Feeding bees 🐝 & stopping 🛑 SHB | Beekeeping

Today on ‪@BohemiaBees‬ we are feeding our bees much needed #pollen substitute and attempting to stop those pesky small hive beetles (SHB). We are testing a new technique to ward off those SHB by applying some crushed peppermint candy powder to the surface of the #pollenpatties . (King Leo Fine Crushed Candy, Peppermint, 5 Pounds https://amzn.to/3UhRoVe) In some tests performed by the Hill Billie Beekeeping group - ‪@houstonsheltonbees814‬ ‪@CaseyHillBillyEarlDooley‬ ‪@TennesseeMountainBees‬ and several others they found peppermint candies to be a successful, so we thought we would give it a try and it actually did repel the SHB and the bees were able to consume the pollen patty and even ate the candy sugar coating. We recognize that techniques like these can be somewhat controversial and not endorsed by every beekeeper, however, we believe that in order to grow as a beekeeper, one must embrace new ideas and strategies to give our bees the best chance they have for survival. If for some reason you DON'T endorse this practice, it's easy to just scroll on to another video and dismiss it, but we found a slight benefit and love BEEing Innovative!
