Honey explosion in the 6’s - 08/01/2019

[@Loglakeliving]

Great finale in the sunflower field. A tremendous amount of “brilliance” going on. What miraculous work the bees do....(and you and your family!....and Carrie and the gang too!).

[@rodsmith6453]

You sir are a hard working man thank you for your time making and sharing your videos I can only wish i were half the bee keeper that you are

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Thanks for the update! They are definitely ROCKIN'! I am added another super on one of my hives today too! I LOVE your sunflower field full of bees! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy the insight into the commercial side!

[@nancynolton6079]

You should remind yourself to watch this video again in the depths of winter to ward off all your winter worries! Fantastic!

[@thecolburnfarm7613]

180 acres of sunflowers. That's great. Great video like always. Bees like clover and they say they like goldenrod and goldenrod here is right out in full bloom but no bees on any of it. But they are still bringing in pollen and nector. I'm going on vacation this week and bought more boxes to put on my hives to give them room. Where I'm going I dont get cell service and no internet so I'm going to have to binge watch your videos when I get back.

[@thegardenfarmer]

Cant wait till I get my numbers up. Amazing work Ian

[@timheidel5849]

I enjoy your videos...I have learned a lot. Much respect for your hard work.

[@phil70660]

In France we have just finished the sunflower, but not enough water and too hot. Your videos are superb. Greetings

[@ba9628]

Do you run a queen excluder on these taller boxes

[@914Catfish]

Thank you for all the good information. I know this video is a little older, but could you please explain the hive set up you are using. I see what looks like three 5s with deep 10s on top and then 3, 5 frame lids? Is that correct? Is there a queen in each nuc? Thank you

[@julieenslow5915]

A beautiful sight to behold! Congrats!

[@timmo7913]

Same here in N. Idaho. I haven't seen a nectar flow like this in a long time. It's been wet this season BUT mild temps have kept the flowers blooming twice as long, and the bees still able to fly. We still have the linden, alfalfa, and knapweed flow to look forward to. Manage your hives people or they'll swarm.

[@rsavain]

I see some type of separator. Am I right and what is it for?

[@greenmachineman7]

maybe you've answered this in another video, but why do you use three covers for two hives instead of one outer cover for each colony?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

I just raise the lids up instead of exchanging equipment

[@mirodilshokirov4042]

​@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog where can i apply for beekeeping?

[@jenyrich4345]

HiWhy did you stop using this method? You started using a single brood box

[@glenmayeux3870]

Does sunflowers produce nectar

[@aykradam8176]

Hello, are you working as a sole incubator?

[@eng.knowledgeseeker]

Oh man so beautiful, you raised a great army of bees .hard works payed off

[@noahriding5780]

Its probably the sunflower fields nearby where you are still getting nectar from. In my garden the sunflowers are just barely getting all the bees from all around too.

[@rsavain]

That seems to be a bee escape. So you ha 3 to 4 boxes of filled honey boxes above bee escape and you add new empty honey boxes below extruder. Pls advise.

[@homesteadhacksandhens]

Dang, your bees look amazing!!!

[@beekeeper53NC]

I have a neighbor who plants black oil sunflower to mow for dove hunting and the bees don’t hardly touch it. What kind of sunflower makes nectar? Piedmont North Carolina.

[@СергейКовшиков-ю9х]

Hello How many queens work in the lower case

[@janosjegyinak2357]

Hi! If I understand correctly, 3 separate families work below, then they work on a mother grid and a common honeycomb. Isn't this a problem for bees? Would you describe the essence of this system in a few sentences? Thanks

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

It’s all about allowing the bees to mingle, but keep the queens apart

[@janosjegyinak2357]

And isn't that a problem for families? and how long can they be honeyed in this way? must they be escaped back before or before the end of full wear? What's more, so that on average more honey can be produced with them?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Look back at past vids

[@tkoragen3527]

