I’ve installed these on my hives and it’s very entertaining watching the SHB’s try to get around them. It’s a good design and benefits my bees for sure.
Supposedly the humming vibrations from the wings create the shape and clean the impurities that are put in the cells. We should thank God for these beautiful gifts that live a whole life to create a teaspoon of honey for us. One life span equals 1 teaspoon is what I read.
Thank you. Beeutiful with the gentle music. Blessings on the bees. Personally I feel we don't have the right to take honey the way we do .In natural bee keeping there is about one cup of honey left after the bees requirements are met. This says to me honey is a medicine,not something to have everyday. May peace be restored to earth, especially for the children and animals and bees ♥️🧡💛💚💙💎💜☀️🌹☀️
Made a hive from dr Leo's plans, the label roof would have been better. It's so much easier to chek your bee's than the other. A new swarm probably would be better than an established hive moved to one. The front latch is a good idea, mine actually blew open, they didn't like that. So adding a simple latch.
So, why not do Langstroth wide but Layens deep frames? If you are already working with Langstroth top bars and just adding extensions to the sides to make them deeper, just keep their original width. You're making the hives anyway, so you can customize them to any width.
Hello, Thanks for sharing these experiences with us. I'm wondering if there is a reason why you bumped the remaining bees outside the hive instead of doing it inside the hive ?
God is not one man. We are a consciousness. We are all made in the image of source. Bees heal us because they are not disconnected like humans currently are.

معجزة و ليس سحرا " و أوحى ربك إلى النحل أن اتخذي من الجبال بيوتا و من الشجر و مما يعرشون ثم كلي من كل الثمرات فاسلكي سبل ربك ذللا يخرج من بطونها شراب مختلف ألوانه فيه شفاء للناس ان في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون"
Hillco out of Minook IL has an extractor called the Minimax I believe . Does both Layens and Langetroth. A bit pricy but mine works really good. Got it in 4 days. Delivered right to my door
Learned a lot, you have great command of your subject. I didn't know about early vs late swarming, and i love the Layens hives and like to see the different versions. I think the cover boards approach can help give the bees the sense that they are not disturbed even while a hive inspection is ongoing... love your view hive too. I love the natural "follow the bees' lead, no need to wring out every drop of honey"... thanks, cheers.
My bottom boards have screens in them. Based on what you said about how small an entrance will work for beetles should I change my bottom boards as part of adding the guardian. I’m a newbie that just lost both my hives to shb
Came for the Layens Hive beekeeping, stayed to see your Chicken Kingdom: well done! My only thing is, I always hate to see a dog excluded from his pack: they are by nature pack animals. If he has to stay outside, could you not consider getting him a companion dog--rescue a middle size perfectly good dog from the pound to give your boy a pack when you leave him (and no,, chickens do not provide pack to a dog)... I'll be back, thanks for the tour of the lovely Chicken/Tool compound.
The only thing I'm giving up on in my life: is the need for specific conditions to be met, in order for me to be RADICALLY HONEST. RADICAL HONESTY is my modus operandi. JOY IS MY PURPOSE. YESHUA IS MY GUIDING LIGHT. 1. Decide who you want to be and BECOME THAT 2. Set FIRM AND CLEAR AND HONEST boundaries 3. Cut out ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that doesn't serve your health and your wealth 4. Take action every day toward your ideal life/reality 5. Gratitude 6. Master your mind/emotions (do not be a slave to these)! YOU ARE THEIR MASTER! 7. Keep your promises. Treat yourself like the Queen that you are. 8. Learn (and ultimately master) new HEALTHY skills 9. UNDERSTAND: not every man is built to see your value. They are not all capable nor able. 10. Be confident and authentic 11. Create peace around you, and within you 12. NEVER EVER accept anything/anyone that disrespects you and your boundaries 13. Be open to correction and growth and evolution and learning and unlearning 14. Be the woman God wants you to be and has created you to be A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, EVER, period. So... If he ignores me I will step back and he will lose me. I don’t play any of these childish abusive controlling mind-games. I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me, and treats me as the Queen that I AM. Because I am a beautiful and kind and sexy and wise and magical woman: who knows my worth. Period. Whenever you are alone, remind yourself that GOD has sent everyone else away, so that there is only you and him... Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE IN ECSTATIC MOTION, BABY! Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes... For those who love with their heart and soul there is no such thing as separation. You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens (It is only then, that GOD can truly totally completely fully enter)! Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart. --- Rumi You are constantly being re-born, re-created, re-generated, every moment. No belief is contained, held, or stored anywhere. It might cause a cascade that brings a symptom, breathing patterns, somewhere in the body, but the concepts, thoughts, and stories are constantly being re-created. You are generating it ALL, and this is unconscious. You can change in an instant!!! Every morning you wake up, your life story is re-constructed. Do I have to wake up believing reality is the way I believed it was yesterday? When breathing is restricted, get curious about what is holding it back, when it is open get curious about why that is... YOU are the Artist! Awareness of something alone IS enough, it untangles itself, the knots let go of you. Choose Freedom, take responsibility for your own suffering.
I really like your videos but in this video you made a big mistake: you had your observational hive next you for a long time and you never showed us a single thing in it.
You are absolutely right - I'm putting together footage for a part 2 and I will include the before / after look of the O-Hive. I agree, that I should have done that in part 1, so thanks for bearing with me:). I'm tied up till early July, so it's coming as soon as I get the editing done. Have a great day and thanks agin for your input!
I noticed the wax moth damage to your box. I lost two hives over winter/spring to wax moths. Thank you very much for sharing from your years of experience.
Yeah - this box was sitting empty for a couple years and I just got to cleaning up the wax moth damage about 2 months ago. They really dig into the wood and mess things up. It's still good after you clean up, and the bees like the textured surface to crawl on, so it's not a total loss I suppose. Thanks again for watchng!
I sincerely request your thoughts after using both Layens and Lazutin boxes. I use Layens boxes exclusively, but am only two year into my beekeeping journey. I'm in the same climate zone as you.
I've noticed in older videos you had quite a few hive beetle in the past. I realize you probably didn't do a scientific comparison from before and after, but can you give a ballpark percentage on how much fewer beetles you have? Please and thank you.
