Thanks for this great series Kamon and Laurel. I wish I could do such great camera work!

[CarrieAdams-dvni]

Kamon, Thank you soo much. I am a brand new beekeeper in Southeast Texas. Loving watching this series. I was in my hives yesterday and had no idea what to do with that fat comb full of honey…now I know. It has been raining almost nonstop since early May here so I know the struggle is real!! Keep up the good work!

[michaelshelnutt]

I appreciate your and Laurel's work on teaching your Bee keeping skills. I know it takes time and you could be doing other things. So thank you.

[SilverGorilla]

I feel ya as far as the rain. I’ve pulled all the honey just because of what you said. They eat it all up.
Refocused on feeding syrup and pollen. Will make many summer splits and hope for less rain next year.
I’m in north central Texas.

[GardenOfLife]

Thank you for doing this series, very cool to follow along...looking forward to the rest of the season

[jsjs]

Thank you again for another great episode! My hive inspections are going great, and I have a lot of production, except for that wonky comb I've been dealing with. I'm looking forward to the next video!

[aaronmahieu]

Started using the apimaye bottoms because of you total game changer for shb control. My hives without the apimaye bottoms have the beetle traps full inside the hive but the traps are totally empty on the hives that use diametatious earth with the apimayes

[NKYHoneyBees]

*Great stuff, Kamon. I like this follow along series. Rain has ruined many states looks like. Thanks, brother*

[MinnesotaBeekeeper]

The same thing happens with groomed off mites. Which is why we used screened bottom trap boards.

[beehivewithaview]

Be careful not to twist that hive tool into a pretzel. 💪

[randysmith]

I must have missed something. What was the purpose of scraping off the comb?

[Kevin-TinyTrailFarmNC]

Good grief, my flow is just starting but also at 4, 000 feet in the mountains. Thanks for the video. Surely Laurel doesn’t fall for those “brownie points” but don’t call me Shirley…

[gilt]

The gallon feeder you used at the end of the video, Where do you buy that and what brand is it? Cannot find it on Amazon.

[galleywinterfarm]

Here in north Texas, it has been rain all the time

[stevebillow]

Is there a certain type paint marker to use on a bee or can I use a metal marking paint marker?

[HoneyBoard]

Phấn hoa được trộn sẵn ah bạn chỗ mình thường dùng phấn hoa khô

[danschneider]

I'm so glad that I'm so far north I don't have beetles and far enough north I don't get guy's bringing hives this far north for honey. On Wisconsin!!!

[slava]

Did I miss something? Why did you scrape out honey at about 10 min?

[wadebarnes]

I thought it was just my area they just wasn't doing what do you usually do the Queens are holding back it started off like it was going to be really awesome they are doing just enough to maintain

[maggiewatte]

If you used already drawn comb, should you feed as well? We’re just in flow now in Idaho
Pollen party as well?
