IF you treat for mites, YOU NEED to do THIS!!
As a beekeeper everyone needs to make a crucial decision- to treat for mites or to be treatment free. If you decide to treat for mites you have quite a few options out there and you need to make the choice that works for you. I talk about my experience of having BOTH a treatment free beeyard and one where I use Formic Pro and in my 10 years of beekeeping experience what I do and what works for me. #beekeeperlife #bees #newbeekeepers#forthehive#formicpro

Poison Ivy!!! It’s everywhere! Lots of people misidentify poison ivy or think poison ivy is another plant when it isn’t! Now that’s a big mistake! Let’s look at some look alike plants that are commonly misidentified as poison ivy and then compare to real thing!
How to keep a caught swarm from leaving your bee yard again!!
Переглядів 999Місяць тому
There’s nothing like the thrill and excitement of catching a swarm of bees! Especially for a beekeeper! Free bees means you are not spending 150- 200 plus bucks to start a new hive in your bee yard. I try my best to split my hives and manage my bee yard to reduce swarming, but even with a strong hive that overwinters and is split, some hives will swarm no matter what! If a swarm happens from yo...

Swarming vs Absconding (what’s the difference)
Переглядів 435Місяць тому
In this video we talk about the difference between your bee colony swarming and absconding. What causes them and when do they happen? Also, did your hive really abscond or are just trying to save face and not admit your bees just died out over time??
Why do beehives swarm??
Переглядів 1872 місяці тому
So why exactly do hives swarm? Do you want your hive to swarm? Beekeepers need to know why hives swarm to hopefully minimize it, unless you want your honeybees to swarm!
GIANT Swarm caught at night!! ( nothing goes as planned)
Переглядів 1452 місяці тому
I noticed a giant bee swarm, most likely from my own bee yard, on a tree. The problem was that I noticed the swarm at 8:30 at night!!! Catching a bee swarm is fun, but dealing with this swarm in the dark was not!!!

I had the same drowning issue you had. But I modified the floats by gluing vinyl screen on the underside of them. And now it's the best feeder I've ever had. It's the fastest, I can have it as a trickle feeder and I can use it to open feed. It's seriously hard to beat.
We bought our house and property that hadn’t had anyone living in it since the 70’s. I planted a garden for the last two years in an 30’x20’ area that is contained with chain link fencing. My garden grew fantastic, like unbelievably fantastic. I found out that the owners back in the 70’s had a daughter who raised show lambs in that area in the chain linked fencing. That lamb manure is over 50 years old! There is also a horse stable with 3 stalls just full of 50 year old horse manure. I have enough fertilizer to last my life time, and who ever gardens here after I’m gone. I now joke about having antique manure fertilizing my garden, flowers, trees…etc.
One thing for sure he likes to BABBLE!!!!!
Did it work?
Lose that hat.
Did you get to try a mayapple? How did it taste? I'm going to try to grow some in my backyard, going to see if it will grow in a pot.
instead of using a queen excluder try doing your cut comb as the second super. The queen will not cross a full honey super.
I see him
You missed a swarm cell in the first hive and first frame You toke out.
That was very informative. We are doing our 1st mite check. Information is knowledge. Ty
Great information... I will definitely succession plant my dwarf fruit trees. Thanks!
My babies get about 3 weeks old and die out of the blue
Howdy from Little Switzerland area 👋🫡
Looks pretty cool! Would you still recommend buying this years later? Pros and cons? Would love to hear!:)
I have yet to find a chew toy that our American Bulldog/Great Dane Cross cannot destroy, replacing it lol, money back is more like it lol.
I’m hopeful for this one! I think they use for zoo animals. And they will replace! Gonna give an update in a month I think!
You have no bees? Why don't you have bees in there?
I wish I would have to be busy with taking my trash once a week that would kill 1 and half hours of my week for something meaningful rather than going nuts in the city and having nothing to do with my day (ps.I work 8 hours a day)
Yes, they do because I used to have turkey on my grandfather farm.
Hey nice vid, i got another idea, it works very well. Drill a Pole in the ground (a small log or a stick. Put a small roof on it, and let a string hang down. Put these 10 metres near the hive. It's easy to build and effectiv. Another information: don't melt up your wax for these. Put a small hive near the swarm area, collect some beewax and let the waxmoth in. The pheromones of the eaten wax and the poo of the moth larva is like a magnet to the bees. The pheromones smell until 2 years then you have to put new larvas and wax in the hive. Important pls use just your own wax, because in america is a creepy bee sickness, that will rotten your larvas.
What a waste of time
Thanks for showing this Sourwood - much appreciated!
Wife here! Have two baby turkeys. Your video has instilled so much happiness and excitement for the future with these amazing animals ❤
I have found elderberry to be so invasive. Ive tried removing them from my garden and they just keep coming back. I moved them to an area I'd rather have them grow and they have already spread like crazy! Anyone else find this? I love having it but it's just taking over.
Your dog looked like a dinky fox coming in 😂
I have bearded silkies too, i breed those, currently 28 chicks! &Just got 2 turkey chicks yesterday. Hope i get male & female now i see your video. My son loves the names you chose!
Wat kind of mulch do you use
you will have better growth if you use a lot of aged wood chips to hold moisture. they need full sun AND lots of water which is why people plant them around water. aged arborist wood chips are great at adding humus to the soil and holding moisture and nutrients. the effects of mowing it down is common to many plants. it actually encourages them to reproduce and spread. you can propagate them by cuttings as well. very easy plant.
Did he ever get to the EASIEST way to make a new queen? I watched through 6 minutes, but I never got past the talking part.
It’s that time of the year. Poison Ivy season. I’ve been seeing it pop up in the yard. Slowly taking it out carefully. Nothing like my first year when we moved here it was all over
i love this channel, glad to see you're still going strong!
Thanks! Still having fun!
Whata' jerk! Don't play with misidentifying poison ivy, many folks suffer badly even to the point of being hospitalised.
Chat chat too much
Seymore say more
Actually……it is well established that in fact you can really and truly and even literally over emphasize the word “actually”. (Shhhhh……..!!!)
Turkeys are beautiful big brides
Yes I saw her!
next time shake them down into a sheet
Coloniies are split Into hives You sew Dumm
Dumm
Why?
Nothing like the girls moving into your swarm trap
Im sorry but if bees start making rabid squirrel noises im running 😅
Pretty scary tbh
This happened in my moms backyard! The sound is amazing!
That’s awesome ❤
Beautiful
I just got this one to use for our first full harvest. Previously we have only taken a few frames and did crushing method. I'm hoping to preserve comb in frames now.
All yours now 🎉🎉4
Beautiful
Thanks for sharing. this channel deserves way more views than what it gets.
Thanks! I’m having fun at least!
How can you tell what kind of honey is which? Like, sourwood etc.
You have to become a botanist of your local area. Put on supers when the right flowers are blooming. Sourwood only grows in any great abundance in the mountains of ga, Tn, and Nc, so can only get sourwood here
Hi, I used to watch your channel years ago, but stopped when I had to give up beekeeping. I'm back at beekeeping again this year, so I'm back to watching videos again too, wow, you're channel really took off. Anyway I was thinking a bee vac would have worked wonderfully on that catch.
Thanks for finding me again! Just slow and steady on the channel, and I didn’t make a video for about a year and a half, but missed it, so I’m back. Yes a bee vacuum is a great idea! I’ve had a few friends make them over the years, might have to make one!
