Both parts of this video were very interesting. I've always enjoyed driving down the country side seeing families who have bee hives in their back yard. It will be nice to see future videos of the progress in action of the bees doing their thing! Thanks for sharing.
Cody, through your videos and your encouragement. I've taken a project up on my own. I have been making my wife a loom so she can weave on. It's very satisfying seeing the pieces take shape as well as the fact we're not spending $700 on a loom.
I like the way you took the time to make all the screw heads line up the same way. I do that too, especially when putting in electrical switch and outlet plates. Looks good and shows you care.
Was looking forward to when I would have some spare time to sit down and watch this video. You didn't disappoint as always .God bless Mr Wranglerstar and thanks again!
I was having a hard time figuring out how to get the window and hole the right sizes. Building the frame first and then drawing the cutout was just what I needed to see. Thanks for the inspiration.
You will need in your colder climate to make a box or board with blocks to hold over the window for the winter months. Single pane glass will transmit the cold inside much quicker than the wood. You also will need to wax the tops of the brass screws or they will tarnish the wood from their oxidization, as most brass screws are not pure brass but a alloyed brass that rusts in the outdoors. Beautiful work, and look forward to your next video.
I think you'll really enjoy beekeeping, Cody. My favorite part, I think besides the honey itself, is watching the bees regulate the temperature of the hive. In a city made of wax so to speak, heat is a real pain. They'll line up at the entry's and just fan their wings. Also, if you go slow and bee (heh) gentle, you can teach Jack how to pet honey bees so long as he doesn't have any allergies. I'll see about making my first video showing my 4yr old how if you would like to see.
For a nice straight break on the glass, after you have scored it, put your square under the glass, directly under where you scored. Then give a firm tap ball end of the glass cutter on the score. the break will follow your square. I've also used a sheet of construction paper in place of the square and it works for "leading" the break as well.
You can sand the cut edges of glass to clean them up a bit. I recommend a sanding block...I've got the scar to show what happens when you try to sand cut glass without the sand paper.
Nice job. Just keep the window blacked out till the hive is established, once the bees learn the exits should be no problem. You'll have to insulate for cold weather though. One of my middle school teachers set up a glass hive in the classroom (yup the windows actually opened). Best of luck this world needs more keepers
Hey Wranglerstar, My Dad used to keep his glass cutters in a mason jar with kersosene in it. it kept them clean and lubricated. Just thought I would pass that on. Thanks for the videos and Merry Christmas.
Just a suggestion, when you cut glass you should tap it (lightly) a little with the ball on the line where you cut with the end of the cutter (the little ball) before you snap it. That will help the cut to run better and give you a little cleaner edge. Sometimes the cut will run all on its own and you don't even have to snap it.
I cut glass all the time and saw your straight edge shift as you were scribing it. That's why your cut was off. I use a straight edge with cork glued to the underside so that it grabs the glass a little better. Most windows I see in these hives are rabbeted into the inside and sealed in with silicone. Many put a door over the glass to block out sunlight.
Thank you I love your videos. Two thumbs up for lowering the mic volume when using power tools. A lot of videos will about deafen you when they fire up a power tool. Jon
Cody, you'll forgive me for pointing this out, but... the primary purpose for the observation window in a Top Bar Hive... is not to watch the bees. The purpose of the window is to check and see if the bees have begun drawing comb on the last top bar. When they do, you must immediately harvest at least one bar of honey stores. If you don't, the bees will begin building comb on the 'end board' of the hive... which would be a problem, as it would be troublesome to harvest.
Cody -- your work is lovely and your videos are beautiful and compelling. How do you stay organized enough to get all your chores and projects done while shooting and producing them so consistently? Perhaps you could refer me to the answer if you've explained this already in another video or series on how you get things done(?) Thanks!
It makes me so happy to see this! I hope to build one soon. Been wanting to for a few years but Jesus had other plans. Hopefully by 2014. Buzz buzz buzz.
Just wondering: did you also make a cover for the glass window? I was under the impression bees prefer dark environments, so I would think a cover that would fit in the frame over the glass would help with that.
I assume you are going to hang a nice thick black curtain over the window for viewing. Kind of like what Silver-oxide cameras use. I assume this because Bees see light they think there is a hole there and they will be worrying with it all the time if they hive at all. Same reason Moths are attracted to "light". The HECK they are. They think That's the way out! Works that way with hummingbirds too. Saved one just three weeks ago.
ref 3:40 Sorry to be a nag but...DONT EVER SHOOT TO YOUR HAND!!!! Those things will nail you just as quick as the wood Sorry not being a jerk but you made me cring.
I noticed you left your fingers on the frame where you used the nail gun. Do you think a nail could glance off some denser wood particles and land in your finger?
How many lbs. of honey do you think this hive could hold? I've considered making these too, but have heard that a hive can go through 100 lbs. of honey to get them through a winter.
Are you going to make shutters for the window? Or is there no chance for the bees to try to exit through the window because of the light? like a bee in your home?
