Excitement is finding hot bees inside your beesuit. 😳

How long did it take you to start calling them side cutters? It took me a couple years in the shop lol

Thank u

😊😊😊

So, do you think mineral oil works better than oxcillic acid?

Don, what's the point of showing your yellowjacket traps if you leave out the most important part, the attractant?

Min

Wow amazing 💙

How do you clean the equipment? I couldn't clean of the wax

Doesn't work , sorry

Hope you are doing well ❤❤❤

Don has helped a lot of us when we first started with honeybees. If I didn't have Don to help me 24 years ago, I may not be working with bees now. Thank you, Don, for all the help

Look online for "5" diamond sharpening disk", you should find what you need for $25 or less.

Don: Does the Excluder work on the Small Frame Bee Queens? Since the Bees are Smaller, will the Excluder stop the small Frame Queen? I want to try the Cloake Method of Raising Queens. Just for two runs, not long term, and the rest of the Bees will have a Second Entrance above the Excluder for those 2 weeks of that process. Just Curious to know if the Excluder will work on the small frame queens..

I thought you were using wintergreen oil in a fogger.

Nice bee Sauna! 🤣 👍🏽

Don't that confuse the existing hive. Seems like they we would swarm. I can't afford a 180 $ package swarming

I go back and rewatch these old videos. Love it!!! The knowledge that you shared with us!!! I tried grafting, that’s a young person’s game!!! I learned to cut cells from watching your videos and you are right, you will run out of equipment before you run out of cells to cut. I actually use natural combs in a timing box and cut strips of eggs out, make as many cells as you want!!!!🤷🏻 thank you again Don for all the tips

Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego dnia

what is the size of you queen cell jig?

I wonder about putting frames in a solar wax melter and letting it melt of

What if we have wires inside the wax?

Look at that lousy and dull colored wrist watch.

Thank for putting a smile on my face mr. Bee man

This is just what happened to me yesterday. I watched them split to 2 boxes I had out. Amazing creatures

Are you doing ok

Great thanks from Kenya

What is the bleach to water ratio and how long do you let them soak? How do you clean plastic foundation?

Thanks!

Slatted rack could help

i sell bees wax candles from my capping's after the honey is harvested. would this machine take enough capping's off so i could sell wax by the pound and produce candles . I like the machine but a bit nervous about laying out that kind of money .

Do you set the frames with honey out for the bees to rob or do you harvest? My problem is I treat for mites in my deeps so that honey isn’t edible right?

Don misspoke. He said that mites fly. They can't. They are parasite without wings. Small hive beetle have wings and do fly to hive boxes.

What’s your thoughts on Russian bees?

Tip: Squashing the queen is bad. 😂

Dream Big brother 🙏

I read somewhere that bees do not like spearmint and you would use it to kill the mite in the beehives with the bees inside?

👍👍🌹

What kind of oil for mites

I seen this video several years ago. When I was in my early twenties I had a man that I was buying my queens from. And I loved it. 5 dollars apiece. I had to give it up because it complicated my life not understanding bees take your money and time when you start. As does everything. Well I’m back and it’s still challenging but I’m more stubborn now than then. I’ve always remember one man up front above everyone else. The queen man. I didn’t understand what he was teaching me would still be with me today. We now call them mentors and a friend. I’m back in and this year I’m starting getting into raising my own queens. But I’m still not able to be as free as I’d like to be but I’m trying to be. Thanks for doing your video i didn’t realize it was you that made it. No telling how many times I thought of it. Lord bless and keep thanks.

Первый раз вижу как поварварски относятся к личинкам. Ведет себя как дикарь. Ни какой аккуратности

Excellent! Thanks.

Wouldn't it be easier to make a two-frame nuc? Then you could use a standard frame. You could take a frame of honey or empty comb and put it in the two-frame nuc.

What is roughly the percentage rate of mated queens? My concern is that the queens don't find their nuc because of the symmetric lines the hives are in.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I sure do learn a lot watching your videos and because of these videos of yours my confidence with my bees have improved greatly. I need to and would love to see your operation in person.

A good air compressor will clean those plastic frames in just a couple minutes.

Can someone please tell me why he cant say what kind of soda he is using in the yellow jacket trap?...i cant think of any reason why that would be a secret....what kind of soda is it????

I really hope you have time to make more videos. I've been watching you and doing common sense I hope and learned alot
