I put an addition on my beehive today. The bees were installed in mid May and it is now 6-12-19. The bees needed an addition to be able to build more brood and to put away more supplies for winter.
I added another brood chamber and I turned the entrance reducer to make the hole bigger for the bees for summer.
They are being fed sugar water and brood cake and they look very healthy.
This video was made years ago using a poor quality flip camera which was not good at zooming. I still posted it because you can still see the bees protecting their hive from a fire ant and carrying the ant away.
Honey bees are amazing creatures and so are ants so ignore the focus and watch nature at work.
Bees are an important part of Worm Man’s Worm farm for several reasons. We need the pollination for our crops. We grow vegetables to feed our insects. Our Mealworms and Superworms eat potatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. We grow wheat that becomes part of the worm bedding for Confused Flour Beetles, Rice Flour Beetles, meal worms, super worms and more. We use the honey, beeswax and pollen to make our waxworm food to feed our big fat wax worms. Our Lesser Waxworms eat the same formula.
Without bees, our farm would not be the same. You don’t have to have a worm farm to keep bees. You could just want to keep bees as a hobby, for the honey, to pollinate your garden or for the wax to make candles or natural skin products. There are many reasons to keep bees. It is a fun and fulfilling hobby. Check out the Practical Beekeeping tips, know how and step-by-step instructions on how to start bee keeping right now!
