@divynerosehealing8546 I do wish that were the case but unfortunately bees don't work on vibes. Yeah, generally, if you're calm and all circumstances are ideal, they'll ignore you. But if, say, their queen has died, and you get too close, it doesn't matter how calm you are. They'll still come for your eyes. Part of respecting bees is understanding that they don't think like we do. And there are loads of beekeepers on KZbin who make very clear videos with veils on, because they understand that vibes and respect won't stop bees from misunderstanding intent.

Really well done vlog Laryssa! I have taken your online class and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. I am reading the book honeybee democracy, which seems very comprehensive so far. I am suffering from option paralysis. I made a top bar hive, because they seemed simple to build, but then I didn't want to start without foundation, and then winter got here, so I disassembled the hive. I also have an unassembled langstroth long hive (Leo Sharashkin, MO) that I think I want to use, because I am over 50, and will be managing supers by myself. I'm just new to know what I want to do first. 😊 Thanks for being encouraging. 2024- year of the honeybee!
@BeekeepingMadeSimple Жыл бұрын
If you're getting overwhelmed with the options and what to do, my recommendation is to start with a regular langstroth style beehive and if a box is too heavy to lift, just take as many frames out as you need to in order to make the box light enough to lift. In spring time and fall the hive will be small and light and you don't have to pick up anything heavy when it's just one box. With just a few hives, it doesn't add too much time to your inspections. Then you can just follow along with the online class and not worry about learning other options and figuring what to do. I'm always available via email to answer questions! Then in a couple years, if you have more than a couple hives and want to try it out, you can switch to long langstroth hives (or do half langstroth hives and half long langstroth) and use the same frames and foundation and sell any equipment you don't want anymore. Then your only worry is figuring out how to overwinter the long langstroth which should be a manageable thing to research as an experienced beekeeper. If you don't want to invest in more equipment, since you already have a long langstroth you can use that, put your frames and foundation in and just follow along with the class for everything else. You'll just have to research later on about overwintering those hives.

Newer studies suggest clustering is not a healthy behavior for bees and should be prevented by keeping the box as warm as possible using blankets, insulation, etc
@BeekeepingMadeSimple Жыл бұрын
Interesting. Could you please share with me where I can read one of these studies? I'm curious what strains of honey bees they studied. There are strains of African honey bees that are more aggressive and prone to swarming often. But then there are Russian honey bees that evolved with the varroa mite and are in a very cold climate. I wonder if these different types of bees deal with cold and clustering differently. Also, there comes a point at which, even though it is better for the bees health to heat the cluster instead of letting them make their own heat, we are now making honey bees completely dependent on humans for survival which is not exactly a good thing. There is something to be said for letting the stronger hives that can withstand the stress of the cold to survive as opposed to keeping every hive alive through the winter. Don't you think? I stress to my viewers in a lot of my videos that honey bees swarm about 1-3 times in the wild and this is to account for a 50% hive loss or more that happens with more feral hives. I do not believe it is the job of the beekeeper keep every hive alive, no matter their genetics. At that point, we're interfering a little too much and might not help the bees in the long run. As a beekeeper you have to be able to accept that not every colony will survive and it is not always at the fault of the beekeeper.

@BeekeepingMadeSimple9 ай бұрын
Thanks! You can definitely try to attract a swarm. Whether one comes is dependent on whether there are bees in your areas that will be swarming and they find your swarm trap attractive enough. you can set up swarm traps or buy them. You can also contact whoever would be called when someone has a swarm of bees they want removed. That might be your local fire department, police department, pest control company or big beekeeping company. I gave the local pest control company my number and they sent a lot of people my way when they got calls for swarms. Most of these calls are to remove an established colony from their home which is much more difficult to do especially as a beginner beekeeper, but sometimes it was for a swarm.

If you do not prevent swarming by making sure there is space in your brood boxes, your bees will swarm and can go any number of places including a building, shed or tree. They have a knack for going exactly where you don't want them to. That's why I strongly encourage people to prevent their bees from swarming as much as possible, especially if your bees are in a residential area. Rural areas are best. That being said, it is not common for bees to swarm and make their new home so close to the original hive. They usually go a little bit further away.

no, you should not paint the beeswax coated boxes. However, if the beeswax coating starts to chip off, then you should coat it with paint or some other non toxic coating that is suitable for outdoor use.

I like to watch beekeeping videos, but one thing I have been wondering about: why do most, but not all, beekeepers put a brick or rock or something heavy on the lid? Those lids look heavy and solid, so I don't think a gust of wind would knock it off so what is the purpose?
@BeekeepingMadeSimple11 ай бұрын
hah! It is not necessary to put something on your lid unless the hive is small and you are using a migratory lid. The telescoping outer covers are pretty heavy and shouldn't come off unless you are expecting really strong winds. A rock on the hive lid sometimes reminds the beekeeper that they just opened that hive. If you have a lot of hives in your yard, sometimes you forget where you started and which ones weren't opened yet or you use a rock to remember which hive needs something added to it.

Good question! It is not easy. There are people making it work for them. A long langstroth hive is what I would recommend because you use the same frames which makes it easy to inspect a hive, but there are no boxes to lift. Other than that, you'll also want to be able to be outside in the sun wearing a hot suit for at least an hour in the summer time and be able to harvest honey. Usually people only harvest once a year, so if you can recruit someone to help you that one day, have an extra suit for them and just have them help you carry the honey frames into your house. Honey is heavy! The best thing to do, if you can is join a local association and shadow someone. I just joined a local assoc near me and they have a shadow a beekeeper program. Or look for an apiary or bee assoc that has an in-person class (if they use top bar hives it'll be even better). DEpending on where you live, you should also look into having mason bees. you don't open up and inspect their hive, but you still get to observe them coming and going from the hive and that's one of my favorite parts of having a beehive.

Some townships have rules on how close a hive can be to your dwelling. Other than your town's laws, you want it far enough away that the lights from your house won't affect the bees and they'll be far from where people and pets are walking. If you have a heavily wooded backyard, that could be 50' away from the house. If your yard is a big lawn, then they'll need to be as far away as possible or where you have a line of trees to put them next to.

Would it be alright to get just one colony?
@BeekeepingMadeSimple2 ай бұрын
It's harder when you have just one colony. Usually, when you buy bees, one colony will be kind of weak and the other is average or strong. So when you have just one colony, you never know what you're going to get. Since it's your first year, you also don't know what "normal" is. With more than1 hive, you can at least compare your hives to each other. Also, if one hive has a problem and needs help, you can take resources like honey or baby bees from the other hive to help them out. If both hives are struggling, then you can combine them with the hope you can save at least one. Unfortunately, with just one hive, the odds are against you that they'll survive a full year.

What would be the estimated investment for this business
@BeekeepingMadeSimple2 ай бұрын
It depends on what you're looking to sell. There are a lot of possible revenue streams from beekeeping so if you're looking to have a hundred hives and sell honey, the start-up cost is really high. If you're looking to get paid to put bees on properties, then the start-up cost would be a lot less.
