How did the bee adjust after being relocated from a house to a deep super

I always come back and check on hives I have removed a few days later, if nothing else but to release the queen. These days, I like going back in and removing the rubber bands if the comb is secured by then. Unfortunately, once again, I had a small mishap and one section did break away. And for those who are really paying attention, you will notice when I placed it back in the frame, I did it incorrectly. Two mistakes on the same video. Well, mistakes are part of beekeeping, but hopefully we can learn from them and not repeat them in the future.
It's been almost 2 months since this hive was removed from Jack and Sue's beautiful home in Mandeville and I'm happy to report they are doing great. I expect no problems with these bees getting through the winter, and I look forward to splitting them in the Spring. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all.

What a peaceful bunch of bees even after being catapulted across the yard with snapping rubber bands. ;)

[@JeffHorchoff]

You would not know about peaceful bees because of the deplorable condition you keep them housed in. Bees really do care about the house they live in, and it shows in their disposition. Maybe you should invest in some new equipment and see for yourself how enjoyable it is to work with happy bees. Nothing but love brother, God's peace always. Mr. Ed

[@philaandrew100]

They really are calm. Couldn't have cared less that you were messing around in the Hive.

These are very gentle bees and I'm happy to have their genetics here at the abbey. Thank you so much for your support and for following along with all my bee wrangling adventures Phil, it is very much appreciated. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@lewiemcneely9143]

When I read your title where it said 'How did the bee adjust' the 1st thing that came to mind was the old joke about where it said 'How long is a freight train; true or false'. I think you might've missed an 'S' there, Palley and I heard Charley come over with his plane. Happy Jesus weekend to you and Mona and anybody and everybody else and God Bless Yall!

[@dariocavegn4052]

Question. Why are you keeping the queen locked up after moving the bees into the box?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The main reason is for the bees to acclimate to the new hive. With the queen caged, they are most likely, but not always, to remain in the new location getting the comb repaired and prepared for the queen to be released and start laying again.

[@SpyderRTL]

What happens to the brood cells after the bees emerge?

[@kellymoore4517]

The queen lays eggs in it again soon after brood leaves.

[@JeffHorchoff]

After the new bee cleans the cell she has emerges from the cell is either for another egg to be laid in or the storage of pollen or nectar. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

what is the purpose of the hole between the metal top and the wood on the frames? Just insulation/dead air space?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I use it to place feeders on, this way the bees never leave the hive to feed and this practice is very good to discourage robbing from the hive. The video link below shows how I do this. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpene2avmrmArLc

[@peterwagenknecht9797]

I wish to ask why instead of leaving the Queen locked in a Queen cage for three days, donm't you put a small piece of Queen excluder in front of the opening so she can do her job , not leave and the workers can continue to work?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I see no reason why that would not work, however, my consideration is because these bees are stressed out enough from the removal, having an excluder to pass through instead of an unimpeded opening would give them one more thing to stress about. In my opinion, best to let one bee stress, the queen, and since she will be catered to while on lock down not much stress, than to let the majority of bees stress. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I am not advocating any particular way to do it. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Sura 16: AN-NAHL (THE BEE) - Juz' 14 - Your Lord revealed to the bee: 'Build your homes in the mountains, in the trees, and in what they are building. (68) Eat every kind of fruit, and follow the easy ways of your Lord. ' From its belly comes forth a drink (honey) of many hues in which there is healing for people. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who reflect. (69) Allah created you, and causes you to die. There are some of you who, after knowing something, will be kept back to the vilest state of life, knowing nothing. Allah is the Knowing, Powerful. (70) In your provisions Allah has preferred some of you above others. But, those who have been preferred do not give their provisions to those whom their right hand possess so that they might be equal therein. What, do they vainly disbelieve the favor of Allah? (71)
