How to be a beekeeper not a bee-haver

[@nakoolfilms8958]

2:25 " *Honey* , your bees are swarming!" No pun intended?

[@FlowHive]

Lol. Yes :)

[@Sifar333]

I really would like to take care of bees fascinating creatures.

[@shady_fuckwad__4533]

Me too I find it would be a really nice hobby

[@FrederickDunn]

Very Nice! I thought I recognized that stockade fence from other videos :) Glad you had the opportunity to observe a swarm! I hope all continues to go well through winter and that you've learned to listen to your wife :)

[@rtenpin]

Thanks Frederick! I listen to her almost all the time ;)

[@FrederickDunn]

[@idubbzz7790]

would a flow hive be good for a beginner bee keeper just starting out ?

[@kriloxta3000]

I love this video Bobby can't wait to follow your steps

[@millythebee4768]

This is so inspiring. As someone who loves bees, this really warms my heart =) I might be a city girl at the moment, but oh wow someday I will move somewhere beautiful and be a beeKEEPER

[@FlowHive]

Beautiful Emily!

[@santinorulez]

Congratulations to Bobby and also to Flow Hive guys for this great invention but also for such great videos! I have been trying to get in touch with Flow Hive friends since two months now to do the same in Argentina... no luck for time being! Looking forward for an answer ! We are ready to start!!!!

[@santinorulez]

FlowHive that's what I have been doing for the last three months! No way to have some feedback! :(

[@chrisnotap]

If given the chance, will a swarm of bees use a grid of square holes? I hope that's not a stupid question, I'm just curious.

[@melissawoods7524]

Chris Notap+ nombut they would like to biuld smaller hex shaped cells

[@billthompson5644]

what an excellent ,excellent, video thank you for putting out this video. I am a country guy stuck in the middle of a city,a very violent city which I hate. thThank Thank you so much for your videos.

[@FlowHive]

Thanks Bill. I hope you continue to enjoy our videos. - leah

[@Bigwood813]

These videos are great! You've came up with an amazing invention! My 9 year old daughter and I really enjoy watching these. Keep it up.

[@FlowHive]

Thank you. Happy you are both enjoying the videos. :) - leah

[@rtenpin]

So glad to have been a part of this!

[@vinofarm]

Nice, Bob! Glad to see you in this series.

[@FlowHive]

It was wonderful watching your episode. Happy beekeeping :) - leah

[@Peacebestill27]

i still cant believe stretched forth your hand and those bees did not sting u. thats the high point of these video for me and to know they were just swarming is so touching..... i just desire them again. i look forward to the day i will have some in my arms too. thanks flowhive for sharing this vide

[@AnsariBaksh]

I would like to learn more about becoming a bee keeper. How much time would you say is necessary to keep bees (let's say on a weekly basis)

[@jdeking2]

Bob and I are cousins and both of us are beekeepers. I have been keeping bees for almost 30 years. I think beekeeping runs in the family. 40 hives here. Keep up the good work Bob!

[@FlowHive]

Great to read from you Jeff, keep it up and say hello to Bob from us, wishing you both all the best with the upcoming beekeeping season! -Kieran

[@ericred8124]

I can't put my finger on it, but there is this prevailing elitist attitude of "beekeepers" vs "bee-havers". We are trying to promote helping bees in general. Just because someone isn't a "purist" or doesn't go through every meticulous detail of a master beekeeper, does not mean they aren't providing a service to the general bee population. It's really annoying to read some of the comments that take this tone and for some might be extremely discouraging, and in the end providing fewer shelters for these really cool animals.

[@jdeking2]

A master beekeeper is just someone who has to have a paper to prove they know something. It's a relatively new thing that wasn't around 10-15 years ago. That paper and $4.00 now can get you a cup of coffee anywhere. A real master will not brag but pull you under their wings to teach you. It's kind of like those who get a doctorate degree in something and insist on being called a Dr . I think the biggest thing about bee havers vs beekeepers is that bees from bee havers tend to pass on disease and mites to other hives because they are not properly maintained. Going organic with bees just doesn't work and keeps the pest and disease problems growing. Beekeepers treat and bee havers ignore the pestilence. Most of us old timers won't look down on beginners but will teach without arrogance like most master beekeepers. Let the stones fly now!!!

