Part 1: Design of an Australian Native Beehive 

I'm super excited about getting into native bee keeping. Thanks for the info Dr Tim.

Love the birds and background noise in this, informative too :)

So nice your work Tim It's glad to see you here.

Awesome work Tim!

great stuff. In malaysia, we just use a topping on top of the log.

thank you so much, great little vid. so clear and easy to understand, cheers!

hi dr. Tim thank you for your nice video.

Thanks Tim! Great informative video! X

Well explained sir . Thanks for your design .

Such hive is just for a small family. Normal family is 50000-80000 bees and they need a volume around 100 L. An entrance - like a small hole will be a huge problems for coming in and out bees and it's not enough for ventilation of a inner volume of a hive.

Amazing video Thnks for share. Regards from Brasil

very well explained. thank you. It's good to know the why? behind the what.

Por favor miren videos de meliponicultura,de colombia, Brasil, argentina Perú Guatemala y aprendan el manejo de las abejas y como hacer colmenas meliponas

Awesome

Thanks mate

Can u show us how they make the middle pare and top part

Thanks :)

Awesome explainations! Thank you! Does the box design have to be a box rectangular wood, or could other shapes and materials be used?

Mantap.

Good presentation!! What are your thoughts on the plastic dividers with a large hole in the middle to allow room for brood as an alternative to the anti slumping bars? I have found a Native bee hive in a friends wall that I'm planning on trying to duplicate. Never had anything to do with natives, do you have any tips??

How does the brood excluder stop the bees from laying eggs in the honey super?

Whats the dimension of the box?

Where can I purchase a well constructed native bee hive?

Great and informative videos. Can I ask a question? I have a two-tier hive that is thriving and have built a new three tier hive as described with a spare brood box to add to the existing hive when split. Now I have a dilemma, how do I now get the brood from the top of the existing hive to move into the middle brood box? I’ve nailed the plastic divider in place, but screwed the slump bars.

Thanks for the video. Do you have a list of materials required for the build?

Really good explanation , excuse me i would like to ask you ? In each section ..are you use any glue ? or not .. I am a beginner in bee world , i keep austroplebeia cincta and tetragonula cf mellipes in Merauke Southern Papua Indonesia

Hey mate, where can i find the plans for your design please ?

Interesting watch. I may sound naive but do the Bees just turn up "if you build it they'll come" style or do you need to source a queen from somewhere and put it the hive. I am in a semi-urban estate with a large back yard and would like to give it a try for a bit of a hobby. thank you

How do we get this type of bee in another continent? Southern Cali.

Thanks Tim, wondering about the metal "roof" - did you shape that yourself - if so, any tips?

Sae pisann

thanks that was a informative session thanks do native hives get attacked the same way as the honey bee hive by the beetle?

does the honey in the supper not fall down when you lift it in order to extract the honey. thanks

can you buy pre made sugar bag boxes anywhere? I want one please Tim can I buy one from you via paypal?? yes yes yes

Hai sir

I’m curious, there are so many places to find the OATH hive and its variations. How come getting an Australis hive design is nearly impossible. It a shame. A love Austroplebea species.

Where do you get one ?As terrible at construction.

Why is a grown man using up-talk....Anyhow, I can not imagine an "Australian Native" designing anything so cludgy and so clumsy looking.

Awesome
