Hey DC, whats the 2 white stips in each box? Is that for beetles?
@dcsblessedbees18 днів тому
Those a OA "Wood Whitening" Strips,😁 turns out they also help control mite numbers.👍 Harris makes them for me, they are easy to make but he makes big batches so I just get them from him.

@@Mike_squarebeefarms They are OA pads basically the OA sponges, we just use the pigmat. It holds the solution better.

Gonna play armchair beekeeper on you. Why add pollon patty to a colony with 3 full frames of pollen in the brood area?
@dcsblessedbees18 днів тому
🤨Because they are eating it and growing of course.😂 No we have these 2 or 3 day rain breaks and I keep a little patty and syrup on them for those days that get out less. That way they have an over ample amount of food types, I feel it is better for them during my Spring. Plus as long as they are eating it, they must want it. You have to remember my bee season is just starting, unlike yours that has been running for a month or 2. Also it's a Rocket fuel patty and if you notice it's smaller amounts. Mostly it's just in there for those down times. Blessed Days Phillip.

I asked because I lost a colony due to it being pollen bound. If you have some drawn comb, I'd recommend swapping some of that out.

@@rtxhoneybees It's all good, mostly I keep a little extra on at this point in my Spring because of the rainy weeks that we are still having. I don't want them slowing down if they are stuck in for 4 or 5 days. I'll take another look after this rain and if they still have all the extra pollen, I'll pull a few frames to save for splits. I just want them to finish off our rainy Spring with plenty of food stores. With Blackberries just a round the corner I need them making as many bees atm as they can.
