Hi Dave, love your videos! Don't mean to be that guy but I noticed that you didn't change the bad box ! Something I would do! Then do over! God Bless keep your videos coming!

@beek 11 месяцев назад

I did, the bad box was the unpainted one.

@ThomasMincarelli-fj8cu 11 месяцев назад

I use steel frame rests to make repairs on gouged wood on the top edges. Usually it only takes a few inches so one piece can make a lot of repairs and straightens the edge back.

@davidwatson6209 11 месяцев назад

Can't you use a hand plane and smooth your corner or draw knife to trim the corner

@WildwoodsBeekeeping 11 месяцев назад

Good Video David, Would Love To Come But Just too Busy Right Now, But maybe Next Time. Good stuff David

Glue in a wedge or cover with a flat of wood on the outside of hole

@Joannahartley 11 месяцев назад

I wanna come....my 11yr old is the one who is in love with the honey bees. And this spring we got two hives! She can even tell the breed by the color of the honey bees!

@LindaSullivan-sw3mv 11 месяцев назад

I wish I could come! Hopefully, next time. I love watching your videos and learning from them.

@matthewjohnson2133 11 месяцев назад

I’m going to be traveling on Sunday from Illinois to Columbus Ohio for appointment at the VA sucks. I’m not gonna be out there on Saturday.

@hondafreak241 11 месяцев назад

Great video been watching you since my wife and i started bee keeping. You definitely gave some prime advice to keep us bee keeping and not bee having. If you can't find someone to give out that golden ticket I'll take one right here 😅

@paulgroth5414 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately or fortunately lol, I will be selling honey at a farmers market! Maybe next year when they invite everyone I can make it , sure would be fun. Great content David!

@heavymechanic2 11 месяцев назад

David, some of my new hive bodies from a national supplier had large gaps from poor fitment. I nearly lost a single deep from poor fitment and I cut strips of cardboard to fill the gaps (wrapping the strips with painters tape made them durable), the hive survived after closing off all the unnecessary ventilation. Because of the fitment issues with woodenware, I'm looking at insulated hive bodies and the Apimaye type (knockoff) has done really well this summer, not really fond of the overlapping hive-bodies similar to a telescoping cover.

@jessicafairfax_Bens_Bees 11 месяцев назад

Live stream sneak peak for those who can't join on Saturday? Maybe. 😁👍🐝💜

@beek 11 месяцев назад

I’ll try the internet is questionable

@timtulowitzky 11 месяцев назад

When your introducing the bee package to the hive, would it be beneficial to install a queen excluder on the base, under the brood box? That way there’s no way for the queen to leave the hive. Then in 10 days +-, you can take it out. That way you won’t loose the swarm. Thanks for your knowledge

@beek 11 месяцев назад

Yea that’s always been my recommendation

@rosecimarusti1698 11 месяцев назад

I had 2 hives last year and new to bee keeping. Well a little history only there on weekends (sometimes) and know nothing about bee keeping and used your site to educate me. hives are in northern Wisconsin, I live in Illinois and of course lots of snow around at least 3 to 4 feet high there. Needless to say all dead I brushed out the dead bees in the hives in the spring (didn’t remove honey) and moved the bee free hives to a run down shelter and now the bees are back. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN original Bees came from California (lucky me)

@anthonypeterson3112 11 месяцев назад

I'm in

@laurahilger820 11 месяцев назад

You removed a super and put it on the cart. How did you get those bees that were in that super back into the hive before closing it up?

@bradleymercer4957 11 месяцев назад

David, have you ever experimented with getting winter brood born in early fall building out comb?

@BZBees247 11 месяцев назад

Hey First comment!!!! Great video, keep it coming Dave

@scotthenderson4376 11 месяцев назад

I have a swarm that showed up 2 weeks ago and I put them in a Nuc. Started feeding them with a jar on top ( will continue to feed them ). the box has a vent on the top side and 3 days ago I saw a hummingbird at the Nuc. Then robbers showed up so I locked them all in closed the vent. Hopefully when I open it up in 2-3 days they will all play nice together. I hate robbing

@CastleHives 11 месяцев назад

Really looking forward to this weekend David.

@beeamazzzinghives 11 месяцев назад

Maybe I can will a ticket from David...lol

@beeamazzzinghives 11 месяцев назад

Following every video for the great tips!

@normandtrottier3649 11 месяцев назад

Hi Dave, I am a first year bee keeper thanks for all of the great information, you talk about robber bees, how do you tell the difference between robber bees and your hive bees

@beek 11 месяцев назад

One is a picnic in the park, the other is an all out war

@heavymechanic2 11 месяцев назад

Your bees will be going in & out gracefully. Robber bees are sniffing around all over the hive and nearly bouncing off the front from unusual activity. The other day it looked like I was in the middle of a swarm, a small nuc box was under attack, after 30 min all the bees were gone.

@geraltofrivia8529 11 месяцев назад

Robbers look a lot like bees taking orientation flights close to the hive. Keep an eye out for it any time you do a manipulation. The "damp cloth" technique can really help, or spraying water at the offending cloud until they calm a little once you have closed the entrance right down and fixed any gaps in the hive.

@MagnoliaSpringsFarm19 11 месяцев назад

My hives have some gaps like this. I'm totally disappointed in the quality. So, over fall and winter, I'm going to build my own stuff.

@kitemanks 11 месяцев назад

HI David I winter winter with 2 deeps and a super here in Kansas too. I got in to a problem last year when using winter be kind on the top. The bees ate that and never really ate the honey in the super all that much and then when I started open feeding in late winter early spring I was afraid the super would have sugar water in it. How do you get around this?? In the past my super emptied out because I hadn't fed candy board in the winter, but It was a 50/50 shot if I would have bees in the spring. Using winter bee kind candy boards really kept my collony strong and numerous ready to go in the spring, so I want to keep doing that. I just dont want to harvest sugar water and think its honey. Thanks for all you do, I really love your channel and videos.

Use a belt sander to bring down that 1/8"

@ChickenBaconRanch4359 11 месяцев назад

I put my extraction equipment out last weekend to let bees clean it up 200 yards away from my hives. Unfortunately wasps seem to have killed piles of honey bees around my equipment. Thoughts?
