I Killed My Bees - I accidentally sealed my beehive for a week in the HOT 111F Georgia sun.

If you are considering installing a sustainable or edible landscape or becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeping as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first years of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome the 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.
This video is not one I wanted to release but felt it necessary. I am a new beekeeper and will show my failures as well as successes. This is a huge failure, I mean a HUGE FAIL! I accidentally added two entrance reducers to my Orange hive when I was honey harvesting and effectively sealed my hive. This left the hive to bake in the Georgia sun for seven days with internal hive temperatures running over 111F. This was a terrible mistake which almost cost me the hive. The only thing that saved the hive was the exhaust fans which managed to vent the hive a little even though the screened bottom board was blocked with 2 inches of dead bees. I am feeling bad but feel like I need to show this video. Maybe it will prevent someone from making the same mistake or doing something equally as dumb.
Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