believe it or not i have warre hives with a window on my bottom super using door screen just to keep my eyes on my bees in case i have to add another super my bees are all AHB Africanized and they build comb very fast , they do everything way faster then the EHB , another reason i use screen window is if it get too hot i could open the window just a bit for Ventilation i live where where the planting zone is 12A! hot and Humid in the summer we have no winter where lowest it get is in the 60s
Be careful using lexan or glass in the top (sun facing) side of a hive, you will easily over heat the bees in the summer and remove all of their insulation in the roof in the winter. If you decide to do this it should be done in the side of the hive not the top. Or you should make a wood insert so that the glass is covered at all times except when you want to view the hive.
(1) I would think you'd want the glass flush with the interior wall surface; bees might fill up that cavity where the wall was cut out. (2) I respect the decision(s) you've made re: clickbait titles and such, and especially your respect in personally communicating with everyone about it.
On the front end; I didn't listen to the whole video as I'm not interested in a viewing window....... Would the Bees just cover over the glass if it isn't covered between viewing? Thats my understanding.
MIGHT HELP TO PUT SOME SILICONE OR PL OR SOMETHING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME BEFORE INSTALL SO THAT WATER DOES NOT LEAK ON THE INSIDE OF THE SIGHT GLASS AND MAKE IT DIRTY. KEEPS YOUR VIEWING THROUGH CLEAN GLASS
If anyone wants to learn more about bee keeping do a You Tube search for David Burns he has a website where you can buy the bees and Queens. I know Nothing about bees other than they liked to sting me where I was young... of course I always ran around outside barefoot so most of the fault was mine... Great video thanks for sharing
Ok,I will throw out an Idea for the real fanatical bee keeper.Same idea but a larger version built into the living room window.Pull back the curtain and be amazed.Maybe not for the beginner carpenter or the weak of heart.
Yea that too,lol The view window is a neat thing for kids,etc ,to see.But reality is you have to go inside the hive early spring to asses what is going on with your hives,,Main things you are looking for is how well the queen is doing..Check brood frames..Check to see how well they are cleaning out dead bees that died over the winter..If its bad ,remove those frames ,,and replace with clean ones,A lot of dead bees still in the box as the weather warms is bad ,the bacteria build up leads to foul brood and mildew..If the hive pops out real strong in the spring..You can tell a lot just by looking at what they are doing,,If you see a lot of dead bees on the ground,don't freak out ,that shows they are cleaning the hive,,If you see a lot of bees carrying pollen into the hive,thats a good sign..They use the pollen to make the baby food..Wich is a good sign,meaning they have a laying queen,,and all so the means to quickly raise a new queen if the old one dies..If you see any entrances or exits that look really messy .not wax but kind of a sticky nasty black syrupy stuff,You need to get in there fast ..Means they are trying to clean up a mess but they are over whelmed ..Inspection is needed to check water build up etc etc..You will prolly find an area in the box that is a soggy messy area ,remove it ,,..I dont have that problem much anymore because I have learned to know what to look fore and can fix it before it gets bad..
Also I would like to add a comment,about bee keeping. It is one of the most decent hobbies a man can have .and if you are a nature minded person you can learn so much that it bogles the mind..I sit and watch my bees alot ..They don't bother me because they know me..Don.t ask me how because I don't know..Try to identify all the different jobs being performed ..Im up to like 15 so far..And that is amazing ..The more you learn ,the more you have to wonder about..The average person that walks by a hive will never see .Some say you can see the hand of God in nature..And I think that must be so.Spring is only a few days off now and I can't wait to get out there and check on my girls..With our hosts permission I would like to write a couple different articles on how I split my bees ..There are some easy ways and some hard ways..and wich ever style box you choose ,you have to make additional boxes now..The bees will split .Ether you do it or they will when they swarm..A well timed split can many times prevent a swarm...So get you new housing out there and set up close by so they can get used to it..If you are lucky they will adopt it with out you doing a thing..There are things you can buy that help attract bees..The scouts will find it and mark it as a possible nesting site.I am all ways trying new things..So when I set up my new housing I just drop a spoon full of honey in there..Bees will go in and rob it out pretty fast..But they leave a bee scent in there ..So far I have trapped several swarms this way...One was a swarm not from my hives ,I think it came from the woods or something..They are a different color even,but have turned out to be one of my most productive hives..Some people like to try and change the make up of there bees by introducing queens from a different strain..As long as they are doing good .I would not mess with them..Let the nature way do its thing,the survival of the fittest and they evolve into a good strong hive that has learned to over come everything ..Be it cold winter ,parrasites, sicknesses or what ever nature throw at them.Remember they have survived thousands of years with out our help.If you mess around in there buisiness to much,,They may just leave and go elsewhere..For those wondering ,I use the langstrom type boxes because My set up is that way,,I may do another bar top this year because the are so much fun and easy to do certain things ,Like queen propagating .An advanced topic not for the beginner..Just for info From one box ,I extract 2 and a half gallons of honey..Some times if it is a good year I take 2 boxes....What makes a good year??? Another topic..Low cost things you can plant that really helps the bees,Another topic..I think I could write a book on what I learned the first couple of years..and you will too..It is a real adventure .I would like to thank our host for giving us a place to share our thoughts on bee keeping and many other things of nature that all work hand in hand..Laters my friends.

