Apimaye ERGO Plus Beehive | Beekeeping Equipment Review

[@duanevonbargen7516]

I started with Apimaye last year. I love these things.

[@BohemiaBees]

It’s our first full year with a larger test and so far very positive

[@MKIV2JZGT]

FYI. The top latch is there for when you have your feeders or the queen excluder removed and the bottom latch is there for when the feeders or queen excluder present. 👍

[@BohemiaBees]

Good to know. Thanks

[@MKIV2JZGT]

You are most welcome.

[@gallowaylights]

​@@MKIV2JZGTwow! I was wondering

[@KajunHomestead]

I HAVE 6 OF THE NUCS AND THEY ARE GREAT FOR MATING NUCS, YOU NEED TO GET A GOOD LOCK FOR YOUR TRAILOR,

[@BohemiaBees]

I do. This is in a secure area of my property. The other thing about these trailers is it has a custom Jack to lift it to raise the stabilizers. So unless you have that jack you wont be able to move it.

[@gallowaylights]

FIRST....thank you for bee content!😊

[@davidlewis4179]

I'm curious about the dual Nuc concept. Does the closeness of the entrance to both side be an issue? I've been on the upside down teacup team. I.e. no upper ventilation. So is there a way to block off the upper ventilation? In my LLHs the bees closed off the ventilation I gave them so now I don't bother giving them ventilation. I do give them 2" foam over them year round. I like the trailer. I've been thinking about doing that with one of the Harbor Freight trailers with LLHs.

Jason, are you sure you don’t own the Apimaye company? lol That’s a great looking setup!

[@BohemiaBees]

Lol 😂 not even close.

That pollination card layout/design is very cool. I was thinking about adding a couple of contingency nucs next spring as I just lost a hive after a failed re-queening. I tried adding a frame of eggs into it from my other hive but the queen didn't return. A couple of contingency nucs would be perfect right now. :) I might be reaching out to you for some equipment. I'm wondering if maybe an Apimaye would be a good choice to be able to overwinter in a nuc.

[@BohemiaBees]

I overwintered a late season swarm in an Apimaye nuc this past winter. I think it’s great for that purpose.

[@lagrangebees]

I really like the Apimaye hive, Insulation is REALLY usefull (especially for Canadian winters) but I can't justify spending this much on boxes :(

[@BohemiaBees]

It’s definitely an investment. But long term I believe they will outlast some of my woodenware. So there is that long term cost savings. Along with a better winter survival rate ( hopefully) that adds to the cost savings also. So yes it’s an expense up front but long term should work itself out.

[@MKIV2JZGT]

The pollination video was last year and you said you would be doing a follow up video shortly after, strictly on the pollination trailer. Are you still going to to do that video?

[@BohemiaBees]

I’ve got the content. But never finished editing. Then other videos and jobs got moved as a priority. I still want to finish it just need to do it.

[@MKIV2JZGT]

It is good to know you actually started and in editing process will be looking forward to your as usual informative video. 👍

[@HaleHives]

Nice video Jason. Wow, you must have taken out a home equity loan for a whole set of nucs and 10 framers!! 🙂 Do I look too Green?

[@BohemiaBees]

Lol 😂 it takes money to make money. I put all profits back into the business to help it grow.

[@AranMiller]

Where did you get your smoker? I've been trying to find a short one with a cage on the bottom to not melt the lids of my hives but I can't find one like that. Also, I'm in MD so able to drive to pick it up if it's local.

[@BohemiaBees]

We sell them but they are currently out of stock. Hope to have more by 2nd week of august. Message us [e-mail] to coordinate stopping by for a visit.

[@amfarmsllc5624]

Nice job, Jason. I have had their tops, bottoms, feeders for years. Used them with the wooden ware. This year I bought their seven frame nucs as well. I’m right at about 85 hives and think I am going to order some more ten frame complete hives like you did. I too have a trailer that I haul some bees to our family land just to help with some crops for my nephew.

[@BohemiaBees]

Awesome. It’s my second year testing the Apimaye products and I really like their quality.

[@amfarmsllc5624]

@@BohemiaBees I agree. My thoughts are you get what you pay for. Quality, durability, cleanliness. One shop type product..as in, I have everything in one package!
