50 degrees in central Massachusetts and the bees are flying like crazy this sunny day. I am feeding 2:1. 4 hives are taking about 25 lbs of sugar a week. Probably won't switch to sugar until December. I use your feeders. You are right, they are great. BTW, these are bees I got from you guys!!!

[@chuckoverturf6710]

Thank you for all the good info that you share about our busy buzzing bees but your life too. This Monday it was the high 70's & they were wide open getting the last of the goldenrod. But yesterday day it never got over 55 in Central S. C. No movement you could see. Then I remembered that I hadn't put the entrance reducer in place. Did immediately, knowing they probably appreciated that. Just for curiosity reasons I put my ear up to the hive and listened. I could hear a light humming from inside. Then I tapped the box a few times, instantly you could feel the hive vibrate & sound off. Hopefully they'll over winter well.

[@nenaelliott8058]

💯👍 I love David's channels and learn so much from the videos. I don't raise bees but my niece does.. So I like to stay informed. I also love coming back after a day or so and reading the comments. So many great stories from wonderful people. You guys rock.

[@julieenslow5915]

Great explanation of winter bees, which I believe only beekeepers even know. Thank you sir!

[@Flachickenman]

My bees i bought from you are going like gang busters down here in fla! Queen still getting after it. But today and yesterday was overcast, raining, 65-70° and they are hungry...1qt everyday...and real pissy!

[@timothyaure9602]

Hadn't seen you for a while. Glad to see you again👍😉

[@N55211]

Thanks David. Very helpful. I'm a first year beekeeper and this content helps a lot. This will be my first winter and I'm a bit nervous. I have 3 hives. 2 of them I started from bees I bought from you and was able to make a 3rd hive over the summer with them. I'm in Ohio so I may need to start to switch from 2:1 syrup which I have on now to dry sugar in a couple weeks but it's hard to tell because right now nights are below freezing but during the day can be 60 degrees so timing is a bit hard for me to tell when to switch to pure dry sugar.

[@charlesoneill466]

Thanks Dave.

[@sheiladuncan1027]

We still had our hummingbird feeders hanging up, and I noticed some honeybees feeding at them. So, just for fun, we set trays with gravel out for a landing base, and began filling them with the leftover nectar. We hadn't seen a honeybee in 3 years in our area. When the nectar ran out we switched to sugarwater, and are getting huge swarms every day, even in rain and 50 degree weather. What I'm wondering is if they are seriously that hungry, or just being opportunistic ? I'm guessing we're drawing from a few hives now, because there's some fighting going on between bees with different coloring. What I'm hoping is that next spring there will be enough that remember where they found food to draw them back to our farm again. Do you think it could happen ? I'm not a beekeeper yet; just watching and learning right now.

[@sarashappyhives1828]

Thank you for feeding the bees 🐝 If they found you this year, chances are they will find you again. 😊

[@DooleyBFR]

Yeah they know you now!

[@sheiladuncan1027]

@@DooleyBFR I hope so ! They're really nice bees. It's giving me a lesson in confidence in refreshing the sugarsyrup while in what feels like a swarm. Maybe I'll get some bees this year.

[@DukeCannon]

When it warms up, my bees come out and go to humming bird feeder looking for food. I guess I should put some sugar water in?

[@arthurpeterson246]

Thanks David you are a big help tex from nc

[@lloydfreeman1203]

You can also use distilled water to make the sugar water.

[@MrSlapneck]

Thank you for explaining this David, your videos have me so much. Oh and someone commented, they see you benching 400, bro I think you could do more than 400. Anyways, thanks again and will be on the lookout for a video in December. have a bless day.

[@davidhaught84]

Thats about all I can do at my old age. Lol. I just had came from the gym. I was sore today.

[@DooleyBFR]

Winter bees have more Vitalaginin! I probly didnt spell it rite! haha but its true!

