Can anyone explain too me how smoke works on bees, did some one end up trying too blow smoke up someone's backside and a beehive happen too be near by and they calmed down or did the bees see someone's huge backside and they decided we will remember this for all time

Often times this time of year a Quick Feeds is best.😁

Awesome 👍😃 nice central frames for the bee's to move up into as the cold weather progresses. Spring has taken a holiday and winters reefing through the fridge again, another dump of wet snow in the weekend 😬 the blasted flowers are opening up everywhere but the darn weather is up and down and all over the shop but it's supposed to be two weeks of hot weather blowing across from Australia instead of up from Antarctica so it's looking a little more positive for us down here. Got more snow this spring than we've had snow for the last five winters 😳😅 that's the way it goes

great video, I would have checked your bottom brood box for swarm cells though

I pulled a frame of drawn foundation out of a honey super today to space it to 9 frames, took off my veil and realized it was laid up with eggs😂 rushed back and put it back in 😅

I am noticing there are 3 things kind of common in beekeepers. 🤔Beards, Balding and a Love for Honey Bees.😂Thanks for sharing Blessed Days...

Hope you found her👍👋😃

Cool👍 you guys are about to take a holiday for winter and we are firing up 😂 got a win this year, we have a introduced tree called sycamore that grows wild on the river bank and it really heavily flowered this spring, took me ages to figure out what they were getting nectar off😂 thyme flowering is a week away and I don't have to worry about the dreaded gap this year, we get a two week gap usually between the willows ending and the thyme nectar starting and it can really stuff things up when you're trying to build up for the thyme honey flow but not this year😁👍👋

Sorry I just have to say that is a very respectable beard.😁Looks like they are working good for ya, oh SHB's suck. Thanks for sharing, Blessed Days...

Great stuff 😁

Awesome 👍😃

👋 my ten cents is to unite them but there's a danger, if they're carrying anything disease wise, you'll introduce it into whatever hive you put them in, if you have a low population colony I'd add them to it and keep a eye on it. Looks like a virgin cast swarm, they're quite small usually, they may have lost her or you missed her picking up the bee's. Easy to do. Feed them a little syrup so they get tanked up then shake them out in front of the colony you want them in, don't drop them directly into the hive, they'll beg they're way in if they have food in them. God bless 😃👍👋

Nice little swarm.👍

Nice 👍😁 Mr Ed and Good time Charlie will have cut out competition now 😂. of course being a southern New Zealander 🙄 I've got to put my ten cents worth in.🤦 If you use a full depth box with some drawn comb with your foundation frames and a frame of brood if you can spare one, to capture the swarm, you'll have a easier time of it getting the swarm in the box, then transfer them to a nuc if you like when they've settled down. Having comb allows foragers to start gathering resources immediately, encouraging the swarm to stay put, having a frame of brood makes them even more reluctant to abandon the box. Put the queen catch in between the brood frame and a drawn comb frame and the bee's will be attracted into the box, they'll all march in by themselves, it's pretty cool to watch. A swarm that small I'd double screen board over a strong colony, I think Bob binnie if you follow his channel has a video about using double screen boards and making one if you don't have any, I think Mr Ed has some on them too, I'm sure I've seen him use them on his channel, I use them with splits especially now in spring when the weather is up and down, I have all my splits above other colony's on double screen boards ( we call them snelgrove boards, it's a British beekeeping technique originally) Great stuff, pleased for you 👍👋✝️🛐 Free bee's 🐝😁 oh lol drop as much of the swarm as you can into the box first, if you find the queen, great, but most times you don't unless you're Mr Ed of course 😂 just drop the bee's in there and if you got the queen the rest will work into the box 👍👋

Cool 👍😃

Tracy's awfully brave I'm glad to see you got a new hive

😁Grats👍

I Saw the light

Hope you didn't get too badly knocked around by the storm, we don't have hurricanes but we get bad storms from the south that come up from Antarctica and the southern ocean and slap us around. The last one a week ago was a doozy, wet snow, broken tree's, neighbor who has a camping ground had a tree top and large branch about 2 ft wide break out and slam a occupied caravan, the guys ok but his caravans totalled, theyve had to lend him a caravan they own so he's got somewhere to live, it was a bad one. My Bee's are sheltered so they are fine.

How do you check for them to be in there?

Now that is a respectable beard.👍New Sub, Thanks for sharing.

00:13:20 Back breaking 😂

Nice, plenty of stores and nice slabs of winter bee's ready to hatch out👍 looks like your winter prep is going well 😁

Not EXACTLY where youd want them to move into 😂

It's always a great practice to observe the bee's activity at the front of the hive for at least a couple of minutes before you open up, it can tell you a lot about what is going on with your colony's 👍😁

I love nature so much, and I love Jesus so much,he died on the cross for our sins

A hobbyist I'm helping left apivar strips in his hives for five months and they'd melted right in against the foundation 😂 that was interesting 😅 gotta get those strips out on time 👍😁

Nice 😊

thank you god for skibidi toilet

Cool😃👍 nice looking location and hive.

That wonky stuff is different, i see a lot of it with people who use black plastic foundation, which is the only type of plastic foundation we get in New Zealand. Personally im a traditionalist, i use full deeps for everything and wood frames with wired wax foundation but very occasionally i see the odd frames drawn weirdly too😂 great video 👍 God bless 😃👋 nice to see beekeeping in other parts of the earth 😁

Hi from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋 i copped a beauty from a hobbyists hives fixing a problem for him and wearing a borrowed veil, a couple of months ago ( our winter). He was running single brood management with a queen excluder betwixt the brood box and a honey super so i had to yank the excluders out before he lost queens in all three hives. New beekeeper this year so easy mistake to make if you're learning. Final hive, i got one sting and She got me in the eyeball 😂 im not kidding , she actually stung me in the eye😂 getting that sting out was a interesting experience😵‍💫🐝😬😂 funny now though. Unfortunately I was called too late for two of the colony's, the queens were already dead but saved the third👍 just about to do splits for him in a week so he can get back to where he was👍 great video 👍👋 thanks and God bless 😃

Why no queen excluder?

That's a lot of bees

Saving the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!

Guy works for Dana! 🎉
