Cold Weather Beehive Feeding - Topping off the hive with syrup before winter and fixing hive heater.
Cold weather beehive feeding -- Topping off the hives with sugar syrup before winter and fixing hive heater. Natural nectar and pollen are almost gone. Topping off the hives with heavy sugar syrup to sustain the bees through the winter. Also, fixing the heating element in one of the winter boxes. Fall is here and the the outside temperature is dropping fast but the bees are tucked away in their 65 degree hives sipping honey-coladas.
Outside of the one malfunction the internal beehive heaters are working perfectly and keeping the beehives within a set temperature range. The internal heaters are working as expected. Not only do the beehive heaters keep the bees warm but they also keep the internal bucket feeder filled with sugar syrup at a constant temp to allow the feeding of sugar syrup well into the col season. The internal temp of the beehive is also warm enough for the bees to successfully evaporate the sugar syrup for capping.
If you are interested in building your own hive heaters I have created a 4 part how-to video series showing you exactly how I build my hive heaters and how to control them. You can find the videos in my upload stream or in the Things I build playlist on this channel.
If you are considering becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeper as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first year of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.
Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
