Bees and brood in March - Thermosolar hive 🐝
This video (in Czech) was sent to us by Vojta - a young beekeeper who decided to try beekeeping without chemicals last year and bought a Thermosolar hive.
We are very happy to share the video. We are always pleased to get feedback from beekeepers who use the Thermosolar hive 🤓
Video description:
The brood at Thermosolar Hive don't look too bad. Bees are on five frames, the hive was nicely warmed up after a sunny day, the bees were calm, they are brooding consistently and in my opinion strongly, even having eggs up to the first frame. Their stores are carried around the brood nicely, showing no signs of nosema (like the surrounding colonies). For me, an ideal hive. Since I'm not the best beekeeper, this hive is starting to suit me pre-season, as it seems to have managed the biggest pitfalls of the worst time for bees without my intervention. Or in spite of it. The surrounding bee colonies in the regular hives are not happy with me and don't look their best. And I've been treating continuously through the season. But the dampness in the hives and the mite on the late brood probably did their part.
Plodování (kraňky) v TSU nevypadá špatně. Včelstvo na pět uliček, po slunném dni byl úl pěkně vyhřátý, včely byly v klidu, plodují uceleně a podle mého názor...
