    I second what was said below. Need to ouch those frames together asap. You will have bur comb everywhere making it difficult to view your frames. The chances of crushing your queen go through the roof. That pollen patty needs to be right on top of the bees don’t leave it off to the side. I would also feed until they draw out the whole 10 frames. No reason not to. Good luck!

  • @rtxhoneybees
    @rtxhoneybees ปีที่แล้ว

    Welcome new-ish beekeeper! A couple tips for you. Take out an outside frame first so you can make room to remove frames without risk of rolling bees. And push those frames together. They are designed to the proper bee space for brood. The reason you got burr comb was the extra space caused by the queen cage. If you leave space the bees will propolise between and itll be hard to get frames out and to fit back in later on. Good luck! You are on your way! I subbed you so i can watch your journey.

    • @halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550
      @halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550 ปีที่แล้ว

      The miner has 2 methane detectors on it that will shut it down if levels rise just like underground. Then a large air compressor is used to push fresh air back across the cutter head via a large air line connected to the miner.

So you add ip the math, thats alot of coal. 2 spreads and 1 blasting crew can barely keep enough wall open for one of these, and that's letting the miner crew off weekends and us working Saturdays

    That was strange, but really neat. I have never seen such a machine. Does each section have its own flex track umbilical in it, that needs connected, each time you add a section, or is that on a huge wound up spool and the flex track just lays in each troth of each section?... Either way, this was cool to see.

      @@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550 Roger that.. that sounds more effective... I just couldn't imagine the design having male-female hydraulic and possibly electrical connections at every joint.. the auger's seemed pretty self explained with the female hex drive at the end, to transfer the rotation to the already laid out sections. Either way. This was neat. I appreciate your time, and also apologize for asking what is very likely common knowledge, but, I have never seen such a machine the size of a house, in fact, it looks like it is bigger then my house, lol. Last question, I kindly ask. When this machine is right up side of the wall, and this machine starts feeding the full length of these sections/auger conveyer systems far underneath, isn't there a worry of the wall falling over on top of the machine or is that to be expected and the machine can handle such pressure of a falling wall? As soon as I get done with my business trip and have a moment, I am so intrigued by this, I want to look into these further. Is there many BRAND NAMES of these or is these the only one, kinda like the steam shovels that work 24/7 and run for decades?
