Raining Inside the Hive -- I failed to remove the corks while feeding sugar syrup. Yikes!

Oh no! It is raining inside the hive. I failed to remove the corks from the control box while feeding sugar syrup. The bees were dehydrating the syrup but I left no where for the water to go. If you are going to use the heater boxes and need to feed syrup in the winter you may want to use a Vivaldi board to provide ventilation or at the very least open up all of the ventilation holes. I made a mistake and fed the bees and closed all of the vent holes. Its raining in the hives. Good news is I have opened the vent holes and the problem was resolved within the hour. Now, the bees are warm and dry. Close call. Ventilation is king with bees in the winter.

If you are considering becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeper as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first year of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
