    A nice present from JP Claus! I need all the positivity I can get. My brother passed away on Monday from a 15 month fight with colon cancer. This has been the worst week of my life. Folks, I beg you, get checked.

      @@JPthebeeman Thanks JP. Not gonna lie, this is way worse than losing a parent. He was just a year younger than me. Sorry for the loss of your uncle. All we can do is to keep hanging in there and love the ones that are still here.

    Nice how to video. As a suggestion, if you use a "figure 8" stirring pattern when stirring by hand, it will really eliminate any sticking to the bottom or burning, and does mix better.

    Just started this spring. Getting hive set up for winterizing. Right now I have sugar water in and am going to be making fondant tomorrow - I'm out of sugar. I'm feeling kind of scared that I'm going to mess up but I have not harvested any honey for myself this year and when I checked last month they had a lot of honey set aside. I've only been checking 1x a month. They have a cross-combing problem though that I haven't been able to deter them from. Anyway, I'm on my way to having a good top bar hive cause there are a LOT of bees in there now. They've built comb on 13 bars. It's cold today so they are all scrunched up in the middle keeping warm. Not sure how I should insulate them from the below zero weather we can get but I will do my best. I'm also going to make some pallet windbreaks to lean up against the hive to help them out. Thanks, JP, for helping me overcome my fear of bees and making friends with them. I hope you are well.

    Merry Christmas to you JP. I do enjoy your videos.
    The beekeeping world is one of varying opinions. I have heard one must not heat the sugar solution above 190 degrees. It changes the structure of sugar and that is dangerous to the bees. It makes them sick.
    For years, I have just mixed the sugar with some tap water and let it set up. The damp mixture hardens within a day.
    JP, why fondant and not the cakes, I make without heating? Is there a particular reason you use fondant?
    Do have a splendid day.
