Saving Abandoned Beehives EP 004

[@curtisbolen2076]

Wonderful to see people that care,you are so careful to take the frames out without hurting the bees or trying not to make them mad.

[@EsteeDarla]

I like how you all handling everything I see so many people just grab and toss and destroy their homes and not care how they handle the bees you all did this with great care.

[@shubhalaxmideodhar8461]

So nice of you to save them. If bees could say thank you, they would.

[@alicecowan3499]

Awesome job Jag and team!

[@jotttn]

Most likely varroa would’ve taken them eventually (within 2 years usually) and year on year a new colony would arrive replacing the dead one.

[@anne-christinemarcou4481]

WELL DONE, EXCELLENT!!

[@meerapandey3959]

Jack you too good and kind human being.i wish i could meet you to get so much of knowledge.whats you full name

[@mothermarsh5872]

Did the guy working with you move them off the property or did you move them to your house? How did you go about it if you moved them to your house? I had bees priory and ran into trouble when I had to shift a hive that moved into empty boxes on my patio.

[@daisycreekanimals9733]

We moved them at night when all the bees returned home. You block off all entrances, move atleat 5 miles away and then open entrances.

[@azurebapiaries6730]

With jobs like that just bee vac them out and clean up equipment when everyone's contained... Pro tip,you're welcome

[@helenmcclellan452]

Do you plan to move the bees to your farm? Will you donate other hives to those who came to help? When you spoke about your chickens on another video, you mentioned you didn't eat meat. Do you eat honey then? What will yiu do with all the honey if you keep all those hives?

[@daisycreekanimals9733]

Yes, moved 2 hives to our farm, Josh and friends got to keep the other 2 hives. We do not eat meat but we do eat animal products such as eggs, milk, and honey, if the animals are kept humanely and happily. We will harvest any extra honey if there is some leaving enough for bees to safely make it to next spring. We mainly keep bees for pollination.

[@galileosdog]

Hooray, we ❤️ bees!

[@kw1092]

LETS HAVE A FOLLOW UP. OF THE bee's. ???

[@LifeIsSoDangGood]

Thanks for sharing this! What a beautiful process of restoring the bees’ home. Do you plan to harvest the honey at some point?

[@daisycreekanimals9733]

We will harvest some from the existing hive I have and won't harvest any from these til next year. We always leave enough for the bees to safely make it to spring

[@LifeIsSoDangGood]

Cool! It would be nice to see what that process looks like too.

[@JoshTheGamerOfficial]

Are you all abandoned

[@floridagoods]

Sounds like the bees are living in the ghettos where the landowner neglected them😅

[@northfloridarails2136]

What size rubber bands do you use?

[@conradriffle8262]

Yes=Help our bees survive Bless you===Please let me help you a little=The Caucasian bees swarm less than any bees and they are very friendly. They go into winter with more honey but less bees so they don't starve easy as others. fact they are not bad at swarming they build up massive hives and make more honey. I have 2 large hives of the Caucasian Bees and really like them. You can buy great queens from Bob Binnie in Georgia which are a mix of Caucasian and Carnolen. I plan to buy one myself this spring for grafting new queens. Myself I catch about 20 wild swarms each spring and many of them have learned how to kill mites and black beatles. I also have invented a Propane copper fogger for Oxalic Acid that takes only 2 minutes to fog a hive. Its $ 115.00 including shipping. however you must buy the torch (Mr. Torch) from Tractor Supply and the propane tank. I first fog my 70 hive mid winter on a warm day 58 F so the cluster will be broken up to reach all bees. College in Florida says to do a complete kill on mites us 4 grams of Acid on each hive. I did that last year and June 7 when my bee inspector checked 6 hives he found zero mites in my hives. I also fog my hives 2 times 10 days apart in April, then the same first part of August after pulling my second round of honey. I remove my spring honey before our 11 Linden Trees bloom. Because 2 Linden trees are Equal to a whole acre of flowers. Why fog first part of Aug.=thats when

[@unicornbunny7866]

So, no one bothered to look for the disappeared owner?

[@JoshTheGamerOfficial]

Your name chad

[@kimpaynter]

Wow did not know how important the moving process is

[@boboften9952]

Bees construction of a Hive Brood is in the center Honey on the outside frames This keeps the youngest bees warmest Bees movement and heat changes the nectar the Bees collect into honey Adding frames into the center of the hive will help the Brood expand Adding frames to the sides of the boxes " will help increase the amount of honey produced , stored " The amount of honey produced and stored helps get them through winter The Brood size helps in the collection of nectar If the Bee Keeper removes too much honey too soon the viability of the hive may drop , decline , become unviable ( the hive colony might decline and die ..... not enough food to get the colony through ) Obviously flowers , flower Season is the next most important and in different parts of the country seasons are varied longer , shorter , droughts , Flooding , Coldness , winterness ...... I hope this basic description helps Good lucky Bee Busy

[@JoshTheGamerOfficial]

You said that one of the abbaned one

[@immaware6847]

Why 😣

[@daisycreekanimals9733]

Explained in the video, the boxes were in bad shape and attacked by mice, hornets, and wax moth larvae

[@scifriskyxy]

I belive the previous bee keeper may have died which would explain why they ended up abandoned like this-

[@anniev7410]
