Bro why are you using non food-grade plastic for your family? It’s like $30 for that setup minus time spent, just go buy a cheap extractor with food grade plastic. Take care of yourself, there’s a good reason they don’t mark those food safe

Hi. Thanks for making it look easy. How do you keep ants off the bee hive? I have a problem with ants. Secondly how long should I wait for colonisation to take place?

I absolutely love your fencing veil. It doesn't sag or tip to far forward when trying to beekeep or while I am performing a honey bee cut-out from a structure. It is comfortable to wear and very lightweight, which is very important to me, particularly when I might be wearing it all day. Comfort Pro is my first choice!

Thank you this is super helpful. I tried beekeeping years ago with a canvas suit. Now I'm looking into getting a suit for protection against yellowjackets while working in my pastures. I'm tired of getting attacked.

There is good research to show that pure white sugar has no ill effects on bees. We as humans on the other hand should not eat the stuff. Fall honey... darker honey has been shown also to be harder for bees to over winter on do to impurities they must digest and pass. No matter how warm it is in your winter the nest still needs to be 85 degrees or more so when you add the extra boxes on top you are taking a great deal of the heat out of the bottom box. As you have stated... done right you only have the one box and thus the bees stay together, near the food and on the brood. win win win. Different with two boxes because that is two boxes of bees. you went into winter with one box of bees but added another box. The workers may have moves up to feed and as more moved the more the heat went up and thus they stayed up there. Bees here in Canada will sometimes starve to dead in the bottom box with honey in the top box as it is too cold for them to move around and get the honey. Possibly why we started trying SBB over wintering. Life is journey not a destination. Thank you for sharing part of yours. cheers

If you were relying on your fall flow to feed over winter why did you not leave some of the spring honey just in case the Goldenrod did not do well

two Boxes only make sense when you need it to split or to Distanzen the Brood for Swarmcontrol. The Queen don't need the Space of to Boxes. I'm using only one Box since 1989 and I'm very succesfull with it. Greetings from Germany!

The first mistake is “it’s not a trap”….. no bees get trapped inside, surely a trap traps things? It’s a bait hive…….
@BeekeepingUniversity4 ай бұрын
Actually once they move in I close them up so they can't get out (trust me they feel trapped at this point :) and take them with me to which ever bee yard I want to put them in. So I actually do trap them in a way, just not instantly like other "traps" might. But I have no problem with the term bait hive either. Happy Trapping....or bait hiving! :)

In my experience, a trap no more than 5 feet high will catch all the bees you want. I ain't getting on a ladder 15' high and wrestle a box out of a tree, thats a wonderful way to end your beekeeping career.

If I purchased a nuc in a cardboard box, will the bees still be on frames inside of it? if not, whats the based way to install?
@BeekeepingUniversity5 ай бұрын
Yes, if it is a nuc this means the bees have been living with the frames, store nectar and pollen on those frames as well as the queen laying eggs and the workers raising them to larva and then capped brood. A nuc is a mini working colony. Happy Beekeeping!
