My sister has been raising bees for several years & I forwarded this video to her because I’m sure she’s gonna want to do this latest beehive as well. She has grandchildren that will enjoy being able to watch the bees especially if you can see the queen actually laid eggs, to me that was AMAZING!!

[@someoneelse4925]

If your sister lives in north America then she has been contributing to the death of our ecosystem for years! Honey bees are actually native to Eurasia, and are horribly devastating to our ecosystem because they block out our native pollinators from food and are extremely good at spreading diseases between our native wild life. Honey is super profitable and that's why there's so much campaigning around saving honey bees. what's more American than profit? Especially at the expense of our biodiversity

[@johnjanedoe1676]

​@@someoneelse4925Oh shut up!! You couldn't be more wrong! You disgust me! You're absolutely ridiculous with your lies! 😂

[@GunBase]

​@@someoneelse4925 she never specified the bees raised they could be captive bred hornets, no reason to hop online and type some social justice warrior stuff with no knowledge of the persons experience or background, if you really knew what you were talking about or cared youd take facts to the people doing it in real life not rant to some lady about her sisters bee keeping hobby, weird lol.

I saw a documentary about keeping bees in clear recycled (round) plastic 5 gallon everflow containers and it’s a fascinating way to keep bees. Looks like this company incorporated some of those ideas.

[@zoelie]

Yep! I saw that too. Was literally thinking about that documetary when I saw the title

[@marninasondack7259]

We bought this beehive from Ivry over a year ago. It is very easy to care for. The children and guests love being able to see inside without worrying about getting stung. The bees are very happy and even swarmed and split to form a second hive. We extracted some of the best honey I have ever tasted. Of course we left most for the bees. We are really enjoying our introduction to beekeeping through this hive, we are total novices.

[@connormiller1853]

How do you harvest the honey?

[@marionlesage4794]

Happy birthday, Uriah! I loved the bee close-ups in the intro. Great camera work. Enjoyed the whole video as well: very educational. Will say the round hive would be way too much work for me, but I can see how someone doing a project with their children could benefit from the concept.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Very fun project, I agree. Would be a lot of work if I was going to have 10-20 of them. But for 2-4 of them, I’m fine with the work.

Looks like a great hive for a school project or beginning bee keepers. Makes me want to get one myself.

[@BullyoTook]

A health food store in the town I grew up in in the 1970s had a see-through beehive. It was really cool as a kid. While mom shopped I always just stood there mesmerized. It had a clear pipe that went out through the wall that allowed the foraging bees egress / ingress.

[@bellashealingartistry8934]

Not the 1st btw. BAck in 1999, A park in south San Francisco had a round plaxy glass bee hive in the window. I learned so much about bees that day! I wanted to go there for my 18th bday. I have so much love for bees!

[@markhopatcong9866]

It's time to post a video of your family having family fun.

[@sstra5791]

We just ordered one of these because my kids love to watch bees whenever they see live hives and just on our flowers and in nature. My 4 yr old is so very excited about this because she loves bees and this will allow her to see the process. I hope once it gets established to let the grade schools come see it during earth science lessons. We need all the education about bees we can and this is such a cool thing to get kids involved and excited about bees and why we need them. Hope you post progress with yours.

[@stevenpike7857]

It is so amazing watching you and the kids working with all the bees and see how calm they are around them. It’s such beauty watching how the bees know how to do what they do. And just how fast they work at building from scratch a new hive. I like the new hive you have set up it is different than I have seen. Happy Birthday to Uriah. What amazing day he had with dad working with the bees.

[@brianholloway1451]

I have made glass hives for over 30 years. I had 250 beehives before I found out I was so allergic to bees that probably my next basting will be fatal. But I have a very big garden and have thousands of bees all over the place so I'm not that worried. I actually have a glass hive in my garden now. But because of my allergic reaction to the bees I get someone else to actually extract them. But I love watching them. That's why I got a glass beehive. One thing if you have a glass Highview desperately need to thicknesses of glass because in winter it gets far too cold.

With this round hive you can extract honey like the flow hive too.

A happy and healthy birthday to Uriah! May you always be happy, cheerful, healthy, full of energy and never get tired helping papa taking care of the beehive while learning so much from them! I know I have learned a lot from your sharing and from where I am staying, it is not suitable to have any bee keeping at all so this is something I get to learn here and respect the honey bees when I bump into one.

Im a carpenter/wood worker, and this looks very cheap made. It will be interesting to see how well it holds up.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Lots of thin layers, but with the insulation and stain, I’m hoping that it will hold up over time. Standard Langstroth hives are cheap pine boxes, so not any thicker or durable and they will rot if not painted or stained as well - and they need covered in our winter weather, too.

its a giant puzzle! amazing job helping out uriah.

[@PrimalCuriosity]

I like the more natural design. The bees can more easily regulate their temperature because the way of the airflow. Its probably going to be an advantagous hive for the bees in winter. I didnt like the plastic though. Glass might be more volitile but it doesnt have chemical problems. Even if it says BPA safe, i still dont trust it. Love the rest of your operation. Beautiful homestead.

Honey bees are devastatingly invasive to north America, they're native to Eurasia and the only reason we say save the bees is because honey is hugely profitable. What's more American than making money at the expense of our environment?

[@someoneelse4925]

​@@whitehouseonthehillI'm coming for you and every single bee keeper in America, stop destroying our ecosystem with lies and cute honey combs, our native pollinators are valid and important, there's a reason honey bees are struggling to survive in north America, they don't belong here.

Several thing, I'm no expert but it's not recommended to leave feed just outside of the hive, it said to encourage robbing, although the hive has nothing. Two, if you keep buying rare and different hive, it's going to be a hassle to transfer hive.

[@walkabout16]

In gardens bathed in gentle light, A hive appeared, a stunning sight, Transparent top, a window clear, To bees and honey, drawing near. Within a top cover, a world on view, A beehive like none ever knew, Transparent, letting in the day, Where buzzing bees would work and play. A window to their bustling life, Amidst the blooms, midst buzz and strife, The world's first see-through hive did thrive, Intrigue and wonder, it'd derive. The honey's glow, a liquid gold, In chambers secret, stories told, Through glass, we glimpsed their industry, A buzzing, living tapestry.

[@Userxyz-z2d]

Love that hive! I would hav removed frames before shaking the bees in so they fall to the bottom otherwise the shaking infuritates them! The pale only stops dripping if you place it on a solid board so it can form a vacuum (its physics). You can lay pollen patties on top of the frames.

i built and use a bartop hive used 1x2 with a v type strip of wood on bottom side and those became my frames. got my bees thru the mail three pounds with queen put them in the hive with no foundation. feed sugar water for first week and they built their combs just fine.
