  1. A bit of bee video from a couple of days ago. They're finding some bright orange/yellow pollen and probably still working the goldenrod.

  3. The bees all eventually moved into the top box but I think there was some drift too and the bottom box got more active. The box has comb on all frames except 2 that are bare foundation so not much has to be done and I think there are enough bees they'll be ok before winter. There's lots of honey and pollen in the hive and they are finding pollen somewhere I've noticed since they were moved in plus I have a pollen patty in there.

  5. 35 minutes of video in 40 seconds showing the bees that didn't leave going back into the hive. maybe.

  7. I was in the garden and heard a buzz. The East hive swarmed around 11:30, gathered high up in a cypress tree, and at 13:05 were buzzing again and flew off to the southwest. Probably a box of bees.

  9. The bees in the nuc hives on this cool and windy Sunday morning that was 57F or 14C when the video was recorded. I think the plan is to move the green bees into a 10 frame deep, and give the white nuc a top box since they started with fewer bees. The queens have only been laying for a week to ten days (hopefully) so a couple of weeks will reveal the new activity.

  11. Some video of the hive entrances. Sunny and 63F/17C. That West hive is less active but those bees have a different schedule than the other two. Seems like a lot less Carniolan types in that hive.

  13. The bees today. Very busy, pollen coming in, and the West hive having a traffic jam caused by a bunch of drones on the landing board.

    I haven't seen any activity at the bait hive and the bees at the other empty hives seem to be off target and taking a break.

  15. Bees bringing in the pollen on Saturday morning. I estimate between 100-120 bees per minute with pollen. That could be over 1.5 grams of pollen per minute or 500 grams in 6 hours. More than a pound of pollen and they work hours than that. That's based on them only carrying 15mg of pollen but I read they can carry 30mg.

  17. A short bee video after lots of beekeeping things today. Not a lot of pollen but it only got up to 53F/12C today and no sun until late afternoon.

  19. Busy bees, April 4, 2025. Pollen going in and I see some drones at the Center hive. The hybrid willows are blooming and full of bees, and the Norway Maples, sarvis berries, peaches, and plum will be blooming in a few days probably.

  21. I put the oxalic acid pads in the hives today. Each hive gets 50 grams of oxalic acid that is mixed with 50 grams of glycerin. The glycerin is heated to LESS than 170F/76C before the oxalic acid is mixed in and then the Swedish dishcloths are cut in half and soaked in the mixture.

    This was the Center hive that has the most bees.

    No stings, no drama, no surprises.

  23. Just when I think I'm going to get something done I see a good video making opportunity. 4 seconds of 240fps bees slowed down.

  25. Bees in the bird feeder. They're probably collecting cracked corn dust which isn't great.

  27. The water is going down and it's not leaking now since I sealed the print but this is the most bees I've seen drinking water.

    This is a bit ridiculous since the hives are 75 feet away from *illions of gallons of water but there's always one or two bees at the dog water, or the geese water, or on dripping faucets. It can't hurt and maybe I'll put a bit of salt and minerals in it for them.

  29. The strongest hive early this afternoon today. The drones are cleaning themselves for any potential encounters as the workers bring food in. I made some little U-shaped water troughs. I've been filling up small jar lids sometimes with water and they seem to drink it so I made something so the water would last longer.

    It holds about 60ml or 4 Tbsp.

  31. The bees late this afternoon on a mostly overcast day with a few drops of rain. Lots of big drones in the two most active hives and a steady amount of pollen coming in.

  33. I was trying to capture video of a drone I thought I saw emerging from a cell, but I didn't see that on the video. I did see the queen.

  35. The bees at the hive entrance yesterday before I opened it up to check things and remove the oxalic acid pads because I probably won't be in there again this year.

    Still a lot of orange pollen going in.

  37. Youtube video of the hive check today. There is a lot more capped honey in the second deep and it's getting heavy.

    Bottom deep is kind of a mess from bulged honey comb so I didn't pull anything out of it this time or previous. It will get fixed up in the spring when I'm not worried about them having enough food for the winter.

  39. Video of the hive entrance. This location of the camera was really causing a traffic jam and there were a lot of bees doing some circles around the camera before moving on. I have a deadcat on the rode mic so maybe they wanted to check that out on the way by.
