Our first year using an Ezyloader and escape boards for the entire pull. I’ve lifted maybe a total of 12 heavy boxes so far, on 1000 hives pulled. I’ll never go back to tipping again

Hello. I really liked your video. It's very interesting. I would like to ask you about that box that you place on the second box. That is, the first boxes are nuclei, then there is the queen excluder, then the second box, and then there is that box with tips lying horizontally. I have the feeling that they are real cells, but I prefer that you clarify it for me.

What variety of sunflowers does your farm grow? I have planted them several times before and my bees wont touch them. They get covered by bumblebees and that is it.

Is it worth to move a nuc box ( nucleus colony or starter colony ... I didnt know that so including the definition 😀 ) into a standard brood box adding extra honey frames or more insulation to the sides for wintering? Would that help the box retain more latent heat through winter and hence help the bees survive the cold longer ?

As long as the loader is level with the brake on. We had trouble with the pin sticking. The actuator only pushes the pin in but doesn’t pull out on ours.

You’d think the guys engineering these types of things would know about the sticking pin at the main post and develop either a larger mechanism to pull back the pin or something

I much prefer sunflower honey over oilseed rape/canola, which tastes of cabbages to me, as well as setting like concrete if you let it sit for a week, which is ok in the jar but disastrous in the comb. Ivy also sets solid but tastes better, heather honey is great but not worth the additional cost of purchase or collection unless you have moorlands local enough to easily manage a yard from home.

The canola honey would have to be mixed with something else as the taste is very much of cabbage. It granulates rapidly in the comb when removed from the hive. I guess you extract quickly.
