This video shows how the honeybees will clean your extraction equipment for you. Fascinating

This was my first bee colony collapse. It Hurts like hell at first. Then it becomes about the money..... $125 down the drain. The next year I trapped two new colony's so we will continue to raise the little rascals

I heard a long time ago that the meaner the honeybees are the more honey they will produce. If that is a correct statement, we should get a lot of honey this year, this is the meanest I hive I have delt with so far.... Let the games begin Here's a video on Bee swarm https://rumble.com/v16fi91-honey-bees-the-great-escape.html?playlist_id=RXT3bq9-5zw

Cleaning the garlic had to be postponed...... Honeybees are trying to reclaim their wax frames that we recently removed honey from

Looks like the girls are ready to start their Spring. What is blooming yellow pollen here in N.C. So early in the year? A little help from friends would be nice.

A quick look in on the Beehives. On the 19th of March two new packages of Bees will arrive. Make sure to be here for the install into the hives

Both of the new hives are doing very well. Two days from today will check on the Queen Are you having fun yet LOL

This video will show you the difference in the two hives. On this hive each time you add a honey super the hive gets taller. Eventually it will be taller than you and the box's will weigh fifty pounds or better. Thats a lot of weight for an old man

This hive is three years old. Today we will see if they need a second honey supper

Two Interesting finds in hive two, The making of burr comb and storing the sugar water in the cells

Time to look and see if the Queen Bee has been freed from the transport cage on the long hive

Bringing home, the pollen. The Bees with the long legs are the male bees. They have no stingers

Just before a big storm, the bees are busy collecting as much pollen as possible before it is washed from the plants

Honeybees Out for breath of fresh air. We will have to check the inside of this hive to be certain there is enough room, very soon

Collecting honey from the hives a little at time and storing it inside where it is cool and out of reach of the bees

Today I watched as the Honeybees left the hive and swarmed onto a nearby plum tree. The homestead came to a standstill, and it was time to catch some bees. This was a first for me.

Two hives have swarmed over the last two weeks. The race is on to make ready the new hives

Looks like the third hive is making ready to leave the nest.

Small harvest this year due to the wax moth damage. However, one and a half gallons of Honey is a nice harvest. There is still a chance for another harvest this year after the Golden Rod blooms

A short film about a pleasant surprise from the Beehives.

You know when it is time to extract honey.... End of July or first week in August.... The temp must break 90.... Let's getter done. Is it worth it?
