Stop Swarming And Make A TON Of Honey

- The Damaree Method. This method creates a huge population of bees in the hive without overcrowding or overfilling the brood nest and triggering a swarm. With this huge population of bees comes a huge crop of honey. This method can be done without taking splits from the hive but it also requires more time and labor

Subbed. Did a Demarree a bit ago, they have already filled a deep and two mediums and it is only mid May in Massachusetts! It really is all about having A LOT of bees. Good stuff, thanks.
I've heard about the Damaree method for a while now, but was too lazy to read about it on my own and every video I watched seemed to over complicate it, but you did a great job explaining it to where even a dummy like me could understand it.
Nice job! Thanks for sharing.
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching
I'm planing on that setup, thanks from Texas.
I’m in Australia and I use the demaree method , it works well , I used it to make a split colony on top with a double screens board , that’s another way the demaree method works as well as keeping a big colony for honey production. Spring is September here my colony had swarm cells halfway through August which is why I used this method , my brood chamber is 2 supers strong by spring time , I leave a full box of honey on them into winter so I dont feed them and they are very strong come spring time , depends on the seasons if all goes well from one year to the next.
I do a lot of that myself. Double screen boards are probably the best tool in beekeeping
Your nervesnous come out in the video but its the first timemi have heard it explained where it made sense
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Great job on the video! Keep em coming.
Thank you for watching
That was very helpful, thanks so much😊
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching
Great video…I already do this but you gave me another tip. Thank you, Amanda
Glad I could help Amanda. Thank you for watching
This helps alot. Im trying it for the first time this season. Thanks for the explanation.
Thank you for watching
Its totaly the way to make honey
One huge hive will make over 200 lbs of honey 🍯 here in Sask .
There is a problem with a 200 lb average .
It almost always causes bulk honey prices to drop.
Just like it did in 2023 !
That is a lot of honey
Any chance you'd let someone getting into bee keeping tour your yard and ask questions?
If you mean tag along and help out someone. Absolutely. Do it all the time
@@ChiltonBeeCompany how would someone such as myself reach out to you to do so? The Facebook link isn't currently working on TH-cam.
You can find contact info at chiltonbee.com
You definitely know what you are talking about good job on a very detailed video. Question for you have you ever tried to let one queen cell become a mated queen in the top box. Esencially setting up a two queen hive. Obviously you want an upper entrance. But am wondering if the bees would swarm or would more likely see it as a superceadure
They would view it as neither one. They believe they are just a queenless hive and are doing all they can do to aquire a queen. When they do they will build in what area they are in. You could allow the top to become queenright. Lots of beekeepers operate this way.
@@ChiltonBeeCompany sweet thanks for getting back to me on that. First time trying this as I have to change some colonies over from being in suppers to brood chambers. I am certified organic and foundation is expensive. So I put one deap frame into the middle of the brood in two suppers stacked on top of each other. They are drawing out this frame nicely and the queen is laying eggs into it. Am about to move that frame up into the top box the new brood chamber with lots of nurse bees and add another empty deap frame below. Was wondering though if I add more frames with eggs to a newly hatched virgin every week would she go out and mate and start laying. I remember vaguely reading somewhere that it could suppress her wish to mate. Or I just am remembering wrong. I surpose they will continue to make more emergency cells as long as they have a fresh batch of larve to choose from. Maybe she might sting them. What are your thoughts on this. Maybe I just wait till she starts laying before adding more brood but they sure are drawing out that single frame out fast.
You can add all you want. It won't stop her from mating
great video thank you for explain, Could you tell me can I join them together before winter?
Sure can. You can combine it all back together however you want, once the flow is over
@@ChiltonBeeCompany thank you 😊 I will try on this season:)
Constructive criticism! Drawn comb and drone come in your accent, is hard to tell the difference. But otherwise your video is very good. Thanks from Ireland.
You are right. I hear it all the time from my help. I had to start calling "Drone" comb, green comb. I will try to make it clearer in the future. Thank you for your input and thank you for watching
👍
Thanks for watching
Is there a queen excluder under the top brood box also ??. I run a deep an a medium brood setup . Thanks
I'm not completely sure which box you are talking about. The only place you will have an excluder is above the uppermost brood chamber on the bottom of the hive setup.
If your talking about the brood box above the honey supers, there is no need for one up there. There is no queen up there to get into your supers
Were are you located?
I'm in Chilton and Autauga Counties. Central Alabama
Bad bees
I guess so
