Can you stick 1 frame with a queen cell in a new beehive?

How are they not getting angry while you fondle their nest?

Hello

So calm around the bees with zero protection obviously a true bee whisperer

😊😊😊

Where can I buy a set of photos without the frames for instructional purposes?

There are studies that show wild populations of bees in the us have the exact same death rate as bees in the 1970s. The bee keepers who just treat every year are suppressing the bees immunity to the mites. There are commercial aviaries that have bred their bees for mite immunity and are currently successfully keeping hives with no mite treatment. The attitude of saving every hive is not good for the bees.

Thanks for sharing you are a great teacher, thanks from Missouri

Thank you for speaking to our local beekeeping association last evening, Paul. We'll done!

Разрешается ли в Америке обрабатывать пчел Бипином или Амитразом ? Спасибо 😊🖐️

I am so confused 🤔😒

What breed(?) of bees do you keep there? Cordovan, Italian, etc. Edit: I just watched your other video and you said Buckfast breed. Thanks! God bless and happy buzzing! 😃

This knot is used on boats and in plane cargo holds.

How do the bees go to the bathroom in there? Do they go out of the hive in the room?

New to beekeeping so I apologize in advance if this is an ignorant question. By removing all the supers and forcing all the field force bees into the single deep, does this not promote an instant swarm instinct more or less?? Wouldn’t the population appear to explode in the bee’s view?

Great!

It never ceases to amaze me that we never hear any comments on the late Bill Ruzicka's method : Mite Gone. Not to be confused with Mite Away strips. I personally knew Bill, and he told me once that during the previous 25 yrs his bees had been virtually mite free. During the last 15 years of my beekeping I had the same experience. In a meeting in Airdrie, Alberta I mentioned the method and was laughed at by the provincial apiculturist. ( I thought to myself; who paid you to laugh at me ?) Maybe part of my problem was that I don't have a phd to my name ? In our area here in southern Alberta the right time to treat is in the middle of April and in the middle of august. I have personally tested the method by using sticky boards with a # 8 screen overe top of it. Watchmaker's glasses , 10x magnification used for locating mites, Sticky boards covered wit a 50/50 mix of petroleum jelly and cooking oil. I tested 8 hives in a yard with 25 hives. Pr. 24 hrs the mite drop was abt 2 mites pr hive.. This was done during the first part of April before the spring treatment, thus showing the efficiency of the August treatment in the previous fall. Bill's original web site is taken off, but I recommend anyone who is interested to contact James Hoetmer in northen Alberta, who bought Bill's business and is still making the pads. ( [email protected]). Mite Gone totally removed my worries about the varroa mite as long as the treatment was properly performed at 15th of April and on the 15th of August. During those 15 yrs I never lost a single hive because of the varroa !

Thank you so much, I have tried hard to come up with a good pollen trap design, I will try this one out this winter. I build equipement in the winter and hustle bees all summer long.

How do the bees forage if both brood boxes are sealed shut?

Isn't the barrel feeding a source of disease transmission between hives?

After nearly 40 years of beekeeping I began experimenting with overwintering singles and I've experienced great success. However, I insulate the 10 frame box using foamboard; I also eliminated the upper ventilation entirely leaving a small entrance at the bottom board. It's apparent that the lifespan of worker bees has been shortened making successful overwintering more difficult; reducing space and the stress from cold has made all the difference.

No demonstration? Function check?

Toxic for us if uou use the honey from those frames.

Thank you for the great content and resources. I can't wait to try a few of your plans.

great video. What is it that you are using on top of the hives just under the outer cover?

My guess is when dribbling the liquid between frames you only need to dribble half way as what your assistant did.

The bees are not stinging him bc he is the king .

Are the bees from the laying worker colonies not going to want to kill the queen in lower queen right colony before they loose their capacity to lay eggs?

I love your website and your videos. You are amazing at teaching, i love how clear and concise your explanations are. Im also grateful for the plans you've made available for the equipment. I plan to use them to build all my equipment i plan to use.

Great idea! Stingless bees can also be explored: www.youtube.com/@SirSamsStinglessBeehive

Probably requires different techniques depending on the number of hives you manage. The mom and dad with a couple of dozen hives in the back yard, small commercial operators with a hundred or more, or the major commercial operators will all be looking at different levels and methods of management. The mom and dad bee keepers can try different forms of infusions. In australia we have a massive opportunity to see what natice plants may be effective.

What is the cloth over the hive

What size screen do you use for your screened bottom boards? I used 1/4 screen.

great information, I gathered it is applied 2 strips per 10 frames? Awesome info to its application time period, handling, etc....thank you for the video/info.

Great video! Thanks for the valuable instructions. Side note: Melanie is obviously super-human and impervious to stings and pain! Much respect!

Classical the drone brood removal is my way to go, however the long term of selection the stock is an investment many can’t afford but an absolute necessity for the future as beekeeper.

Hola cuando subirán más videos apicolas. Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱

2 Things. 1 I use a spray bottle and it acts like a smoker as well.I pull the frames one by one and spray both sides. Why does it only last a day or so though? Where does it go if the crystals don't evaporate off the bees? Just a simple mix of a table spoon or two per quart of just water and I think it works well. 2 Is that a bee keepers stack of boxes in the back ground or a bee keepers totem pole.😁

Another excellent video thank you. I have a question though and that's what do you do with the bees , eggs and brood at the end of the queen mating season?

I need to remove a wasp nest. Will smoke work equally with the more aggressive species as with honey bees?

I'm probably missing something but i have a question about the first method. It looks/sounds to me that you put the old queen in the new split. Will the old hive automatically start growing a new queen when the old one has been removed? I guess my question is. Where does the second queen show up from?

Excellent video on a topic rarely covered. My question: the behavior of my bees becomes less pleasant when the dearth starts. So isn't that an important factor to consider?

My setup is similar. However, my entrances face oot not in. This means my work space is in your no-go zone area. Is it beneficial for them to be positioned in, or is it convenient?

Thank you so much for sharing this information from Philippines.

I thought you needed two brood boxes going into winter in Ontario.

Many thanks here from Brazil
