In this short video Margaret Shows your how to move an existing colony into a Long Bench Hive. The Long Bench hive is our new LifeStyler hive that can be found here:- kiwilifestyler.co.nz
Congrats Gary and Margaret. I have been using my Long Lang for a while now and love them. I'd like to see your entrance reducer / robing screen. Is it a combined affair?
Hey Patrick, how is life up on he Island. Yes it has a bracket to allow to add Robbing Screen etc. Its the one in one Hive system. Yes we are happy with it, much easier on the back..Gary
What your calling the hive mat, is that just a top cover? Love the podcast came on here looking for a long hive like this after the person wrote in with a husband that is allergic to them. I too am and I am the only beek in the family. I actually use the same suit you have in this video and I keep my epipen in same front pocket all the time so just incase, my family will know where to look if I can't get it. Keep up the great work!
Wing it Workshop thanks for the feedback on the show, wow you are brave to keep beekeeping. But to be fair the mesh suits are almost sting proof. Yes we like the long kiwi Lifestyler hives, yes the hive mats are inner covers of top cover...thanks for the comment...Gary
2 wheel dolly , dual wheels help a bunch. I stand them up long ways on the dolly, to move them. Then set em, go back for the roof and frames ect
Yes indeed, we do the same with the langs. We always strap them together, just in case. Thanks for the feedback...Gary
Nice Video!
Thanks Guys, yes we are trying to get more out. Roll on Summer down here :)
