I finally started uploading videos to you tube. Figured I should share with you folks who have brought me along at lightspeed as a beekeeper.

A good honey season.MPG

Nice video.

My hopefully helpful suggestions.
Find out what types of plants they are bringing pollen and nectar in from and mention it.
Mention the date on the video. A few years from now that could be helpful.
Mention how old the hive is. if this is a new hive or a second or third year one. Does it have a new queen?

I am really glad to see the multiple stack boxes. I can't do to much of that down in SoFla.

Sincerely,
Brendhan

I didn't specify the date, but it was the day of posting. ( actually made tie video for my son, who isn't a beekeper. (yet?))
I think I'll be trying to figure out the sources up here for a long time. - I know when the oaks pollenate they kick into high gear. (in fact that hive had a full super around the end of the oak bloom, but I don't have a clue what was giving nectar, the oaks were the only thing blooming as far as I knew) They did modestly work the blueberries, and we have blackberries going now.
I remember someone of considerable experience telling me we don't need a double deep in Fl., but I forgot the reasoning. I had added the medium at the bottom before he told me I only needed one deep.
