....big deal the split ....the problem-GREEK-word is the varroa...all over the

[bobd]

Should be titled, “Hunting for the queen “.

[bryanb.]

I bought a package from you last year and used your winter bee kind this winter, and I had to do a split last night because there were so many bees. I will definitely advise others to use your winter bee kinds and bees!

[tonysicily]

Great winter protection. So glad to see you do not follow the “cold does not kill” myth.

Nice video, have subscribed

[jeremyratcliff]

Do you publish your recipe for, " winterbee kind, " or sell it in the U.K. ? Thanks for the video

[AskTheCarExperts]

Hi David, What is you climate like in your location? Here in CT my 4 hives did not make it through the winter.

[theremarkable]

Don't believe the one who starts with self praise. 😒

[salambeekeeper]

Hello, where did you get your master beekeeping certificate from?Is it university courses? How long it takes to be master? Thanks in advance.

[Jerry-tpkf]

How do I buy your honey bee kind, for the winter.

[kennylecroy]

Why do you want the queen to lay in the super ?

[StreamdancerSmurgle]

Can I tell the difference between a queen and a drone? Yes. Can I pick her out in a lineup of 30, 000 bees in constant movement? Not even close.

[timlewis]

What's your recipe for Winter Bee Kind?

[billcoley]

This working the bees without protection makes me itch.

[dalemccleary]

Hi mate. Is there a product you can put on the comb dase to encourage a swarm queen to naturally relocate into a new hive? I've heard you can spray the entrance also. Many thanks for an informative thread.

[tomenrecaj]

Hi David, can you please share how you make your winter bee kind? I'm starting beekeeping and would like to know your trick. Amazing bees you have got. What breed of beed do you have with such beautiful laying patterns?

[arra]

I am a beginner. Here in South Africa they lay a queen separator between the brood box and the super. I see you have actually a queen laying eggs in the super, isn't the super supposed to be the area where you harvest the honey from? and therefore a queen no go area?

[bradgoliphant]

Hey David, do you only keep top entrances open during the winter? Is yes, then why?

[romoshka]

I had a double with a super on top. They came through winter, weak, with all the bees in the super. Since all the brood was in a super I was confused as to what to do.

[George-nxlo]

please tell me thats not fiberglass around the hive???

[kevinarcher]

How cold do recommend before insulting the hives? Thanks
