Tipping Back BC Beez

[@DuckRiverHoney]

It’s funny when you get excited you start quoting Jar Jar Binks “Nicea nicea!” 😂

[@ETsBees]

It makes me happy to seeing a box of bees, even if they’re not mine

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

Best quote of the day. "or we might keep them", "yes we are". Lol amen sister. Insistent good help is a God send.

[@morrishomesteadgirls]

Thise bees look awesome! Great winter!

[@brianbennett4374]

Looking good 👍 still so cold crazy I didn't know bee's fly that cold. Good luck this season 👍

[@boscodog4358]

"Now". What is your swarm plans? They are looking good 😊!

[@paulgroth5414]

Amazing! They look great! Love the wintershed system....

[@kh7794]

After those barrel loads of bees that died I wouldn't get rid of anything, but then I've never seen that before! Got sucked in a couple of years ago when I was ill and to take my brain out of my reality I started watching swarms, cut outs and the hypnotizing marches (still my favorite) and morphed into watching the hobbyist to commercial keepers. Fascinating how the same temp from Canada down to Southern States creates such different reactions. Still haven't figured out why, but it sure is curious. Equally amazing is the volume of a bee poop! Impressive.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Me too!

[@jerrydegroot1573]

I see happy beekeepers, what a joy!

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

Nice work Carrie you definitely deserve credit as well..

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Some strong boxes there!! 🐝💪🏻💪🏻

[@jtlearn1]

Your bees look great!!

[@russellkoopman3004]

Where did all the dead bees come from? Those boxes are packed with bees. Good job Ian.

[@carloscrenz9433]

Bueno día qué linda salieron las colmenas de la cámara un diez saludos 🐝😎☕💪💪🇦🇷

[@juanpabloperez142]

Exelente colmenas!!!!! Felicitaciones por tan buen trabajo 💪💪💪

[@vetsis3billionddola]

I enjoyed learning about the different types of bees and how they are managed.

[@anatoliym]

Can you please share what medication and mite treatment you are giving them ? Thank you. Looking great !

[@Pixel01010101]

I have a couple Huxter queens as well and they have come thru the winter with a box full of bees as well in Vancouver

[@aaronparis4714]

Wish we could get some nice weather man it’s been shitty in Nova Scotia snowing today😢

[@beeshb1352]

Hello, I'm from Sinaloa, Mexico, I'm impressed by the amount of bees you manage to keep in the winter, how you manage to keep the boxes full of bees.

[@RedCreekHoneyCo]

Looks like a great start. So jealous. Here in Northern Central Ohio it's been rain/snow mix this week. Ugh.

[@kh7794]

Same here on the border of Alberta and Montana, Alberta side. We ALWAYS need the moisture though so no complaints. Spring will be next week. By August we'll be back to desert temps so I am NOT complaining!

[@johngardner1898]

Amazing strength.

[@aaronparis4714]

Love that sounds (bees)😅

[@Warrenslife76317]

I love that sound.

[@tjjastrem127]

Good stock +good nutrition+ effective mite management = results

[@dcsblessedbees]

Those are full nucs. Oh those are the BC packages, those are doing great.

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

WE got 40cm more "Spring" here in Maine yesterday !

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

😮🥶

[@siamakarya]

ممنون از شما که با دیدن این زیبایی روز من رو زیبا کردی دیدن زنبور حتی مال خودم نباشه من خوشحال میکنه از ایران برای شما و خانواده شما ارزوی موفقیت میکنم و پیگیر کارهای بعدیت هستم❤❤❤❤

[@mikehill9888]

Would a tray feeder for chickens with a top covering the material from rain or moisture give more area for the bees to fill up and not be fighting for a place at the dinner table? 3 or 4 foot long.

[@НиколайЕпифанов-б3д]

Доброго дня, у вас можно учииються и добиться результатов, хорошего сесона!!!!🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@eijihirano3240]

Exelente trabalho com muito proficionalismo,nota 10 No Brasil a apis e africanizada,muito agreciva,impossivel levantar a colmeias sem fumaca. Tenho um pouco. Brasil.

[@lomavistabeeco]

You have my usual weather and I have yours. The snow level was low here today and unusually cold for central CA

[@time2fly2124]

you mentioned you are seeing about a month ahead of schedule and i think were about the same, maybe 3 weeks here in NY. i'm thinking about pulling off some strong nucs next week as ive been seeing drones in my colonies for a while now, and some of my girls are packing lots of brood in their double deeps. swarm season is gonna be crazy this year, and fortunately i love picking up swarms!

