Five Ways To STOP Your Bees DYING In Winter 

Insulation is key especially in cold countries like Canada. I built top insulation covers that double as winter feeders using removable inserts totaling over R-60. As for the sides I use a regular hive winter blanket. It's proven very effective :)

With treating mid August and leaving a lot of honey guess that's why you only need a smaller amount of syrup to get them to weight

Great advice 👏👏 New beekeepers need to start hefting their hives as they go into winter so they start to know how heavy hives are, then in spring they will really notice if a hive is suddenly much lighter and needs feeding 👍👍🇬🇧

Lawrence, what is the earliest time this year I could get a Buckfast queen from you ?

Would you also do oxalic acid trickle treatment ?

New hive new frames mate put a swarm in how long should I feed for it June 29 they seem to be happy and bringing back loads of pollen I can . I have been feeding them for the last few days regards Ben

Great videos. But I find it hard to keep track of the months….I’m in the northern hemisphere and you’re south so out months are flipped🤓

My Smith hive was on the verge of starving as had fondant above crown board this year, as on a previous year it was directly on the frames but started to run covering the bees. So any tips on how to avoid either issue....
