Folks, we have a storm moving in here in SE Louisiana, and it was supposed to skirt west of us. Now Hurricane Francine is coming toward us, so I need to tie up a few loose ends before she makes her entrance. I am going to feed a few hives and explain what and how I do it, and go into what I do, or don't do, to prepare for a hurricane. Let's get busy because the weather isn't going to wait on us.

Thanks for joining me in my bee yard here in Louisiana as I share how I maintain my beehives. My videos are not meant to be 'How To' videos, but simply me sharing my experiences in beekeeping as I learned it from my mentors, teachers, and studies.

Thanks, Mike great video. I’ve watched Bob Binnies videos on feeding couple times now. Good stuff.

Im so thankful to come across a beekeeper in the Southeast! Im waiting for my local beekeeping company to open up the list for ordering bees for Feb/March and Ill be a first time beekeeper.

Thanks for the link Mike. Glad the storm didn’t cause you a lot of issues.

I haven't had a hurricane since I started keeping bees, but I use a ratchet strap to hold the hives down to the stand.

I have that wax melter- works wonderfully. Be sure to lay paper towels on end of the shelf to catch the krud before the melted wax goes over the edge.

Good vid Mike! On my next video Ill also be talking about what I do for winter prep in my neck of the woods. Treat for mites, feed if needed and reduce space if needed. That's what I concentrate on. I'm still hoping to catch some nectar from the goldenrod and Aster but it's evading my bees right now

I use mine for all of my comb and it's awesome. I've had mine for a few years now. Thanks Mike!

Mug up Mike , from central NH where it's in the 70's and no rain in sight. good fall goldenrod and aster flow, although no rain in the forecast could stop the nectar flow. Good pollen this year as well....Hope you don't get hit...

We do about the same with feeding down the road from you. Only the smaller hives might need a little

@TracysBees8713 2 дня назад

My husband built one yesterday. Work really well solar wax melter that is.

@gunlinebees.3831 День назад

Got pollen patties built yesterday with peppermint candy and today will be 1:1 mix. I don't think we're going to have much, if any kinda fall flow in our neck of the woods. I would be nice not having to feed but... That's not the reality.

👍🏻 What size is your building where you do your extracting? Looking to buy or build me a larger one.

@MikeBarryBees 16 часов назад

It’s a 12X30. I also put a 6’ high lift across the entire top. If I were to build timber again, I’d go wider. 12’ is just a bit narrow.

@rodkirt9273 22 часа назад

Why don’t you dump the extra feeder water into a 5 gallon bucket instead of on the ground ?🤷‍♂️

@MikeBarryBees 16 часов назад

The amount is negligible as well as I don’t want to carry out a five gallon bucket. As far as dumping it in a feeder bucket, the hole is too small and would make a mess. It’s really not a lot, but with the wintergreen in it, I just like to flip it a few extra feet away.

Ratchet straps 👍🐝 just saying

@MikeBarryBees День назад

That would be forty to fifty straps…no thank you. Been thru a cat 2 with no straps and they did just fine with propolis. I do strap any of the ones that are prone to tipping off the stand, but not every stand or every hive.
