hmmm, you wouldn't want to disturb the bees in winter. They can't take the cold. If you messed with them in winter, I'm not sure how they'd react, and I wouldn't try it.
Thanks for the great Videos, I'm getting into bee keeping next year and your videos are a great help.

Thanks! My buddy Jim has 2 hives now. We'll have to see how they do after winter ends....

Update for everyone. Poor old sparky had to go to doggy Heavan. His hips / back legs gave out on him. It was sad, but he lives on in the bee trilogy. Fairwell old timer... You were a good dog.

QUESITON: i see uncapping knifes and combs (the one you used) in different videos... under what conditions do you use a knife or a comb?

Combs work best if it's nice and warm out ( 80 degrees F , or so ). You just break the caps off, and spin out the honey.

Great vids I saw all 3. How much does it cost to start beekeeping for materials?

You, know, I'm not sure, as my bud Jim did all the work. I don't think it was more than a few hundred bucks for the bees, hive, and protective clothing....
