That is SO cool!! We got our first swarm a few months ago after we gave up on getting any. Had a box set up with some blanks and 5 frames with honey. It took almost two years for bees to find it. Our Bee keeping journey has begun.

@@whitehouseonthehill the only reason why you lose bee hives is the fact you have no knowledge about beekeeping,you are doing everything wrong starting from hives if you have dead hive remove all comb and put new wax and then instal bees,second don't use plastic foundations because i see in videos that they make half frame wax and on the corners nothing,next thing don't paint inside hive,don't buy bee queens which have paint all over their body because there is big chanse she will die,don't open very bees often,don't add second box if there is no at least 5 frames of brood and by that i mean more than half of frame,do treatment for varroa mite,bees can die even if they have honey in hive because if it is cold they can't move towards honey and they eventually die to help them put brood in centre and around honey frames,and during winter add sugar patty it will be like bridge for them to honey frames and it will keep bee cluster thight,in october add paper or any material that keep warmth,expand brood by adding empty frame to brood frame in the end of march and im may you can put frame in centre of brood the reason you do this is that in spring qeens lay a lot of eggs and you make space for her to lay more brood you repeat this as soon as queen lay entire frame,in may you will have strong hives and lot of swarms, i recommend you to use lr hive because it's the best hive for beekeeping,make swarms as soon as you have queen cells take 2 frames of brood and queen and 1 frame of honey and put that in new box,in the hive you take that from leave queen cells and they will make new queen very fast ,in august give them sugar water in ratio 1:1 ,this will stimulate queen to lay more winter bees and with a lot of bees they will easier survive,give them 1 liter every 2 days for 2 weeks, another mistake is bees can't always make their own queen it depends from season it takes 1 month for queen to start laying and sometimes it is to long because hive gets weaker,if you don't apply this advices and if you don't find good beekeper to teach you,you will always lose hives and they will always die,don't understand this as hate thought i tell you this to improve your skills about bees and to stop buying every year swarms but you will be able to sell them greetings from Europe

I didn't panic bcos I'm not afraid of honey bees. I never got stung even one time! I just sat there and they just explored. It was the most awesome experience!

Im sorry, but you should be sure to look at other pages for beekeeping info (David Burns is a really great start). This guy is inexperienced, while nothing is wrong with that, however the issues he often has is a direct result of the inexperience, and in each beekeeping video, there are definate signs to show this, and I would hate other beekeepers to make said same mistakes.

Those small cups are called queen cups. Most hives will have those and never do anything with them. A queen cell is much longer and points down. Usually along the bottom of the frame if the hive is planning a swarm, or in the middle of the frame if they are planning to supersede the queen. So fun watching your channel!

Woo hoo! How exciting and lucky are those bees that you guys had the resources there to make them up a quick hive and keep them alive, till a queen hatched

[@nancycowan6109]

You may have explained this before but how does a hive grow out a queen? The bee business is fascinating. The honey? The best. Good luck to you. ❤️

[@PrincessofthePrincesses]

basically female nurse bees make potential queen bees and feed them royal jelly eventually queens will hatch out and one stays then the queen begins to make more workers and no other worker can continue to mate only the queen does and as long as the queen is doing her job then she wont be killed and the colony will thrive

[@LizzyDel]

In case you wonder about robbing from other hives: Robbing bees fly right up when opening the hive. Normally bees should be chill when opening up.
