![Who Made The Honeystead? [A Piece of my Heart]](/img/n.gif)
I chased a Swarm for 10 days. They would not go into a hive. I finally said "Go with God".
Yeehaaa.
Love the sight of all the girls fanning the hive scent. Success!
Just got home from catching g a swarm at the local hardware store. Tomorrow I'm off for an hours drive to remove a colony from a garage wall. Seems like bee season is in full swing for all!
Great to finally see the update from the " tease" shot you gave us a few weeks ago over the greenhouse. Better yet that was a fantastic save with the bucket and pole. Suggestion, get a telescoping pole and tape a bucket to it and put it with your " swarm" kit so your ready for quick of property calls. Have a great day 🐝🌤
The swarm I caught three weeks ago is doing awesome! One of my three packages went queenless and I gave them a frame of larva and nurse bees from the swarm one. I’m wondering if I didn’t do the right thing because they had one E-queen cell capped already.
Was nice that you had a tractor lift adapter to get that swarm 🍯🐝
You make fascinating videos, many thanks
thats what i got a bucket duct taped to a pruning extension pole
I got my first two bee colonies ever today!
Would love to hear how the long works for you. Was excited to hear you speak at the HOA conference in Tennessee last month and am gathering knowledge so I can get started with bees in the spring. I’m in my early 50’s already so not sure for how many years I would be able to lift the regular Langstroth boxes.
I love your videos. I don’t think I will ever get into bee keeping, but if I did, it would definitely bee because of you haha.
I want to visit a bee farm. Sorry if that’s not the correct term for it.
There is always time and need for more coffee. 😂 ☕️ ☕️
Super cool! Just love when a plan comes together. ✨✅✨Bees are Awesome and so are you.
That was enjoyable to watch
I've been inspired to get into beekeeping after establishing a pretty decent orchard/garden on our property; so I have been watching your videos and soaking up all the knowledge! Really interested in hearing your thoughts on the horizontal hive, because I'm torn as to whether langstroth or layens would be best for our circumstances.
Oh man , most of the time I can reach the swarms with my 18’ extension pole with a two gallon bucket taped to the end . That thing rides with me everywhere. Last moth I had to let one go since it was five feet too high and no I will not use a ladder since I am always doing things by myself which sucks . I can’t find anyone else crazy like me who would want to mess with stinging insects. LoL
You always have such good shots of the bees
Good🌹🐝🐝🐝🐝
OK. What's this "don't be afraid to get creative". What you meant to say is "Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and learn something old." I'll forgive you this time. LOL!!! Another great video..........
This is my first time watching you I'm just curious where you're located at
We are new to the bees we have one stand and I'm pretty sure we was able to stop the Swarm we added a super but I'm curious where you're located at I am in Kentucky I have had a couple people tell me the end of June no later than the middle of July for a swarm to make it through winter but I've had some say if u feed them they will be ok
I appreciate the tip using the bucket
I hope she respond to you - but in case not a little 2cents here... she is in Virginia. I live in high dessert Northern Nevada short warm season Cold winter not a lot of natural resources - and I’ve split a hive in August - I helped in October with Fat Bee food and supplemented with it through out the winter. I gave the new hive some drawn comb and a honey frame from the original hive and hoped for a good fall nectar flow. Oh a set the split literally 5 “ from the original. I had ordered a new bred queen before the split. In late fall through winter I gave them extra protection from wind made sure they had plenty of sun exposure. They came through Fabulous🤗 and strong👍🏼 So I’d say go for your split😃
I wish I could luck up on a swam, I know how it is not getting coffee first thing morning 🤣😂 be safe and bless
So amazing good
I love my long Langstroth bee hive. They have been in it from February 2021 after 12 months in a 10 frame. Winter here in Queensland Australia and they have propolised the centre entrance so they have an entrance to the size they want. 10 frame to heavy for me. Long Langstroth Hive my back and legs thank me. I don't disturb the hive as much either. Best wishes.
2021 sure seams to be the year for swarms! We moved 2 nucs into 10 frames and despite plenty of room, feed, pollen and a good laying queen, swarm! Virgin queen, two weeks later she is mated, laying, lots of brood, and now charged swarm cells! Almost feels like they are making up for lost time or something, but I sure hope these girls chill and get down to building out the colonies so they are strong for winter.
Oh my goodness I know... my phone has been blowing up!!!
heya yes creativity is a good thing to have on a homestead for sure if you like to do as much yourself being self sufficent
Kaylee, why do you always refer to the male bees (drones) as fat boys? They all have basically the same physique! Maybe they’re all muscular. After all, everyone of them are just dying to please a Queen.
Love watching your videos, pretty Awesome ...
Awesome I will be following the Long Lang updates. Thank you
you are a good idea
The beehive is very unique
It is very different from the Korean beehive.
We cut one wing of the queen a little bit: So she isn't able to leave the hive so far and we can catch the swarm on the botton.
“House warming party” or “how swarming party”
Nice, one of my bee hives swarmed a few days ago for the second time.
