Cracking hives at -1……. Going to have to get you signed up with Hive crackers anonymous to work on your addiction! LOL
Just a observation from 1.000 miles away looks like they did better on your recipe vs the store bought sub .
What thickness syrup can you feed in those temperatures? Will they take 1:1 or is it more like prosweet (honey thickness)
I cant imagine living there. I dont like the cold, so would not unless I had to.
Is it feasible to add protein to the syrup?
📓 IAN STEPPLER TIP NUMBER 296: MAKE SURE PATTIES ARE OVER THE CLUSTER.. IN OTHER WORDS MATCH FUEL SOURCE LOCATIONS. ✅
I believe you are suppose to put the silver coating of the bubbly facing down so it reflects the heat back into the hive.
Wow that sucks Ian! I could hear the BlueJays complaining about it too at the beginning of the video. Sending you warming/ sunny vibes and some good season prayers! Bees clinging on those buckets! The carburetor is pulling fuel… good sign!
Will someone please give him a hug…..wow…the bees are not going to "dwindle" to death
IF i walked around cracking lids like that, my bees would be up on me something fierce! haha looking good, even in the cold.
Careful what you for. !! This spring for me has been a nectar nite mare! Unexpected flow backfilling nucs faster than I can get queens mated .10 days of pulling frames food just try see if have laying queen . Never thought I’d complain about nectar but I’m complaining!!
When you use the thermal checking for dead outs, you should thumbtack 📌 the dead ones with red and the big ones green and mediums yellow.
Greetings from down under. Last spring was an overcast affair with little sunlight, just dank overcast. There were heaps of blossoms on the trees, with little to no honey, the whole season continued the same way until mid summer when we got a few days of sunshine, but the damage was already done and the frames were devoid of any honey so this year was a summer of feeding 1/1 watered down old crystalline honey back to the bees, and not a single frame of honey for me. I hope that your season will be better than mine………….keep smiling
Real beekeepers do it in the snow lol
Just when you think you got it figured out, eh. I used the global wide patties. They are 1.5 lbs each. I fed 4.5lbs from March 13 to April 13. Every night went below freezing. Only a few colonies ended up with spotted brood from chilling. I put one round of patties on in a hail storm that might have had something to do with it.
Hopefully you will get the snow. That will act as an insulator.
Hello from Greece. Here in Greece we say that GOD gives us so many as we can pull up.
You can manage everything. Sorry for my English.
Ian you better get Carrie a snow brush for her beekeeping toolbox
Ian says that he shouldn't do it, and goes on to crack open half the yard. Classic do as I say not as I do lesson here.
держитесь
I just got back to stonewall from Vancouver. This is just silly.
this is exactly why artificially feeding to encourage early brood rearing can be detrimental in Northern climates. almost like bees know what they are doing. I hope everything works out!
Couldn't help yourself but crack more hives. Love it.
Darned snow.
