Thumbs up for the delivery driver!
Wait after the bad weather then release
No idea about the bee's themselves per se. But could you make some kind of windbreak around your hive. Leaving aside the weakened state they will have to be out in future storms.
Hope it all goes well though! 🙂
Depends on what king of frames you have. Drawn comb or naked frames. I would leave them in the pkg over night. They should be fine. The queen should have some attendants in her little cage to help her out. There is a candy plug they will feed her from if you spray the box the bees will get her some water. I get my colonies next week.
Thanks
I want a try the bumblebee! No care need for those just let them be wild.
Spray a little sugar water on them and take them into your house until the weather settles.
Nice job, wait til morning to put out in hive box. God bless
I'd definitely wait. Feed them tho. Italians are wonderful-my favorite of all the bees I've had. Just checked my hive & thrilled to see mine over wintered well! Praise the Lord!
UPS guy may be great but he should be wearing a mask.
What fun. A new adventure for you. Glad to see you are well.
Dang, no notifications and you don't show in my subscriptions! For the last few videos. Been thinking about getting bees.
very cool Mark :). good luck!
Good luck with your decision, Mark
Congrats Mark,
Did you educate yourself on beekeeping through books, YT, visiting other beekeepers? True about other comments that said a wind break will help. A cheap fast windbreak straw or hay bales. Looking forward to seeing the final placement of the bees. Cheers,
Bill
PS how's your Marine? Hope he is safe.
Very cool, where did you get them?
hope you will keep us abreast of your delicious honey and pollination. Enjoy.
haha "Zone 6-Bee" lmao
Very cool. I would love to get some honey bees but we have a hive nearby of Africanized bees that took out a neighbors honey bee hive and I want to find and get rid of the pest nest before making the investment and taking the plunge. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations. My package was sent via USPS last year. The post office called me at 6 AM to come pick up the package of bees. I was nervous driving home. I drove slowly since I could hear the bees buzzing in the back of the car whenever I hit a bump in the road.
Interesting; Looks like fun. We sell our Maple Syrup out of our sugar house and at the farmers market and so many folks ask about honey. Maybe I will do bees some day when I get older. I am only 67 now.
Fantastic Mark can't wait to see them buzzing around happily making honey and pollinating your fruit flowers.
I learnt from a vegetable gardener, she leaves the flowers on her Kale for the bees sure enough when I went pass the flowering kale this morning there were lots of bees buzzing around. Delighted for you thanks for the video.
Will be following this closely. I will be getting bees next spring. About to close on a 5 acre property in 2 weeks.
HAHAHA! Anybody wanna bet Mark is sitting in front of his hives…watching them with rapt interest?
Check out this study done by Paul Stamets https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-32194-8.
I got a summer job (as a student) at a native seed production farm called Ernst Seed. It’s the largest native seed producer east of the Mississippi. I was lucky enough to get paid to sit in on a presentation by Dr. Harland Patch from Penn State’s pollinator research organization. He’s got knowledge of pollinators that you couldn’t find anything close to online or in any of the other major ag schools worldwide. I actually emailed him and asked him if the findings of Stamets’ study were legitimate and he said they were and it’s something that could actually help to save bees from destruction. I’m going to get bees and try to grow some fungi for them.
I’m planning on getting access to this presentation as it was mind blowing. If I can, I’ll try to see if I can send it to you or link you to it. Bees are awesome!
