Beekeeping: Inspecting An Unusual Hive

[@CodyMcGuire-in3kj]

Thank you for all you do!!

[@ildarmingazov2304]

Hey there! I never saw before the round hive It's strange and amazing the same time. Thanks a bunch David! Take it easy!

00:06:30 It's so awesome the bee keeping manual still has pages missing 😂

[@jayglosser2014]

David, great to see the round hive doing well. If you had mites how would you treat this hive - which method?

[@brendawydeven2934]

David, look up kozahive. It's a round hive, longer and has leggs. I think you will find it interesting.

I did not know the term "wash boarding", but I did observe the action and thought they were running vacuum sweepers to collect spilled pollen. At least, that's what it looked like. 🐢

My dad says "discombobulated".

[@billyboy952]

what a mess!😮😮

[@Krullfath]

Do you have any flow hives, and what is your opinion on them?

[@thegrumpytexan]

Seems like a big pain in the neck.. not something you could even put an excluder on either, at least not a traditional one. On the brighter side, I had a swarm just magically "move in" to one of my empty hives this morning! I didn't do anything other than just show up at the right time to notice them. Time will tell if they stick around.

David! I have a queenless hive with 1 virgin queen hatched but i’m positive her mating flight will be unsuccessful because it’s my only hive and there’s no other colony’s in my area. How should I introduce a new queen into the hive with her being in there?

[@Pilotman28]

Why have you not looked into transplanting the round hive into something you can work easier?

[@beek]

Because I'm just doing this as an experiment to see if I let them be, how will they do. I have plenty of hives in Langstroth equipment.
