Hive Inspection - January 12, 2020 -- First hive inspection of the new year and hive heater update.

The first beehive inspection of 2020. Who knew it would be in the middle of January. It is an unusual 65F today and the bees are all doing well. All hives have ample stores and the bees are bringing in pollen from somewhere?? Maybe it is some mid winter dandelion. The hive heaters are working surprisingly well and will be put to the test in the upcoming weeks as the cold front rolls in this week and is promising 20F temps. All four colonies are packed with young bees and the queens are laying up a storm. On average there are five full frames of capped brood in each box and even some capped drone cells. Please don't swarm in January bees.

If you are considering becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeper as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first year of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
