Thank you! You would not believe how hard it is to find videos on winter beekeeping that is near to my zone. I'm in New Brunswick Canada and yours is the closest I could find. Greatly Appreciated, keep up the good work!

I live in Florida, how cold does it need to be for this exercise.
-
Great video, I laughed out loud when you did the little drum-beat on the cover
-
Eric don't put your weight on the center of the cover, use 4 weights on each corner so the center doesn't sag.
-

@bm5447 i bought the hives unassembled from a few of the major sellers. i would not try to build them from scratch with my limited wood skills. thanks for watching, eric - GardenFork
-
did you make or purchase the hives? If you bought them where did you buy them?
-
@Koiboy70 grease patties are real easy to make, mix up vegetable shortening with sugar, you want it like a hamburger patty consistency, then place them on wax paper and put in plastic bags to transport to the hives. add essential oil mixtures if you like, we have a recipe for that on our website, thx, eric.

I'm about to go add those exact covers to my 2 hives now... I hope it works!
-
Where is the grease patty recipe?? Its not where the video said it was, i looked! Thanks!

Nice - thanks for the video. I have purchased 15 hives from a local beekeeper who is retiring - hope to pick them up before christmas. These videos are a great help. Thanks :)
