Making an Easy and Quick BEE HIVE.

[@keithcheeseman567]

I've seen this hive built and used in the UK in the 1980s, by an expert beekeeper called Peter Springhall. One of the most natural ways to keep bees. Well done on your Apiary...I love it.

[@AbineryMwaluko]

So Now you know that they are called Kenya Top bars

[@nesh3171]

I've been watching this farm and this channel grow and I can tell... This guy is going far

[@gabbytay]

Dr. Dan, i just love seeing your videos. hopefully my start up farm can become like yours. you are an inspiration for me. your positivity and dedication to farming is just uplifting.

[@mjscholtz1314]

I love this! Thanks for your clear and realistic information but also your positive demeanor! ☀️

[@SD-iy3sp]

Loooove the personableness! Loooove the "teaching"! Wish you and your family were my neighbors! Your practalicality!

[@sylivianakayiga3071]

Dr ,With your passion you never disappoint,thank you so much for the efforts.

[@thegirlchild6389]

Beautiful. To prevent timber from splitting hit sharp end of nail using a harmer before using them/hammering in timber. A blunt nail can't split timber

[@j.babiweedor461]

Watching from Monrovia, Liberia. Just what I needed to start my beekeeping. Thank you, sir!

[@KodikiGodfrey]

I am really planning to make it. At first I was using pots and local traditional hive called kizegi , I have 4 kizegis and 3pots . I harvest 9 kg pure honey from kizegi each . Then 4kg from traditional pots. I am planning to raise more money in order to make Kenyan top bar hive... Thanks 👍👍👍

[@gastrictipple27]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha the lord Already fed me this information before I saw this video . I have a big problem with kids being distructive in the area of my land . Using trees was my plan from word go and thank you for showing me how to make a really easy one god bless all my love and heart

[@mikekasoola3134]

Dr. Daniel, yyou have done a lot to transform our society. Kudos 👍 👍

[@coyotech55]

Nice! I've been wanting to start raising bees, and with a home made hive like this, I could get started.

[@jimachbolwie3767]

Thank you so much Dr. Danial, My question is that what would happened when I make a Two places of Queen in the same Top Bar to save two colonies?

[@pankajmakwana2300]

What size of mesh holes would keep the queen in her place but allow worker bees into and out of honey area please. Thank you for a great video.

[@yasinkasaija]

Can't honey pass through to a queen,s chamber,❤ then which side of the 2 chambers do u put the entrace?

[@TheMiniFarm444]

Well your video is fantastic it’s so easy and simple Thanks from UK Mandy

[@akokorapiaw6855]

Nice beehive construction. Please what is the mesh size?

[@chikosinalo]

Guyiz! Nice tutorial, I have learnt so much about how the beehive works. Thanks

[@yoopermann7942]

DOC and friends,, thank you for the information

[@richardlubega2149]

Good when you are harvesting where do you havest the side of queen or opposite side of bee hive

[@andilenonkwelo6616]

Sorry I missed how the bees will hand onto the wood? Isn't there supposed to be something that looks like combs?

[@muhammadpatel5590]

Hi. Nice and detailed video. Thanks. Just wanted to ask what should be the size of the mash that is separating the queen from honey section?

[@elemiaphiri975]

What is the English name of the tree leaf used as bee attractor in

[@4kays160]

Lemon grass, but it does not work how he claim's.. he is lying about buying the bees so he looks like a poor man starting new , but hes actually a rich man who doesnt think you will support him if you know hes rich, so instead of being truthfull he has decided to decieve you... the plant you asked about is called lemon grass in english, you can buy it as an oil its better and you only need one drop of oil to attract bees, but most people who use this method put up around 20 swarm traps to catch their own bees escaping when they decide to swarm and they only catch a few per year surrounding there own bee farm.. you will need to make 20 swarm traps with lemongrass, and find a beekeeper who lets you put up traps near their apiary (bee farm) and dont mind you taking there bees, because most will be mad your stealing there bees before they can catch them back.... if you really want bees do what the fake lying doctor actually did and buy them ... because your only going to catch bees from around a hive that is overcrowded and swarming, and unless you have that, you wont catch bees..

[@AnthonyInnocent-ct6um]

Please how do the Queen get to it's chamber bearing in mind of the mesh.

[@moussaessambeng2456]

Thank you too much, I'm learnt something vert spécial for m'y life! You explain vert well . I live un Cameron.

[@sharoncrean1136]

Thank you for this. Hoping to make a small bee hive and I’ve never constructed anything on my life 🙈🙈

[@thisculturedlife2220]

Thank you for this video. I want to make two hives this week. Can you tell me how big the holes are in the mesh you use to divide the queen's side from the honey side, please?

[@TheMiniFarm444]

Hi I was trying to see what the width of your wood is Could you please tell me the height/ depth of your hive is and that would really help me Thank you Mandy 🇬🇧

[@Omarinina28]

Well detailed @Daniel. Btw how many litres of honey can that beehive possible accumulate in a season/ year?

[@yasinkasaija]

Do you also put ahole on the room of the queen bee

[@Physiocrat]

Please can I get the list of materials used in construction of the hive?

[@davidguantai-em4on]

What's the size of the queens chamber and rest of the hive

[@caresc307]

How does the queen bee decide which chamber she will stay in🤔 from the beginning..do u put entrance holes on both opposite sides or only one side

[@assalane]

I have the same question 😅

[@FarmUp]

The queens chamber is the one all the bees directly get into. The honey chamber is the further chamber. The other bees can get there besides the Queen. The idea is you don't want the queen to lay eggs in the honey chamber

[@assalane]

@@FarmUp thanks doctor, that makes sense!

