Start the day with Kaylee and the Bees...I don't care if I have seen it before. What a way to start the day. Best buzz I can think of. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@RidgeLife]

Great video! Thx. We hope our bees content is near this good @RidgeLife! Have a Blessed Day!

[@deanablythe9394]

Yes, thanks that was one of my burning questions as I have never seen bees in the winter. Once again thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Lex5576]

World's prettiest beekeeper.

[@silverviking33]

if you have a look at other bee keepers during the winter, they reduce the hive size so there is not so much space to heat up. normally reducing the size down to 2 boxes.

[@robertlafollette8931]

The drone is great. See you next year Honey Girl. God Bless your family and the girls, Love Robert!

[@OldReddingFarm]

After hearing the men talk about having to learn to fly them, Conner is doing an amazing job with his control of his drone. Make sure you let him know he did amazing! Happy New year!

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

That is very interesting. I didnt know a lot of that. When we camp in the fall when it warms up its amazing how many show u at camp looking for something sweet to eat. Thanks for sharing my friend and happy new year to you and your family. I hope yall have a blessed week. Happy New Year young lady, to you and your family, keep up the fun videos. Dale

I added your video to my beekeeping playlist on my homestead channel @RidgeLife

[@TheHoneystead]

Oh thank you!!!! I will sub you back ❤️

[@RidgeLife]

The Honeystead that’s so nice. Thank you!

[@SaveOurBees]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your perspective on wintering bees. It's a little different in Australia since we have a milder winter and different challenges. It's good to see beekeepers manage their hives to suit their local environment. 🤗 Can I ask, which state are you in?

[@Citystead]

Oh fun with the drone!

[@Swarmstead]

Dancing and watching at the same time. 😁

[@LifesJustDucky]

Beautiful video never a disappointment! Didn’t know that about bees 🐝

[@edwardclark2695]

See ya next year-boy that's a long way off, 😉

[@johnnymayo8534]

Awesome drone footage!! And thanks for this video. Now I know that bees cluster around their queen and vibrate to create a warm environment. Now I know!!

[@TheHoneystead]

❤️ they are such awesome creatures!

[@racerx5o]

The drone footage is awesome. I have always wondered what the bees 🐝 do

[@TheHoneystead]

Thank you! My son was super proud to share it with me ❤️

[@thebestbeenumber1]

Веселого Нового року! Успіху. 👍🐝🥳

[@apiculture]

thank you for the valuable information

[@LittleCountryCabin]

New sub! Great video full of great info. I’m a new lady beekeeper and I look forward to learning from you beautiful footage by the way. Gods blessings to you!!

[@TheHoneystead]

That is awesome and welcome ❤️ Thank you so much for your kindness!

[@WindmillFarm]

Great video! We are so nervous about what our hive will look like when we open it in the spring. It was acting funny the last time we checked on it

[@TheHoneystead]

I’m always here if you have any questions ❤️

[@WindmillFarm]

Thanks hun! We are planning to try to expand a little and I want to become more hands on. Going to get me a suit like yours first lol! -Cat

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

We're looking to add bees. We have a local honey farm down the road where we're hoping to learn alot. But will definitely be watching your stuff

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohhhh you will love becoming a beekeeper ❤️❤️

[@CigarBeachBum]

Someone got a Drone for X-Mas. Girls are looking good !! And you look happy :)

[@TheHoneystead]

My son was so pumped! Hope you guys have a lovely 2020!

[@tomfairbourn6998]

Working to get my little bee yard to look as nice as yours. great job

[@TheHoneystead]

Thank you Tom!!! Make sure to share! I have a thing for other beekeepers bee yards lol!

[@KeepingItDutch]

Good job

[@TheHoneystead]

Awwwww ty ❤️❤️❤️ hope you guys have an awesome 2020!

[@ourselfreliantlife]

So far so good on our bees. We've been feeding them. We're debating on getting pollen patties.

[@TheHoneystead]

That is awesome! If you supplement with a few patties make sure to give a little sugar as well!

[@JohnnyBarger-sb3yh]

Green Dream Project I’m on the mind set to let my bees work. It doesn’t hurt for them to have to work extra hard. It just want let them starve out. For me bees do best when we leave them alone as much as we can.

[@STELIN_DSOUZA]

nice videos, great n helpful........please tell me what are the remedies to eradicate varroe mites from hives

[@badassbees3680]

Your getting Alot of bees! Waiting for Spring is driving me crazy already

[@TheHoneystead]

Ugh me too!!

[@badassbees3680]

@@TheHoneystead good thing for you tube that's only way I make it through I think, I watch Soo many videos I need to be making equipment instead 😂

[@TheHoneystead]

Baddest Bees lol sounds like a binge watching building session is in order 🙌

[@apveening]

Have you considered insulating the hives (at least in winter) so their resources last longer?

[@437AlBig]

If you don't mind me asking what type of drone are you using? I'm interested in getting one. Thanks. Glad your girls are doing so well right now. I live in Northeast PA and it's been too cold for mine to get out and fly. Hopefully by the end of the week it will be just warm enough for them to fly out.

[@TheHoneystead]

Not at all!!! This one was the Mavic Mini 😉 hope you have a wonderful year and your bees are successful ❤️

[@ECP]

Hello The Honeystead... New Beekeeper here making some videos too.... What do you feed if anything to your hives during Winter?

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Nice Video of the bees, what Drone is your son using for the footage?

[@TheHoneystead]

It is a Mavic Mini :) super easy to fly and takes great footage!

[@cliftonsnider1520]

Why do you tie your hive down, is it got wind or bears. We’re in northern BC so it would be bears up here.

[@Mackabees]

Your son does a great job flying the UAV's. A drone is a Male bee. Haha.

[@TheHoneystead]

Hahaha

[@justincollins9172]

What kind of bee suit do you have

[@TheHoneystead]

Massive Bee Store :)

[@ameisherry]

I thought they only have one female which is the queen 👑 and the rest all are male bees 🐝 isn’t it?

[@TheHoneystead]

All the bees you see out flying and collecting pollen and nectar are actually female 💋💪🏼 there is one queen and there are a few males, but there purpose is to eat, sleep, mate, and then well... die! We have much love for the boys, but in the end their fate is sealed!

[@ameisherry]

The Honeystead cool 😎 I didn’t know about that part at all How you tell a male and female bees 🐝 ? I know how to tell the squirrels 🐿 but I don’t have a hive here so I believe all those I saw are females, they help me a lot in the garden I’m very appreciated

[@daneilmzhr1237]

لو سمحتي هذه التي فوق العاسلة ما هيا

[@larrytornetta9764]

They do bee everything they do during the summer but fly.