What do I do? The collapse of bees because of pesticides is a disaster, yes, a disaster
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Lovely to see your dad x
Thanks for fixing the title. 👍😊🦆
ive seen a few keepers put a couple frames of comb in their bucket and the bees just crawl right in.
Awesome ingenuity there catching the swarm, I've got to remember that one. I can't wait to see some follow up vids on the long langstroth hive.
💛 for sure!!!! I can’t wait to give you all an update!
As soon as I saw the word duct tape - I knew it would be a success
Nope, you forgot the chewing gum.
Don't be afraid get hands dirty
I catch a lot of swarms using a painters pole (extendable) gorilla taped to a 5 gallon bucket. Works great most of the time.
Do your hives ever get invaded by pests like yellow jackets?
Or bears?
This.has.been.a.goof.swarm.year.my.last.ones.were.pretty.big.when.setteld.its.like.they.were.there.allready.steve
I love MacGyverism!!! Love your new hive! Is that the deeper one with insulated sides? 😉😊😊😊
Nice swarm
Adventures in beekeeping, great stuff. Every beekeeper needs a lift bucket on their tractor, a pickup of course, and a walk in freezer. If you're out of equipment just say no to more swarms, especially this late in the season. A trick I use for swarms is to smoke the spot they were hanging on before you shook them off. it would not work this time of course.
Beehaviour :)
Bee-Havior
Omg , I got a bee veil just like your dad’s. I like it . It’s actually quite comfortable.
lol extra secure
You should cage her for a couple of days and put some brood in there so they don't leave. Especially if they came from your yard. Swarms like to go at least a mile away to help diversify their genes.
Duck duct tape!
I use a similar setup. I use one of the extendable paint poles, the longest one the box store had.....I think like 18ft long nice to be able to extend to the length I need
I want to try out the long lang also! :) great job as always! So cool that you and your dad are both beeks!
Join the horizontal hive movement with more natural deep frames.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Nice swarm and you had a great view from up there! I hope the girls take to the new hive!
Hi, I am mexican. My name is Gustavo I have seen your videos. Is very intetresting.
Sweet
😃
I'm curious if you're selling nukes
I have a few more left :)
good catch. how is the hive that had the temper problem, have they cycled thru and calm down
Why not go right from the bucket into the hive?
Too far of a walk and want to make sure we got the queen without her flying off
You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and love of bees!
💛💛💛
So bad ass!!! I love it 🥰
Nice catch good job
:) ty
Don’t beat yourself up Kaylee. I have had one hive swarm twice so far this spring. And I did two splits on that hive. Just seems to be a crazy storm season everywhere. I was unable to collect the swarms though.
Definitely preparing the farm for when I left town and came back took a little more time then what’s to be expected! Lol at least we got a good story out of it!
Nice catch. Thanks. Does the hive have a screen bottom?
More swarms? Wow. I had one or maybe two of my hives swarm on me. I didn't seem them go, but I saw evidence that they left. I remember when you teased this on FB (the pan shot at 2:55). I knew you were catching a swarm!
Lol yes!!! I’ve been behind on editing and uploading lol
@@TheHoneystead Yes, editing and uploading are the less fun parts of being a TH-camr. BTW - Great to see Dale in the video. :-D And again, don't be shy about reaching out if you all need help with anything.
Excelente trabajo felicitaciones
Do you ever use Shungite in and around your hives ?
Do u sell honey online?
Yes! I will be putting more on our Etsy shop soon :)
Did you put a queen excluder on the entrance for a week or so , in case they change their minds
No, I give them a little brood, pollen, and nectar:)
I have been learning so much about bees watching your channel and you are definitely a Bee Whisperer! at 5:46, why are the bees chaining like that? I find them more amazing every video I watch.
💛 this is called Festooning... it’s their way of measuring their space💛
@@TheHoneystead How fascinating bees are!
I have a question, not sure if you have talked about. At the end of this video there were 3 bees look like they were cleaning one or what were they doing?
Possibly grooming pollen off. I’ll watch again :)
Looks like they were helping her remove her hard working pollen pants 😊
Nice catch!!! Thanks!
Skills. 😎 🔥
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO COFFEE?? how do you function without it????
Hahaha.... For this morning... Bees... lots and lots of bees, but I do love coffee!
You are awesome,keep the videos coming
Awww shucks 🌽
love
that's "duct"
The brand is Duck 😜
Fixed it so it’s not confusing
@@TheHoneystead I wasn't confused, more concerned for mischievous ducks in your area. lol
1:29 BUG!
Ghost Bee ! I saw that too , lol.
Duct tape.
Lol I mentioned the brand...Duck Tape ;)
@@TheHoneystead Haha! I didn't know it's a brand name. That's hilarious! We don't have that here in Sweden.
Thanks for a great channel, btw! I miss having bees, and watching you and the bees fill some of my bee longing until I get the opportunity to have bees again. I like your positive and natural attitude towards your bees. :-)
😂😂 nice one 🐝🐝
Lol
