It's over a month into winter and usually when the queen bee starts laying again (here in SE Pennsylvania). In this live chat we'll talk about: • common causes of a hive to collapse in late winter • how we can prevent late winter collapse • what's going on in the hive this time of year I will also talk about what's going on with setting up my apiary and one acre homestead here in Chester County including the addition of a new hive, The Keeper's Hive! This hive claims to make beekeeping enjoyable and NOT back-breaking. I can't wait to show it to you. Big thank you to Galena Farms for sponsoring this video. I, personally, have a Galena Farms hive. The Eli & Ezra hive is my favorite. It's a high quality hive made in Ohio, not far from my apiary. Right now, they're having a sale on all their beekeeping accessories.
