I mean watch some nature documentaries about honey bees in tree hollows. They cluster. It’s a natural response that’s why they do it. They come from warmer climates in Southern Europe, Northern Africa and parts of Asia. Clustering is a defence mechanism against colder than normal temperatures for them our North American winters are unusual for them by their very nature. I understand you are a salesman everyone needs to make money I get that but atleast have a moral compass. I’d much rather buy a styrofoam hive if you’d be more honest about it and not spew cherry picked information from studies.
@kinnibeesАй бұрын
The studies are linked in the video. I only sell them because they are better for the bees.

That’s a good way to kill a Queen by not testing the marker first on a surface. A big glob of paint can come out and coat most of her body.

I was reading the comments below an I saw where someone ask you about what kind of a hive you have . Well your answer was that it is a hive you are building an you said also it is patented pending . Well My question is how can you build these an patent them when there is someone else that has been building hives that what little I can see of yours looks like his an he has been building them for years and years an years ???. Also I bet you were glad the queen was not on those first frames because you rolled the crap out of those bees . 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

An opening 2 inch tall and 2 inch wide is 4 square inches. Multiply height times width. So 1/2 inch height times 4 inches long equals 2 square inches.

I know the bees are going to be more defensive this time of year, since they're busy getting ready for winter. Thank you for this video, as I know it will be helpful when I get into the hive.

Hi, i'm seeking an advice on a swarm cells situation. I had a split 6 weeks ago (late May) and added a new queen to the new hive like 3 weeks ago (June 22). However upon checking last Sunday I found that the new split hive has created some swarming cells. I pinched them and checked back yesterday and I see new ones. What do you think is the best course of action I should do?
@kinnibees2 жыл бұрын
If they are in a Nuc I would put them in a 10 or 8 frame. Otherwise, I would add space. If that doesn't work, I would re-queen if it was me.
@louieb59132 жыл бұрын
@@kinnibees Appreciate your response. The hive had a lot of space (2 deep and 2 supers). I decided to split by taking the queen and a deep box into a new hive. I'll keep checking to see if they original hive would raise a new queen.

@noahriding57802 жыл бұрын
Just found your channel and wishing you success with bees. I did have a question; Is there any reason you can't just use normal latex (inside) paint on the boxes if you do multiple layers? I hear people talking about primers and then the outer coating, and nobody can tell me if there's really much chemical difference between primer and the outer paint. But this is complicated by the fact that because bees are fairly expensive I have to use whatever paint is available. And often its left over primers and stuff. So I don't really know if there's really much difference between how the two kinds of paint are made? Plus, why is it that sometimes dirt sticks to boxes after painting (long after the paint is dry)? I'm in a dry western state that gets a bit of dust in the air. And for some reason some boxes seem to have the dirt stick on. And I'm not sure why, or if there's a way to keep the paint nice?
