We Are Running Out Of Time FAST

🎥 About This Video We are running out of time fast with Zayne's first nuc. The colony is back on track, the queen is laying, there is capped brood in the box and honey is coming in, but the season is closing down quicker than we would like. In this inspection we look at how much honey is ready, why drawn comb makes such a difference, how to check the brood box without wasting time, and when you need to start thinking about varroa treatment instead of chasing the last bit of honey. 🧠 What You Will Learn You will see a late season beekeeping inspection in real time, including how to check for eggs, capped brood, the queen, swarm cells and honey stores. We also talk about inspecting bees without a smoker in hot, dry weather, the fire risk from smokers, why foundation slows bees down, and why you sometimes have to call it and take the honey off before treating the colony. ⚖️ The season will not wait This is the bit of beekeeping that catches people out. A colony can look good, the honey can be coming in, and you can still be almost out of time. At some point the job changes from squeezing out one more super to getting the bees treated, healthy and ready for winter. 🎓 14 Day Beekeeper If you want structured step by step training that builds your confidence and removes guesswork, you can start here: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... 🐝 Queens, nucs and honey from Black Mountain Honey For queens, nucleus colonies, and honey, visit our website: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/ 👥 HiveQ HiveQ is a private community of beekeepers that exists to support each other in their beekeeping journey: https://www.blackmountainhoney.co.uk/... 📺 Recommended Internal Videos One Colony No Splits - Ep 7 -    • 🐝 How To Keep Bees Without Making Splits -...   Winter Varroa Treatment - Avoid This Mistake and Protect Your Bees -    • Winter Varroa Treatment – Avoid This Mista...   Making Splits for Winter - Final Episode - Ep 12 -    • 🐝 The Overwintered Nuc System - Episode 12...   📂 Recommended Playlists Zayne's First Nuc -    • Zayne's First Nuc   Beekeeping Inspections - Step by Step Hive Checks for Every Season -    • Beekeeping Inspections – Step by Step Hive...   Hive Inspections - Masterclass Examples From The Apiary -    • Playlist   Summer Beekeeping - Inspections, Swarm Prevention and High-Season Colony Management -    • Summer Beekeeping – Inspections, Swarm Pre...   AUGUST - Late Summer Varroa and Queen Management -    • AUGUST – Late Summer Varroa and Queen Mana...   Smoker Alternatives - Apisolis, Low-Smoke Methods and Calm Colony Handling -    • Smoker Alternatives – Apisolis, Low-Smoke ...   If this helped, please like, subscribe, comment, and share it with another beekeeper.
