask about and so now you deliver the answers with the intended content. Keep it up and you will become a Doctor of Reading People's Thoughts from Afar! LOL! Keep it up Jim, I always enjoy your content!

[@janisur]

Fireworks well deserved! Love the high quality videos!

[@raerohan4241]

Congrats on 100K! 🎉🥳 As for the pollen patties, I think it's silly to think giving them to bees will make them lazy. If you plant a huge patch of spring-blooming plants right next to a hive, will it condition them to no longer go far away for pollen in later months once those flowers nearby have stopped blooming? Of course not. Even if the bees did prefer the substitute (which, as you said, they don't), that's still not how bees work at all

[@Wosiewose]

The idea of lazy bees cracks me up! :D

[@newdigsgardeners9167]

Congrats! we've been watching from the beginning and it's really great to see you doing the happy bee dance again.

[@jackthecat4924]

You're such a teacher. Congrats!! Keep educating all of us dreamers who wish we had a plot of land and very few neighbors close by ...

[@tomasjosefvela1]

Congratulations!!!! Seriously thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us, you are truly a very inspiring person to me.

[@vinofarm]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelwest5596]

Congratulations Jim! It’s been great to see your channel grow these past five years.

[@mattsara2802]

Congrats Jim 🎉

[@tmntleo]

It's so nice to see your hives slamming this early in the year. I got a message through about the hive I adopted and apparently they made it through the winter too so I am glad.

[@TheUnknownBeekeeper]

Gratz on 100k subs

[@437AlBig]

Glad to hear this Jim. Keep those videos coming.

[@AndrewAHayes]

Congratulations Vino Farm!

[@kennith.]

Congrats on the 100K well deserved.

[@caseyj.brooks2578]

Thank you so much for your videos! New England bee keeping is a different ball game and people don’t understand. I used 2 inch foam this year to over winter. All my hives made it alive and are huge already compared to my tiny clusters last year! Can’t wait to get warmer weather.

[@KwilliamsFLA]

YOU ROCK BUD .... CONGRATS

[@paulahello7435]

Hey neighbor! Picking up my first 2 packages in Barre today. So excited. Just wanted to thankyou sincerely for not only helping me through covid but for inspiring me to do it myself.

[@vinofarm]

Tell George I said Hello!

[@Mandren]

Congratulations on 100k subs. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@massachusettsprepper]

Congratz, 100K subs is awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@vinofarm]

Thank you!

[@RyanMcDonnough]

Putting the patties directly over the brood nest will help to increase the rate of consumption And when it’s time to buy more, look into Global Patties with 15% pollen. I have been testing them against Ultra Bee and the bees prefer the Global. Randy Oliver published a very good comparative analysis of patties in ABJ. Global was top performer.

[@bayareasparky9180]

Congratulations Jim!

[@SteveMcGuire2008]

Congrats Buddy.... Love the channel, keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!!!

[@oscarcaraan810]

Congrats on 100k subs. I stumbled on your channel a few years ago searching for a little info about bees. Before you, I could not find content on how to start beekeeping. I've learned a lot from this channel and your content is very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing and bringing us along.

[@troyclapsadle8237]

CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K!!!🎉🎊🍾

[@dp.2766]

Congrats 🎊🎉🍾🎈 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝👍

[@TheBHiveHomestead]

Awesome my friend. You helped inspire me to do bees and I am so happy I did. keep up the great work and many blessing to you and your family.

[@leagarner3675]

I so enjoy your successes. I got out of beekeeping originally because of the demands of raising small children. Dabbled a bit but didn't get back in. But it's enjoyable to see your experiments. I might get back into beekeeping because of you. Keep up the great videos. Best.

[@bluzervic]

Nice, bees are looking good. When the maples popover here it’s swarming season. Congrats on your 100k and don’t forget to share your reward from KZbin….some plaque I think 🧐

[@vinofarm]

Thanks! Will do! I just found out you actually need to request one and they need to review the channel to make sure it's in good standing. I always thought those things just appeared one day. I started the process and will definitely share when I get it.

[@bethkellogg6502]

Just wanted to tell you I love all your videos. Please keep making them. I am a new beek and have learned so much from you. Thanks Beth Ohio

[@chrishandy677]

You think outside the box i admire the fact you haven't just excepted things. When you put out plans for new bee barn I'm going to try them also congratulations on more than 100 thousand subscribers

[@craigorchard3866]

Congratulations love your videos you make them so interesting hope to see many more watching all the way from the UK

[@esparka]

Dang it, get back on that solid, well-constructed, active beehive & do the Vino-In-Your-Face Happy Dance again for your haters... Then, I can laugh & laugh & laugh again for yet another week! Thanks for sharing

[@54hmmwv]

Thank you for posting your adventures and experiments in bee keeping. I'm new to tending to bees and all of the experimental knowledge you provide is invaluable.

[@lorimyhre9262]

Congratulations on hitting 100k!

[@Spire70]

[@kellysiers6358]

Congratulations on the mile stone. 🎉

[@bfd1565]

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscriber. Bee keeping and farming is a little different for those of us in the northeast.

[@cliff8675]

Congrats on the 100K

[@princessagatha9991]

Congratulations on 100k! I’ve been watching since year 2 (I think?) and I thoroughly live vicariously as an armchair beekeeper through you. I appreciate the thought, the process and the amount of effort you put into everything you do.

[@Jason-xu6pi]

Yeah, my bees don't touch pollen sub when there is "real" pollen available. I put pollen patties on last weekend. Good luck this year.... may your swarms stay close and your supers be full 😀

[@beesandtractors]

Great video and congrats on the 100k!! I've learned so much watching you and you always keep it interesting!!

Make sure you do a video showing off that Silver Play Button in the bee yard. Congrats and thank you for sharing the journey with the rest of us. I have learned a lot and gained some great insight. Cheers!

[@vinofarm]

Will do!

[@lialos]

Congratulations on the 100k mark!

[@pushingpositivity518]

thank you for posting this. im starting my first hive this spring/summer and i live in upstate ny. it gets cold here around october early november and i have been worried about the hive because i am just learning all of this. thank you i hope you post more videos.

[@pspuria81]

congrats on the 100k

[@weregonnabzzz4648]

Well done!

[@kristinfrancis7798]

They also sell pollen powder. But I have found and experienced that they will eat it if there isn’t any other source but if it’s out in nature they won’t touch it! They know what they need

[@drrota]

Congrats on your 100K, I'll be here for the next 100K!!!

[@Joylili2020]

Please make more videos, we love them!!!!

[@vinofarm]

Would love to hear your plans for swarms this spring. Thanks!

We’re a while away from swarms, but you will hear all about it as we get closer.

[@marjoriewilliams4986]

Congratulations!!! I love your channel! 🎆

[@thatguy3456]

It is good feed dry on the warm days too, it only stimulates them more. My rule is when the crocuses bloom the Patties go on.

[@manatoa1]
