Hey Randy. A good Eli Wallach tribute. LOL All the spaghetti western music is highly copyrighted. So none of that! It's 97 here today. I'm ready for Fall Y'all. I'll see you in Louisville. Got my tickets and hotel and flights. I might decide to drive though. Take care.

@nancynolton6079 5 дней назад

There you are making sure you are queenright and I'm up here doing final winter preparations and last feeding of the year! Yellow jackets are vicious this year and inspection robbing is worse I've ever seen so since everyone is queen right and in the bottom box (with two supers of honey/syrup above) I'm staying out of the hives! Lack of rains for months is probably the cause of all the robbing and escalated presence of yellow jackets, baldfaced and European hornets everyone looking for something to eat and I doubt the goldenrod and asters have much nectar in them due to lack of rain!

@Bowhunters6go8xz6x 5 дней назад

Yep, bad year for wasps, etc.

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

It's terrible dry here too. Bees are super defensive and any frames sitting out during an inspection get attacked. That shot at the very beginning was some burr comb from the tops of the frames where I split that hive in two and there was some small traces of honey on it and they went nuts over it. There's lots of yellow jackets patrolling here as well as the dragon flies. We have a chance of rain tomorrow, hopefully we get some.

@nancynolton6079 4 дня назад

@@JeromeBeeFarm The promised rain today disappeared before it even made it to the ground...maybe next weeks promise will be more eventful. Gave the bees the last of the syrup and prosweet I had on hand and dang if the hives still don't feel as heavy as a box of rocks (hives need two medium supers honey/capped syrup up here). Sugar on the agenda after services tomorrow! I walk out the door and those yellow jackets start showing up and following me! Wish I knew where the nests were.

@JeromeBeeFarm 4 дня назад

The cheapest sugar I get is now $20 for the 25lb bags. Just bought 100 lbs yesterday. I’ve never tried the pro sweet. It seems so expensive. 60% chance of rain here tomorrow. Good luck!

Yah, three waxmouth hives wrecked is enough. Way more than normal for you. Nice parade and pics. Thanks Darren.

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Hey Russell. Yeah, man, I had more than my share of those this year. That parade and celebration isn't what it used to be. It used to be an all day affair and the rodeo in the evening. Not near the bands show up, no shriners this year, no antique tractors. People used to dress up in the period and it was really cool. It's fun to go and see my classmates though. Last year was my 40th reunion - those pics with my classmates were from last year.

@nancynolton6079 5 дней назад

I see the local corvette club participates in the parade too. Wonderful pics!

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Hey Nancy. Yeah, the football royalty all ride in some type of convertibles. I enjoy the old cars and tractors, but there weren't many old cars this year and no tractors at all. I was disappointed. It was a pretty small parade this year.

@Bowhunters6go8xz6x 5 дней назад

Awesome videos (Bees and Parade) Darren ! Must be a Ditch Witch factory down there. LOL

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Thanks Bowhunters. Yeah the one and only Ditch Witch factory is in Perry Oklahoma. I was third generation to work there. My dad was one of the first employees back when they had around 25 total. I worked summers there in high school and in I to college. I could have worked there as an engineer, but got on with FAA and it’s been a wonderful career. My dad and grandfather both retired from there. My dad was head of the machine shop.

@Manuherikiabeekeeping 5 дней назад

Hi from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋 man you got such a great looking apairy with the tree's in the back and nice and open front😃 bummer about the wax moth 😬 but it'll come right, it is ghastly though when you find it. Interesting clips at the end looks like everyone had fun. Spring has finally decided she better do some work and the dynamite willows are finally producing pollen so that's good to see after the rough start and snowstorm we had, queens are laying up slabs now so plenty of bee's soon👍👋

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Hey Manuherika. Thanks, I do like those trees in the summer so I can work in the shade. Curious if you have those Wax Moths in NZ? I really like the Ceracell products from NZ. Thomas over there is very generous and sends me a lot of products to try out. That's cool that we're winding down our season and yours is just starting. Hope you have a successful one. Thanks for the long distance visit! Take care.

@Manuherikiabeekeeping 4 дня назад

@@JeromeBeeFarm yeah we have blasted wax moths alright 😅 although they aren't really a big problem in central Otago because our climate is dryer than the rest of New Zealand, we're as far inland in NZ as you can get, about 200 km away from both coasts. Ceracell is great, I love their stuff 👍 bumpy start to spring with the snowstorm but the first willow catkins are out, gorse is still going strong, fruit trees are blossoming and diverse pollen is really streaming in the doors now with warmer weather. Moved capped brood up and gave empty comb for queens downstairs and they will really skyrocket now until we hit the pollen pause in a couple of weeks before the poplar catkins ramp up ( we get about a ten day gap with little pollen as the willow and tree blossom drops off before the poplar pollen comes on. I'll put Patty's in just in case we get a Antarctic storm so brood production doesn't slow for the thyme nectar flow which starts third week of October 👍😁

@JeromeBeeFarm 3 дня назад

Sounds like you are very in tune to your weather conditions and pollen/nectar timing. I go by the red buds here. Wheen red buds bloom, supers go on, and keep an eye on the hive weight prior for starvation. I got caught last year after supers went on with starvation issues, which is the first I've ever seen that in my 13 years beekeeping. It was a crazy year. This year was just as crazy as being an outstanding year, everything lined up perfectly, Rain, Wind, Temperature, etc.

