It's good man 🎉

What are the slat dimensions of this hive?

Do they sting?

Very informative, thank you.

By taking those flow hive frames out an making all that extra space now you know what the bees will do . They are going to make a total mess out of that flow super by building comb everywhere in the wrong places . 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

I have a question. If you do not want the ivy nectar in the flow box then at this point why not just take the flow super completely off an install a regular super . That way you can harvest what ever you have in the flow an all the problems solved. Store the flow box for the next season . That way you do not have to do so much box shifting around. Just a thought .

You haven't even set it up correctly.

and……

Was looking at keeping 8_10 hives here in Australia but I think it's not worth the effort I'll stick to letting someone else do the hard work and give them a couple dollars

What a wanka! That was painful to watch and has no idea😂

doesn't look like a real flow hive

What about making a top bar hive out of this stuff??

flow hives handling of Bowsers Bees was all I needed to see to stay away

what do you use to reduce the bee entry?

yes I agree with you.. And if we're not helping genetics of disease resistant queens we're hurting bees.. but veroa like drones, so any ideas to promote drones and fight veroa? thanks

Do you think this could be used on bee hives like on the outside of wood box’s

Okay, but what are all these called aside from "gadget or product"? As in, the official name of the product and where to purchase it?

Thank You 💕

Very neat

Thanks for this info, very informative. I use bees wax in wig making to coat the thread before sewing.

Great to see your back again

Thanks for sharing this Phil!! It’s called baby oil over here as well.

Your a hoot… no squeaking babies

Dear Phil my mixture Is beeswax and olive oil. Thank you so much for all your great advice.❤

Bee bread tool is so cool.......

Thank you Phil I’m getting ready to bring my new grandson home today and rub him down with a bit of oil and wax to keep him from squeaking. Good information and hope to use more of it.

Do you offer your own beeswax for sale, Phil?

Thanks Phil. Very useful information.

Very interesting,very useful.

Is it possible that the honey absorbs moisture from the hive before capping. ??

Foarte interesant. Multumim. 👍🐝🐝🐝

the males are yellow and black only the females are black and yellow : )

The second tool is called a cell punch, theres a few vids on you tube on the method.. seems like a good method if you are ham fisted like me... or if your hands are too shakey for grafting.

The 2nd tool is called an apple corer, and is available in decent kitchen shops in a variety of styles.

Nice to see you long time hope everything going good

honesty is ALWAYS the best policy, 👍👍

I love your video’s. Do you feed your bees right before fall? I started my hive in April with about 5000 bees, brood, pollen, and comb.

Can you recommend a full bre suit brand?

How does a hinged foof accomodate a super on top of the brood box?

It's clear that Americans don't like these hives - they're cheap, ugly and you can't order them from Amazon... . Thanks for the video. I have learned and applied so much from you over the years.

Mabey just loosen the flow hive frames free of propolis every month or two and check for fully capped frames when normal harvest time is there and turn the key on only the fully capped frames.

2015 Founding Supporter here. Harvested 14 quarts from my original 6 frame Flow yesterday. Didn't kill a single bee. You are far too rough on your bees for my liking. I have never had to remove my frames from the box as you did. Only after removing the entire box for winter have I needed to remove any flow frames for inspection etc... IMHO bee husbandry requires gentleness and kindness. Bees deserve it!

This was hard to watch as a noob. Why no smoke? Who not shake them off why use grass, who no suit from the start you seem to have made them mad 🤣

Hi Phil. Have you got any videos on winter preparation? Thanks

How to smoke bees out of the attic/Utube

Good to see you back making videos! If your looking for a project I'd love to see someone attempting a well insulated Kenyan Top bar hive with thermal mass inside. Cheers. Having a go with polestyrene but not sure how to make it mouse proof
