little bit about it I hate this glove you're just love I cut the finger out of this glove so I could use it for hunting and now my finger is freezing don't like that glove so a question I get asked a whole lot of times is what are your bees doing in the wintertime what do they do okay are they alive did they die every year do they come back what is it that your honeybees are doing well let's talk a little bit about that what do honeybees do in the wintertime so right now inside each one of these hives there are four hives right here all the honeybees are huddled up into a tight ball we've had temperatures as low as nine degrees up here and the honeybees basically sit there and vibrate together okay they vibrate and that vibration produces heat so if we had a little laser and we could point it to these hives right here we would probably see that the temperature on the outside of the hive is fairly low but if we could shoot up into the bottom we'd find out that the temperature is probably in the 80s or 90s in there now I am no absolute honeybee expert folks if you know anything about honeybees and you want to post something down there in the comments go ahead and post something in the comments but it's my understanding and I've had honeybees for seven years now it's my understanding that the bees you got to keep them well-fed which is their honey their protein source is the pollen okay so they take nectar from flowers they dry the nectar and make honey and that's their carbohydrate source and they take the pollen that comes collecting on the backs of their back legs and that's their protein source so the reason you don't rob the honeybees of all their honey is so that they can survive through the winter now I didn't rob the bees hardly at all this year I think I only took two boxes of honey out and everybody around is hitting me up for honey but I just don't have it I'd rather my hives do well and my orchard which is right here let's do well okay so this next season my orchard will do very well because my honey bees are positioned right here and the gardens right here it's all planned now hope you know a little bit about what honeybees do in the wintertime now this is just gonna be a little walking talk guys this is this is really nice to be able to walk and talk with you a little bit what I've got down here are my fruit trees okay so this is a row of apple trees and this is a row of pear trees right here now let me show you something about the pear trees…
