👉🏻 Quick way to wire bee hive frames without a BEEKEEPING frame rig

[@tillerbeez6575]

To tension the wire more easily, use a clamp across the vertical stands of the frame. Tighten the clamp untill the stands are slightly bowed. Simple hand tighten the wire and secure. Release the clamp and the stands will apply more tension.

Thanks, been assembling frames with ease, but the wiring has been challenging in relation to getting that "guitar chord" sound. Made a good jig, but your idea of using the small screw driver is exactly what I needed to see, instead of all the complicated ways I was using. Cheers!

[@turnitupmike]

Nice to see the nails in your frames are actually holding the weight stress points on the frames. Good wire tips. Do you use a crimping tool before adding foundation?

[@greenbank4800]

really helpful and detailed. Thank you for taking the time to explain fully. 10 minutes to learn a new skill is nothing to watch with all the tricks you share.

[@gosenradio]

Hey great video, can I ask where did you get those tiny nails, (name, Size, Etc), please

[@johngraham9860]

Very good best i have seen quiet informative and no crap thank you do you have a video on the full3xplination of a hive from the base to the roof

[@matthewhoward8927]

Great description and video of your process. Thank you.

[@editingenglish4betterfluen838]

Great job very clear and just what I was looking for. Cheers. Steve

[@868_4_Life]

Thank you SO much for this. Looks easy because you explained it well. With zero knowledge and/or experience this would not make sense. THANKS!!!!!

[@bradgoliphant]

Hello, do you find a difference in wiring frames from top to bottom vs side to side? I'm hearing that queen won't laying over wire when it is side to side vs top to bottom?

[@troop425-assistantscoutmas3]

Excellent instruction. We enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!

[@Nisotovski]

So you dont put anything in the top bottom part? Like starter strip?

[@ashleyshipsky3967]

This has been very helpful! Thanks!

[@redbaron8989]

Simply awesome! Thank you!

[@Russ92]

Thank you for a very informative video. Will use your technique to wire my frames!

Quick way to wire bee hive frames without a BEEKEEPING frame rig. Visit www.mahakobees.com/blog for more honey bee frame wiring information and www.mahakobees.com/store.html for #beekeeping frame and wiring supplies. Beekeeping involves a wide variety of regular bee equipment maintenance tasks such as maintaining #honey #bee frames, making new beehive frames, wiring #frames, cleaning #propolis and beeswax, or replacing #beeswax foundations. This needs to be done throughout the beekeeping season, but during the off season, typically in late autumn, winter and early spring, beekeepers get started with building new or replacement beehives, honey supers, and the all important honey bee frames. We have several videos on how to build a strong and long lasting timber frame from scratch, in great detail, so skip through as required: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIO6qX5or8hnp7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3XemqQmMxmmLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y17beXaabtBnoc0 This video covers wiring a #Langstroth style honey bee frame, without a custom built bee wiring or framing rig. A frame wiring rig is an excellent tool to have, but realistically, unless you are a high volume beekeeper that has the need to manufacture large volumes of honey frames on a regular basis, a rig is usually not required. Our video shows you the tools required, and the step by step process close up. It is not the best way or the only way, but a way that works for us, is cheap, fast and very efficient. As a #beekeeper, using this method, you are not tied to a bee workshop as the tools are light, and little space is required. We manage to wire a frame in 2-3 minutes. Take a look, click the thumbs up if you find it useful, and share with others. We will also keep you updated with future videos if you press our SUBSCRIBE button. We'd love to have you along. Have a great beekeeping day!

[@RSLtreecare]

Very good. Thanks

[@vytbbb7146]

Could you use wishnet instead of wire?

[@steve24550]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@TassieEV]

what size tacks do you use? I tried and like your technique but found the tacks I used to nail in the edge for the wire terminations split the side of the frame so had to go back to using staples. My tacks are 12x1.6mm 100g, although no idea what I'll use 220 of them for now but will have to find smaller ones but if you can provide size you use would be appreciated.