@JeromeBeeFarm 4 дня назад

Hey Cathy, yeah, that was a while ago, 1893. That part of my family history is really interesting and that's a great story about Mansfield riding the train to Oklahoma to borrow his brother in law's horse Tag. The train station in Missouri was at Chillicothe and that's the home town of Walt Disney. Mansfield's dad's name was Orin Jerome and he was killed standing on his porch with another man in Linneus Missouri - shot by confederate bushwackers, that were a band that was with Quantril's Rangers (The Confederates that went to Kansas and murdered everyone in Lawrence Kansas) Orin fought in the Black Hawk war and moved west from Connecticut and farmed land on what is now Chigago. He was the first man to drive a waggon into Oshkosh WI, and then he settled in Missouri. I've found the house that Orrin was born in and the grave site of his mother and father, and then two more generations back from there in CT and Massachusets.

Ya pass all your family history on down the line for others to enjoy an to add to an to be proud of . Thanks

@kathyhathaway8823 5 дней назад

Sure glad you found that one an got it fixed . I am going to do some major changing on my colonies for next year. I have always always run a deep an a medium brood setup . Well I need more medium honey supers so I do not have to purchase any more right now I will use all the medium brood and change them into supers but I have been purchasing deeps an going to go with two deep brood setup . I really like the medium brood BUT IT IS JUST NOT PRACTICAL AT ALL . If I need a brood frame somewhere most of the time I do not have what I need so this will fix all that problem by having double deep an most of the time it was when I was needing to do a split or when I had a swarm. The only problem I see is when I need to find the queen I will have two boxes to look thru . I found a new weather app an by it it is showing us here in NC it may be bad this winter . Just have to wait an see but just have to be ready if it is . Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Hi Kathy. OkieRob used to do something similar and for a time he ran mediums and some 8 frames. I think he did this to cut down on the weight he had to lift. He had a lot of swarming issues. I've always used this method of 2 deeps, and recently I've been running some singles with no problems. When there's two deeps, the queen is in the top about 80% of the time. If I don't find her, that's ok, I just keep looking until I see brood. I hope it's not a bad winter. This year was really good here.

@kathyhathaway8823 4 дня назад

@@JeromeBeeFarm ya the weight is the biggest factor in why I run the 8’s but on the brood it is not a problem. The problem I have on the deep an the medium brood is every single time I need a frame to fix a problem on something I can never find the size frame I need without going into every colony in the yard it seems like. Say if I need a deep it may take looking an a few colonies to get enough deeps to say to do a split or whatever. But I do run all Mediums 8’s on all my supers. On that weather most of the time I have been watching Ryan Hall an he is really good but I just found “Direct weather “an he is just predicting his winter forecast for us in the east cost it looks like colder wetter an more snow . We do not get real bad winters here but we are due for a bad one . Both of them are on RU-vid an they go deep into telling the weather. Thanks

@JeromeBeeFarm 3 дня назад

Yeah, I can see the hassle of trying to find a medium brood frame, and/or a deep brood frame. Now you will have brood cocoons in your mediums that you intend to use for honey I assume. Wax moths love that stuff that's had the brood in it. Be sure you protect those like that.

@kathyhathaway8823 2 дня назад

@@JeromeBeeFarm well I use wax foundation so I will strip them all down an I am going to try some more plastic foundation in all the ones I am changing over but thanks for the reminder. Thanks

@mwz321 3 дня назад

I've had some of the wax moth issues this year after bad robbing during a late harvest. I'm using the Bee Smart Ultimate Robbing Screen now and it appears to have stopped the wax moths and robbers enough to let the hive fight off the moth larvae. I'm sure they are queenless yet moth larvae are not winning the day. I tried to requeen them without luck. I plan to put on robbing screens before harvesting in the future to avoid this issue. Any truth to robbers killing the queen during robbing? It appears that I lost two queens during robbing this year.

@JeromeBeeFarm 2 дня назад

Not a good time of year to be queenless. If you are sure they are queenless, Best combine your boxes onto strong hives to protect your comb, or combine with smaller queen right hives. I haven’t seen robbers kill queens, but the remaining bees and queen will abscond if it gets cleaned out.

@dcsblessedbees 5 дней назад

Those bees seem a tad riled up Darren.

@JeromeBeeFarm 5 дней назад

Hey DC. It's that time of year. Always be ready.

@benjamindejonge3624 День назад

Some people like to re queen in September to have a good production hive in spring is that true?

@JeromeBeeFarm День назад

Fall requeening is a practice, but you have to have a good source of well mated queens. People that do this usually are large scale and have resources to bulk buy queens or they produce them themselves. There’s not a lot of retail queens available to hobbyists this time of year. They are all sold out.
