Caiman I am an American living in Albania second-year beekeeper thank you for all your knowledge you’re helping me tremendously keep up the good work and thank you
Didn't get to see live, but watched today. Nice of you to offer your time to answer questions to help others!!
Fantastic job Kamon & Laurel! We really appreciate it.
Your chats are very informative… much appreciated
Looking forward to your videos on Queen Rearing! We don't need More plastic. If they are made from recycling, then maybe a small ok. We are wasting the earth because of convenience and wanting these plastic things. (like plastic bags) Looking along any highway and you see these bags hanging from trees and bushes. Kamon, how do You pack All of that Knowledge & Wisdom into that smaller type body. You are a well educated man, with scores of wisdom. Thank you for sharing all that you share!
Holy cow, GREAT recommendation on Bob Binnie. Just watched a couple videos....clearly super knowledgeable and experienced, and very well spoken. Thanks Kamon
You're welcome! We are here to help beekeepers whether that info comes from us or sources we know have good information.
Watched this tonight with a few whisky lol find all your videos very informative. Damian from Ireland 👍
Thanks for all your I information
😁😁😁😁😁
They used to have a bee club in Cookeville.
It's hard to find rubbing alcohol for mite washes, now with this pandemic. Good thing my wife hasn't been in my honey house. Stocked up when,I bought some last fall when I did washes.
Funny, I used to be a organic market farmer here in Tulsa and that's how I got into bees, myself.
I enjoyed watching the recording. Maybe this winter I can catch a live chat.
May God bless you and your family, plus protect you all from what's going on in the world today.
Some of the old bee keepers around here would catch the swarm, remove the queen and dump the bees back in the hive to keep max nectar coming in. Not everyone wants more hives to fool with. I guess it worked as I have no reason to doubt them. I guess they didn't worry about getting a mated queen back .
Do you have any idea what you're going to do this year?
@@danskisbees7348 , As far as bees, as little as possible. I am not interested in trying to make splits and sell bees. I can't sell all the honey around here and Oklahoma law will not allow me to let someone else sell it. I'm concentrating on putting food up for hard times.
So we finally get to meet the giggling Gertie hi from Sydney Australia
hi there i m from ischia small island in the gulf of naples in italy love your sharing of knoledge about bees :) i started last year with a friend with bees, 2 colonies now i got 9 families hope all the virgins will get maiden did already made a few queens let s see heheheheh anyway wanna thank you for all the real good tips and tricks keep up the good work :)

Qva da noi si fa rozmarino. Su Ischija qvale miele avete ? The summer must be hoter then here. Dezerto
Hey Kamon, I've had good results with all my mann lake unassembled deeps except the commercial grade. I bought five of those over the winter and had the same issues with fit and wood splitting that you had. Their select grade were always great.
I become really glad and impressed by lissening to your gardening skills I do have a lot to learn from you! Bees, gardening, soilmaking, woodworking, (I grow ginger and tumeric, make compost and hugelbeds and so forth, I do hunting and drive trucks) I agree with Laurel beefsteak! I have learned if hatching cookchickens low heet in hatcher( hens high heet.
I just so wish we were neighbours! I would so much love to exchanges knowledge and crop and meet with you! 308 will beat the wildboar quite ok! 😍😉💪🤟
Lot's of love from Sweden!
THANKS SO MUCH! BEE SAFE!!!
Any updates or comments on the horizontal hive? I saw your video from January. Thank you for all of your great work.
You mentioned treating 3 times per year. What is the schedule? Thanks for all you do!!!
Keep missing the live here in the UK, but great to catch up later, keep up the hard work.
This will be my first year with bees. I was excited to find that Dadant was only an hour away from my home so I placed my first order. I was disappointed to find that my order of wax went from Paris Texas (1 hour from my home) to Pennsylvania, to Dallas Texas (an hour and a half) from my home then finally to me. The package arrived in decent shape but long after I expected it. I am sorry you are having a difficult time with them! Us newbies sure do appreciate your review of products and your honest opinions. Thank you!
Sorry to hear that! There shipping has been less than awesome for as long as I have been keeping bees. This time of the year and with the who virus thing shipping for everyone is pretty rough. Congrats on your new Honeybees!!
