Testing Out The Bee Hive Lifter - Episode 53: "Brute Force"

[@PigCreekHomestead]

We have 2 of these, ended up changing the tyres over to small motorbike tires, more tread, easier to get through sandy/muddy terrain. only $45 per tyre to change over at tyrepower

[@TheBushBeeMan]

This is a fantastic idea! We'll have to give it a go ;)

[@KenShields]

You are the Benny Hill of beekeeping! I love your sense of humor!

[@keithpadbury9818]

There still seems to be some lifting and carrying going on. It seems to me that a set of ramps up into the trailer would be of benefit. Hook onto a hive, drive up (reverse up?) into the trailer, turn and deposit the hive, reverse back and down the ramps for the next hive.

I don't give two shits about bee's but I fuckin love this guys videos.

[@desmondsimmons1436]

I need one of those tired of moving hives by my self by hand. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBushBeeMan]

It's makes it a lot easier when you have a lot to move around.

[@kathyhathaway8823]

This left looks real good but I think if the handles were down about a feet or so . I think it will work out after you use it a while. Thanks

[@BenWillock]

Hope you're well, Bush Bee Man

[@TheBushBeeMan]

Doing good!

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

LOL, where do you keep the spare tyre? I was waiting for a stump to eat one of the tubes. I'm guessing ramps might be your next investment ;)

[@privatebubba8876]

Like my daddy used to tell me, you have to be smarter than the equipment you're trying to operate. I bet the girls were pissed after all that high pitched noise and bumping around. Awesome piece of equipment that all of us with beekeper's back need.

[@madmoo2658]

Good stuff.

[@TheBushBeeMan]

Thank you!

[@davidwren1879]

If you grab it from the front or back, instead of the sides, you could drop the hives right on your stand.

[@RescueRecycleReuse]

How does it go with the Poly hives?

[@gabe4943]

Could i ask where did you get it from and how much was it?

[@CarolineSpiz]

This looks about 100x more cumbersome than just picking up the hives by hand. How heavy are the hives?

[@sawspandabear]

Caroline Spiz A medium super will weigh 40 to 50 lbs. A deep super will weigh 70 to 90 lbs. A deep hive body full of bees, brood, and honey should weigh about 80 lbs. Sauce : www.perfectbee.com/blog/weighing-your-beehive-why-and-how/

[@PraeaKitten]

The tree that you can see in the window at 2:25 looks like a chicken!

[@TheBushBeeMan]

Wow! It sure does!!

[@MReynolds101]

We would put playing card in are spokes to make that noise

[@dallasbarrow]

Looks bad for the hive as you are lifting it to the side. That would be smashing the frames against each other.

[@roycarter6235]

A little Dingo mini loader would be a much more efficient option

[@brandonfromm1114]

Are you still using this trolly? Has it been useful long term?

[@TheBushBeeMan]

We sure are! It does a great job

[@downonthefarm2295]

We’re did you get the machine from

[@munrosewarne6551]

Useful toy.

[@markgillard8113]

You're rough as guts Bush Bee Man

[@laurelherbert2879]

peg and a card

[@burtonsbeefarm3834]

I was wondering after a several years do you still use this? How did it hold up? Is it worth the money?

[@dallasbarrow]

Great video but what a heap of junk lol
