Saving The Fish Tank Beehive: Transferring To A Flow Hive | The Bush Bee Man

[@Sasuke81a]

10:00 I watched another Channel called: 'Texas Bee Works' and the Bee keeper had found Beehives in a Old Suitcase, Abandoned Toilet and a Derelict Washing Machine and she's very Gentle with the Bees and the Bees love her too for giving them a new home.

[@EndingSimple]

She's famous. She's like a super hero without a cape.

[@Trapper_Al]

I truly don't believe it's a failure of the bees nor the fish tank... it's clearly a lack of care and maintenance mate! Poor bees...

[@davidbock2863]

Did you identify the queen, or are you just kinda hoping she survived the sticky mess and moved into the flow hive?

[@thepykey]

Looked more like a massacre than a rescue to me . You must have taken a load of stings . Cant fault you cheerful attitude though. Hope the new hive works out.

[@carolewarner101]

I was thinking the same thing...that they must have stung his hands badly!

[@ozdadev]

Well, that's a massacre to me too... I personally try my best to not hurt 'em while handling combs... btw his hands gonna itch for a long time. Anyway, here the situation is tricky though, at least at the beginning.

That's the best comb honey I've seeen in over 40 years!

[@dillydanny-o8807]

I find it fascinating and amazing how they’re able to build comb to the depth and thickness and shape that is just right for airflow and uses like brood or honey! I wish I could keep bees and let them build how they want but sadly it wouldn’t be inspectable. Sometimes I wonder if frames make them more vulnerable to pests vs the natural wavy patterns they build.

[@jillmondt5398]

🤣The way that adorable man said in his accent “don’t forget to like, click, and subscribe, and all that crazy shit you do out there on the internet…” 🤣👍

[@zincfive]

"And they don't like it when you put your hand in their honey pot, and they sting ya..." True, that.

[@vickisgardenadventures14]

Wish a little more care can be taken for the lives of the crushed bees!

[@DG-yd4nh]

I agree

[@nonamehowisgoogleusingourd886]

Winnie the pooh ♥️ I just hear that song in my head while watching this. 👀 lol he's stealing the honey.

[@Clawdiatherescue]

This man is charming but I question that bucket he's putting the honey in😅 doesn't look the most hygienic to me but this was so enjoyable to watch though.

[@EndingSimple]

He said at the beginning it was an 'observation' hive. He had a video recording camera in the hive itself. I don't think he actually ever intended to harvest honey. I think he was just using the fish tank for the bees the same way it was meant to be used for fish - for just looking at them and seeing how the hive got on. The problem was that the hive got very successful to the point where the camera was obscured by comb and couldn't see out. He wife wanted him to clear it out because it got unsightly. So now he's transferring an unexpectedly successful hive to a Flow Hive because he now wants to harvest honey. I don't think he can use that honey that's there now. And I'm not sure if he accidentally killed the queen or not.

[@mandipbohara5355]

Seeing this kind of rescuing beehive for the first time. This really looks like massacre .

[@alanaaites8292]

Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you. My daughter and I just love your video and lovely accent.

[@Blackheathenly]

I enjoy watching you so much. Bloody wonderful! xxx

[@wadebarnes6720]

Too bad you didn't have a clean bucket that's enough honey for a whole neighborhood

[@ObservationofLimits]

Wow that's a first year hive you said? That's insane. This is why frames go all the way around (which I realize would block the view into the box) to help the comb stay regular and make for easier removal. Like other people said, a bread knife would help loads in comb removal. But full frames would be best.

[@BraveUlysses59]

@17:43 you can see the silhouette of a bee on his back trying hard to sting him. You can see her abdomen going in and out trying to sting the evil monster destroying her home.

[@tookmyhandle2]

What a delightfully odd video. I can't say I know how or why I'm here, but I'm enjoying it!

[@johnhenke6475]

I love that wired frame idea. Where I work some bees made a nest in a water valve box that is buried in the ground with a lid on top. My bright idea was to buy another box, put a bottom on it and screen off the openings for the pipe. Then I went to the box and just pulled off the lid, with the hive stuck to it and placed it on the other box that I had readied. It's been in my backyard for over two years now. I captured one swarm from it and dumped them into a top bar box I built. Since then that hive swarmed but I had nowhere to put them so they had to go find their own home. I built a better top bar going on my experience with the first one. I'm planning to get the hive out of the water box and move them into the top bar. The water box hive is so heavy I can barely pick it up. I harvested from my first top bar and took about twenty pounds of honey. Just getting ideas.

in your brood frame you have wire wrapped all over the new frame to help the transfer between hives, did you do the same thing for honey frames to act as a guide for bees to build their wax from when you first put them in?

