Ol yea those act like mine hahaha we run Russian bees also

So, what happened? How well were the frames cleaned? How quickly?

Loved this video 😊

Love to see a bee barn temp report in this heat wave.

are you trying to kill bees? spread Varroa? AFB? Small hive beetle? Always try to minimize robing. Do not encourage it. You are doing all of the bee keepers, feral hives and even local pollinators in your area a grate disservice with this behavior.

Do you close your bottom entrance during winter or leave open just a little?

I hope you are well. It seem you haven’t posted for several months. This is a great product… any updates?

WOW I only found your channel today and watched your first video from 7 years ago and have watched your progression and honestly you’ve blown my mind with how cleverly thought out, designed and built your version 2. You give me confidence that I can and will be successful with my bees when they arrive this Spring. I have been learning what I need to do from other beekeepers in our local area but I have watched so many KZbin videos on what I may need to do and by far yours has been the most enlightening. Great job mate :) I know what I am going to be doing for the next week….binge watching all of your videos :) Just marvellous. Cheers Theresa - South Coast Australia

Good on you mate. I am in Australia and due to circumstances out of my control I didn’t get my bees this past spring. Ive spent that time joining a local beekeeping association and have gone out to do hive inspections and general beekeeping protocols so that I am more prepared for this coming spring when I finally get my nuke of bees. I am using flowhive and will be one of the only people in our area with this hive as most of the beekeepers that started with flowhive have ditched it…with that being said I need to decide for myself after spending so much money on my new flowhive whether this is going to work for me. We have a strawberry and flower farm and this will be our second year, varroa is about to his our area for the first time EVER which is a really frightening prospect and a lot of bees will be coming into our area due to our biannual native trees and we have been told that all of the native swarms will start to die this season due to varroa. Im all about keeping my hive healthy and will be using formic if the need arises more like when the need arises. I have also made a very big decision to also get a hive of Australian stingless bees that don’t get varroa but can help with pollination. I thankyou for sharing your journey of beekeeping as a beginner…we are all beginners at some time and as beginners we have to teach ourselves and learn from any good or bad decisions we make. Cheers Theresa (Australia)

Thank you so much for sharing. It's helps me. ❤

I live in Oklahoma and I’m planning on starting 3 hive spring of 2025 was wondering if I should go with a thinner insulation board or the same. Winters run between 36/20 degrees and summer 95/107. What do think?

I would be interested in 60 of them.

Hi. Where do I get those bands you have around you're Hives?

Great way to spread disease

You know that's illegal in Massachusettes right?

Ten months without a video. Just a quick update would do

Reduce, reuse, recycle! Everyone is happy. Well done.

Hi Jim .We all miss your video.😢

Nice to see you still working bees “behind the scenes” 😊

Hi Jim, miss your videos. Found you way back in late season 1, piqued my interest in beekeeping, now im a native and honey bee researcher and have my own hive this year ❤

Would building another hive make make a difference. Like hey here is a new house! So to speak.

What a healthy hive looks like it cold weather.

This is a great idea. .

why? Just a huge biosecurity issue.

I hope your doing well! But I really miss your videos!

It's so simple but so smart and cool

Miss your videos. You are an inspiration, influencer, and inventor.

Is there a benefit to having them cleaned before placing back in a box? Could they not clean them in the box?

IVE MISSED YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE COME BACK

Why didn't you save that honey?

Nice bear feeding stand!

I miss your updates. I hope everything is ok with you and your family!

Would this insulated hive work in central Florida?

I use a fume board to force them down into the lower box. They can be used for much more than honey extraction. Just give it a try.

lol love how this whole thing and part one are both him just disassembling a hoop house but making it look like he’s assembling it. Clever - looks tough to pull off

Howdy sir. I am down in Texas and we will have a few days in the 20's in winter but a lot of 100+ in the summer. How does the insulation help or hurt? Would it need to be more ventilated in the summer?

Maravillosos y diversos comentarios, aunque sólo he leído las traducciones del inglés al español. Me encanta cuidar mis arándanos aunque soy principiante. Mis saludos desde España.

Where is the videos!

DUDE! This is absolutely brilliant! Regarding the manufacturing, did you ever consider Sharktank?

Where are new bee videos, we need more. Where have you been?

Wouldn't the black metal roof will absorb heat??? kind like a black car in the summer?

Dude where’d you go? We love your videos!

Love the videos! Started from episode one, so you may have figured out the clover struggles. But in case you haven’t I may have some advise. I would try using buckwheat as a summer cover crop. And in August broadcast your clover into the buckwheat then crush the buckwheat over the seeds. Buckwheat suppresses weeds and allows the clover to grow up through

Your shoulders look long than normal bar. ??? Is there a reason?

Where do I buy the black core plastic??

Hoping for new videos soon and all is well 🙏

You think too much. Let bees do their thing

In central Spain bees propolize all top ventilation no matter what.

Thanks for sharing, just a quick question what about this issue about HMF, which can be created at highter temp. when boiling ? have a great day
