Love your videos! All my hives I built and most of my frames! I was interested in your 2 frame boxes I’ve been struggling with either using my 6 frame boxes for splits or building 2 frame boxes!

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

I don’t know how much longer I am going to be using those two frame NUCS I am thinking about making a 3 frame NUC and seeing how it works out for me. Thanks for watching I appreciate your support very much.

I cut a lot of pieces of wood over the last few days for lids, feeder shims and bottom boards. I got some plywood decking off my buddies pontoon for the lids and bottom boards. Thanks Mark!!!

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

I use whatever I can get buddy. It saves me some money. Hope you all are doing well my friend.

[@Outdooracademe]

Excellent video Mark. I really enjoyed learning more about the hives.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Thanks for watching I am trying to be more informative on my videos because I know that some people that are watching my KZbin videos don’t have bees and they find it interesting what goes into beekeeping.

Great update and tips Mark, it’s going to be another hot summer so stay hydrated.

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Yes it is I got to hot on that last hive and it made me feel a little bit sick. Thanks for watching my friend.

Man, that colony at 9:35 is a propolis machine. .

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Yeah I have a couple of them like this. It fascinates me how each hive is different in some way or another. Thanks for watching Brian I appreciate it buddy.

Hay brother, i hope your good lady is stronger, better🦾🫂🙏🎉 i absolutely ❤ honey..its full of magical properties...but here the bees are dying in mass numbers. We are surrounded by those tall metal contraptions, using frequencies that are killing the insects. This year ive seen probably 20 bees in my garden,( my garden is full of flowers) yet no bees. No squashed bugs on the cars either, on nobodys cars...they are clean from the summer bugs..its got nothing to do with having two very close proximity tall metal things, and another 14 others in my town alone, not counting the ones on top of tall buildings..and the insects are the first step in the chain...🐝🐝🐝🍯🍯❤

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it. We don’t have any of those tall metal things around here yet and I hope we never get them here. I know what you are talking about and as of right now we don’t have them here.

[@jackrussell1960]

[@jackrussell1960]
