It does look like they had a lot of drones in the red hive. I'm just getting drones here in Alabama. We are not yet into spring. I'm not seeing any queen cells, but they do have a lot of room still.
Completely skipped spring, and summer didnt even start this year till last week in the blue mountains nsw.. the aussie native flowering gums in my yard usually flower all spring, theyve only just started to bud this week, still no flowers..
Queen walks off right edge of frame at 27:05 after the fat drone. Queen also at 32:50 on the middle right. Her wing catches the light. When you rest the frame on top of the box the queen might run off. Maybe try keeping it in the air somehow.
Watched the entire video, waiting for an inspection of the whayet hive. Heard you refer to it one time but no inspection. Maybe next time! I hope you get some honey this fall.
@@aussiebeekeeping so I have 8 frame boxes…….They seem too big for eight frames but too small for nine frames it’s crazy I don’t like the sizing on a frame boxes
I can hardly ever find my queens. I don't think so, I've seen mites on my bees and on larva, but that's just my opinion. It kind of looked like parts of the wing buds got dislodged?
Hi mate, seeing you get stung all the time I'd love to sort something out to send you a free bee suit. It's the least I can do seeing you get stung all the time and learning from your videos... Just shoot me a DM or pass me your email?
Hopefully your bees will sort themselves out. Great video as always, also sorry to see you get so many stings. Been there myself, I never seem to get use to it. Although sometimes I’m lucky and it doesn’t always hurt. Otherwise they’re looking 👀 really good 👍🐝🍯
Thanks. The suit I have was a gift and is the reason I get stings. I’ve always used a jacket and jeans and never had an issue. Just have to wear this suit out so I can go back to my original gear. :)
Nah. My hives were all good apart from one naughty hive. Then a couple of months ago I used that hive to rescue nine of my hives that were failing. Now I’m laying the price as my genetics have gone out the window. If you send queens I would be interested. I have 10 new queens in order but the breeder is a little wishy washy.
@@aussiebeekeeping love to send you a couple. Is there a more direct way I can contact you ? Or can you Facebook message me. I breed quiet bees for back yard situation s and am in southwest vic 😀
You will never be free of varroa if you continue to use traditional thin walled hives as you are doing. For that you need a highly insulated external envelope with top of brood entry that makes the brood chamber a more humid bucket. If a pupa is kept above 37c. or below 29c. the pupa die. At 35c. pupation time is 10-11 days with 96%-98% surviving. At 31c. pupation time is 14-15 days with 89-100% surviving. A hive that sustains high humidity reduces the varroa numbers and a higher temperature will reduce the pupa hatching time which reduces the time available for the varroa mites to mature in the cells.
Lol. We don’t have Varroa here in Australia. And bees have been surviving in “thin walled” hive for a very long time. Which is a lot better for the bees and the earth as they are natural. To many bee keepers think like you about polystyrene hive like Vino farm and his crazy beehives.
@@aussiebeekeeping…that is a brave statement there , lucky because NSW copped the verroa infestation , beekeepers have had a really hard time and lost colonies .
do you know 'bout thermo treatment for varroa mites? U need just increase temperature in the hive for certain time and the mites can not reproduce (similar method are using eastern bees localy to kill invading hornets)

Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👏
No problem 👍
I'm enjoying your videos, thank you
This makes me smile.
Thanks!
That’s 10 cents per sting!!!! Lol
Haha
Thanks mate. Appreciate the support.
Cheesel'fingers so funny I won't be able to see incoming Pollen the same again lol.
Love the talk through frame by frame👍👍
Thanks Bones. Haha

Nothing like the anticipation of Spring. Hope it’s a good one.
I seem to have a stack of pollen in my hives in Melbourne's North too. It's been a weird summer for weather so far.
It’s been very odd

Plants are totally in shock.

Well done. Thanks for the easy find. :)

Lol.
Yeah I filmed this video the same day I last checked the white hive.
Me too
So they are stinging through your suit!!! Also 9 frames?? Are you squeezing those into an 8 frame hive?
Haha. Yep. Those boxes are crap
@@aussiebeekeeping so I have 8 frame boxes…….They seem too big for eight frames but too small for nine frames it’s crazy I don’t like the sizing on a frame boxes
29:00 Think it's the Queen on the right half center...standing alone, this video is really blurry though
That’s a drone. Male bees are larger.
All I can do is upload in 4K. Not sure why the video is blurry
I can hardly ever find my queens. I don't think so, I've seen mites on my bees and on larva, but that's just my opinion. It kind of looked like parts of the wing buds got dislodged?
It ca be difficult as you’ve seen in the white hive.
Yeah I think it’s mildew on the carcass
hope they can recover
Thanks
7:09 Why is that frame black...and why are half the cells black too?
It’s old comb
How are the stings getting through?
Flow hive make a very ordinary suit

Oh really! That’s a wonderful offer.
You can send me an email if you like. Ausbeekeep@gmail.com
Imported some Black Mountain bees have you ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha. It feels that way sometimes.

where are you located?
Southern Vic. I’m The Otways.
20 stings, u need a new suit
Flow hive suit. It’s made of the thinnest material known to man. It was a Christmas gift so I have to wear it. 🤣
@@aussiebeekeeping I think you should make the person who gave it to you as a gift wear it😁😮😜
Do you prefer this type of bees they act like the feral type bee they are so panicky I keep thinking I should send you a few of my queens 😀
Nah. My hives were all good apart from one naughty hive. Then a couple of months ago I used that hive to rescue nine of my hives that were failing. Now I’m laying the price as my genetics have gone out the window.

@wingnut6472 The lol was directed at the original posters blah blah regarding timber hives.
This lol is directed at you.

Those bees are very runny
