A short video with highlights from setting up a new bee yard for a customer. Hive stands, 10-frame Langstroth woodenware, and NUC colonies – delivered and setup. If you have not yet subscribed to my YouTube channel – be sure to! There will be a link in the video – near the end […] 
Varroa mites are the latest finding in the plight of our agricultural (and hobby) European Honeybees. The Varroa Destructor is known to be a vector (carrier for diseases) for several viruses, including (but NOT limited to:) SacBrood Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) Black Queen Cell Virus (BQCV) Nosema Apis Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV) Lake Sinai […] 
This short video outlines how to convert a standard frame feeder into a no-drown feeder for syrup being fed to bees. All items for the upgrade were available as scrap from my personal workshop – so no additional materials were purchased for the improvements. The only expenditure was my personal labor. Be sure to watch […] 
The homeowner noticed bees entering and exiting from the shed in the back yard the week before. Since we were still several weeks prior to our swarm season – I suspected the bees * may * have been there a bit longer than the homeowner was aware of. A nice queen was found, the bees […] Enjoy this quick video of assembling frames for honey production. Foundation will be added to the frames just prior to putting them on the hives (to keep the foundation clean until it’s time for the bees to draw comb). Enjoy! Link to my YouTube Channel for you to “like” and Subscribe to my videos: Harmony […] It’s been a while, however I found this gem of a video in the vault – that never got published. A swarm arrived at this young lady’s home the night before. Brianna was excited to learn about the bees, and had never experienced a swarm like this – she insisted on bravely scooping the bees […] It is early January 2018, and several of the overwintering nucleus colonies (NUC) are needing a protein boost since there has been no blooms for the bees to visit since late fall. Once the queen lays eggs, and the larvae hatch – they need a ready supply of protein for their growth and transformation from […] 
This video really shows more of the opening process and then the closing up of the structure afterwards. These bees have been in this space for a few months. The thermal camera was almost useless on the days I was trying to get a reading. The metal roof was hot, even on cloudy days. (I […] 
This honeybee removal was about the size of a valve-box removal. The bees had lived in the inverted decorative cauldron in the bushes since this spring. The comb was pure white (new) – and the queen had a solid laying pattern of eggs and brood. They had a decent amount of nectar in there as […] 
The City of Allen owns a golf course – and it was reported by a patron that honeybees were in a knothole of a tree on the 14th hole. The facilities manager was concerned both for the safety of their customers (the public) as well as having a humane and live removal of the honeybees […] |