I love this and will show my grandson. I have a large fish tank in my livingroom set up for 3 months ready for my observation hive for the winter. I already have a few top bar hives and will transfer some combs and bees to the tank. I'm not sure if I'll leave them in next spring though after seeing what your's has done. I'm mostly making it for hive air therapy for my lungs though after covid 2x has left me with breathing issues. Gosh I loved watching this video and how your bees did it their way

[@iditarod4081]

What are you talking about Hive air bees breathe the same air that we do

[@sherryortiz227]

@@iditarod4081 actually inside the hive when it is closed it is more of a sterile environment. When a tube is placed in the hive and a person at the other end of the tube is wearing a mask with the tube attached they are breathing the hive air in. Studies have proven to increase lung function, cure pneumonia and bronchitis without medicine, help heal lung damage, help with asthma, copd and emphysema etc. My pulmonary Dr has suggested I try it for my breathing issues caused by having covid twice and having the lung damage it caused. When I'm breathing the hive air I was able to breath very well without coughing for up to 3 hours each time. That was a blessing as 8 had been coughing for 19 months from first Covid.

[@iditarod4081]

@@sherryortiz227 interesting, is it a dry cough? Seems complex what do you use PEX tubing? Would be hard to get any air volume. Lungs breathe in lots of air it seems like you would circulate the hive air a few times a minute. I wonder if you might consider a trip to some wonderful vacation spot. There's all these old timey stories of people going to airy spots in the 1800s for rehabilitation or whatever they called it.

[@davidwalz1371]

I think bees in a fish tank was a great idea. Just last week, the courts in California ruled that Bumble Bees were fish to protect them

[@Lord_Volkner]

Californians 🤦‍♂️ If you could remove one state from the union to make the USA a better place, what state would it be, and why did you choose California?

[@RICDirector]

They did not rule them fish. The rule said, in the section initially dealing with acquatics, that the rule applied to invertebrates as well, hence, bees. Clickbait titles got you again.

[@Lord_Volkner]

@@RICDirector Thanks for the clarification. That makes more sense.

[@Bramble20322]

@@Lord_Volkner If you removed California, the US would fall below China in the world economy ranks, just saying. California alone is the 5th biggest economy of the world.

[@Lord_Volkner]

@@Bramble20322 That's not exactly true. A) California's economy is collapsing thanks to progressive policies. Businesses are fleeing California at an alarming rate. B) Most of California's economy is goods going through California. It's a giant shipping hum for goods coming to the US and going from the US. Remove California and those goods would still ship, just through other ports. Removing California wouldn't even be noticed. P.S. ... and what you said isn't even true. I just looked it up. Even if you assume that none of that commerce would go around Cali (which is a stupid assumption) the US economy would still be bigger than China without Cali. US economy 25T Cali economy 3.3T China economy 18T 25 - 3.3 > 18 ... and don't thumbs up your own comments, especially when you're wrong.

[@RH-cv1rg]

What did I just witness? A bear does less damage to a wild hive.

[@magikdust2095]

A few things, i think the fish tank bee hive would've worked if the frames had had sides and wax in the middle of the frame, that way the comb would've had more stability, and the bees would've had a good foundation to built straight comb onto. Two, i think you should've at least had a bee vacuum to vacuum up any bees you could before taking out the honey. It looks like lots of bees died, and who knows if the queen even survived. I've been a lot of comb extractions, and this was by far the messiest with the most bee deaths. Three, i think a longer knife would've made removing the comb in one piece a little easier, especially once you got to the brood comb. I appreciate your jolly attitude throughout the whole thing, though. Vacuuming up the bees also would've probably prevented you from getting stung so much.

As a beekeeper,with all my experience and knowledge i cant understand this; How an unmanaged colony made so much honey by themselves?I cant get it.

[@Grgwhhehe]

As another beekeeper, I don't get how you don't understand it? As long as the bees think their environment is right, they'll produce. One of my hives swarmed about three years back and I was too late to get to them. They took up residence in my old apple tree and I never knew because its on the backside of my property. Found out a year after and I check in when I harvest from my other hives sure that they'll die eventually. They haven't. They overwinter well. They produce even better. No matter how much of a beekeeper you are, you aren't a bee. A bee will always know how to do it better. They can manage themselves if need bee
