What can I plant this time of year for the honey bees? That and several other questions are addressed in this Beginner Beekeeping video. 1) I have 7/8 frames between 3 hives that are 50-75% capped with nectar in the remainder. What to do with this honey? These frames are going into the heart of summer.
2) What are the determining factors to differentiate a spotty brood pattern from normal hygienic behavior?
3) Why are there some brood caps that are darker than others?
4) What are the best plants to plant this time of year for the bees, can I start seeds or is it too late?
5) I have noticed that in the evening the bees congregate on the landing board, even in complete darkness, they aren't fanning, just clustered, is this common?
6) I live in Las Angeles, I really want to keep honey bees - My concern is closeness to my neighbors - some of which have small children.
7) If you split a hive, how far away from the original hive must you place the split?
