I know that it's been three years since you made the hive, and it's an interesting hive. The legs, 0in my opinion, should support the hive from under the hive and not just on the side. I created a similar plain box for plants and found that when it was full that the legs sheared away from. the sides. I had to fit an additional 2 x 4 to each leg to support the actual box. I don't have a bee hive as yet, but it may be something I plan to do for 2025. I would also look at building one and not buying one as it has the advantage of customising it to my thoughts. Great job.

Even with the camera a little further away I has so much of an easier time with your video. All the others made it seem so complicated. I am a bee keeper too and my granddaughter is having a bee birthday party (she is one) and I thought a honeycomb blanket would be perfect.

Hey, once your renovations to your house are done, I hope you keep posting. I found you by searching on inner covers because that is not a topic people talk about, I live in Tampa FL. I put the inner cover upside down on my top feeder for 1:1 sugar syrup. Came back to refill and about 1000 bees drowned as they got into the top of the syrup....I will never make that mistake again. Then, I learned a lot more, it is hot here, and water source is a mile away....

You forgot to smoke the front of the hive before opening the top; you also didn't smoke under the lid before removing the top.

While it is a common practice, we have found it is not needed with every hive. Each hive has its own temperament.

Always! You have to if you’re going to have healthy and happy bees. You should take primary the old comb or any that they build in odd places that you as a beekeeper wouldn’t want comb.

I personally love it. I’d recommend Samu Manuka’s 850 mgo/ 20+ UMF Honey since they’re UMF accredited. Plus they have the most competitive prices on the market. I took it when I had Covid and it healed my sore throat in less than 48 hours.

As long as you don’t take too much and she’s not on any of the frames you pull, you should be fine. Typically the queen won’t be on any honey frames anyway.

Looks like you should remove entrance reducer on a warm day and clean the bottom boards on the other hives with a ream stick or you may have more loss. Weak hives don't have much a chance to over winter. Looks like some winter feeding could have helped. A weight check without opening hive could have helped know condition of resources.

Hi guys! I just wanted you to know that you are literally my favorite bee channel. I'm about to start my beekeeping journey, so I'm watching tons of videos. And I have to tell you, yours are my favorites. I keep going back to them because they're clear, concise and full of info. I noticed you haven't posted in a few years and hope your move went well. I'll keep checking on the channel to see if you upload more. Peace!

I thought about to have a wooden wall least 1meter before the the entrance as they fly very fadt out and in 35km/hour and if theres a road with people ke walking its not so nice neither fir the bees or the walking people to do that impact. If thwre us a hight wall the bees quickly kearn to go up first and theres no oroblem.

Loved your vid, especially the close ups! I lost all 5 hives in early Oct, a big surprise, as they seemed fine in late Sept, and I had treated them 2ce in the year for varroa - with Formic Pro. I’d be interested in why you seem to have some doubts about FPro.

The bees are very clean. This was after the winter. They’re cleaning up after eating a sugar cake we added to the hive. It was resting on wax paper.
