I’m glad you found my video helpful. I hope to make some more in the future Thanks

That’s awesome. Bees are a lot of work. You need to check the brood ever 4-7 weeks depending on the honey flow.

I’m glad you were able to take something away from it. Thank you 😊

Thanks so much for your feedback. I’m glad you can see the importance of looking after our bees.

same here! voice is too quiet & music is too loud!

Congratulations on starting your beekeeping journey. You will love your little ladies. Just take care in the cooler months to protect your hive.

Thanks so much

Our bees are on Edinburgh drive, not far from your road. Are you planning to restock your hive?

Hey Stephan, thanks for watching! Yeh the tin is two fold for us, one it keeps the sun off the hive and two it stops rain coming into their entrance. Early on we had issues with the rain and it backfilling in the hive if it wasn’t 100% level. That’s why we also went to mesh base boards. If our hives are out in direct sun most of the day I screw a chuck of off cut wood under the tin to create an air layer

Great question. We are still expanding our hives, we have over 70 now. Sometimes you have no choice but to make a split. However some of my hives don’t need to be split every year. I make sure they always have room in the honey super and I rotate brood frames up into the super every harvest. A lot of times this stops the hive from thinking about swarming.

@@theurbanbee Thanks for the reply. I have also been rotating brood frames up, but in peak season here in Brisbane I struggle with swarm management. I had two swarms in a few days this year. I might look towards splits and selling NUCs. I am not too worried about the loss of bees of a swarm, but moreso being a good neighbour and beekeeper.

O problema da enxamiaçaò è a falta de espaço .tirem a grade aumentem o espaço . Deixem a rainha por ovos naò a limitem quantos mais ovos ...ela pozer mais mel teremos assim me diz a minha pratica

Thanks Richard! I’m glad you like our videos

You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

That’s a good idea. We are big on urban farming and regenerative agriculture.

That’s so much Michael. Appreciate your support. If you ever have any questions, post them up and I might be able to make a video about it.

There is a couple of things you need to keep an eye on. They may not been going to swarm but supersede. Also the new Queen may not survive the mating flight. Only time will tell but you have a nice hive just the same.
