Inspecting Bee Hives after Splitting - The Bush Bee Man 

I love watching your videos with my daughter. Thank you from USA, SW Florida.

Have you thought of raising all your boxes onto stands for eye level so you save yourself some future knee replacements? Lol

i like this guy

Awsome! My grandfather did the same thing. He said he Loves his Little Ladies🐝🐝

Thank you guys for showing us you're bee farm!!

I have avoided plastic frames, mostly because of the space they take up before putting them into service. I just purchased some triple wax black foundation to give a try. i started out using DuraGilt, and have been foundationless for a couple of years. Stringing the frame with fishing line is fast and cheap, and reduces but does not eliminate blowouts when extracting. My main interest in trying plastic is to,see if it helps my tired old eyes spot eggs more easily as I haave started rearing my own queens. We'll see. Jeff Horchoff is trying rewaxing his plastic foundation by dipping. If I can accumulate enough wax I will give that a try. My goal for this year is sustainability, not production, so I will be Mr. Increase for 2020. Fortunately i am having good luck with swarms this year which will give me the population i need.

Hey Boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great vid appreciate you being a bit more educational.

I have a Hot Devil really good piece of kit .

I don't understand the need for using plastic in the hives, I love wood. Sure it can pull apart. But it creates an incentive to rotate old frames out of hives. Frames without way also make for great fire starters for the BBQ.

YES!

You need flowers to build out plastic frames 👌👌

Are you painting the plastic frame cells with wax first? Would that slow it

have you determined how the plastic hives do with heat

You need all them trees to turn white with flowers to fill them boxes up! How current are the videos what time of year is it.

New. Plas. It's plastic minus the tic, it's not plus it's plas

Bula from Fiji, am curious where you by you bee equipment from? Love your vids

I won't use plastic frames again. I only had a few and they proved to be the last frames the girls will touch, even when you put them towards the centre of the box.

I presume the m of Mac stands for mark but what does the bc stand for

Where is your frame holder Have you misplaced it?

Mate down here in southern Vic winter has hit and the bees are mainly doing cleansing flights only, as per usual all my honey has set hard in the barrels, it goes sugary a week after extraction, perhaps due to the tea tree and hawthorn. I might try to cream some this year, cause you cant give away sugary honey.

we dont wear bee suits so that we stay careful when working the bees. if you wear a bee suit then you dont care about beeing stung
