About this video: Mana From Heaven. | Inspecting and feeding the bees.
Today we will be inspecting the rest of the bee barns on the front row and giving the bees some food for their holiday feast.
About this Channel:
I hope you enjoy beekeeping and this video. If you are interested in becoming a beekeeper or experience backyard beekeeping for yourself have a look at some of the videos on this beekeeping channel as well as videos from beekeeping creators I have listed below. This is my third season as a beekeeper and everything I have learned came from YouTube and mostly from the channels listed below.
Although this beekeeping channel is primarily about beekeeping I am also a quasi pepper who believes in becoming self-sufficient. With that in mind, I have started a garden, planted fruit trees, replaced the hedges in front of my house with blueberry bushes, and have recently built a chicken coop. In short, I will share a lot more than beekeeping on this channel.
A little about me:
I am a person who believes you are never to old to learn something. Be it beekeeping, farming, raising chickens, painting, filming and editing video, making wine, beer, bread, cheese, and other fermentation consumables, play guitar etc… If I see something I want to try I start it immediately. If there is one thing I could choose to pass along to my children this would be it. Never be afraid to try. My wife famously told me once that if you are not willing to be bad at something, you will never be good at it. That means I am bad at quite a few things.
A little about you:
If you are new to beekeeping or are interested in becoming a beekeeper this channel might be for you. In my beekeeping adventures I show everything from my beekeeping successes to my beekeeping failures. I hide nothing and am never afraid to admit to a mistake.
I hope you find my beekeeping videos fun and entertaining as well as get something out of them. I hope I inspire someone to get out and try something new. If you do enjoy my videos, please take a moment to spread the word about this channel and help it, and myself, grow. Have a great day and BEE Happy!

A bit about my channel:
This channel is primarily about beekeeping or more specifically beekeeping 101 because I am just a beginning beekeeper and I figured the best way to learn beekeeping and to be a beekeeper was to buy a flow hive, sometimes spelled flowhive or a flow hive 2 which is sometimes known as a flowhive 2 and begin building by backyard apiary so I would have a place to keep bees. Now, backyard beekeeping is not the only thing I do. I consider myself to be urban farming as I also try to grow a sustainable and edible landscape. Backyard farming for me also includes keeping chicken and building other things in my shop that will help all of the birds, bees, insects, and other natural pollinators. I learn how to feed bees and chickens while showing you my day-to-day activities in my apiary, sometimes known as a bee yard. Some people consider me a prepper and yes there is a little truth to that. I do consider this a form of prepping and becoming self sufficient. Thank you for spending time with me learning about tap hives, flow hives, honeybees, and chickens.

What I wouldn’t give to crack a hive right now. I’ll live on your videos now until April.

I wanted to ask if you think colonies have less disease by average, if their colony size is kept smaller with less boxes and less overall space during most of the year before fall? (Such as including varroa but not only them.) Thanks.
How much of pollen sub is real pollen compared to just soy flour or whatever? Have you tried to make it yourself yet?
DO they have snow on them yet? I'll bet ya didn't stay in the 60s.😊 We had a few of those day a few weeks back too was nice to get some of that last minute bee stuff done. Ty for sharing your time, your bees have a real nice view.👍
I'm the same way, most Ace Hardware and TruValue Hardware stores around here are family owned (maybe franchises?). I go to them also over a big stores like a Lowes or Home Depot, etc. ———— That powdered pollen substitute is probably a better option than a pollen patty as that attracts beetles. Hives look good, lots of bees.
I’ve never seen anyone add pollen sub like that. Have you done this in the past with good results?
Yeah that was an odd decision. Especially for this time of year and for every hive. Hopefully it works out.
Great video, it was beautiful weather.
I'd be interested to see the results. I'm going to be transferring a nuc into a 10F hive today. Going to be giving one of those Ceracell Hive defender base boards a go. It's going to be my experiment for the summer to see if it does defeat the wasps.
I guess we have to try different things to see what the Bees allow. Because it don't work for you then, you know. If it does keep doing it. Then keep in mind 1 colony doesn't mean it will work for all either.
Your bee barns look much better then mine. I built 4 of them and they look more like ghetto apartments. I used scrap to build them fast. I hope to build nicer ones this winter. Yours are much nicer from what I saw in the video. How did you over come the moisture problem. I am trying quilt boxes on top of mine with a 4 inch feeder shim in between. It's been 20 below so far this year and the girl's are still alive.
