Mine have been bearding like crazy due to the heat.

Now get it into a hive and produce the miracle medicine

!!

Wouldn't it be good to widen the entrance?

Aren’t some of the workers positioned at the entrance where they beat their wings to induce air flow through the hive?

Name it Buzz Kill

Or no meat jimmy

Tulip

What should we name her?

Do beekeepers name their queen bees?

Ha, my bees beard like crazy right now during mid day

Providing some shade would help, too.

Who sells local nucs? I'm in Lisbon. Bought some hives this year. Most years swarms break from boxes up the road and live in a metal camper on my property. I assumed they would fly back home when, in reality, they probably died over the winter (I did a bit of research). If none make use of the hives, I'd love to know where I can buy local nucs. Any info is appreciated. The NNY Bee Keeper Directory is outdated (Mr. Martin's e-mail bounced back)

Does he still sell nucs?

Hi from Texas. Very nice, ill be looking for the construction plans to make my own.

How is beekeeping going? You don't post videos anymore?

Shut up and get off youtube until you ,now what you are talking about

Simple / great method. I've read you want to NOT SHAKE frames to see Q cells but rather gently sweep nurse bees away.

That is some clean bee keeper protective gear.

You squashing alot of bees too that's why they are not so happy..

👍👍

Great work. I fixed aload of cross combing in my hive yesterday it was a disaster. I felt so guilty I fed them.

Very informative NNY Bees. Much appreciated

Good method, however, no point of making another box to accommodate the frame. Just cut the wax foundation and allow the bees to make queen's cells from such small fragment.

Wow, mantap madu nya

I am a beekeeper from the Netherlands. Cool video. I would like to build my own top bar hive one day, but i am still gathering information on sizes etc. Maybe a small tip: i stopped using the smoker with my bees. All i do now is spray some sugarwater on them with a plant sprayer. suger / water 1:1. They get calm as well as with the smoker.

Hello my beekeeper friend, I have a question for you. Great video by the way. My first hives made it through their first spring/summer with zero SHBs, zero wax moths, and believe it or not, zero varroa!!!!! Yet, it's our fall flow and I know this is the time their rear their heads if there are any. My question: If I do find some varroa and end up having a count that should be treated, what would you recommend if anything. It's a thriving hive. I'm a natural beekeeper like you, and my practices so far is to make sure they have the vitamins and probiotics to stay super strong. Plus its a super hygienic hive. Any info would be helpful. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate you caring enough to allow the bees to make their own drawn comb. I believe it is the building block to healthy bees. Tip for all of us, and I know from experience. If you make sure the hive is perfectly level, and add a true 2 or 2.5" starter strip to the frame, they most always build straight and build faster. Also, if you use wax or plastic I believe it is better than wood starter strips. All the best.

Good

We need more to learn how much is the best of luck in finding out about the possibility of working in the future

سلام عليكم 👍👍👍👍👍🐝🌹🔔

سلام جميل👍👍👍👍

Video thansk you

Nice work, keep it up.

So nice to see beekeepers allowing the bees to draw their own comb. I believe it is the starting point for raising disease free bees. Hey, any ideas on what to feed bee other than sugar?

Fantastic! Great idea! Thank you this video and tips.

what hour in a day you inspect your hives, please? early in the morning? late in the afternoon? when is better disturb the bees minimizing their stress? thanks! (Italy)

Thanks, been looking for a procedure to do this

Great little video NNY Bees. My only critic would be on the second little nuc making queens. You don't have to damage cells to get queens made. Once a colony is queen-less, they will draw out the appropriate cells/eggs/larva all on their own. Sometimes we humans complicate the message, but simply put a queen less colony will make new queens as long as they have the fresh eggs to work with.

Thank you, very informative

Thanks, that was helpful. I am beginning bee keeping and I'm going to start with a top bar hive and I appreciate the tips you gave, they were very clear and concise.

Hi Larry thank you for sharing a wonderful video on top bar hives, do your bees overwinter well in top bar hives in NY? What are your survival rates?

Learn before you try to teach!

Wanted to see how your TBH are doing? I am getting 2 of them this spring

I ENJOY BEES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA th-cam.com/video/1DvQ2Sch-gE/w-d-xo.html

Hello Larry I used to keep bees the old way. I've had one top bar hive, and will start again this spring. I like top bar hives better. Your video was helpful.

Pretty slick!

Thank you Ken Thompson !!! Great idea! I will do all my frames that way !

Did you try this in 2018 or 2019, what were your results, thanks.