All of your comments are read. I simply can't respond to every one.

You are quite a craftsman. I love the opening shot of your video. What a beautiful place to wake up to see. Thanks for sharing
I like the way you took the time to make all the screw heads line up the same way. I do that too, especially when putting in electrical switch and outlet plates. Looks good and shows you care.
I built my hive following your videos, I don't have bees yet but I have a hive thanks to watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Was looking forward to when I would have some spare time to sit down and watch this video. You didn't disappoint as always .God bless Mr Wranglerstar and thanks again!
I think I'll stack straw bails around the give for winter.

Yes I'm working out the design in my head now.

I'm building a cover for the glass.
I never thought about that. Thanks for the tip...
The time is now. If you go to my facebook page you can watch my sister capture a swarm....
For a nice straight break on the glass, after you have scored it, put your square under the glass, directly under where you scored. Then give a firm tap ball end of the glass cutter on the score. the break will follow your square. I've also used a sheet of construction paper in place of the square and it works for "leading" the break as well.
Be sure to send me a picture of your completed hive. I'll post it on my FB page...
There was a place I went to in Durango Colorado to but honey, and they had a window in one of their hives. You made the right choice!
I don't like plexi glass. It scratches to easy and it fades in the sun.
I wish I would have thought of that...
You can sand the cut edges of glass to clean them up a bit. I recommend a sanding block...I've got the scar to show what happens when you try to sand cut glass without the sand paper.
Nice job. Just keep the window blacked out till the hive is established, once the bees learn the exits should be no problem. You'll have to insulate for cold weather though.

I want to keep bees too now. The song is by White Lion, and the name of the song is "When the Children Cry".
It's the proper way...
Tremendous videos and I enjoy your philosophizing.
Thank you I love your videos. Two thumbs up for lowering the mic volume when using power tools. A lot of videos will about deafen you when they fire up a power tool.

Next time you cut class try heating the joint with a propane torch and it might break cleaner. And if it's a cold day the warm glass is nice too.

That hive is going to be the BUZZ of the neighborhood.

