Another good video. Your bee yards look really nice. Looks like you are gonna have a lot of supers to pull. Up here in Illinois our flow is still going on. White clover is everywhere and sumac is blooming although I don't see bees on it. Heck I don't see them on the clover much but you can bet they are. Every couple of days I take an empty honey bucket with a little honey left in the bottom and set it out in the morning and leave it until evening. So far the bees could careless if its there. When the flow stops they will swarm it. Do you know if bees make honey from the elderberry blooms. We have them blooming everywhere you look and they smell really sweet.

I hear that they will get Elderberry nectar but I have never seen bees on it here. We always have better plants blooming at the same time

Hard but rewarding. First year producing honey sold bees only for the past twenty years. How many suppers should I add to one deap box of bees if I have three weeks of main flow just starting next week.
@ChiltonBeeCompany
@ChiltonBeeCompany 2 месяца назад
David, it depends. I can only check out each yard every couple weeks at the earliest. So i start out with two supers, unless they are a weaker hive. Then add as needed

@@ChiltonBeeCompany sweet thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking I might only get one super in total with each one full of bees brood etc. I have drawn suppers as I got the bees from an older beekeeper and they were all living in the supers. So this year I moved them over into deeps and going to put the supers plus brood and some honey on top of the deeps now that they have most of the deeps drawn out. Basically I will have them all more or less equalised out to one deep box covered in bees brood honey. In your experience a hive like that could it fill two supers in a good flow or is it asking to much of the bees. Will add two as you said to allow for room for the nectar before it is concentrated. Cheers bud

@davidmaloney2724 if your flow is just starting, a strong deep box full of bees and brood should fill a at least 4 or 5 supers if they are already drawn out

@davidmaloney2724 of course it depends on the flows you have in your area. I'm responding by my experiences here

I’m up here east of Birmingham just off I20 in the Leeds /Moody area and the flow seems to be pretty slow. Just wanted to know if you thought the momosa tree puts off enough nectar to make a flow? That is the only bloom that I’m seeing here. Thank You Kenny A.

Hey Kenny. Yes, Mimosa will make a honey crop. This year was actually a really good year it down here

Thanks for the reply Brad, I have had bees for about 10 years now. Nice to have a RU-vidr in my area that I can follow. I started a RU-vid channel myself last year but gave up after about 15 or so videos, when my channel didn’t grow. My channel is GunRunner Gundogs & Gamebirds, no new videos for several months now. Maybe I should do some bee videos? LOL Thanks for the feedback brother! Maybe we can talk sometime, take care brother! Kenny Armstrong
