- The southeast Texas honey flow is almost over! Hopefully a lot of these colonies can top off the final box we put on them. This has by no means been a "normal" year, but then again, I don't really have a great example for "normal" LOL!
Thanks for all your support! If you'd like to purchase some of the honey made by our bees, check out moorehoney.com!

Cool can't wait 😊 hope treatment goes great
Thanks Jake. Those capped frames looked great - nice and fat.
The 8 and 9 frame spacers are my favorite for that reason!
Capped money
Hope you get that 80 pound average crop from tallow. Looking forward to seeing your bees in west Texas after.
Expecting our splits to make about 30 pounds. The parents won’t quite reach 80 most likely but they’ve made a good bit considering the mite pressure.
Hello Jake, I have just watched a couple of yor videos, which I found interesting in comparrison with UK honey farming.
Do you use Dadant hives? They look like it, althiugh the frames I saw in your extracting video looked a bit shallow for Datants. I noted that you still have problems with Varoa. This may or may not be of interest to you, but I have not had Varoa for some years now, and the reason I put it down to is this.
Each winter I keep a jar of strong Thymolized syrup on each hive as a contact feeder until late spring. The reasoning behind this is, I believe the thymol inteferes with the breeding cycle of the varoa mite. Whether or not this is true, I can't say, but it seems to work for my. Kind regards,
Tony Marsh
Thanks for watching! They’re not from Dadant. We have a lot of equipment from Mann Lake.
I'm in east Texas north of Tyler and I find your information relevant to my area also, our tallow pretty much all froze two years ago it's coming back but is all small.flow is done here.
That’s what some of ours looked like last year. This year still wasn’t “normal” though.
I also keep bees near you in Rusk County to be exact. Looking to make connections if you're interested..
You’re intros are awesome!! You need to make like a 5 minute video like your intros of just cool music and sweet bee pictures and clips!
Thank you!
Jake. I am personally not interested in hearing about experimental treatments that are not currently available on the market. I do want to hear your experiences with them if and only if the become widely available because you will be the experts of those treatments. Your looking good with those new bees from Cali. Considering the weather they had this spring I think those bees are doing excellent. I am hoping you are going to film some extraction here in the next few weeks.
The topic is tough for commercial beekeepers to talk about. We are very much unsupported by the EPA in that what’s currently available just stuffs the pocket of some chemical company without a high efficacy. Hopefully some change will come to the topic soon. It’s necessary and a requirement for bees to survive.
what are you spraying in ur smoker and why?
Check out my lighting a bee smoker video!
first
mRNA?
Haven’t messed with that yet.