[@benmarston2242]

If you don’t mind me asking what was the white powder you were using for foul brood? ( type of treatment?)

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Oxytet, last year I had efb

[@irenedjapa8805]

It's been raining non-stop brother for the last 2-3 days Monday or Tuesday I'll be able to get out there looks like you're the lucky dog here

[@sdcorah9912]

Looking great! Quick question, what medication are you giving them and where do you get it? BeeMaid?

[@tritonewr4054]

Box-o-Bees!

[@terrymccann7658]

Ian how do you think the bee packages you got last year over wintered ?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Not as good as mine, but they look good

[@mikehill9888]

The first year the packages were visiting and now Ian's good food will make them pop into gobs of bees. Harvest the Honey and haul the semi loads into the Industry.💯🤑💰🌍

[@aaronparis4714]

Videos are coming now 😊been a long winter

[@barbeonline351]

Now if you can get your buyer to accept totes as well as barrels. You aren't going to have the time to handle individual barrels.... So, will you add yards (and distance) to make sure you have enough flow to keep this new army fully employed?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Not claiming victory quite yet lol

[@lenturtle7954]

It rained in white fox today . We are Supposed to have nice weather for 3 weeks ! I looks wonderful there . Raccoons tore the screens off of about 20 pails in one yard a few years ago . It was a waste of a lot of sugar syrup .

[@jackwaau]

I don't know what wild colonies survive up there. It may not be a silly idea to give some drone frames and flood the area. With genes you like. Did you work out what the break-even point is, on the large buy of packages last year?

[@ЕдуардФоменко-ф8н]

it looks good

[@aidanquick3151]

6s are cranking

[@manoelneves]

Parabéns meu amigo pelo seu trabalho você merecem 🇧🇷🐝🐝🐝🐝🪷🏵️

[@jenohrasko6390]

Dear Ian! What breed are your BC bees? Buckfast, italian, carnica?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Carni, bit of Italian

[@jenohrasko6390]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesruan913]

What’s the area size of this beeyard ? Whats the tree line species?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Scrub oak, poplar 1/2 acre on the edge of a gravel pit

[@robert12345678912312]

Are you going to put #another-box on those bees? Soon.😊😊

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

In 3 weeks

[@justinsorenson]

I hope you have a plan for all them bees. 😅

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

No plan yet, first gotta hold steady

[@Drewjober]

I started with Italian buckfast

[@chuckcard402]

do you not have bears in your area

[@Fghh-w3w]

amazing

[@victorviorel9485]

👍

[@dudeskirt4005]

Fun, fun, fun...

[@Dm.Alex.]

Oxrenet', To put it in Russian. Very strong families. I'm jealous of the white!! Very cool.

[@honeybeebobbyhoward6326]

Have you ever had problems with theft with your bees

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

I always think about it

[@barbeonline351]

Bears and skunks.

[@kh7794]

That would be disgusting ....but they still rustle cattle here in Alberta so I don't put anything past thieves.

[@Bobcagon]

Coming out to BC again? Honk your horn along Mara Lake to say Hi.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Yes! I made a 5 year plan

[@Bobcagon]

@@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog 😀

[@adamdavidson2095]

What med are you use for efb? Just curious i know Canadian laws are different than US. I was born and raised in Grand Forks North Dakota. Not to far from you guy's.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Oxytet or something like that

[@pwsaker]

We had cleansing flights in February and now we have 20cm of snow. #confusedbees

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

😢

[@BrunosBienenSchweiz]

1:07 100 bees become postage stamps. Gruß Bruno Schweiz 🇨🇭

[@BrunosBienenSchweiz]

no, thousands😢

[@russellkoopman3004]

Did you find any brood? Just a small patch or two?

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Just a patch side of a fist over 2-3 frames Now laid 2-3 frames tight out

[@barkersbees]

I hate freakin skunks. Are they thick up there? I live along a river and there is a lot of them. They scratch the front of the hive and eat the bees as they come out.

[@aCanadianBeekeepersBlog]

Many

[@matthewklump7586]

Nice to see big healthy clusters. Look like your way better off this spring than the last two years. He'll, yeah

[@MerrittHoney]

Never been glad to see a “shit show” until now…lol😂
