A duelly push cart . Crazy 🎉 cool

@jasonpowell4114 Год назад

I'll have to work tomorrow night 😢, so I'll watch the stream after church Sunday.

@daverowden-RowdyBeeFarms Год назад

Comb is King. I had several hives swarm. I caught the swarms and they are now making me comb since the swarm will kill those hives honey production. I desperately need the comb anyway. Thanks for video like always. See you on Saturday at 6:30

@jimallen1176 Год назад

I run a lot of 8 frame supers. Like you, I wax my plastic foundation. They draw comb nicely with just a little bridging. I have a Dakota Gunness chain uncapper & it works great with 8 or 9. I ran all queen excluders this year on singles & 2 story hives & it was the best ever with no brood in honey. Really enjoyed your video. Interesting about splitting before the flow to curve swarming. Looks like they packed on the honey. 👍

@donbearden1953 Год назад

K&L, great video as always. I run 9 in my 10 frame supers and feel thats best for me and run 8 in a few 8 frame boxes that I plan on doing away with in the next year.

@claudesully Год назад

I use 9 frames... makes FAT cut comb... I love it🤓🤓🤓

@brucesouthernsassapiaries8316 Год назад

I prefer running 9's for honey supers for sure! Thanks for reminding me why I don't run 8's.

@rjc20071 Год назад

I got a bunch of new foundations for my honey supers that I need to have drawn out to prepare for next year.. I started last summer and I still got a lot of new equipment is like to have ready for next year nectar flow in west central Georgia

@lenturtle7954 Год назад

8 frames are also heavy so you need to bee 🐝 gentle with them or you can snap the end of the top bar off or pull it apart

@RyanMcDonnough Год назад

Would be tough to preserve comb depth with an auto uncapped. If using a capping scratcher, hot knife, electric carving knife, etc, then preserving comb depth is possible and helps to prevent cross-combing. I might try 6-in-10 next season. 😬😅 My $0.02

Bummer, I don't think I'll be attending that live stream. That'll be my anniversary.

@kamonreynolds Год назад

Happy Anniversary early!

@jimwaldele9084 Год назад

morning to you,, question i have single broad box with 3 supers i need to add 1 more super,, where would you put the new box directly over over broad chamber or at the top of the whole hive as top box,, thanks for all the knowledge that you provide,,,

@Bri_bees Год назад

I put my drone frames in the honey supers,mainly because I am running short on frames. I wonder if the bigger cells mean more honey per frame 🤔

@apveening Год назад

Not really, less cells per frame.

@Bri_bees Год назад

@@apveening Ya but less wax too , i pan on weighing them to see. Probably no difference or very little.

@kimpearson5395 Год назад

Hey Kamon, why are you using a screen board and stacking the colonies instead of just setting one on a new bottom board?

@kamonreynolds Год назад

I did that originally due to them being a small split in April with cool weather on the way. Now they need their own stand but I am behind on my work!

@carolinacarnio5381 Год назад

Cheers from Australia! Great video as usual guys! thank you! Question: here winter has been pretty mild so far ( with low 20°C during the day and dropping to 6°C in the night ) and I've waves of nectar coming from April until end of September. My broods are exploding ( with brood and pollen) and I'm at the second harvest ( great problem to have in winter hey) and I'm giving room in the brood box( 1 frame taken from the edge and moved above the excluser) as it tents to get clogged...am I doing right?

@Jimflawless927 Год назад

Hey how is it going. Thanks for all the great post of your experiences. I have a question I been reading about cell sizes and find so many confusing sizes. What is your assessment of the proper size cell for the brood of the opening and the depth. Thanks in advance.

@bullwinkled790 Год назад

so any syrup that may have been stored in the brood box and now is moved through the excluder becomes honey. Must be that the amount of syrup becomes insignificant and does not effect the honey quality. Is that how you see it?

@kamonreynolds Год назад

There isn't much in the hive to begin with. We typically don't feed them even a month before the main flow due to the light pre flows. They burn thru it all of it in my experience. There would be a lot more chances of that with a double deep I would think. The heavy food frames go to the splits

@barkersbees Год назад

Kamon do you have a video on single brood management or know of any good ones? Or anyone else on here?

@jasonpowell4114 Год назад

How the queen from Cory doing that you got last year, they keeping up with the others? I just got 3 of his put in hives and I'm super excited about it!

@kamonreynolds Год назад

Queens from Cory are laying very good!

@apveening Год назад

Calculation error: If you take one frame out of 1,000 boxes each you have 1,000 frames, not 100 (but you will have enough frames for 111 boxes of nine frames and one frame to spare).

@reggiem1668 Год назад

I use 8 frames but uncap by hand. However, I have been getting a significant number of frames in my honey supers that have larger cells at the bottom in a half circle shape approx 6” diameter. The bees will not store honey in those cells! I assume they are drone cells. I do use an excluder but I believe they are usually the frames in the center and/or closest to the brood below. Is this normal or perhaps from using only 8 frames?

@russellkoopman3004 Год назад

I wonder if you would under super if they would do better?? They maybe leaving that area open for the queen to lay eggs into but once it is a box above they would fill that center area? I always under super and have never seen that.

@reggiem1668 Год назад

@@russellkoopman3004 I do usually put 2 on initially so I’ll give 1 a try. Thanks!

@johnolsen1192 Год назад

Once the brute is capped how many days till they emerge

@blaahster Год назад

21 days for worker brood, 24 days for drone brood and 16 days for a queen.

@johnolsen1192 Год назад

After they are capped.

@kamonreynolds Год назад

Brood is capped for 12 days so 12 days max

@sms8035 Год назад

Have you ever tried 5 frames as honey production hives?

@kamonreynolds Год назад

No I have not. It would be hard to keep them small enough if they were great bees and if you let them go full bore they would be 10-12 boxes high.

@kamonreynolds Год назад

I would be interested in seeing it done.

@jimallen1176 Год назад

They grow fast with 5 frames, but the problem is that a strong wind blows them over.

@sms8035 Год назад

I have tried this year just made a fews splits, 5 frames only one brood box for now the season just ended the next season starts in September through December, i am from Seychelles. I am wondering if i should keep them in only one brood box 5 frames or eventually have 2 5 frames as brood box what do you think?

@sms8035 Год назад

I did two years with ten frames havested honey super the size of brood box and it very hard on me back that is why i want to try 5 frames tell me what you guys think so

@plainsimple442 Год назад

I run medium honey supers with 9 frames.

@mikeries8549 Год назад

I run ten frames because I use a twenty frame extractor.

@lindahopkins4091 Год назад

How can I do a walk away split with queen cells? I don't see well and can't find the queen? Trying to stop swarming. Thank you

@jasonpowell4114 Год назад

this may help you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--vFYqZ7Ojwk.html

@russellkoopman3004 Год назад

You could split the boxes and wait a few days to see which box has the queen. Try using your phone camera to take pictures so you can blow them up and spot eggs or larvae. Just a thought. I really miss my young eyes, I could see everything - not now so much. LOL

@scotthenderson4376 Год назад

I have a single brood that I added a (honey) deep with excluder above it and move a couple frames of brood up to get them going up the excluder and give them some room in the bottom and place to put honey when the brood hatched but they wont pull out the frames in the deep boxes and started adding honey in brood box. I added a super above the honey deep box and there pulling that out ?????
