Beekeeping | Uh Oh Comb In The Wrong Place Upon First Inspection

[@traviscorriveau2998]

Hello David and great looking hive! I believe your queen made an appearance at 16:33 you can see her head and the thorax slightly up and right of center. She is dead center at 16:44 and as you move the frame she comes into better view at 16:36 near bottom left of the video. You kind of point at her at approximately 16:41 when you move your hand back to the edge of the frame 🙂

Thanks David, Great video.... sure does make me want those Winter Be Kinds!!!

[@dgdeckard]

Love your videos! I’m in N TX, 65 miles N of Dallas. I’ve successfully overwintered my first three colonies in 10 frame single deeps/no supers. Very strong population, 8+ frames of bees. None of my bees have been checked or treated for varroa. Last Sunday, I uncapped six drone brood pupae to find zero varroa. I’m so surprised! I found nine queen cups in one hive! We have tons of elm pollen coming in since February, plus henbit and a few others. Nectar is beginning to flow, just a little. I’m going to add supers and feed to get them drawn out. I’m heading into my 12th month of beekeeping. Fingers crossed. Swarm season is coming very soon for us.

Great video. It really helps to watch you do inspections ! I'm anxious to be able to open mine after this cold winter. Still need to wait a month or so. Thank you !

[@dawnperry9141]

Very helpful video! It just occurred to me that I haven’t heard what type of bees you have. I will be starting with Italian bees in May.

[@beek]

I do not think since bees are haplodiploidy that we really can say this queen is Italian or Carniolan. Queens open air mate with 20 plus drones from who knows where. I raise my queens based on characteristics. Studies have shown queens are really a mixture of many points of origin.

[@KevinCWall-ct5sm]

Thank you very much. Your presentations are VERY GOOD. You have helped me.

[@markcross3629]

David, Pulled the Winter-be-Kind today and started the Famous David Burns Feeding system! Looking forward to seeing great results. Will do my first inspection on my first day over 50 degrees.

[@TexasBeekeeper]

Hive is looking great! Thanks for sharing!

[@tthomson1006]

I’m soooooo happy you gave the 50% off on the beekeeping classes. I got mine!! I’m planning on starting beekeeping next spring!! I have already started watching the 1st video. You are a great teach this far😊 I can’t wait to see how things go!!

[@glorianelson6468]

Awesome that you took this that far so we could really see the home of the hive. Thank you. Great job

[@dianesilas4243]

Hello. Great video. What were the large white things on frame 5 on the bottom of the frame at 15:38?

[@christinecontelmo9264]

I just received my new frame holders and 2 more of your Burns Bees feeding system. Thanks for sharing your links below. I’ve purchased quite a few various items over time. Can you perhaps share another Bee Team Six Mentor video with us? I enjoyed the older one with Patrick a while back.

[@patrickconnolly2899]

Hi David looks like you may of put the queen on the ground with your WBK just looks like a lot of bees stayed with her .Its nice to see you bee happy.🍀😎

[@glorianelson6468]

I am so excited here in mid Wisconsin to see what I have out there

[@dgdeckard]

Well done. Can the WBK help bees overwinter to out-breed mites?

[@billyboy952]

David, i only hope all my hives look this good when i do my first inspection soon, great video

[@scubarami]

Awesome video thanks- am I going crazy or did the queen show up at 5:22? When you were using your hand to focus the camera?

[@scubarami]

Sorry it was a little earlier like 5:12 but on second look I think it was a drone

[@beek]

I'm going to make a video to answer your question and observation! Was that the queen or not?

[@billryan3943]

you said you have screen bottoms and the bees come through fine. up here in northern wis. we roll through winter witha lot of 25 to 30 below. tomorrow morning will be near zero. do you think screen would be good here?

[@RichardSmith-dh9tb]

David, Congrats on reaching 80k subscribers. great video as usual. ( Inner covers? What inner covers? I don't have no inner covers. I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN INNER COVER! ) LOL. BTW I really like your comb lights.

[@18thCenturyArms]

Question David! Do you use any pollen traps and collect any pollen. I'm curious about this practice.

[@beek]

I made a video on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnuZmaKZjp6psM0

[@sethshortt4315]

Wow! I am having the same problem you are. Too many bees!! I inspected mine yesterday and there was lots of drone, lots of brood, lots of resources, and probably 7-8 queen cups, no queen cells yet. I would like to do a split but the cooler weather coming next week concerns me. Plus I could not Locate the queen. Just added an empty super to ease congestion. The hive before the super had 2 brood boxes and a shallow supper.

[@nathandyer459]

Hello, I am new to beekeeping but just curious on what you do with the eggs and the comb that you are setting aside in the lid

[@beek]

Disguard. Drones

[@mklmrphy956]

can a hive have too many bees in it? im a newbie here in arizona.love your videos

[@sherryortiz227]

Could the Winter Be Kind be kept til the next year? Store in the freezer?

[@cherylgrisham5142]

David- could you consider doing a video on clean beekeeping tools, smoker, gloves and clothes?

[@skyhighactiondrones5453]

Based on the great condition of this hive, would you be tempted to put another super on at this point?

[@ernestblevins3180]

David I did not see you clean bottom bord . That is my first job coming out of winter.

[@karenziegler6550]

We lost our bees this winter and had a honey super on one of them. The frames are about 75% capped over. Can I harvest this honey. The capped over honey measures about 17% but the uncapped is about 22%

[@hyfy-tr2jy]

You mention that it MIGHT be too early to make splits. Unless you have mated queens to add to a split wouldn't you need Drone brood to already be near emerging to even consider it? I am in KY (south of you) and there is no sign of Drone Brood here yet at all

[@TheUnknownBeekeeper]

If hives had dsyteria, can comb and boxes be burnt ,to kill off harmful stuff?? Or what you suggest to do?? Thanks

[@scubill]

No treatment and great spring build up. Would You consider this Queen for breeding purposes or are there other traits that You are looking for

[@bryanbetournay5557]

👍 Great Job again

[@davidlaing3798]

What is a normal or abnormal amount of dead bees as mine are good cleaners. Since fall about a flat shovel full. Hive is strong out of winter, bringing in a lot of pollen . Should I be concerned?

[@benjaminclegg7109]

could you make a really basic video on how you pack your smoker with burlap so that it lasts a long time and without it spewing ashes/sparks?

[@WolfDragonTamer]

Let's get him to 100k by July 4th!

[@beek]

That's the spirit! Team work. I appreciate the effort!!

[@TimeIsHoney]

Hello from Texas sir!

[@anthonymauceri8919]

Where do you get the winter be kind your hives look great when you have the winter be kind on it

[@beek]

I invented and sell the winter-bee-kinds. I actually am the only one who mixes the ingredients for them. They go on sale from our website August 1st and sell out fast. Here's our link: www.honeybeesonline.com/10-frame-winter-bee-kind-with-candy-returns-aug-1-2022/

[@tthomson1006]

I guessed drones💃🏼🕺🏻

[@taylorarnoux-prost3425]

Great video great content! I just subscribed and i am getting my first bees at the beginning of april im so excited 😆 thanks for all the tips and visuals Jesus is King

[@reck9953]

When you say that a hive hasn’t been treated for mites are you just referring to chemicals treatments…?? No green drone frame and brood breaks?

[@beek]

Correct, no chemicals, no acids, no green drone comb, no queen brood breaks.
