I ❤️ your channel my grandfather and great grandfather business was saving the 🐝 s and everything to do with honey since the 1890s. Honey n wax got probably more generations through the Australian depression 2 wars and a few other situations when money was practically worthless food was gold. My pop watched your channel up until his parkinsons disease took him at a rip age of 96. He believes being stung so many times cause he refused a keepers suit slowed the progression of parkinsons disease.When pop stop looking after hives at 93 parkinsons took over. But I put your channel on and his memory would start to come back was amazing. Your channel was a life saver at times would calm him down when he didn't know who I was dementia is a nasty cruel thing but thank you for being you and keep up the good work.Sorry if I rambled I have autism it's hard for me to word things.

Monasteries kept bees for candle wax, as they used so many candles and beeswax made the best quality ones. Hence so many beekeepers came from the monastic community. Then they discovered they could make mead from the honey - whoops!

on them mean bees leave mom where she is and all flying bees give her two full boxes to have no excluder when she has it all laid out put her in the bottom box with 8 frames empty two frames brood, box over that all empty frames not drawn leave at same location they will draw out all the empty frames , and you will have 18 frames of bees and brood to build from . rinse and repeat keep mom in the building stage great video lots of info thanks, also I have found that if you let the mean bees re queen about three generations they get better

I wanted some different bee genetics because all the queens (walk away splits) I’ve produced have mated with dark bees and have inherited some nasty traits. I got onto the Aussie apiarist online and searched for queensland breeders. It shows all breeders are in the south east corner (Brisbane area). I spoke to a bloke. Told him my name and of my predicament and asked him if he thought it was viable sending them 1000km to the north as I couldn’t find any other information about queen breeders up this region. He said he’d get back to me in a changed voice tone but has blown me off.I contacted 3 big local commercial keepers and they all said to just keep doing walk away splits.

Actually the calmest bees are black and ironically called caucasian bees.

Nice it have more new videos Rather posting all old ones

Why put many queens in one box not one queen? Anyone tell thanks

[@BikesBoatsBees]

Only one queen per box. Old queen stays with the original hive, new queen goes into the new box.

Gday BBM and john , looking back on these videos that you did they are really informative and show exactly what you do as a proffesional beekeeper . I think if i was just starting out they would be of invaluable assistance and even as a beek of a couple of years i still can learn things from them . My hive lost its queen dont know if i squished her or if she got told to nick off but my bees were bonkas , i looked like a walking bee hive after an inspection anyway i re queened and almost instantly the hive changed , now they are still easy to handle I have tried to do my first split and will check in a few more days to see if it was a success or a flop can only try i suppose .
