I loved what you had to say, you don't talk to much Kamon. I can't get over how many blooms the buckwheat have. Wow! I am so impressed. I have been looking at what kind of flowers, bushes and trees can be planted to help the beekeeper feed his bees by planting things that can really help for all the different times of the season. Suggestion: Why not put on a show that gives your followers a chance to see what kind of plants can help the honey bees the best in the spring, mid summer, late summer and early fall. The buckwheat you just showed is fantastic. I saw a small patch of Wrinkleleaf Goldenrod that must have had a thousand honey bees on it. It was unbelievable how alive the plants seemed to be. A lady told me the other day that there are over 21 species of goldenrod that grow here in Kentucky alone. Trees: Basswood, and Sourwood are mid July to early August blooming trees that can produce up to 1,500 lbs of nectar per acre. Black Locus, Vitex which are early spring bloomers Bushes: Russian Sage, Dark Knight, Blue Mist Spirea - late blooming Crape or Crepe Myrtle - mid to late summer Flowers: White clover, yellow clover and dutch white clover. Just to name a few that I have recently learned about. Maybe you could get your wife to do this and give us a presentation that would far exceed what you could do. Hahaha! Just kidding though it would be nice to finally meet her. How to use a "plant rooting devise" to increase your plants for free. Just my thoughts.

@@kamonreynolds Thank you Kamon, I am glad I didn't put you off trying the buckwheat, honey. Yes, some say "farmyard " when they smell it but to be honest, it does taste quite nice (not my favourite personally) when it's eaten. Buckwheat is an amazing crop in terms of quick growth and in terms of its uniqueness. it is very strong for sure. my 19 Kilos i harvested. lots have grown here over the summer. Like sunflowers, it can be a complete lottery if you get nectar or not because of the weather (temp and rain). I just catch up on your videos over the winter, like you, I am still really busy.

Kamon....flower biology is more amazing than you might think. Native flowers often stage their nectar production so that they produce it during a time of day that the other flowers are not producing. If you were to sample the flowers in your area for their peak nectar production, both the time of year and time of day would see hardly any overlap with other flowers in the area. Instead of competing for the same pollinators, native flowers work in harmony with each other.

Deer took out my buckwheat at my dads house right about the time bees were done with it . i replanted it then frost took it out .. Chicory is great fall pollen source my bees hit that in the morning then goldenrod in the afternoon .. Chicory bloom just closes it up in the afternoon like thats enough bees .. Amazing world to watch most people have no idea .. People plant chicory for deer as well .. It grows just wild everywhere around here mostly road sides..its a long lasting pollen source must go a month .

I have food plots of clover, for deer and bees. I planted buckwheat this month...maybe a bit early but I fear the deer will find it and eat it all. I typically plant turnips yearly also for deer. I leave it until spring and the turnips grow tall again with tons of yellow flowers that the bees love. that was a beautiful field Kamon! I see bees on large areas of asters I plant in fall too. love the sound of the bees working plants! they truly are amazing creatures.

We thought we'd plant Buckwheat in our field for our bees too. Since we never planted it before we thought to try 25 lbs first. It was coming up nice and then the deer ate the tops off every single sprout coming up. Ugh!! I think next year we'll have to plant 200 lbs and do all of our fields. Surely the deer won't be able to eat all that? Enjoy all your videos Kamon. I'm always learning something new!

@kamonreynolds
@kamonreynolds 4 года назад
Hey Don they only work it early in the morning till noonish. I am going to tray to harvest perhaps a barrel of fall honey IF I can. The colonies need to fill up their second deep and then if they make a medium super I will take it. Likely I could take a handful of drums if I stripped my bees of fall honey. I would like to take a drum this year without dipping into what they need. Buckwheat does well here from Planting in early May to Now. In Bama I am sure you could get a whole month of growing time or more.

@donbearden1953 4 года назад
Kamon, my wife’s dad planted some 2 years ago near Corbin, KY and he was disappointed because his bees wouldn’t work it, the hives were about 50 yards away but he planted in early spring and I told him then they were working something they liked better. I believe bees are like you and I, we eat what we like not everything that’s available! If green beans and Brussel sprouts are cooked and on the table I will eat the green beans or something else because I’m not eating NO Brussel sprouts never unless I’m starving and can’t get something else and the bees will take the pollen and nectar they like the best of what’s available.

@@kamonreynolds I believe this method saves natural resources from any type plant: goldenrod, wild sunflowers\sunflowers, etc. In any season collect pollens from plants when pollinators go off or right before. When one bales the plants, I think baling keeps them somewhat fresh for prolonged periods of time. In olden days in old countries, farmers & ranchers. bound up cuttings from certain trees to keep them green (the branches). It preserved them so when winter came on they fed it to their cattle to tie them over.

Have you heard of the Mighty Mite heat treatment? pdnbeekeepers.org/mightymite/ Apparently, the varroa might dies at 106 degrees F, but bees can tolerate much higher temperatures. So, the theory is to heat the brood chamber to 106 and hold it there for about 2 hours. This kills the mights on the bees AND in any capped brood - but it does not injure the brood or the queen. There are several products that do this, one uses solar power, but the hives are really expensive. This is a plate that slides in under the brood box. I've been watching your videos and your fight against the varroa mite, and when this popped up, it caught my interest. 3 treatments per year are recommended. I have read that there is some worry that the heat will harm the queen, but apparently the testing that was done on queens with regard to temperature had to do with shipping them, not within the hive. According to what I read, the queens aren't bothered by the heat treatment, and this method of mite control is gaining a wide audience. I also saw something about a Bee Gym - a small device that goes into the hive that the bees use to groom themselves. The theory is that they will groom the mites off of their abdomen. I saw a video, and the bees seem to enjoy the gym.... Maybe a combination of the two.... Anyway, I thought you might be interested. I'd be interested in your thoughts. Could be total bunk, but.....
