Once you start feeding your bees, you have to keep it going. 00:00 - Frozen pollen-infused fondant. 00:45 - Pay close attention to fed bees. 03:10 - Inside the hive. 03:48 - Pollen leads to royal jelly and baby bees. 05:13 - Nothing typical about this set up. 05:45 - Feeder rim can result in burr comb. 06:25 - Top insulation is critical. 06:55 - Healthy bees. 07:35 - No top ventilation. 08:00 - So much depends on a healthy queen. 08:35 - Check every 2 weeks once feeding begins. 08:55 - When bees reject "pollen patties." 09:50 - So far so good.
