How much do you start with? Like a handful or more?

Depending on how many hives you are working. If I'm doing say six, I fill the smoker about a 1/3 and this is plenty.

As a new beekeeper, I appreciate you not only sharing the product but also how to extinguish the smoker.

I have run into wax foundation that is about an 1/8" to big and it causes the foundation to curve out. Any quicker solution than cutting it down a bit?

Best simple winter prep I've seen. Worked wonders for my hives. Awesome feeders for spring, too, BTW.

first time beek and I used this suggested method this year (2023-24) to feed my bees. I went to check today (end of Jan) after we had a few very cold days and the hive was doing well and also feeding off this sugar board. Thanks for this guide. I am over-wintering in a single 8-frame deep box and have a cluster that is about 3 to 4 frame. Hive also have 4 frames of honey.

@WellerBeeSupply
@WellerBeeSupply 6 месяцев назад
Yes, 2" deep. I use 1/2" hardware cloth for bottom so bees can pass thru easier.
@IDVDalot

Have you ever tried to just turn the wedge up on edge and use it for a starter strip that way you don't have to have popsicle sticks
@scottreese5492

Also don't stagger them in honey supers,(best in brood box).....they will build too wide and carry it inside the next one
@scottreese5492
@scottreese5492 Год назад
Fishing line is a must for deeps, and also I had to melt wax in to help hold it. I had 20 pre-built awaiting and half of them fell out. Best way to get them to build it is drop them between open brood, they built 4 in 4 days for me:)

@WellerBeeSupply
@WellerBeeSupply Год назад
Hi Jake, I make them. The paint sticks I have are about 1/8" thick, so you could probably double them.
