ABANDONED BEE HIVE - Inspection and split - Angry bees & honey
The plan was to locate the queen and some suitable frames of feed, brood and new bees and simply place them in the nucleus box. So much for plans. The bees needed a little more work than expected and this is typical of beekeeping. I'm certainly not the best of knowlegable beekeeper out there but even I felt the bees didn't want me there. These were angry bees towards the end of the video and even after elaving the hive the bees didn't leave me alone.

You should save that wax

@Coldsmoking Год назад

i do usually, not so much when it’s heavily propolised.

I’m kind of new to beekeeping but was instructed to “never put scrapings of honey and comb on the ground near the hive or you attract was moth”….is that really a thing? I haven’t had a problem yet…

@Coldsmoking 2 года назад

thats a good question. i haven’t heard that before. i only leave it until the next inspection and only if it has honey in it. lets see if others have a comment on the subject.

@feikeNL Год назад

Indeed, I always put my scraping in a box and work clean. There are not only moth but also mice and wasps than can be attracted. It also helps to keep cool and work precise. I recommend covering open boxes with a cloth or thin towel.

@rochellelivoni1969 Год назад

What were you scraping off the top of the frames in the brood box?

@Coldsmoking Год назад

propolised wax 👍which i generally don’t keep unless i’m asked for it

@viscache1 2 года назад

Bees LOVE electronics and wiring! It’s a real thing. Thanks for another great video! Always interesting.

@Coldsmoking 2 года назад

you’re welcome. just so long as it keeps them off me.

@raybaba4263 Год назад

Water mix with honey will spoil in 24 hrs It could give the bees running belly

@Coldsmoking Год назад

hi Ray you’re absolutely right. i failed to mention i raised the temp of this mixture to 75c prior to using. good observation though. sick bees are not a good thing for any beekeeper 👍👍.

@samwebb2516 2 года назад

Definitely needs a new queen. Hives are no fun when they’re like that. I hate getting followed.

@Coldsmoking 2 года назад

absolutely, they were still on me for 15 minutes after i stopped filming. mad!!! and yes it takes all the enjoyment out of it.

@NolaSpiersMitchell-gu5iu Год назад

So what’s the all the white grubs on top is it moth

@Coldsmoking Год назад

No its not moth. Where the bees have added brood comb between frames this tears apart when the hive is opened and you can see the developing pupae

@patrickmcauley151 6 месяцев назад

No it’s drone Brod

@prairiefire4032 Год назад

If I followed the video you now have made a split with no queen. Will the bees not return to their original hive with their Queen resides? Are you going to put a new Queen in the newly split off box?

@Coldsmoking Год назад

Some would have returned to their mother hive but there were a lot of new bees in the hive that stayed and the the queen cells introduced were quite mature and hatched within a few days. I could have blocked up the entrance to keep them there with hindsight but it seemed to work out ok.

It's good the fibre concrete reacted well to frost, especially the price of material's at the moment. Don't worry about the after weekend feeling, i think it's down to our age. The older you get the harder it is to get over it.

@Coldsmoking Год назад

not sure i understand your comment Paul!

@paulfairbrass4424 Год назад

@@Coldsmoking in the day's before mixing concrete with fibres for added strength and additives, concrete had a habit of cracking badly in cold weather just after pouring. The water would freeze in the concrete expand and split it.
