TBH Bee Keepers

[lovemylegacy]

Been feeding all year except during the flow. 2to1 now till the first freeze then put a candy boards. You want them to have a min of 30 to 40 lbs of honey per brood box. Keep an eye on them in early spring that’s when they starve the most. I use a small poultry feeder for emergency feeding if I find they are really low.

For the most part, I only feed in late Dec through Jan. The bees here pull pollen 12 months out of the year, so if they are pulling pollen, they should be pulling some nectar also. Correct?

If anyone would like to pull a big hive out of our eaves north of Hawley, south of Anson let me know.

Sounds like fun!

If I can't find someone they'll end up being eliminated.

There are some around there. I was hoping someone here knew who.

What are yall doing to prepare for spring?
I went through my hives the day before it snowed and then two days after the snow I lifted the lids to peek for a second.

All is well.

I'll probably stick a touch of pollen patty in each hive on valentines day.

I feed with internal frame feeders since October to be on the safe side

Another.... flow hive?
How many do you have?
I only cut a window into one of my hives so my kids can look inside but I don't even use that box anymore, it was a super.

I'm always throwing out seed or planting something
My place has tons of pollinators already so I'm good but like to look at more.
I get that "wedding tree" something fierce

Killing varroa this past weekend. The provap makes it easy rolling thru 65ish hives in an afternoon. Will do a couple more rounds while the brood pattern is still pretty small. All of my hives were really heavy with food still at 3 of my bee yards. Lots of bees and the workers were polishing the brood cells around the capped getting ready to expand as the pollen comes in. I start feeding pollen patty’s and syrup middle of February in anticipation of making splits the end of March.
