No I didn’t and no I don’t handle them too rough they got pressed on a bit but weezle there way out unless I pushed down on the lids then it would have smashed them up a bit.
@@scottyduncan-eb3nx Sorry if I seem too critical. I am in my 3 year going into sideliner Beekeeping and expanding. Watching Commercial Beekeepers they all seem a bit brutal on handling bees. I understand that it is a lot of bees and hives to have to deal with and some bee losses are just a part of beekeeping. Perhaps as I expand people will be telling me the same thing about how I handle the bees. I hope the CA fires don't get into your areas. I am curious on how much you sell a 4 hive pallet for. I am assuming 2k per pallet
@ not a problem David I understand. I lost about 60 hives from fires out here last spring, thankfully none yet this year. Good luck on your beekeeping journey hope my videos help you out a bit.
@@scottyduncan-eb3nx Yes, your videos do help learning how to deal with a larger amount of hives. I purchased a truck load of used equipment, enough for 30 double brood chamber hives. They have migratory covers and I wasn't liking the lack of bee space with this type of cover. I noticed your covers have and extra strip of border wood on underside of cover, allowing for more bee space and resolves this issue. So I'll be adding this modification to the covers. I'll be making splits mid March and doing the double screen board 10 frame box splits to get strong population splits for honey production and prevent swarming. My hives come out of winter super strong and hit peak populations of 60,000 rapidly in April, here in Kentucky. I am going to do 2 hive pallet style sets. Hoping to get into pollination opportunities that also have good honey production.
Those are some great looking splits
Thanks
Thanks for sharing great video.
Good to see you back at it again. Bees look great!
Thanks
Love your videos, where you been??
I’ve been working , doing the family thing and golfing lol
you are are squishing the bees, you handle hives pretty roughly

@ I like the two hive per pallet.