[@vadam4956]

Bob is well done. 👍

[@matkin]

I love to watch your channel! I have been subscribed to you for a long time and you are in my favorites. Thank you for what I have! Greetings from northern Belarus. City Novopolotsk. Your friend Andrew, gardener, grower, beekeeper. I have buckfast and karnika!

[@ultrakool]

hive looks precariously perched on those cinder blocks

[@kriloxta3000]

Bobby you are a star

[@الوفاءالمثالي]

You are doing great job , we sell honey in saudi Arabia since 1986

[@jedibiker1028]

I love honey bees. Its the hornets, wasps/YellowJackets which scare the living crap out of me lol.. Its strange, I'll see a honey bee get stuck in my truck or car, and I'll quickly grab some honey off my toast, and put some on my finger, I'll pull over, and let the honey bee onto my finger and then just place the beautiful girl onto a tree branch. :D Its awesome. :D What breaks my heart is the fact these beautiful bees are in danger of "Colony Collapse Disorder" Which is caused by the Neoocinoids (I think that's the spelling) which is causing the colonies to die off... I want to makes sure my children know where honey comes from... and how much importance these beautiful insects make in our everyday lives!

[@OnyxAgainstTheWorld]

Jedi Biker amen...

[@HaysiKing]

he's been bee keeping 4 months and they already swarmed?

[@Peacebestill27]

and i forgot to mention....... now i truely believe there surely different colors and types of honey that can come from same hive. i was so fascinated as does pipes poured out different colors of honey from same bees and same hive. i had to read up some articles before goin into the business so i got to know this truth but had not yet seen it.i have had to explain this to my customers over and again but i can them cos they dont understand what i understand

[@DidikNice]

I want to have this tool, but what are the initial steps to get the bees to nest? I am really a beginner.

[@MsILISANU]

such a great video! Congrats on your new experiences!

[@FlowHive]

Thank you Mihai - leah

[@DUSTYYLANEBANDLV]

OMG!!! I think I want to... gotta learn more!

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

I feel the same about my bees! Zen...

[@jorjag3732]

love your work

[@myvideodiary7500]

Becoz of Flow Hive, I wanna bee a keeper

[@tanyaratti]

[@FlowHive]

[@emersonpereiramachado]

Thank you in advance for helping me.

[@TAEUSEA-g1o]

Very good brother ❤

[@FlowHive]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

Good for you,well done

[@FlowHive]

Thanks, James.

[@AshleyLebedev]

Do you get stuck when you stick your hand into a hive that’s swarmed?

[@FlowHive]

Hi Ash, I'm not entirely sure what you mean? If you could clarify I can try to answer? - Sam

[@fullspeedaheadbarcelona6502]

What does it mean when rye bees start swarming?

[@FlowHive]

A swarm is the bee colony actively splitting, with almost 2/3 of the colony leaving with the original queen to start a new hive somewhere else, a new queen is left in charge of the remaining bees to restart the colony. Think of it as the bees not keeping all of their eggs in the same basket, its a natural method of spreading good genetics and survival. -Kieran

[@ActualChrist]

sure i'm only 12 but someday i want to be a beekeeper as a full time job

[@alexanp4225]

You can do it!!

[@yancen309]

hi sir, if I use the flow hive technic, when the langstorth is filled the honey, should I harvest too?

[@FlowHive]

Hi Yan, We usually only run a Flow Super or Flow Hybrid Super. If you have a regular langstroth Super you will need to assess how fully that Super is and if the honey is capped. We recommend you ask local beekeepers or your local beekeeping club as they are the best resource for advising on the most suitable beekeeping methods depending on the region and climate. I hope this helps.

[@md.ferozuddin1094]

how much the box is ? how can i get it from Bangladesh ?

[@karianngardenguru]

Your bees swarmed in the first year of having bees? More info please! the flow hive is being discounted heavily by the beekeeping community (myself in this bunch) if you have a new hive and new bees- they should NOT be swarming in 4 months!!!!!!

[@HaysiKing]

Karianngardenguru exactly what I said. I also don't know many knew bee keepers who go gloveless. I've been doing it for a year and my first hive took months to fill a deep super.

[@XxBloggs]

So 4 years later Flow Hive is going from strength to strength and more and more people are getting into beekeeping because of them. Swarming is a normal and natural thing that happens with bees and has nothing to do with the flow hive. I wouldn’t be beekeeping without it’s harvesting technology.

[@kawaljitsingh3119]

Very nice sir

[@MrJain-gi6zc]

Do you also sell honey?

