What he does with this Bobcat T590 is very helpful...

This is another one of those times when Mamakirbs surprised me with the camera while I was working! She wanted Flowers in the old Stock Tank... so this is what she got.

Robert from Rising Kale Farms is a beekeeper with 5 days experience at the time of this video. The hives were purchased, the bees were installed... we waited 5 days. Now what? Well, Robert wanted to put the sugar water in one of the hives that didn't get it on the first day so it was a good opportunity to see how the girls were doing. He had lots of questions and I had some answers... hopefully they were right! LOL. I'd love to hear what you have to add to the conversation. 

Helping a friend become a beekeeper.

A day on the homestead. Lots of farm animals living peacefully together.

I was so nervous all week!

Oooh, I didn't like pinching her. It just felt wrong.

What’s going on with the splits?

She’s happy with the coop! Come on in to see how the coop has transformed from a dog kennel frame to a very cute and functional white washed chicken coop. 

The Chicken Coop Build Continues!! Yes!

I did one major thing different than what most beekeeping people recommend. One things that could make all the difference in the world in the success of splitting hives and making nucs. Potentially my method will prove that splitting hives doesn't have to be a time to travel 2 miles away from the original beeyard. Also potentially I could prove that I know how to lose bees. In this video I go through the process of splitting two hives to create 5 frame nucs. Along the way I show some beehive inspections and tid bits of interesting beekeeping information. Hopefully you enjoy your visit here to the Daddykirbs Farm for this beekeeping episode. Thanks for being a part of my story!
