WOW, That Was Quick - Horizontal Hive or Layens Hive Assembly - High Speed

[@mcockerham2003]

I would much rather watch a high speed video with commentary than a person struggling to fill the time with pointless chatter. I enjoyed seeing another take on the horizontal hive.

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thanks for watching

[@tonyhash1174]

I think high speed is the way to show an assembly type video.

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thanks for the feedback

[@rstlr01]

This speed was great!

[@dennislintz1]

I agree.

[@charleslamarbaldree4978]

Perfect on the speed

I am a 72 year old female in Las Vegas Spring Mountains who watched this entire video. I have noticed the bees making hives in the natural peat moss shore of my large pond and have wondered what to do about those bees! I have been watching Doug & Leo's bee videos and may help save those bees by having my son build that beautiful horizontal bee hotel after I hang a bee catcher next Spring in the willow that graces the pond. My son will be the builder! Thank you!

[@joeblow1934]

Please make sure that they are honey bees. Some pretty nasty bees live in the ground.

[@adelinawarriner6259]

​@joeblow1934 there are over 5200 varieties of bee in the US, many ground dwellers are not aggressive.... it's the wasps you gotta watch for

[@rossigangl7185]

Love the high speed also...saves a lot of skipping ahead that I usually do. Voice over saved a lot of rambling that seems to happen in live instruction videos. Would love similar video on the prep work of cutting. I know it seems straight forward but I always learn different tricks and tips that others use and I appreciate doing things easier if possible. We didn’t have a dado so we used other means to make it happen. I’m not a wood worker but I enjoy DIY and learning. In fact I make my husband double check my measurements often! 😂 Thank you for your video!

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thanks for watching

[@chucklaizure1442]

LOVED the high speed, can't stand watching every cut and screw go in at standard speed. Anyone can slow the speed they watch on the viewer anyway. Thanks for your effort in making and posting your work, very nice.

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to watch and comment

[@ChrisBloom]

very cool. I'm the one that drew up the construction diagrams for Dr. Leo on this hive in his new book. Neat to see one going together!

[@BeldingHillFarms]

That's pretty cool. Small world! The plans are great. The only issue I had was not having the same size plywood available. I made a few small tweaks. Thanks for commenting.

[@leeethell4145]

Chris Bloom any chance you drew them in metric too?

[@Jasfras1]

Can you put sizes in mm too. Please

[@emills1417]

Very helpful video. I bought one Layen's Hive from Dr. Leo and hope to make more. His instructions for the insulated hive didn't have pictures so this video filled in some blanks for me.

[@Acetop108]

I like the high speed video and still got the basic idea to build this layen style hive. Thank you for making this video.

[@anthonypayne6032]

This is great vid, I have the plans and beekeeping with a smile from Dr Leo nice to see it put together in Hight speed as I'm a carpenter just like to see things fit together. This will be my first year doing bees so looking forward to the build and the bees. Thank you for your build.

I liked the video for a quick how it's put together, but just like you I would watch and enjoy a complete how to right down to the 32nd. Liked and subbed. Hello from the Kentucky mountains USA 👍

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thanks for the comment and we really appreciate the sub and like. Glad to have you along. It is hard to hit firmly in the middle, to make the highest number of people interested. Out of curiosity, are you a bee keeper now or are you researching? We haven’t used the Layens horizontal hive yet, but we did use the Langstroth and didn’t like them. We have 10 swarm traps out now, hoping to catch some bees soon. We are likely a few weeks behind you in weather warming up.

[@houstonsheltonbees814]

@@BeldingHillFarms I am. Langstroth hives. I have 2 3 4 5 8 10 frame boxes. I know and to top it off I have 3 different frame sizes. Shallow med and deep. Not to mention the swarm traps. Oh yeah I have one top bar hive too. I picked up a few copy's of his books. I recommend them all. Keeping bee's with a smile has more hive plans in it. But the keeping horizontal hives has better stuff but that's just my opinion. The Gilles queen rearing book is exactly what I was looking for. Also his garden and fruit tree books are great. Nothing affiliated just a fan. I follow a lot of Russian Beekeepers and their style and am trying to find a more standard universal style of equipment. I'm all over the place. Lol....adhd+Beekeeper. Thanks for your response looking forward to seeing your content.

Great video. I'm starting to think I could build my own. I will definitely get a nail gun. That will be vital for building hives, and chickshaws.

[@DEVUNK88]

high speed is fine....I personally watch a lot of youtube videos of many differnet topics looking for the important info I need, I personally just use the left and right arrow keeps to move ahead 5 second at a time or numbers 1-9 move you along the video in tenths and sometime I just hover over the time bar and look at the thumbnail preview that pops up to find specific parts of the video that I think are showing what I am looking for.... but in your case the sped up assembly with the voice over is a good way to talk about what your doing and is very helpful

[@BeldingHillFarms]

Thank you for your feedback, I watch things the same as you. Lol. Show me the good stuff!!

[@DEVUNK88]

@@BeldingHillFarms sometimes I end up watching hour long videos from start to finish. This video interested me cause we just got done building four of our own insulated horizontal langstroth hives (if I make a vid I'll post a link), and part of the reason was because of the advantages Dr. Leo talked about, I was curious to see what his plans where like and how you constructed yours. I did ours in a very different manner for a variety of reasons, but ultimately it will perform the same function and I thought it the way you did it looked pretty easy

[@petershortsleeves3981]

Same to you. Let us know how the hive and swarm traps work out. We have 10 swarm traps out, but it has been very cold here in New Brunswick, Canada. It has only warmed up the last few days. I'm hoping we will at least catch one swarm.

Thank you for showing the full setup. Personally, I would have preferred a non-sped up video. I like seeing the full break-down, and the reduced speed helps give my mind time to process how everything is being put together (newbie here), rather than struggling to keep up as the video races forward. But I know a lot of people prefer the faster speed. I'm just one of those who are the opposite. Lol. But I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Watched it all the way to the end!

Well done! I rushed, & built a horizontal hive, but realized later, it was a version of the langstroth with shallow frames, & no screened bottom. 😖 I live in a cold climate, so my first hive, is not very useful in my area.
