The Neglected Bee Yard | I spent all summer at the farm and left these girls on auto pilot.
I spent all summer at the farm and left the home yard on auto-pilot. These hives have been neglected all season and I have no idea what I'll find in the hives. I hope they all survived. I have to do better at managing my home apiary.

Splitting beehives using the Demaree method | Trying something new this year.
This year I am going to try to accomplish two goals by using a swarm control method called the Demaree method. Goal one is to prevent the hives from swarming and goal two is to produce a massive honey harvest. Unlike previous seasons when I split off half of the colony into a separate box; this year I will try to trick the bees into staying put. The more bees in the box, the more nectar collected, the more honey to harvest. Let's hope it all works out.

I found something I didn't know was lost in the bee yard.
Over the past week I have been visiting the bee yard at the farm to prep the hives for their upcoming splits. I did not take the cameras but I did take my son. We worked for several hours and I found something I didn't know was missing.

CHAOS in the Bee Yard. Queen-less Hives and Laying Workers #beekeeping
This was supposed to be a quick video to inspect the rest of the beehives at the farm and prepare for splits. After inspecting the first hive all plans went out the window. Today we will encounter our first queen-less and laying worker hives of 2024. I hope I have taken the correct actions to kick start the offending hives. Splits need to be done and the hives have to be in order first.

About this video:Beekeeping in 13F weather. Winter beekeeping
Today we will be checking on the bees in both bee yards to see if they are still alive after temps in the low teens.
About this Channel:
I hope you enjoy beekeeping and this video. If you are interested in becoming a beekeeper or experience backyard beekeeping for yourself have a look at some of the videos on this beekeeping channel as well as videos from beekeeping creators I have listed below.
Although this beekeeping channel is primarily about beekeeping I am also a quasi pepper who believes in becoming self-sufficient. With that in mind, I have started a garden, planted fruit trees, replaced the hedges in front of my house with blueberry bushes, and have recently built a chicken coop. In short, I will share a lot more than beekeeping on this channel.
