Why are my bees not making honey?

[@beesintheweeds]

You got some mean girls there Troy! Haha! “Smoke em till their eyes water.” 🤣 I gotta start using that! Lol

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

Hurt for 2 days and I still didn’t get no sympathy. Lol

[@alvinjoseph8724]

Those girls are not bad because he ain't wearing gloves .in my hives there's no way I'm going in no gloves .

[@KajunHomestead]

I started raising queens for myself for that same reason, when the queens start loosing control of the nest , its time to put a new young queen, she will get the nest organized. I stop giving queens chances to get better, its working alot better for me now.

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

Homegrown queens are the best. Organization tells me a lot about how things are going inside the hive.

After our visit with you Saturday morning, we got back into our hive Sunday. I'm pretty pleased with what I seen with brood production and structure. I learned several things with what I saw with their production on the added frames I gave them. It's definitely interesting!

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

I enjoyed the visit. Welcome to the addiction.

[@DaveCantley]

I've had a few of mine that just want to backfill the brood nest, to heck with the supers....I've been pulling a frame or two every week of nectar and replacing them, all while the drawn supers above just sit there. I've filled a couple of deeps of honey that way this year.

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

I’ll prolly be pulling some too

[@rtxhoneybees]

Ive got a bunch that look like yours except i dont have time to check on why. Besides the nearly daily rains i think i should have fed them in the early Spring. I think they are putting the nectar in the bottom because it was so empty.

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

It’s always so hard to say and so easy to second guess yourself. Hopefully we’ll still get some honey out of those hives.

Dadgum dude my husband was wearing his coffee and I was wearing my soda after this video..too funny! Sorry about the queens🙃

[@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6]

lol. Thanks for watching! I was in a mood after a sting under my eye.

[@alvinjoseph8724]

I have one of those lazy hives which doesn't make honey how they should I've tried everything. And that was my first hive 2 years ago and it's just lazy .