Perhaps you could refer me to the answer if you've explained this already in another video or series on how you get things done(?) Thanks!
Will it be hard to cut the comb from the window sill, for lack of a better word, when harvesting. Thank you for your videos and the insperation.
It makes me so happy to see this! I hope to build one soon. Been wanting to for a few years but Jesus had other plans. Hopefully by 2014. Buzz buzz buzz.
Also the glass will be way easier to clean if it gets sticky or something.
Nice work WS, love the Swedish flag wind direction thingy ;)
wondering if the glass will create any extra heat in the hive, and if so, is there an issue?
will you have to cover the glass with Black paper till the hive is established?
Just wondering: did you also make a cover for the glass window? I was under the impression bees prefer dark environments, so I would think a cover that would fit in the frame over the glass would help with that.
+John Foster i don't know...they spend much of their time outside. We close the door so it's dark when we aren't looking inside. There is a cover.
I saw in another of your videos that you had made a door for the window. I guess i jumped the gun too early.
so when would you expect the bees to swarm in your area?
Trim will cover it; can't see it from my house.
Referring to the glass. ;)
Would plexi glass or lexan work?
I assume you are going to hang a nice thick black curtain over the window for viewing. Kind of like what Silver-oxide cameras use.

ref 3:40 Sorry to be a nag but...DONT EVER SHOOT TO YOUR HAND!!!!
Those things will nail you just as quick as the wood
Sorry not being a jerk but you made me cring.
might consider cutting out a spare glass pane now to have on hand? just in case.
you will prolly need another soon.. top bars normally work out well u can prolly setup 3 easy they swarm
Did the comb fill in the recess where the window is? The other vids that I've seen have the glass flush with the inside of the hive..---> ???
a pin nailer is the bee's knees
Both of you are unBEElievably ridiculous...
David Johnston these puns are BEEyond BEElief..
I noticed you left your fingers on the frame where you used the nail gun. Do you think a nail could glance off some denser wood particles and land in your finger?

i like that version of "when the children cry". cool
i like the idea of glass, but won't it be damaged more easily? i would use plexi but meh, gret video!
It would be so sweet to make one of these.
I wonder if a window won't make it difficult for the bees to regulate the hive tempature!
Nice vid
believe it or not i have warre hives with a window on my bottom super using door screen just to keep my eyes on my bees in case i have to add another super my bees are all AHB Africanized and they build comb very fast , they do everything way faster then the EHB , another reason i use screen window is if it get too hot i could open the window just a bit for Ventilation i live where where the planting zone is 12A! hot and Humid in the summer we have no winter where lowest it get is in the 60s

the bees will seal up any gaps with propolis so not to big an issue
(1) I would think you'd want the glass flush with the interior wall surface; bees might fill up that cavity where the wall was cut out. (2) I respect the decision(s) you've made re: clickbait titles and such, and especially your respect in personally communicating with everyone about it.
I opted for a lexane panel rather than glass just to keep it from breaking
can any glass be cut this way?
Really nice ! keep going !
I do not understand why in the hive window?
LOOKING GOOD...
I'd put plexiglass for safety, it won't break as easily as glass.
Good call. I knew I recognised the music but couldn't place it.
Did you make your own screw drivers?
Screwdrivers? Heck, he made that pin nailer - just from what he had lying around the shop already - LOL
You will need a cover for that window when you are not looking through it. Bees want the inside of their hive to be dark.
LOL, no I did not.
fantastic. you make me want to keep bees :>
also, whats that music? its great
Exactly!
nice job!
nice work
On the front end; I didn't listen to the whole video as I'm not interested in a viewing window....... Would the Bees just cover over the glass if it isn't covered between viewing? Thats my understanding.
Are there any tools you don't have? :)
very good video
oh ok, good to know.
From my experience old glass doesn't cut cleanly like new glass does.
If you need cheap glass for small projects like this, look for picture frames or paintings/pictures at garage sales. The uglier the better.
not for long, the bees will eventually will build out till only bee space is left
A bandsaw! But he learned he didnt need it!
MIGHT HELP TO PUT SOME SILICONE OR PL OR SOMETHING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME BEFORE INSTALL SO THAT WATER DOES NOT LEAK ON THE INSIDE OF THE SIGHT GLASS AND MAKE IT DIRTY. KEEPS YOUR VIEWING THROUGH CLEAN GLASS

Is this a project a novice could do?
Probably.
I have never had success using those glass cutters.

Nice job. Just keep the window blacked out till the hive is established, once the bees learn the exits should be no problem. You'll have to insulate for cold weather though.
One of my middle school teachers set up a glass hive in the classroom (yup the windows actually opened).
Best of luck this world needs more keepers
