Awesome stuff Graham. I must have missed this video but all good as I’ve seen it now. I’ve had some success doing the same here in Kippa-Ring latitude-27.226503 longitude 153.086343😂🤣😂thanks for sharing 👍🐝🍯

Well done Graham! Absolute champion

oh wow our dilemma is starting to make sense now. we had 2 hives, and the stronger hive got wiped out by phorid fly.

Thanks heaps for this video. Our #1 hive got wiped out by Phorid fly, and our #2 hive was strong but I noticed after relocating it onto an aluminium trestle a line a small ants coming up to it. Have put pavers down under each leg and extremely carefully dabbed some insecticide right at the bottom of each leg so that only anything that climbs the bottom inch touches it, and hoping thats enough to repel ant attack. Do you observe any other symptoms of the bees or the entrance or the smell if ants are mounting a big attack? Cheers =) David

How far do we need to keep swarm trap box from old setle hive

How to prevent it

Dear Graham, can U type here what solution I should to prepare to fight with these small bustards. What about water? Should be boiled? Thank U.

Can we use brood from the other colony?

goodjob sir nice video...more upload

Thank you for the informative video. Our native bees, tetragonula biroi, thrive well in a three-layered 8 X 10 X 4 box: th-cam.com/video/Kz7hmSTzEbs/w-d-xo.html

Climate change really affects the life of bees. However, our native bees, tetragonula bioroi, are resilient. They manage to survive and continue to pollinate fruit trees and vegetables in our area: th-cam.com/video/oIsRLLz9VpY/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the information. Our native bees, tetragonula biroi, has more elaborate entrnaces: th-cam.com/video/eqH2Rr7gOW0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the video. My knowledge in swarming increased. I did a video about swarming: th-cam.com/video/xxvl2SPjqR0/w-d-xo.html

This is probably the species of bee that I will be keeping in the Visayas region of the Philippines. There are several other bees species. There is a Tretragonula that builds an advancing front. I will have that one as well.

Hello Sir, can help and share your experiance about artificial pollen for sapiens and clypearis ?

Thanks for a great video Graham. How often does the liquid in the trap need replacing?

Love your work.

Makes me wonder if the entrance holes are too big? Just the military in me wants to make the hole smaller so its easier to defend. Im only new to this hobby. Ive just put 3 your traps (Bottles with Water / Honey / Vinegar an placed them strategically so the flies have to come past them before hitting the Hive. Can take the boy out of military, just cant take the military out of the boy I guess......

Looks great what size are the holes

what's that? vinegar and chloramines? just the beer trap is sufficient enough? or do you think you need both?

keren

Graham, thank you. I've noted these bastards on a bit of tape that fell off about 1 month after I harvested some honey! Noted a couple sort of walking in and out. I opened the hive at dusk and I got covered and bitten badly by a lot of my bees. Basically shoved it back on and taped it up. Do you think I need to do anything more? My hive is pretty strong.

Hi Graham, thanks for the great video! Do you have any advice on the best place to source timber? Bunnings just didn’t seem to have the right stuff... especially for the top and bottom pieces which obviously needs to be wider.... I’m in Cairns. Thanks

Great series mate. A boon to us new beekeepers.

Don't you think spraying a water on the hive could help? Evaporating water is usually cooling the watered object down..

You could use a vacuum cleaner..

Hi. Thanks for your information.

Thanks Graham, great video. I never saw a phorid fly until one of my hives was attacked by a swarm that lasted for days. A few days into the swarming, the phorid flies bombarded the hive, wasn't hard for them to get in as it was weakened. I set up a trap inside the hive also, which caught the lions share of the flies. Good tip with the tape, makes sense. So, I would suggest that anyone that has a hive being attacked by a swarm, keep an eye out for phorid flies.

Wow.It's​ very​ good.

Hello Sir, I am S. Mossang from Northeastern India. May I know How can I attract or trap stingless bee?? can you give me the best idea i am looking for?

Is this hive useful for trigona iridippennis?

Thanks

Awesome vid. What are the signs to look for in the bush? Chris

This is so Australian, I love it. Beer!

Very creative sir

Hi Graham.. just new to Stingless bees.. I love your videos mate. Very informative and entertaining. We are very lucky to have all this info available to us.. cheers

Can you please contact taniasmith68@icloud.com about the purchase of a bee hive - thank you!!

👍

The hive you show around 7:15 is that just made from treated pine sleepers? If so, do you coat the inside to keep the treatment away from the bees? Thanks Graham

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of stingless bee's Graham. I always enjoy watching and learning. Kinda sad your not doing anymore videos. I believe what your producing is great viewing plus a learning experience about our native bee's. I'm hopeful to see new content soon as I'm getting withdrawals 🐝👌

Hi Graham, I’ve been feeding a very new hive pollen and they go crazy over it, but I’ve seen foragers come back grab some pollen then fly away instead of taking it into the hive, what is going on there?

In your sapiens hive do you have trouble with ants in the closet?

Hi Graham, are you still making videos, I’ve watched several of your videos and you have a wealth of knowledge. I live in Kirwan and was wondering if I could catch up with you at som stage?

Hello sir, and now this hive is fine, isnt it ? and the queen really mating ? please update for me. Because i had a spliting 53 days ago, i dont open it but i see some males ( i dont sure ) be bite wing and kick out the hive, so maybe i have a mated queen ?

Thanks again Graham great video 👍👍🐝🐝

Very informative Graham thanks for the awesome information on flys and 🐝 🐝 🐝. Also thanks again for the information I asked about my native 🐝 joining the 2 hives together to boost the weaker one👍👍👍

Hi Graham, very informative as with all your videos. Love all of your videos. I have Tetragonula carbonaria in Redcliffe QLD. I rescued them from my mum’s place a few months back. Their home was an old decaying log. When I brought them to my place, we found there were still a lot of bees near the old log. I mustn’t have gotten all the brood or the queen. I then made another box/hive and managed to get all of the remaining bees and brood into it. Now we have a small hive at my mum’s and I I have 1 at my place. Just wondering if the smaller hive doesn’t do well can I bring it to my place and connect it to my stronger hive to boost it ? As I’ve seen you do this with hives you have done. Thanks Tricky Trev 18/01/2020

My two hockingsi hives won’t stop fighting is there anything I can do ?
