LIVESTREAM TONIGHT & ONLINE CLASS GIVEAWAY!

I'll be hosting my LIVESTREAM on YouTube at 7pm central time tonight (Thursday February 16). I'll start by teaching briefly on raising queens, and then I'll spend some time answering questions. Throughout the livestream we will draw winners for my online courses. I hope you can join me. Here is the link:

I am hoping to build a great community of beekeepers where we can encourage and support each other. Looking forward to seeing you tonight.

THE LITTLE HIVE THAT COULD

If you've been following my recent videos this week, I opened up and bravely inspected the "little hive that could" to see if there was a queen and if they are still alive. If you haven't watched my inspection and search for the queen, please watch this video because you will learn alot including how I mix my spring liquid feed! Watch below:



Did you know that you can do some simple math and give your bees a head start on raising enough foragers to take advantage of an early spring honey flow? You'll need my feeding board pictured here. Available in 8 or 10 Frame.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU


This April 22, I'm looking forward to saying hi to everyone who comes to buy packages from us.



Packages Of Bees Available Now Click Here Now


5 Frame Nucs Available Now Click Here Now


Our packages are "pick up only" at our bee farm in central Illinois on April 22. Why is it better to pick up bees rather than having them shipped? If bees are shipped through traditional delivery services they can be mishandled or kept in hot trucks for days. It is very common for shipped bees to arrive to a beekeeper with most of the bees dead on the bottom of the package. It's risky. Why not order your bees today and pick up your precious cargo here at our honey bee farm where we keep your bees healthy.


Our packages of bees are available now. They sell out very fast. We also have 50 (limited) Nucs available for sale and many have been sold already. If you are new to beekeeping or thinking about starting, watch my video below that has 1.5 MILLION views on YouTube:

I've made a lot of videos last month about controlling varroa destructor mites, the number one nemesis of honey bees. One way you can help control mites and add additional much ventilation to your hive is with a screen bottom board. When using powdered sugar dustings along with a screen bottom board some mites will fall out of the hive. Along with other IPM approaches this can help keep mite levels low. Get your screen bottom board today

5 Most Important Tips For February


What my video explaining the five most import things you should be doing in beekeeping during the month of February:



In my recent videos I've mentioned IPM, Integrated Pest Management) as a way to help control varroa mites. One of the natural ways to do this is by breaking the queen's brood cycle after the honey flow when the colony is at its largest and mites are at the height of reproduction. This is easy to do using a queen push in cage. By caging the queen for 5-7 days, the bees' brood cycle is broken as well as the mites' brood cycle. During this break, over 14,000 mites can be disrupted from developing. Purchase a queen push in cage and be ready to tackle mites.

3 Ways To Help Your Bees Survive Winter

 



COME ON! Mites have got to be the most horrible thing to ever happen to your precious bees!


Three ways you can help your bees survive winter are: 1) Control Mites, 2) Feed Your Bees and 3) Raise thousands of bees of winter physiology in September and October. I explain these in my Online Ultimate Beekeeping Course.


Many beekeepers have high hopes and dreams of producing treatment free bees, I did too at one time. It is very admirable, but it is a very large undertaking and although many have been working on this idea for many years, we still have to control mites every way we can.


I've been working hard the last few weeks making videos helping beekeepers learn the art of testing for mites and choosing the best IPM approach to controlling mites. In August and September mites will double in population.


Until we have a proven line of queens that are 100% mite resistant, we must be responsible beekeepers and continue to manage our mite levels to save our honey bees. Please watch my most recent videos on how to test for mites and how to treat for mites. Check these videos out below:

Winter-Bee-Kinds On Sale Now For Shipping In December

 

Here's how it works. Those who order first will be first to receive their order when we start shipping in December. You MUST order early. We are only making a limited number for this season.


Our customers are so pleased and can't believe they come out of winter with huge, healthy colonies. We make these for 10 and 8 frame hives. They come with a refill recipe. 




FALL FEEDING


The only way your bees will survive the winter is by having enough bees of winter physiology, mostly mite free and have plenty of food. Summer bees only live 40 days. However, bees of winter physiology live 4-6 months. Bees that you raise in the fall will be bees you will see next spring. But how do you raise bees of winter physiology and when? You must feed your bees in the fall so that the queen can lay an abundance of brood in September and October. When the queen lays an abundance of eggs in September and October, those bees will emerge in November and will support the hive through into April. To stimulate brood rearing now you must feed your bees with our Burns Bees Feeding System. 



Our feeding board, shown to the left, allows you to feed from the top where the cluster is located on cooler fall evenings. And it provides screened holes to place your 1:1 sugar water with our protein powder.
