This is cool. I have a table saw, but I would like to build this because I work in my covered no walls carport. I hate dragging everything out to work. Plus, you did a lot of work making these videos. You deserve the support.

Creamed honey is not whipped honey

Great video. I have Langstroth but thinking about the Layens. I am also foundation-less because I believe foundation is the cause of the mite problem.

You are a ton safer than my husband! Maybe that’s why I didn’t think anything about the way you did things😂. Great videos. No nonsense. I really appreciate that!! Thanks so much.

I am also a big fan of Thomas Seeley. I cannot remember him ever mentioning to hang a swarm trap level. I realize that when we move our bees into their permanent home that we do tilt our boxes forward a bit to let water run out. I will leave my level in my toolbox 😉I LOVE your shim block!! Def using that idea. Thanks for the informative well shot, good audio KZbin videos. Now I will go and check some of your other videos 🐝🌻

You probably already know this, but for those who do not. The Bill was signed into Law by the Governor on 26 June 2021. It was enacted into Law 18 months from that date, so around December 26ish 2022

Thank you for sharing this. Just tried with a small bucket and it was decrystallized in 1h on 104 degrees.

Use just an old refrigerator. Chip, fast

Dude.. the ‘crystallized honey’ IS SEED HONEY.. 😣 thanks for duping me

I used your instructions and built 9 of these catchers and installed them in different places. So far caught 3 swarms. 33% success rate is great, I think. I guess it depends on the place. One spot was a cherry tree next to a creek. I think the bees couldn't resist. Thanks Bill.

It makes me cringe when I see food heated in plastic. The chemicals in the plastic leach right into the food and mimic estrogen in the body. Just fyi.

GOD GAVE US A STRONG EVER EVOLVING IMMUNE SYSTEM TO FIGHT OFF INFECTIONS. THE MORE ANTIBIOTICS AND JABS PEOPLE RUN DOWN TO GET BEFORE HAVING ANY SYMPTOMS WILL WEAKEN THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM OVER TIME. WE THE PATRIOTS HAVE TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK. PEACE...

Can you make these and put foundation in them ?

Hope your well Bill, how's things going with the bees? Not seen any updates for a while Hope your good 🐝🐝🍯

Mites are no. 1 killer of bees period. Getting older I don't need the extra weight. thanks

Nice video and info Bill. What is the reason for the water with the wax? Easier cleanup or brushing on the frames?

Republic: rule of law Democracy: rule of people What are your rights? Where do they come from?

THICKER WALLED HIVE ALSO KEEP THE HIVE COOLER IN THE HOT SOUTHERN SUMMERS AND HOLDS IN THE HEAT BETTER DURING COLD WINTERS. THICKER IS BETTER ALL AROUND. PEACE...

so youre not a bee man eh.... its bee boy.... that scans.... also what about comb in a bucket.. i got a 5 gallon with all my comb chunks in it and it crystalized

How do u bait the trap?

I have been saying these things for decades. Been kicked out of many bee clubs. No treatments or feeds of any kind. The only problems bees really have are bee keepers. ;)

I also turn boards up on sides and screw a board to the bottom of the saw for width I want cut can use this also to tongue and groove. edge of boards.

easier to cut plugs to glue in the ends rather making plunge cuts

How long does the honey stay uncrystalized for? I would think that after it has crystalizes once, it would happen much faster a second time.

Hi Bee Boy Bill! Question - what are the dimensions of your little box? And how much would you increase it in-size if you were going to put a 10 frame medium box up?

How do you feed and treat Layens Hives?

How do you feed and treat bees in Layens Hives?

Ronald Regan once said; "the nine most terrifying words in the English language are" "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"

Ok how you get the seed gee i hate these vdo

Good job keeping your mind right. Sometimes I have trouble loosing my place! I sure was glad to see a different shirt, it takes me two or three times as long on my projects. I thought you were going to get er done all in one day. Blue insulation for spacer was great...... And that break the Bomb!

Thanks there is hope for me yet with out buying every wood working tool.

That's what I say. Keep it simple . I Like this video for just that reason.

Nice bee yard!

It’s normal and standard in Europe, including saturation of hives in the areas, hey it’s livestock you know

Only one question, how thick is that plywood?

Where are you Bee Boy Bill?

Does water get in if you’ve got all your honey in the bottling bucket?

I believe that with cold winters and hot summers, it might be a good idea to create a permanent layer of insulation around the outside of the standard Layen's hive between one-inch framing boards where you add the insulation made of the wool from local sheep farmers. Then have a second layer of siding outside of the entire insulation layer, similar to how we build house walls for humans, but not as thick. I think that one full inch of insulation all around the outside walls is plenty. The key issue is fixing the areas where the bee holes are and any ventilation holes with another layer of the boards and the exact thickness of the space with the hole drilled into those. This way the entire outside of the box is more like the thickness of natural trees, where even in the worst of the cold winters and the worst of the hot summers the bees would not have any problems with the heat or cold. The insulation layer would need to be fully enclosed, glued, etc. so that there is never a problem with infestation..

Your a very good wood worker. How do you think in place of doing all the t&g joints pocket screws were used? Thanks

A fish tank heater would work as well. How many kg are these buckets?

Joel Salatin describes animal husbandry similarly. They stopped vaccinating and initially lost some animals. But now they have animal genetics that are strong and don't need vaccines to thrive.

What is your take on pseudoscorpions for mite control?

What would happen if you put cooker straight into bucket of honey

Did you throw in the towel bro? I really wanted to see how and if these inspections were working or making it worse, and if the inspections can evolve through keepers educating them.

Really nice video. I built my warming cabinet as a chest to hold honey buckets and not individual jars but seeing your video I'm going to turn mine on its end and steal some of your design ideas. I put casters on mine so that it was easy to move and I used flush hinges for the lid(door). Slightly more expensive but far easier to fit. I also mounted the temperature controller on the outside so that if the incandescent bulb fails I can tell due to the drop in temperature.

Not a lot of us Layens Hive bee keepers. Thank you, I enjoy your content.

But, the crystallized honey IS your seed honey..

Why does the honey need to be crystallized for it to cream?

My honey is hard as a rock! 😢 gotta try something...

hi sir I am from Bangladesh 🙋‍♂️ your country name please ❤️
