Thank you Emily. Keep it up. It's a good thing hearing people explain what they do and their systems of beekeeping. And as Beeks know, there are a thousand ways to raise bees. The biggest problem I found is there are so many opinions and contradictions. I listen to them all and then spend time researching what I was told to do. In a way it's mostly reliant of our own common sense. Sooo many wives tales to sort through. Common sense and keep it easy is my formula. And slow and steady. I sit every day with my bees and coffee in hand and watch them. I try to learn from them. They are the best teachers. And interaction with other Beeks.

@beefitbeekeeping 7 месяцев назад

It sounds like you are on the exact right path with that. There is so much information out there, some can be super misleading! I feel as beeks we have our own intuition with our bees. We begin to be able to feel our bees and know what they need. I always try to rely on that. Although some times the hustle and bustle of the year can get loaded than my inner intuition….i hope to slow down and listen to it more going into this next year. Thank you for following along and being a part of the BeeFit family ☺️♥️

I was taught to slightly tip the hive so the condensation rolls down one side and they can drink it. (Plus it doesnt fall on them)

@robertcampbell943 9 месяцев назад

Hi Emily, you are an excellent commentator. You should do more. Thanks for your podcast and we hope for many more with quality beekeeping guests. Good luck!🐝

@beefitbeekeeping 9 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you! Trying my best to put on a new hat and see how it fits 😘

@thomasbridgeman5815 9 месяцев назад

I use a mini hand vacuum for hive beetles

@sharonparsons8997 9 месяцев назад

Wow ,what fun! I enjoyed listening to you and your guest explore beekeeping. His comments about just watching your bees struck home for me as well as monitoring their winter progress through stores. The year is off already and my girls are eating like crazy, I’ll be dropping in more fondant soon!

@arnoldfarmsbeesandhoney 8 месяцев назад

If you set your 6 frame "nuc" up the right way. With a thin divider and a double entrance bottom board. They can then double as a double 3 frame mating nuc. Then you can over winter in 6 frames. If you have some and can't get rid of your 6 frame equipment sir. I'll take them and get them out of your way.

@JamesLeesBees 9 месяцев назад

No open bottoms. Solid bottom boards only. The screened bottom isn't a deal breaker, but if you use them slide in the board.

I lived in flat Rock Michigan for 6 years, worked at US Silica. in Rockwood.

Good Morning Emily and Casey, Started beekeeping in my 74th year as a hobby. Have been watching your RU-vid videos, and re-learning the craft from childhood. Because I have some health issues, I'm thinking to use Layens Hives. Have you used a Layens Hive? Any suggestions, and I'm in Traverse City.

@lloydhillier7981 9 месяцев назад

Can you please give us the full name of this guy? Also the Steven he referenced about wintering hives. Thanks

@beefitbeekeeping 9 месяцев назад

Oops! Thank you for this! I just added Ryan’s Facebook page in the description and his full name. I’m searching for Steven the beekeeper he mentioned

Build some hive beetle larvae traps and mount them under your hive entrance to catch them before they drop to the ground. Beats destroying your soil with salt and chemicals. Made with 4 pieces of wood (2 a little wider than the hive the other 2 about 3”) screwed together with a window screen bottom (for rain to pass) and line the inside (wood) walls with sandpaper. The larvae can’t climb sandpaper. They can climb wood and escape. He’s saying he can’t lift hives. He needs to go to horizontal long Langstroth hives. I like them much better than conventional Langstroth hives and they’re twice the insulation thickness being made with 2x lumber.

@PixieParamedic 9 месяцев назад

Can you send me the plans for making those?

@jamesbarron1202 8 месяцев назад

@@PixieParamedic i replied back 3 weeks ago and it got deleted. I guess because I mentioned the website. Just look up SHB sandpaper trap on the internet. It’s the most simple trap you could make. 4 walls with their inside walls lined sandpaper and window screen for the bottom so water won’t get trapped inside. They fall in and they can’t climb the sandpaper.
