Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you

Thanks for your content. I have learned more this year from watching your videos and putting your fundamentals too use in my bee yard than I have the last 4 years combined. I lost all of my hives last year. But this year I was able to turn 3 nucs into 10 hives.

[@Jane-L.S.]

I'd like to share with you what works for me. I had just one small cup of worker bees and a queen to start with. No drawn out frames of comb. I quickly waxed the foundations I had with plenty of wax on them. Put all in the hive along with a gallon of 1 to 1 with pollen supplement. The hive did thrive.

[@conloncarabine6110]

Great content David!!! So much to get done in July, get the rest of my supers off, treat for mites, start to make splits and fix queen issues. Your content is always timely and pertinent. We missed you at the IL state convention in Quincy. Still a good event, but missed your wisdom there!

[@CatSayHmmmm]

Thank you for always having a bee video that answers the exact question that I have!

[@hornesbee]

Great advice !! Thank you, James

[@beek]

Glad it was helpful James

[@brianbennett4374]

Good stuff thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@thomaskoppenhaver2758]

Excellent video, thanks David!

[@robgarvin5634]

thank you David this video was awesome. I was concerned about this. thanks for your knowledge

[@bandit3456]

great video. This is something my wife and I have discussed making comb. Thanks

[@stonemad35]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a first year, so haven't seen much yet, this was very helpful.

[@UShehzaad]

Thanks boss. Your videos are really amazing. Watching your videos from Kashmir India.

[@scotthenderson4376]

Great info thanks for the education helps so much

[@michaelfortney7510]

Great info Dave. Very helpful and informative.

[@bobyoung803]

Can u add wax to the frames will it help them

[@beek]

Yes I’ve made many video about how to do this. Here’s one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b168oaWEqN9lb8k

[@champinsoccer9]

My bees seem to be having trouble with the black foundation .. i see most of your big frames are yellow. Do you put a layer of wax on the yellow ones? Or are they just better to use ? Thanks for your video

[@Daithi_P]

Great video. One question, when you add a new queen from the mating nuc what do you do with the rest of the bees from that mating nuc, do you add all of those bees as well and at the sametime as the new queen? Thanks

[@VidKatMA1]

Good Info as, just today, I added a Hybrid Flow Super to my very Beezy Swarm Colony 😊 BUT, of course, I don't wanna feed with a Super on. Arg

[@Bluegrass45]

Thank you!

[@jerry4256]

Any reason why you squeezed the frames together to one side?

[@TerryRomanko]

Is it my imagination, or was the queen we saw in this video on the small side? Reminded me of a relatively newly emerged queen after a swarm, supercedure, or split. Is it possible this hive is on the back end of a queen replacement, and she is a virgin or newly mated, but not laying yet?

[@LIBeekeeping]

Thanks David im having that issue with 1 colony.

[@chadmcclelland7287]

Is it a good idea to replace the queen in July? Could she have just shut down to reserve resources?

[@eugenesimpson-zc1wp]

Did you add the queen also and did you pinch the old queen

[@lindasullivan77]

So does that mean most swarms have a lot of 12 - 17 day old bees to make comb?

[@patgooch1762]

Hey David, I learn a lot from your videos. I'm wondering why swarms are so good at drawing comb when the population of a swarm is older than 17 days, or so i think. Don't bees need to be a little older than17 days to fly. Thanks

[@apveening]

Bees can fly a lot sooner, but usually don't as they don't need to with their age appropriate tasks. A swarm also contains younger bees that only have to keep up with the rest of the swarm, they don't need to navigate by themselves.

[@raleighsistrunk7123]

David, after frames are drawn, how do you preserve your comb? What are your thoughts on using “Xentari” or Bacillus Thuringia aizawai spray? I watched a very interesting video from Back bee broken beekeeping on KZbin. I have used bacillus as a natural spray on my veggies, but was concerned about it with my bees. We would love to hear your thoughts.

[@beek]

In the beekeeping world it's known as B402 Cretan. Bee companies like Dadant sell it for $200 per quart. You can buy it cheaper if you want to mix it yourself. It does NOT kill the eggs. It really has to be ingested by the smaller instar larvae. It's temperature sensitive, meaning it needs to be stored between 41(f) an 68 (f). According to the label you have to wear goggles, gloves, a NIOSH approved particle filtering respirator and correct clothing to cover skin. I just throw mine in the freezer as it kills all stages including eggs. Of course you only use it after you harvest your honey supers and no bees are present just before storage.

[@ghhales]

David I am using frame feeders can I use you bee food with them, or will the pollen settle to the bottom ?

[@jalalmm9]

Hello. What if i add pollen in suger syrop? Is that ok

[@SirSamsStinglessBeehive]

how to increase the population of bees? At what period of time should the bees produce lots of wax?

[@davidpotts3844]

I started a hive mid June with a Nuc Seems like a struggle but they are doing well. Now having soybean flowers. Queen doing well. watch the hive. they were not drawing now they are

[@anthonypeterson3112]

How many lbs of wax are on a medium frame?

[@michaelremsen2002]

You should have considered shaking down the bees to a single deep until your queen gets jiggy on laying. They often shut down if the hive is too large based on the amount of bees present. Saves you from killing a perfectly good queen....

[@mihaicozma4054]

I always draw them on July. Before sunflower they draw them very fast Is not about July or not

[@russellaymond312]

They were calm for a night shake.

[@kennethtitus3879]

I hear you saying that when you add a new frame of brood you have 7,000 more bees, however I have never seen a frame of brood that was completely full, so maybe 5000 bees in reality

[@lynnhughes6350]

I just was scratching my head thinking the same thing …how do I get them to draw out my frames in July ??? Lol…thanks I’ll add some sugar water …1 to 1 or 2 to 1 ? Tell me what do you think …also I noticed your feeder hole was a little larger than your quart jars …go to your local hardware store and purchase a 70 mm hole saw ..it will fit perfect to the small mouth mason jar…
