| Video Discription | This year has been difficult and strange in many ways. The weather was a bit strange back in the winter and spring and the honey flow has been mediocre at best, but this long hove has been a good story during this tough year of beekeeping. It's been a fun experiment for sure. In July of last year Greg Burns brought some of his Nature's Image Farm queens down here to Southeast Alabama and they were introduced into some of my colonies. Then in October Rickey Roark (horizontalbees.com) and his wife Ruth delivered a beautiful Long Hive all the way from North Carolina. We put a small nuc of bees from with one of Greg's "Pepto Pink" queens into the Long Hive. I nursed them along all thru the winter and into spring, wondering if they would survive. Greg assured me that they would be ok even though they dwindled down to a very small cluster size. Sure enough, when the tie was right, the colony exploded! It really has been something to behold. It has been a lot of fun utilizing Greg's genetics in Rickey's hive. I respect both men greatly. Enjoy!

Here we discuss apis mellifera, aka the honeybee. We give people a look into our sideliner beekeeping operation. We share successes and failures. We show how we feed bees and treat bees for pests, such as varroa mites, small hive beetles and others. I am not a treatment free beekeeper though at one time I thought I wanted to be. We also discus things that are important to us that I think apply to beginning beekeepers and more seasoned beekeepers alike. We also show the beekeeping techniques we use to manage the bees and harvest our honey and sell our honey. We talk about beekeeping equipment and tools. At times we also catch swarms of bees and have even done a few cutouts, though I usually leave that for the professionals. This is not Beekeeping 101, though hopefully the information here is useful. As my good friend @Mike Barry says, this is not a necessarily a "how to" channel. It's a "how I do" channel. I hope you will continue to join us as we continue to perform hive inspections, discuss important matters in the beekeeping world, meet other beekeepers, perform splits, grow our operation and just continue down the path of this wonderful beekeeping adventure. Let's GO!!! Ho43BUp48fk |
