Save the comb, clean it up with low pressure air and reuse it.
If there is mold or mildew present, blow of as much lose material as possible and then immerse the comb/frame in a bucket of 10% bleach solution for two hours. Then rinse out softened pollen and other debris with fresh water.
Air Dry and put into storage, or re-assemble your hive.
Yes, there was some moisture coming out of the nozzle, the tank needed to be drained.
This air compressor is too small, I'm in the market for a larger capacity unit.
You can use air to blow off your bottom boards also.

Great quick tip thanks for sharing On another note, the guys from the stream team beekeeping chat have a lot of questions and they think you are the guy to answer them! Further request I am posting on your video in an effort to get your attention😂

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

I never say no to the Stream Team :)

I'm glad you found it helpful, Grayson! :)

@MrHighjumper83 28 дней назад

Great tip! I have several frames I need to do this with, I'll be picking up one of those nozzles tomorrow. Thanks!

@jenjohnson2984 Месяц назад

Not me over here with tweezers pulling dead bees out…..🙄. Will certainly get one of these.

@jamestownsendjrtbees3226 Месяц назад

I am going to try this with old bee bread/pollen frames. Nice tip, thanks Fred.

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

I hope it works out for you :)

@user-zt1pq7hq6y Месяц назад

Quick tips are great. Because I didn't know what to do...I usually just cut the comb out of the frames because too much work to remove the dead bees...Yea...a new dawn, and now I'm going to fire up my compressor. Thanks a million.

Hi Fred. Gos i dont even know if youll see this but leaving my question here.....im 55 yrs old and my son and I have our first hive ever. Very new. Even tho ive watch a ton of videos and read so much information, now that i have a hive i wish there was an organized way to watch videos in order to help me know what to do next. So many videos out there for getting started and setting up but ugh now what. Im a little nervous and dont know a soul in this area to ask. Live in Provo Utah and feeling so along. Plus it is hard for me to ever ask for help. But i trust you and love all that i have learned. Hope my question makes sense and that you even see this.🤪🙂 thank you for all you do. You are one heck of an amazing human. ❤

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Hi Megan, thank you for the wonderful compliment. There are many beginner beekeeping courses, likely because that's what most searches entail. There are online video based courses that you can take. I'm one of the instructors at TheBeeKeeper.org www.fredsfinefowl.com/learnbeekeepingonline.html You can also go to my RU-vid Channel home page and in the upper right, you'll see a magnifying glass where you can type in your search for a specific topic or demonstration. All Free :)

@davidmartin6312 Месяц назад

Great tip Fred. I didn't know that you could use bleach on a wax frame but it makes sense . Bleach kills a lot of bad bacteria.

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

I'm glad it's helpful. :) The bleach also dissolves most of the organic detritus while not destroying the wax structure.

@ravensnflies8167 Месяц назад

Thanks a lot! First timer here and your channel is a boon!

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Thank you so much, and welcome to my channel :)

@kennith. Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing. Looked quite effective.

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Thanks for watching, it's a time saver for sure.

@JeffHorchoff Месяц назад

HeyFred, can I use that air pressure to blow out hive beetle maggots after I’ve frozen the frame? Really like this video, I even gave you a thumbs up! God’s peace brother.

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Hold my smoker! Jeff, aka Mr. Ed gave me a thumbs up? (';')( ';')...! My day is made! :) You're going to just have to try it out as I don't have any hive beetle specimens around here to test it out on. Thanks for stopping by :)

@lambbrookfarm4528 Месяц назад

Super great tip!

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Thanks. :)

@alecjaquez9194 Месяц назад

Thank Fred. I got my first swarm 3 days ago.. I made a 10 frame deep box 🗃️ but instead of regular frame I used a 5gl paint stick & I glue center pice to guide the bees when they start doing the drawing foundation.. my question is how longer I live then alone, before I check for the queen, I also want to change the cover to one with the feeder hole.. should I feed them on the first weeks? Or leave them alone..

@seanrichardson881 Месяц назад

I see LP air and I'm thinking liquid propane gas. Low pressure, I see. Wow that looks way better than using tweezers!

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

tweezers are so ten minutes ago... (';')( ';')... :)

@trishwestberg6982 Месяц назад

Can you show the type of rack you store your unused frames on, please!

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

I use a variety of storage, I've build wall-mounted ready-racks when I need frames fast. I also use Hive Butler Totes, and of course, I leave them in super boxes after cleanup. It's a mixed bag of storage options. I guess I should make a quick-tip on that. Thanks, Trish :)

@14623carolanne Месяц назад

Thank you Fred...I tap frames on stair and pull out the rest with tweezers...Will try this! Still obsessed about the bees not putting much honey in bottom deeps for winter. I rotated boxes April...What if I left the deep on top of the med for winter?

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

You are free to try that out, but I highly suggest that you keep some the same and unrotated for comparison.

@14623carolanne Месяц назад

@FrederickDunn Agree 👍 I didn't rotate all my boxes in April for comparison, just like you teach

@14623carolanne Месяц назад

@FrederickDunn How heavy are your bottom deeps going into winter?

@wrad8292 Месяц назад

That's gross. 😂 Thanks! Not many cover how messy it can be to clear out a hive. 👍

@coincollector315 Месяц назад

When you say low pressure what was the PSI you were using.

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

90 psi, but it quickly falls off to 40 psi while in use. I need a bigger air tank.

@WildflowerApiary Месяц назад

so with bigger tank it’s better to set to 90psi?

@kevinwingert4754 Месяц назад

Duhh, hello. 90 psi is 90 until your air tank can not sustain that air pressure and it drops off. Get as big an air tank as you think you need for 10 to twenty frames, and take a break while it fills up again. 5 minutes is a you need before compressors shut off again. Repeat .Wear ear muffs. And watch out for bits of larvae getting in your eye. It can happen and it slows down your operating time, a lot. Dangers with tips.

@rickabrams3422 Месяц назад

read the title and thought Liquid Petroleum? what the heck is he up to now?

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

:) made ya look! :)

@rickabrams3422 Месяц назад

@@FrederickDunn yes you did sir. well done :)

@curiouscoy492 Месяц назад

This would work using an Avid Power Tire Inflator , Car Air Compressor (20V Cordless with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery , 12V Car Power Adapter , Digital Pressure Gauge , Portable Auto Air Pump for Many Inflatables) - a bike tire or car tire inflation devices - wouldn't it?

@FrederickDunn Месяц назад

Not sure that those would have the flow-volume necessary, but you could try it and see.
