Johnny, I think your girls knows the cold is or was coming so they were packing everything in that they could get before the cold hit. Mine at my house were doing the same thing yesterday.
Looks like ya need a bigger bowl Hungry, hungry🐝's feed'em, feed'em then feed them some more. Good looking hive activity Johnny.👍 Looks like Fall chilly is here and our Winter here in the NW will right around the corner with in weeks, did you get a chance to try out any of the Apis Bioloix products, looks like I'll be waiting for Spring to give them a try. Ty Johnny for sharing your time, Blessed Days...
I love watching open feeding. Some people love it and some hate it. I think of bee lining every time I see it. I might have to try it in the spring. Looking good brother 👍God bless
What Houston said... We really enjoy watching them while open feeding. Their behavior with one another, even helping the one's outside their colonies. God has made an awesome critter for us to work with. Johnny... They all wound up on mountain dew... God bless brothers.
Springtime is better for gathering nectar to make real honey. Summer and fall feeding during dearth is a good time to open feeding after the honey harvest. No one wants honey made from sugar water.
@@sherryortiz227 but yet everyone is fine buying blended honey from all the main brands. If you really read my comment you'd notice nobody was talking about feeding in the spring, yet that's what everyone who wants to build bees does before the flow. Feed. I said I might try bee lining in the spring.
Thank you kindly Charlie for watching and commenting! It's homemade honey bee healthy. Yes, they did go crazy. I fed them about 300 yards from the hives.
Northern middle Tennessee about 4 miles west of Monterey. I've put 100k miles on the old crusier. Odometer is showing nearly a quarter million miles. She's showing her age but still makes a good bee truck! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
What all do you put in yours? I've just been doing thin sugar water since July when I pulled the capped honey combs. I have HBH but it ain't really got much of anything in it. Like I've got my own mint and lemongrass.
I like to use 1/8 tsp of apis biologix as a feed supplement mixed in per gallon of 2:1 syrup for fall feeding after the honey supers are removed. Thank you kingly for watching and commenting!
@@TennesseeMountainBees Yeah I don't have any of that stuff. Heard about it one one of the videos I've watched. Not sure if there's a homemade version of that.
Absolutely. I like to open feed in addition to giving smaller colonies homemade pollen patties over the brood nest. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