[@omanbody8060]

@@FarmUp how do you no the size of the holes in the mesh that the queen cant enter to the honey chamber?

[@4kays160]

@@omanbody8060 you buy queen excluders made from steel or plastic for a few dollars online.. the mesh he has was the wrong size and will not work at all its way too big she will lay eggs in his honey combs..

[@baabakankani8444]

Plz the wire mesh used as the queen excluder is 3mm or 4mm

[@frankuzmic4305]

Hi, when I put lemongrass on beehive, bees will come but how will come queen bee in the hive?

[@kwabenaagyekumobeng2030]

Should the hive always be trapezoidal or rectangular given the same length and breadth as shown in the video

[@njugunaDaniel]

[@ericaguerrero5652]

What kind of spray do you b use?

Videos are always inspiring

[@TheBirdOwner]

How do you make make frames or is there no frames???

[@MetalManiaAllTheWay]

Can someone explain how the honey harvesting process goes for this kind of hive?

[@hilltroneye]

To prevent splitting wood , hit the nail on the sharp side,(gently, not too much , make nail not sharp , that’s help

[@ericaguerrero5652]

Where do they put the hunny?

[@brianrogers6731]

Very simple and straight forward

Approximately how much honey does 1 hive yield per harvest

[@josephatterera2274]

How much is each beehives,the Queen Chamber and finally the Honey Chamber.

[@hab256]

Wow Dr. Daniel! I'm excited to see beekeeping videos on your channel. This new voice-over style was also interesting to see. I found the Arabian themed background music to be a little peculiar 😅

[@Eze-0.8]

How many litres of honey can u harvest from one of your beehive sir

[@lulemark7290]

Doc i hav a quick question which type of feeds should I use for layers and at what age thank you waiting for the reply

[@AIS.FarmResorts]

How old are your layers and what breeds are they. Some layer breeds need less protein and others get fat on corn, resulting in poor egg production. If you can answer these questions, maybe I can help answer your questions

[@lulemark7290]

@@AIS.FarmResorts there now 10 days got them from ugachick been feeding them on starter pellets since day one

[@AIS.FarmResorts]

@@lulemark7290 Ok so they're till chicks. For 10 week old chicks, always go for STARTER PELLET (ask the seller). Depending on which country you live, the name might differ but the content/ingredients are often the same or similar. I use Starter Mash (also known as Broiler Starter in Ghana) for my DOC. How many are the chicks and what breed of layers are you raising?

[@kattsragz320]

Maybe the nails were to thick that's why the wood was splitting. Bee keeping is fantastic

[@timothymitchell8310]

I saw this a year ago and am wondering how your bee journey is going? Looking forward to more

daniel your every where as in farming

[@Mega30cent]

Dr Daniel. How is this project going?

[@danielkamau5310]

How long is the beehive?

[@keithrobin6566]

I have always thought about going into bee keeping but I would like to know it's value chain

[@mbasalalendle1878]

On the one end of the value chain you have your start up inputs which as seen on this video can be DIY or if you have money you can buy a beehive from a supplier other suppliers would be for your suit and equipment beehive tool a simply long aerated bread knife could do a smoker. You then would need an extractor if your using the langstroth beehive but a top bar beehive you simply crush and strain your honey after cutting out the combs you can package them yourself buying jars plastic or glass depend on your market preference benefit of honey as a product is if stores well can stay fresh indefinitely giving you time to market your product and get the right price for it there are barely any month to month inputs beside checking up and maintaining your beehives makes sure there’s enough vegetation and flowers nearby for them to forage on so they don’t have to go too far wasting energy that go forage this will help with productivity

[@efraimbelga9617]

Hello sir, may i know the size of the top bar?

By the way Dr Dan, what happened to our collaboration on Poultry Pellet Manufacturing? I’m still interested.

[@FurahaOgaalka]

you didn't show an inside view of honey making process. .... It seems the spaces between the hanging bars are not sufficient for the honey making process

[@muwongekalubijohn4511]

l Have a swam , how can I get it into a hive

[@justinekipchirchirkibor1082]

How much do you sell one

[@boazkamandi700]

Nice project

[@mrmworia]

the width of the top bar needs to be exactly 3.2cm.

[@melvynthompson]

what kind of beehive is it ????

[@geoffreytale4232]

What can I use to prevent the wood from roting with time?! I was thinking of vanish, but it smells like a bee repellant.

[@AIS.FarmResorts]

There’re many wood treatments (chemicals) you can use. The most important thing is to make sure it soaks the wood well and the let it dry out before using. Bees don’t eat wood, so they will not be repelled by the scent. Also wood termites are unlikely to eat the wood once the bees have colonised the hive. Good luck

[@kussh100]

Wood was typically treated by linseed oil long ago for its preservation. Its the oil extracted from flax seeds.

[@vittalkoppal]

You're wonderful person ❤️🙏👌

[@buddyblack9801]

awesome video! thanks for sharing.

[@Physiocrat]

Please can I get the dimensions used?

[@grumpydad23]

Put your nails upside down on something hard and hit the tip with your hammer. This will stop the timber splitting when you hammer it in.

Excellent bee give by the way, certainly going to make some of these
