I'm finding it hard to keep up with the bees I got from New Zealand. I have to give them drawn comb because if I don't they will pack everything full of nectar. I gave them a second deep and tried giving them some frames with foundation but it still didn't help they extended the honey dome up to the inner cover, so I bit the bullet and bought more drawn comb. I'm hoping this will help to control them because we haven't even hit our major nectar flow yet.
A little video I made last month.

Nice photography and great to see you doing so well with those packages.

Loved your choice of sound track also brought back a few memories haven't heard that Neil Young song in years, used to be one of my favourites.

I could watch that video many times just enjoying the bees & listening to the music, nice work.

Very nice video - it is a great thing when packages do as they are supposed to. Some of my Georgia packages are like that. Some have had queen issues.

 

[Dave Warren]

the video was nice, but the music has to go, Neal Young, really!

 

[Andrew Dewey]

The OP is Canadian just like Neil. I thought the music was great!

Whaaat?

Neil Young is an acquired taste people can love or hate him.

Try this though one of his concerts - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KxiEjPCXA8

Or this, a more recent protest song about American policy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=411cTWwxFu8

he has some weird amplifier for his guitar that should have got trashed but he was able to keep it going and get awesome sound from that guitar, a hole also got punched in the speaker but it gave the sound an extra something, so they left it.

Next time I post a bee video it's getting a Neil Young track.

Im going outside right now to set up camera and not put a wonderful musical track to it .. I am just another musical beek that has not evolved into " great " music..

That was some impressive video footage of the girls working. Good job

That is super. I hope they continue.

If it were me I would paint that bottom board up real good not just because of the rain but in the cooler months you will have a lot of condensate running on it. At this point you will have to make another and switch it.

Very nice :applause:
Thank you .

 

[Barry Digman]

That was a nice video, and Neil Young is always welcome. If I may ask, what does a package of bees from NZ cost?

We paid $171.00 Canadian. That's for a 1kg package,

I acquired the taste back in the Buffalo Springfield days.

No comment your on your video as I'll have to wait to I get home.

A beautiful and poignant celebration of your hives. Thank you for making and sharing this. I enjoyed it thoroughly (and will probably play in again several more times today!).

Beautifully done, I really enjoyed the video.

Another tune of Neil's that lends itself well to bee videos is "Emporer of Wyoming"

Neil always sounded good to me because I partied so hard in the 70's that I don't remember them. I always say that if you can remember the 70's you weren't really there.

thought that was the '60's

 

[AstroBee]

acquired taste

Got to disagree with you. I loved his music from the first note I heard. His diversity, skill, creativeness are amazing. One of my favorites for sure.

 

[KiwiMana]

That is great to hear, yep I love New Zealand bees as well

I will check out the video later on...Gary

Who did you buy the bees from?
