Moving Splits Into Ten Frame Boxes Part 2 

Looks like a great, great hives

Great video buddy ✅😁👍👍So nice to rob from the rich and.. 😉

I have a couple of nucs that I can not seem to sell that has 2 supers on them and are packing in the nectar fast. Gotta for sure get them some more space soon. Would put them into an 8 frame I have 5 extra double deep hives worth but I want them to keep on building so they can make extra for my weak Nucs to go into winter with.

You are braver than me - I never go into the bee yard without at least a veil on. It looks like you have a bunch of black plastic frames - I agree with your thinking - they are probably stronger than wood. When you purchase in bulk - they are the same cost of purchasing the wood frame components and plastic foundation.. So considering the time savings (no assembly), and that they are stronger and will last longer than their wooden competition - it makes sense to go with the plastic. (considering the stinging possibilities.... shorts aren't a good idea in my book.........)

👍 thanks for another great video!

Brett, are these nucs splits that you made earlier this spring? If so were they walk away splits or did you have Queens to put in them? They look good!

👏👏👏

Bret, why didn't you shake out the bees from the drone laying queen hive before you gave them the eggs and larvae to make a new queen? If the queen is still in that hive will they still make a new one?

I have a question I started with bees late last year around August my two hives come out of winter good but the boxes are heavy I'm thinking about going to a smaller hives and when it's time for the honey flow slide a couple of the boxes together put Queen excluders on top of the boxes then put 10 frame or 8 frame boxes on top for Honey boxes that way maybe only have to move them twice wants to put them on and wants to check the bees then with any luck last time to pull honey and I imagine that would be three times what do you think

So tell me how is it that you can put Apivar strips in your hive this time of year and still be able to consume the honey, I thought you had to wait until honey flow is over

I appreciate seeing how you deal with the "duds". Gives me the chance to see how ya deal with setbacks. Not so much interested idnseeing everything running perfectly as I wouldn't learn as much. keep it coming

You know when you don't think they will swarm they will

Is the spilt possible in winter ?

Just out of curiosity the person that helps you is that your wife or just help

Nobody told you that you can’t work bees wearing dark clothes! The bees figured you did not know so they cut you a break! Seriously I have never had a problem with that except for when I wear my watch, which has a dark brown band. If the bees are testy the invariably go for that.

I just found your video's. Can you please nix the overlay music please. Lots of valuable information that gets overlayed with the music. Sometimes I have to play parts twice just to hear what you said. Thank you. :)

I guess your wife smells too good 👍 to the bees, she is always veiled, and you almost never
