Hello everyone. My name is Billy Donald. Welcome to Donald Farm, where we will show you the enjoyable and challenging hobby of beekeeping in Northwest Florida. My wife, Shelley, and I started beekeeping 4 years ago on our small 20 acre farm. The first few years were a struggle as we learned the hows and whys, ins and outs of beekeeping. Our aim is to keep you from making the same mistakes we have. Please subscribe to our channel and leave us a comment on what you may want to see. Thank you for checking out our channel.
Do you give the bees 1:1 sugar water in the summer? We are in North Texas, it's hot, and since we are just getting started we don't know what's correct? TY
I don’t unless they get low on honey. In northwest Florida something is nearly always blooming. May not be enough to make honey but usually sustains the hive.
📃 and your Lord has inspired bees to build dwellings in the mountains and in the trees and in wath they erect , so follow humbly the paths of your Lord and eat of all the fruits from their bellies comes a drink of various colors , in which, , there is healing for people , indeed , a sign for the people who they reflect 📃
Good deal. They mostly work in my experience. I was surprised when two of three of mine failed, but I also added small colonies to huge queenless colonies with tons of field bees.
Good plan best time of the season to do it, you don't loose BeePower that way.👍Blessed Days... I'd do the same thing. I find that if I hold the frame in the middle with 1 hand good and solid and then hit the back of my hand hard with my other palm I can shake the bees off. You are right you have to take a soft hand to those foundationless frames some times.
I ain’t the only one that grunts!!😂😂. I’ve found no difference in premier or acorn when a flow is on. Rite cell either. What in the world do you have on the top of your head? They were flat out after the top of your head. That camera caught it really well😂
