How to set up your first beehive.

In this video, I go through every component of a beginner beehive. I will walk you through each component, and then show you how to install bees.

Very interesting! There’s so much more to bee keeping than the average person knows! You explain things so well!

[@dondywondy]

Wow, a great video which demystifies the process of starting a hive. Thanks for the video!

[@RyanGrady]

Glad it was helpful! Glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome, I learn so much from your Ryan. So where do you get the bees from? And what does a set up like that cost? Or do you make it yourself?

[@RyanGrady]

I bought the bees in this video from a place called Mount Sweet Honey. And if you calculate the cost of the beehive and the cost of the bees, it’s right around $500 for a complete hive

RIP the 3 bees. we will remember your sacrifice.

[@RyanGrady]

lol, that’s funny right there. But I don’t know a bee keeper that hasn’t dropped one. I’m just glad there was minimal damage.

when you are showing and talking about he queen bee your wrist is opening the lid and letting the bees free . i just thought it was funny.

[@RyanGrady]

lol, yeah that’s true. Believe it or not, the bees will stay right there near the queen. They will stay airborne, but they will not leave the collective. As soon as the bees are installed in the hive, all the bees that took to the air will come into the beehive because of the bees that are standing on the front releasing pheromones, so the airborne bees can locate the hive.
