Great video. Until I watched this, I thought that I had put my super on too soon as I only installed an overwintered NUC a few weeks ago and they still have loads of room in the brood box, thanks.

These are great videos. Hoping this crappy weather improves soon. Thanks for the job list!

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Thank you. Your right. Getting a bit worried on store levels of some of the bees.

[@Aldrahill]

Looking forward to a nice full season this year. Sadly, bad weather is due here in Kent, so going to hamper my OSR harvest :/ We actually did a split last week on our biggest hive, first proper artificial split ever done, keep wanting to open them up to check out of nervousness!

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Sounds like it’s all under control. Nothing to gain checking then Intill 7 days has passed.

[@Aldrahill]

@@gwenyngruffydd Yeah they're all good, I'm just over eager - I used to keep the hives in the cathedral grounds and I couldn't look at them easily, but now that all of my hives are in the back garden, I can see them right there! I just want to go and play with them :P Next job is to do some queen rearing to replace one hive's queen with another stock, as she's red, so getting on in years.

[@paulmacdonald723]

Amazing videos, do you have any videos on setting up bait boxes?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Will be filming one covering that very soon.

Thank you Darrell 😊

[@joemurphy9974]

What’s the best strategy for stopping the bees refilling the frames of comb you eventually want to remove and replace with foundation? Move them to the edge?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes move them to the edge. 😊👍🏻

[@annyastephens-boal8724]

Great content, as usual, Gruff - diolch yn fawr :-)

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Thanks Annya, glad you like the videos 😊

[@jamesparslow3828]

When you replace individual frames what do you do if they need replacing but have brood in them?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Great question. Move them to the end of the box let the brood emerge. the queen normally doesn’t lay as much on the end frames so you’ll have very little brood in them.
