Closing down hives down from three story to double story for winter. We have left them with plenty of honey to ensure good nutrition through winter. This will hopefully result in healthy honeybees in spring.
Love your videos, little confused by 2 things, 1, you use a combination of single hive and pallet system, would like to here you explanation on how you marry the 2 together. 2, using emlocks/ straps on those hives? I understand they key together? I’ll take a guess and assume the lids may be inclined to blow off.
If you put a sheet of clear plastic on the top box, they won't build all that comb onto your roof. I use clear plastic sheet that I get from a builders merchant. It comes in 30m * 2m rolls so it does quite a few covers.
That only happens in the never-never country. If you seclude the bees only in the box below they swarm and go cold in winter. The laying bees, they need those small boxes 2. And the plastic so that the boxes do not stick what? This seller is only interested in putting their boxes outdoors, without further ado. To spoil and buy more.
you're throwing the Propolis on the ground, do you know how much it's cost ? one kilogram for 1 thousand Euro , you're throwing a treasure. use your mind think a bit.