Nice work, nice technique. So completely different in ordinary EU practice of beekeeping. My questins if I can: How you stoping swarming of the "sixers"!? 3 queens (each by one)? Is there some your video about spring jobs in yard? Thanks in advance and best regards

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

TkoRa general These queens are mated in June, fresh queens with lots of honey storage space not as likely to swarm. By the time they mature, fall is upon us

[@tkoragen3527]

I was thinking that they are 2019' and there is no "swarm intention". Nice work, nice Canola, nice honey at all

[@ericmailsend]

I’m a noob backyard beekeeper, so sorry for the ignorance, I have been searching your video’s and can’t find where or if you talk about 3 nuc’s sharing 2nd 3rd... boxes. I’ve seen you combine hives with newspaper between boxes to slow them down for a successful merge, but 3 boxes, I assume 3 queens? How does that work? Did I miss a video where you explain it?

[@russellkoopman3004]

When you pull off the honey boxes do all or most of the bees fly off back to their hive? Do you have to wait for them to escape several hours? I'm new to bees and your operation is huge and impressive. WOW!!

[@leesommer5871]

Do you have a video for your homemade (seems to be) Queen excluder? Thanks.

[@patrickdunne1150]

[@baldingsbees5745]

What’s your breeder queen stock?! I need production like this in California.

[@seeyouonthemountainbeekeeping]

I heard him say in a video it is Saskatraz and he mentioned Olivares out of California. I talked to them the other day very nice people

[@johnward3946]

I think he said he runs all Carniolans?

[@СергейКовшиков-ю9х]

This breed is buckfast? Where did you get the material? Which bee is kind? Which lines?

[@revengeofsuperman]

Hey Ian, I built some 6s and wanna try your technique next season. I still dont understand how 6 frames are enough for a queen laying continuously? Where the pollens are stored? We dont have a continuous pollen flow here. So I built some double stacked 6s. 12 frames for each queen x 3 = 36 frames for brood area. I'm very interested in multiple queen hives, coz I can harvest spring honey. I'm sure you've heard of Ivan Vener!

[@boatman6865]

180 acres of sunflowers, I guess that would make for a lot of happy bees. I presume it is used for sunflower oil and then silage?

[@russellkoopman3004]

Most farmers raise flowers for seed or oil in the US and Canada. Not sure why we don't. I guess we just use corn for silage.

[@deannelson9565]

Sunflowers are very very dead when we take them so silage would not be an option. Sunflower are one of the most beautiful crops when alive and one of the ugliest when dead.

[@jorgedeltiempo]

Algún hispanohablante que me pueda explicar como hacen para trabajar de forma común a varias colmenas en las mismas alzas sin que maten las reinas de las otras colonias, o incluso entre las mismas abejas? Será por el bestial flujo de néctar? Que no se preocupan de esto? O tal vez por la raza de las abejas? Si alguien me puede dar una respuesta estaría agradecido, me parece un sistema impresionante por su productividad y por la propia evolución que deben de tener las colmenas. Un trabajo impresionante. Amaizing. Thank you.

Most, if not all commercial farmers use pesticides.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

The oil type sunflowers we grow require less spraying

[@seeyouonthemountainbeekeeping]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog what do you spray?

[@rajbeekie7124]

@onelove I see it differently. Pesticides, innovations, plant breeding, etc. have resulted in an abundance of food. Today, even in Africa and many parts of India obesity is the problem. Fifty years ago, millions died from food shortages. In all parts of the world, except a few, people are living longer and healthier lives. Peace

[@rajbeekie7124]

@onelove I love your engagement. If it weren't for pesticides, medicine, etc. the world would be a fraction of the population we have today. 100 years ago a ripe old age was in your 50s. Back then, life was tough. I don't know about you, I love modern life even when we have to use pesticides, etc. It is all a trade-off. As it relates to nature we as humans cannot hurt, destroy, or make nature better. Nature is a force beyond human comprehension and it always wins.
