How to light a smoker for beehive inspections when youβre beekeeping
Hey there friend!!

Bed warmers #cats #pets
Taking a break from beekeeping hive inspections to visit with the Horse next door.
My fur babies keep my life interesting.
LOL lord! Now thatβs not a question Iβve ever had a patient or their parent ask! π
You really have to manage colonies well when you donβt want them to increase. Iβve been working hard to increase ours, so splitting every chance. But it does get to be some work!
Bee Math! Definitely a thing!
19 right including this iffy swarm.
We need rain here so bad, could use a decent fall flow!
Yes, if they donβt build up quick enough, I would squish a queen and combine them with another hive before winter. But Iβm going to give these a shot, we still have a fall flow to go through here and with luck???
Yep! Now I have to go all the way through the hives and figure out where they came from
They really arenβt interested in stinging you unless they are protecting their hive. I love that you are planting for them!
Look what was hanging around in the apiary this morning. I caught and put them in a new home. Not crazy about August swarms, but will see if we can get them built up for winter. #beekeeping
Sunset looking out toward the hives. Just beautiful. #sunset
Thanks! I added to my feeds
Started off with smiles on our faces. After being in bee suits in 102 degreesβ¦.smiles were gone and we needed showers!
