How to go through your hive for the new bee keepers

[@lunarrn]

I have a strong hive of meaner bees and I love them. They hold their own against small hive beetles and mites. I’m constantly battling beetles in my laid back hives.

[@Joseph-Colin-EXP]

I believe that multiple studies have shown that defensiveness correlates productivity and disease resistance.

[@user-md4di6yg2p]

I love dogs, and I love honey bees...great combo there!

[@reneebrown5598]

Lol. I noticed my black lab mix thinks she's a bee dog. Every night at dark she goes to my hive and sniffs the bees. I think she likes the smell of honey. Lol. She walks past them all day long but she only sniffs them after dark. Hehehe. She's a honey huffer.

Thank you for sharing some helpful, simple things here!

[@dominicpentecost8970]

Hey dude Big fan looking into starting bee keeping my self and studying your videos and learning alot! Have you ever thought about a chest mount or a head mount for your camera?

[@jacobhollingsworth6941]

How often should you check a hive

[@shaunbarker9201]

Another great informative video David,luckily here in the uk bears aren't a problem. Not in suburban areas anyway.

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Your videos are just fine.

[@chancetolbert4852]

How often would you suggest to go through hives?

[@billrichardson9285]

Hi Dave! Really enjoy watching your videos! I noticed in this video that your bees had quite a bit of propolis holding the frames in the box. I have the same issue with my hive but I’ve been in the box many times throughout the summer/spring...maybe 6 or 7 times. Once the frames are covered in propolis like this, what’s the best way to clean them so it’s not such a mess to deal with?

[@munibungbeeking1719]

That would be a really nice Nuc to buy its just about to take off. Is that privet hedge flowering behind the hives? My bees always swarm whenever that's out.

[@storm3772]

[@fionmor4893]

is that cinnamon dusting on top?

[@michaelhopper7487]

I'm making 5 frame hives also how big does the gap where the bees come in at need to be.

[@kevinarcher7701]

What breed of queen is in that hive?

[@JoshuaLoveson]

But how do you know when there's to many?

[@cherylsells5132]

have you sprinkled cinnamon in the hive? what purpose?

[@seeyouonthemountainbeekeeping]

Keeps ants away for one.

[@gpaulwelch7127]

How much do you sell a 5 frame box with bee's

[@chancetolbert4852]

What breed would you say is least aggressive?

[@christiannorvell6465]

@barton tolbert the least aggressive is the Italian or carniolans I use a mix but those are my recommendations

[@brunosulikowski]

hi barnyard Are you selling queens? I would like to add the genetics to to my beeyard. beesbuzz B Sulikowski

[@3trilogy]

Barnyard Bees In this video you said,"That's just common sense". For you if is! But this is my first contact with someone who has real hands-on experience with bees. Anyhow thanks for making these interesting and informative videos. Fascinatingll

[@papasstuff6381]

Maybe a dumb question , but how do you get that propolis OFF your hands ! That is nasty stuff !

[@JustinCaseAndroid]

rubbing alcohol

[@Batman3231852051]

Do you treat your bees for mites?

[@jameschance3066]

When should I treat for mites?

[@Batman3231852051]

I use the Randy Oliver blue towel way. March 15th, June 15th and Sept 15th. It works well for me. The two biggest killer of honey bees is the Vorroa mite and starvation both can be avoided.

[@jkgkjgkijk]

Lots of drone cells and capped drone.

[@colemanhelm6678]

Why must one always pull outside frames first?

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Not apt to roll the queen

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

I need to get rid of my mean bees

[@garyshaffer68]

That's my problem black bears here in Pennsylvania.

[@PhillipHall01]

Time to make some bear rugs!! Lol I am in North Mississippi. No bears here...

[@troypierce3967]

Is that cinnamon all over the frames?

[@troypierce3967]

I've used it a few times. Works well. Really appreciate your calm bees. Mine are meeeeeean!

[@troypierce3967]

You're right. I do... thinking about some queens from you. You're to far for nucs. I'm in VA. Did buy a package of GA Italians a month ago from a fella who brought a load of them up here. They doing well but mean too

[@domtosauccyxx2x307]

I got stung in the head

[@smartmonkey777]

those africanized bees make some incredible honey !

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

You should check out The killer bee guy You Tube channel he has a lot of interesting facts about the Africanized bee and he does sell their honey. From what I've seen, mean bees do have an active hive with honey, they just have more bees in the hive to attack those that aren't experienced with them. Watch his show. The older ones have more content. Thank you for your video. I enjoyed watching. 😄

[@dannywillix9640]