You mentioned in the first few minutes about a video where you shook nurse bees (from another hive) in front of a hive that needed boosting. I can’t locate it. Can you supply a link if possible.
Thanx muchly.
But! I missed you again! The pollen season is slowly kicking the startbutton. Next week, it will explode! Some days with 10-16c (50-60f). I've had some nice days and thgn snow. Sigh!
It bugs me I've missed 2 sessions now.
I've been dealing with hay and straw and new hens. Building a new henhouse and had a bunch of friends over. Lot's of love from Sweden!
I can't believe you only got 53 comments...here's 54.
Thanks for being so informative.
Peppermint and Teatree oil helps them from a lot of stuff you treat oil helps keep the mite out one Drop on the cover in each corner
"A nice crunchy exterior with a honey filled center." Lol!
To bad i missed the live chat today😐 well good thing i can still look at it 😊
Great channel and content I missed the live . But if you have time to answer a question that would be great, I have some hives that overwintered with two deep and one med how should I get the bees down so the med box can be used as a honey super once flow starts ? Thanks spring is here 🐝
Shake them off the frames and use and excluder underneath
hello new to the channel. Great content.
Welcome aboard!
Cheers man
Kamon big fan here. I am a first year beekeeper how often should I bee into my hive other then feeding noticed that I do have uncapped larve
I like light inspections ever 7-21 days myself depending on the colonies needs. It is amazing sometimes what a 2 minutes inspection can tell you.
Thanks for the quick response
Be careful what you wish for with laurel speaking she might take over then what would you do. Matt. England
I've enjoy most all your videos question best way to install package bees ? Okay 2 questions and should thay start out in a 5 frame nuc or regular deep brood box ??
Hello, do you add sugar to the mixture when instilling oxalic acid? Can you write the mixing ratios?
Thanks kamon 3 hrs seemed like 10 mins. Do you think putting out swarm traps encourages. Swarming. Best reguards from somerset england.
Hi Mathew thanks for watching! It thankfully doesn't encourage your bees to swarm. Once the conditions in the hive to swarm are met they will be very attracted to good swarm traps which is awesome!
@@kamonreynolds thanks kamon
She’s so shy lol.
birds will stay away if you put the new plastic owl statues that have the rotating head out in the bee yard
Kamon I am interested in your nucs when they come available. How do I contact you or Laurel? Thanks
Try develop highgenic bees especially bees that develop bald brood treatment for varroa. Swarms that one gets from swarm traps are the first to go the following year and I am a bit long in the tooth to be chasing after swarms. Develop none swarm y bees that stay at home 90% of the time makes more sense. Time the bees sort out the varroa problems themselves. Keep the chat going its great for beginners.
Are you guys planning to open up the Facebook group again? I really miss it as a resource.
Thanks
Hi Brian we want to but we have no time to manage it
Every time I do a varroa treatment with my vaporizer I find two or three carbonized bees.
honey is a very lucrative business
I lost five out of 14 apparently from that virus. After I freeze all the comb can I still use that comb from a colony that died from the virus??
Why one of my hive become very aggressive? Doesn'seem queenless?
What do you use for mite treatment?
SURRENDER
Hi Kamon. I really hate to bother you, but you are one of the folks I trust. How can I prevent swarming without having to purchase more hive boxes? I am 74 and in my 5th year with the bees. Sometimes I think I know what to do, then I don't. I have 5 colonies. They are packed. I live in PA. I have a small yard. I am at a loss. And you need to slow down. I love watching your videos and Live Chats. You looked a little peaked at your last Chat. Don't die f for us. Christ already did that. You guys are young. Enjoy it. Be around later. I know you and Ian S. are super hard workers, but don't over do it. Ian doesn't look so washed out, but you best slooow down! Thank you for all you do. I was going to write you, when you gave the world your address on the CHAT, but I forgot it already. Thanks.
Dang I missed it...
I caught the last 3rd, I will definitely be listening while I'm painting boxes tomorrow.
Good morning sir
Please can i join your website for a life chart, could you please let me know for your next webner thank you
