Join me on a crucial journey as I conduct the fourth inspection on three abandoned beehives just before winter's harsh grip. With each hive telling its own story, we uncover the stark reality of potential queenlessness and impending doom, alongside a glimmer of hope in one hive that stands considerably stronger. Don't miss out on this gripping tale of resilience, dedication, and the ultimate fight to save our precious bee colonies!

I don't know anything about beekeeping but ive been enjoying this series. Hope they do well over winter.

@aussiebeekeeping 2 дня назад

Thankyou. I hope the same.

Really love the way you filmed that intro. Would like to see more of that. It was so beautifully done! Both the music portion and the slow video of their box and hive entrance.

@aussiebeekeeping 5 дней назад

Thank you. It means a lot. I enjoy making those intro. I just have to find a balance of “something for everyone” in my videos otherwise they would be all music and bees.

Great video shame they’re not doing so well, but that’s beekeeping 😂. All the best let’s see how they go in a few months. Thanks again for sharing. Didn’t expect to see the wasp, gad I haven’t gotten any of them yet. TrickyTrev 👍🐝🍯

Thank you for all your comments while inspecting. I think I may have taken too many resources from a hive and your commentary helped me see that. We learn from each other.

@veronicac660 Месяц назад

That middle hive has lots of well laid eggs, I'd bet they do ok if fed heavily through winter

Great video! Bringa me back to childhood my grand dad was a bee keeper up in the north of Sweden.

@Jos-scifiwriter Месяц назад

ACK! That's a rough find going into winter😬 hi from central Otago southern New Zealand 👋 🥝 😄 ironically I'm waiting for the temperature to go UP to ten Celcius so I can check a hobbyists hives, one of which I'm buying because he only wants two hives. The hobbyist hadn't done anything with them since January, so, We had a warm spell ten days ago, decided to rush over and I got smartly stung in the eye on the first hive, yes, THE EYE 😫so that was the end of that, stuck excluder combined with a Bee veil malfunction I didn't notice until it was to late😂 hurt much, do not repeat. Now that's beekeeping 😂🐝😫🔥

@marcwilson3894 Месяц назад

Love your videos great content as we don’t see much here in Aus. Should try to run a mat over the brood box to keep the warmth in with a gap so they can go up if needed I’m trying a plastic sheet on mine this year to see how they go. Cheers Marc

You have had a hard season this year, it has taken you a lot of work to get to this point. Sorry the out come of some hasn't been what you would have liked.

@aussiebeekeeping Месяц назад

Ah it’s all good. There’s always next year. Hehe. Thanks for your support.

@Blackswan19874 21 день назад

Didn’t see any eggs , larvae or capped brood in the 3rd box , do you think she could be a virgin Queen ? Here in Florida even in our brief cooler weather it’s usually unlikely that queens get mated that late in the season. Your thoughts … Really enjoy your videos , well done !

European honey bees an Invasive species we can't live without.

@rtxhoneybees Месяц назад

Number one cause of colony death is varroa mites. Number two cause of colony death is the beekeeper. Doing nothing is often the best course of action. Good luck mate. Its winter, aka worry, season!

@aussiebeekeeping Месяц назад

I agree. Shouldn’t have touched them until spring.

@technology2598 28 дней назад

Maybe you could take a frame from a more well off Hive and transplant it to one that isn’t doing well just to get the hives that might not make it just over the line. Although this might not work unless you can confirm that both the troubled hives have queens and you don’t want to put a good hive into the same position as the others by taking too much so it can be a bit of a risk or if you think one hive isn’t likely to survive you could use the resources from that one to save the other in a triage type of situation where it’s not as tragic given your at least able to save a hive rather than loosing both.

@bugz000 Месяц назад

would there be any hope to combine all the hives to the one functional queen and bolster their stores for the winter?

@aussiebeekeeping Месяц назад

Potentially. I’m hopeful about saving all three.

@bugz000 Месяц назад

@@aussiebeekeeping i know nothing about beekeeping, only binge watched barnyard bees, i've watched him split and merge many hives, from what i've seen he ensures they have no queen and there's an ominous hum from the hive, he'll put the destination hive on the floor, and simply dump the bees out on the floor infront of the destination hive and they pick up the scent of the queen and begin tracking into the new hive, some squabbles happen between the two hives initially but they seem to accept eachother in the end ofcourse i'm absolutely certain it's more complex than this, but it just seems to me that this would be the best course of action, specially if you have some full honey frames etc to pass to the new hive, he also has these feeder lids on the hives if they are struggling so they can get food during winter i trust you will work something out

@tingtingsf 20 дней назад

Will you feed them?

@aussiebeekeeping 20 дней назад

Probably not.

@Serendipity_Strawberry_Farm Месяц назад

I have a dumb question if you have a queen in one hive which we saw would it be better to put all of the frames into one stack with the capped honey so that they can hopefully get through or will placing the other bees from the other hives mean that they would fight each other?

@tjs114 Месяц назад

I'm really confused about that lid that's full of honey that the bees could use. You put down a reflector sheet of insulation -- solid-- and a queen excluder and then the lid. How, exactly are the bees supposed to reclaim the contents of that lid if you've completely blocked their access?

They aren’t. The ants are

@ianallen2 Месяц назад

Doesnt the first hive need a box on top ? There seems to be a lot of bees in just one box. I thought that when you rescued them.

@chrishar110 25 дней назад

It's better to have one box in the winter if they fit in. They can manage the temp much better. They will save a lot of food if they don't have to warm another box.

@ianallen2 25 дней назад

@@chrishar110 Never thought of it that way. I would love to have a bee hive in my garden. But they are so dear to buy used here in hte UK

@chrishar110 25 дней назад

I wish I could have a hive too in Wigan, but I don't have any land to have it and I don't think that my neighbours would love the idea to have it at my back yard.

@HeatherNaturaly Месяц назад

Those hives were thriving till you started messing with them....Your attitude of 'I'm in charge of how and what they do' is what is killing those hives. You deliberately slaughtered several queens in your rampage through the inspections and management. Serves you right.

Thanks for watching. I tried to find your beekeeping videos but only found a video of a painted turtle. Shame on you. Feel free to link me your beekeeping prowess videos for critique

Did you followed his earlier videos about these hives you would know he rescued these hives off another beekeeper who had abandoned them. He is letting them settle down over our winter before reforming the bees in the spring.

@shifty198885 Месяц назад

These hives are not his. I think this is a Series. These hives have been abandoned with no care for over a year. It's been very interesting seeing all these!
