In your opinion is it better to do 3 frame singles like he does. Or do 3 way 10 framers like Chris. Or just do 5 framer?
@bobbinnie98723 жыл бұрын
The three fame nucs in this video used to belong to me. At one time I also had three way nucs like Chris Werner. I didn't care for either of them because they were unforgiving. You have to be on time to collect queens or they blow up on you. For outfits that can stay on schedule they work fine and are easier to find a queen in. If I was focusing on queen production I believe I would use two way mediums. I've used them a little and they would be my choice if producing large numbers. We use five frame deep nuc boxes because of their flexibility. You can grow a nuc to completion for sales or overwinter them in our area.

I’m betting that shed came from Lake City.....maybe Newberry. Bob, we have a dealer close to you, too...in Franklin. He mainly has wood buildings, tho. People in your area tend to buy those more often than the metal sheds, for some reason. Anyway, love The videos. If you ever see a Handi House truck parked out front of your store, it’s just me picking up some supplies or something. Hope to see you soon.

You purchase honey to meet demand instead of adding more bees. What is the calculation of number of hives vs purchase honey? Meaning at what point does it pay to add more colonies or purchase bulk honey. Great video, this is such rare content.
@bobbinnie98723 жыл бұрын
I don't think I could come up with an equation for that. The deciding factor for me is that in our area it's hard to come up with the type of labor that could make more bees profitable.

hey bob....quick question.....im having a tough time banking queens. I banked 11 mated queens in a queen right double nuc with queen excluder ...I put roller cages with queens above the excluder in-between 2 frames of open brood....opened up today and all queens dead. Cant figure what im doing wrong?....and I guess you cant bank virgins too easily either....thank you sir!!!
@bobbinnie98723 жыл бұрын
It may be a virgin queen problem. I've never tried to bank virgins. I've generally had good luck with mated queens over an excluder although we usually try to use a queen-less unit for banking.