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Damn, that's light colored honey!

[@HBPowerwall]

[@dorinvisan4376]

Super!!! 👍👍👍

[@uyhuonge4807]

excuse me can I put the same type of bee but from different hive into a hive ?

[@FlowHive]

Uyhuo, if you can please email [e-mail] we can assist you.

[@nedflandersdittlie]

[@susanlina1070]

[@jimmyjames1411]

I used to apply pesticides to peoples houses and I was surprised how many people never asked about the chemicals. I was always told to say solutions but they were chemicals. Anyways, not many people really questioned me what was in the chemicals. They'd ask, is it safe? I had one woman who actually asked and did research before buying the extermination package. I was like or I was thinking "you're not going to be comfortable with anything that is used so you may want to try something else". WOuld i use pesticides, yes but I wouldn't spray any pesticides on my plants or food sources.

[@erichaskell]

Please complete the issue "at hand" your bees were swarming , Then you........

[@rtenpin]

...then I climbed the tree they alighted in and I shook them unto a 5-frame nuc.

[@FlowHive]

You can watch Bobby's swarm capturing video in full here on his channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHaydIWYgqaVrpY Thanks Mirabai

[@taz99]

Pop Tart Because they have nothing to protect, then they don't need to sting.

[@ariangx1929]

[@normytafernando2474]

hi..i've subscribed to your channel...i like you vids about beekeeping...i want to learn but i don't know if i can have your flowhive...

[@FlowHive]

Normyta, thank you for subscribing. We are happy to hear you are enjoying our videos. - leah

[@Kevin-oz9fw]

How did the local bee community accept your flow hive project? I find that around here in the Seattle,WA area they do not fancy them nor even top bar hives over traditional methods.

[@FlowHive]

Kevin, there are mixed responses :) - leah

[@rtenpin]

For the most part, they were very welcoming. A couple of naysayers here and there. When they saw I was serious about learning about beekeeping, they warmed up.

[@kishoretadikonda7001]

Very nice and very helpful innovation.. but it's very expensive in indian rupee........... But it will make in india , price will decrease ........

[@emersonpereiramachado]

Good evening everyone is looking to buy a box in this altomatic hive system

[@ericarrick6365]

This is neat. I fell like the flow hive is... Cheating, in a way. As I love to bake, I feel like KitchenAid mixers are " cheating. "

[@FlowHive]

What Flow™ hive does is make extracting the honey easy. Part of keeping a beehive is inspecting the hive for disease, especially in the brood box where the queen and workers live. This is the same for Flow™ Hives as it is for traditional hives To do this, you need to open up the hive, so you will need to get a beekeeper’s suit and a smoker. This is an important part of beekeeping to ensure your bees stay healthy. :) - leah

[@craigslattery1901]

Your videos are great, but by far the bulk are interviews with non Australians, a real shame.

[@emersonpereiramachado]

Alguém poderia me ajudar como faço pra comprar uma caixa dessa

[@HashbrownGokusan]

I came here after hearing about those damn murder hornets

[@Peacebestill27]

wait a second , did he just poke his fingers and entire hand to pick those wild bees and did not get a single sting? ooooo plssssss i have not had the nerve to rear those cute little creatures since the last 4 years ago when i fell in love with bee keeping all cos we have been taught to believe they are horrible and cant be lived with. to me bees are fascinating and on my own i have learnt a whole lot cos i package and sell honey yet too afraid to own a hive cos i dont wana get stung and die from its venom. with these videos i have seen that theres a special way to keep them without harming them and i long to have that here in my house. plsssssss somebody anybody everybody help a sister out...... i am Nigerian and i love to see bees swan and produce this sweet liquid called honey with so many benefits. is there any online course anything i can do to just get to be friends with bees again? heeeeellpppp flowhive plsssssssssssssss i need you guys and that flowhive plssssssss. i really hope you reply seriously?

[@arsenicpharaoh413]

Owning a Flowhive is not beekeeping, love bee's and wanna show it…Go get yourself a traditional hive and you'll have the right to call yourself a beekeeper:)

[@maxsanders7937]

This is probably why their's such a shortage in beekeepers. Ya'll are judgmental af. Makes me not want to get involved with my local association. If something works (obviously it does) and the bees are happy, then dont knock it.

[@fasalfasal3544]

Good

[@hannahcollins6909]

Don't be a karen smh owning a hive is bee keeping