[@tallcedars2310]

As a new bee keeper I must say this was very informative. Just checked the syrup and it's frozen. Have a sugar feeder that's going in next. Good to know the bees won't touch it untll it's solid, I may have removed it if they hadn't started feeding on it. Are you saying the moisture from the hive make the sugar hard? Lol, your video How To Keep Your Honeybees Alive during Winter was in the margine and answered my question. Yes, the moisture makes the sugar hard:) Thanks from Peace Country Canada.

[@blinkingeye7644]

very useful videos

[@lindahopkins4091]

I am in ellijay. First year beekeeper.. Have 1 hive that is 2 deep brood and 1 honey super. 2nd hive is double deep brood. 3rd hive is a late summer split. 1 deep brood. It seems full of bees. Should I take honey super off hive 1 and give to hive 3 for winter. Or should I leave them and not destroy propolis sealing

[@davidhaught84]

I wouldn't change anything at this point. Just let them stay as is. You are real close. We have a camping spot close to Carters lake.

[@intheshell35ify]

Your nips/nip rings scratched the inside of my tablet screen. Good for you buddy. 😮🎉🎉😂😂

[@lloydfreeman1203]

You can also give about one teaspoon salt in your gallon of apple cider vinegar+ sugar water.adjust the PH as needed.

[@johnhoffman8203]

So you are like the queen in late fall, you begin to cut back on your video production to conserve recourses for winter.

[@davidhaught84]

Lol, yep thats true.

[@dennislintz1]

What to do? I live 15 miles south of Charlotte, NC in SC with same climate as yours. I have been keeping bees for a year and a half. I just found 7 Supercedure cells in my 33 frame Horizontal Long Hive. I didn't find the queen. I have a Hive on the left side with 9 frames and 10 frames in the right side with separate entrances and divider boards between them. Should I get rid of the supercedure cells and combine the 2 hives or should I just let the virgin queen over winter? Thank you. Dennis (US Navy Retired-28 yrs.)

[@MsQuantized]

Combine or try to find someone with a small swarm or queen they'd let you have for that hive

[@jamescraig8601]

Hi Dave ,love your information. I couldn't comment on the video. But your saying if I put a caged laying queen in an area,I can catch a swarm of bees with her?

[@blinkingeye7644]

nice 1 man

[@SteveDratwa]

[@docjohnson2717]

North East Pa. here....dry sugar end of Nov......my bees are unusually docile this month....this is a tough time for the bees and us!!....need to fill the larder for winter!!....you're looking huge these days...I see a 400+ bench press in you!!

[@gwaynewilcox2702]

your content doest always have to be about bees. it's about sharing your life. Make Friends!

[@UnitedAcres]

Homestead Hacks is David’s other channel, it covers more than just bees.

[@davidhaught84]

That true. I like talking about other stuff every now and then.

[@P22-h6t]

How do your hives stay upright? Do you manage to avoid strong winds where you are?

[@davidhaught84]

So far have never had any issues with wind destruction.

[@thesloppyscientist4428]

Somebody is smuggling raisins.

[@vytbbb7146]

so even if there is -20 outside, they still laying eggs?

[@BackyardBeesNC]

Why Are Winter Bees So Much Different? Like you say less work, no brood to raise, so their fat bodies are enlarged, and they get to keep their Vitellogenin till Spring to start the next generation.

[@rose2525bud]

[@meihwalin]

🙂🙂🤗

[@philipbutler6608]

I don’t have enough bees. Mine are gonna die.

[@lloydfreeman1203]

Are you feeding your bees using apple cider vinegar to make it a PH of 5.2 instead of 7.4 or higher? 5.2 is what real honey is, and add enough apple cider vinegar to correct the PH to 5.2 Yes you will need to invest in some PH strips , which are very cheap when considering the bees health. Look up "feeding my bees apple cider vinegar syrup".

[@lloydfreeman1203]

Build your self a clear plastic tiny house, to inspect your hives during bad weather. But in the cold, be sure to have an electric heater, so the temperature is at least 85 degree inside the house before you open the hive. Even 95 degrees would be great so no brood is stressed by the cold. About$15-20 and you have an environment for checking on your bees even when it's raining or cold outside.
