Lovely video. Thanks for sharing this Ian. To you it might be boring but too the public it's fascinating, to other beekeepers it's like, wow, One day!!! You got the music just right!! 😁👍🍾🅰️+ 💯
I can't get enough of these videos. They are educational and more importantly motivational. I am in the process of finishing up harvesting and starting to bulk feed in preparation for winter. This will be my first year overwintering in single broods. Hopefully it works out.
Just incredible. There was a shifty looking man eating the produce at the beginning, though. Watch him! 😄 Just amazing how the other half live: slightly different to my 12 frame hand crank extractor. 🤣
Mate, Carrie is an absolute machine, she's an all-rounder, and seems to excell at every stage of beekeeping. She is perfect for your operation. How did you even find her? I reckon you are lucky to have such an experienced and devoted beekeeper, and it shows your wisdom as a business owner and beekeeper in general.
Hi Ian, 3rd year Manitoba beekeeper here. You mentioned some honey starting to get solid in some of your frames same thing happened to me. Do you do anything to the frame or the bees fix it next year?
Finally we see the honey house nice one , you had plastic liners in the 44 gallon drums before what happen ? And last but not least did you have a good year making honey for you said Trump might stuff things up be interested to know . Thanks for ALL the videos very much enjoy .
So if you have 1200 hives that's crazy math 9 frame boxes each frame fully drawn comb it's crazy to think how you got to that point alone having that many frames fully drawn comb which begs to ask how long does a frame last you a full drawing comb and are you constantly working at having the Bees draw Newcomb?
Would you save more money by shipping your honey in larger totes rather than 55 gallon drums. Also do you ever sell your honey direct to the public. I would purchase some if you did. Cheers
Honestly curious why the hair net? How come he has one but she does not? Whats the point of wearing a hair net and not something to cover those hairy arms? lol just curious. Anyhow keep up the great videos!
