Improving How I Do Bees

[@navyphil6105]

Bring a funnel for filling with big jug. Also when overcast the bees will be more irritable.

I have big one in my Amazon cart. You’re completely right. Also, I would prefer not to work bees when it’s cloudy but since I still work full time I have to take what I can get.

[@coryrthomas6674]

you did it right

[@BestBuzzHoneyBees]

I’ve learned over the years that you are going to rile the bees up when trying to work hives during a overcast. I always get stung multiple times from even my calm hives when it’s really cloudy and there’s a storm front moving in.

100%. Unfortunately, I still work full time so when I have time to work the bees...the bees must be worked!

👍👍👍

Hmm, wouldn't like them coming to get me, if it wasn't an external issue making them so aggressive, I think I'd replace the queen if that kept up for very long. May I recommend a smaller syrup container you don't wana hurt yourself, that looked heavy. Thanks for sharing your time, Blessed Days...

[@nonsensefarm]

Thank You! I agree. I own smaller jugs but couldn't put my hands on them when I was making syrup. I know where they are now. Also, I have queens ordered but I won't have them until late April. 😞

[@dcsblessedbees]

@@nonsensefarm All good,👍that jug just looked real heavy is all.😁Have a great week.

The sound was great - successful change! Amazing how each hive has a different personality.

[@nonsensefarm]

I was surprised how well it worked!

[@coryrthomas6674]

you should use med box so you can lift them deep on the bottom

[@nonsensefarm]

You know, I go back and forth on that. The fact is that the equipment I currently own are deeps.

[@7777russ]

you should get a large funnel from a car supply store to pour your sugar mixture into.

[@7777russ]

leave those plastic pieces in your apimaye hive when adding the syrup,k the syrup will flow under and you won't have to rescue bees.