[@bradgoliphant]

Very helpful. question. Why Wire? Why not plastic fish line? I've see a lot of videos where the queen will not lay over wire support? Can you share your thoughts on why one would use wire over fish line. just want to learn.

[@kymmiree]

I am new to this so in looking around for info I have found that many people say bees chew through the fishing line. Hope that helps a bit😃

[@bradgoliphant]

@@kymmiree Hey Kymmiree, This was an old question, yet I ended up using wire for the same reason. Ends up queen will end up laying over wired cells in the second year. All the best

[@donemmanuel4226]

Gr8 stuff. Excellent teacher.

[@jayrichardson221]

Thanks

[@chantallavergne387]

can I used wired on my second box even do my first box has frame with plastic inside

[@mulle5784]

does it have to be stainless steel wire? or can it just be fishing line?

[@billswift6757]

I made up dozens of spare frames late last year which I'm hoping the bees will draw out themselves, and I thought I'd wire them up with fishing line to give the comb some support, but it's gone loose already. I think I'll just remove it all and let the bees do what they do.

[@mulle5784]

Bill Swift Thank you!

[@donlopez8987]

Frames I have, don't have the eyelets, does it matter? The video is very informative, I have the problem of the wire unraveling.

[@scratchndig]

Don Lopez I’ve done some frames without the eyelets, however you can’t get the tension tight with out them, or the wire cuts into the wooden frame. If you don’t like wiring go with plastics foundations

[@dejanthomas9496]

Can 20 pound fish line also be used

[@runout74]

Stupid question, what is the wire for?

[@davidlee1969]

Only good idea over using a wiring jig was sticking the small screw driver in the hole to hold the tension while doing the next row. Also staples are quicker, less fiddle and cheaper than eyelets.

[@billymarkwell1105]

thanks for sharing .......good info.....

[@desertfox8583]

Why is wire used? Can one has the frames without wiring them? Could anyone plz tell me?

[@namentatic4978]

To support foundation, comb, brood. With out wire it could collapse, specially if loaded with heavy honey.

[@desertfox8583]

@@namentatic4978 Thank you for replying

[@ianhannant5468]

just got some new frames thanks for the tip

[@samuelozk2315]

Thought you were going to start a song.lol,BTW nice video

[@SirMundoSantiago]

Thanks for the information, really helpful.

[@renfrewcalgary2830]

Great video, very calming and informative... Thanks :)

[@amgari007]

Very nice video. Thanks.

[@VaderSpade]

You can build a quick jig in not much more time than it takes to watch this video and wire 10 frames this way. By the time you got to 20 frames wired you would be ahead with a jig.

[@rodbutler9864]

Outstanding

[@denverjnpierre7228]

Love it. Thank you.

[@alaaaliahmed3893]

Great job thanks

[@gregjefferys5333]

great help thanks

[@kenthompson6539]

I just drill a hole in the top bar the size of a bamboo barbeque skewer and push it to the bottom of he frame, no wire needed and the skewers are cheap, use two if one is not enough!!!!!

[@joshdavis2595]

You should make a video of this.

[@judycrouch4245]

When you say use 2 , do they need to adhere to each other??

[@namentatic4978]

Some people use vertical wires too. I think the bamboo sticks are better for vertical and wire installed horizontally. I will use that combination for my frames.

[@Zuconja]

There is a way without the end nails. When I get a decent camera, I'm gonna upload a video of my way of wiring.

[@Apiariojk1]

Muito bom

[@elenacerasela]

It is not taut enough.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

I just subbed

[@palmwoodshoney9213]

Way too slow! Stand the frame in a vice, much easier! Then clamp end to end, no mucking around keeping tension. I do mine in 1 minute max, see it on Palmwoods Honey Cheers

[@valentinalexandru8890]

sorry man but, there's nothing quick here.

[@Nisotovski]

You are lazy

[@DavidEricPrates]

Great video and good idea! Maybe you can swing by my channel too sometime.
