“This is how you do it, if it works out “😂😂😂😂
This is my favourite video
Agreed!
haha thanks Ian hope yall are doing good over there!!
Yup going to be a classic
Props to you for reaching in to get that queen
lol it was my mistake so my responsibility i guess haha
Best video of yours to date!! A magnet works great to pull the can out. Best way to learn is to watch someone who knows what they’re doing mess everything up. Loved it.
haha thanks glad you think so!! that's smart will have to try that next time, except at this rate there wont be a next time..
Thumbs 👍 up on attempting a new method for your journey in Beekeeping with Natilee adventure!
When I used to get packages I would remove I believe half the frames from the hive. Put the queen caged on one of the frames and put the whole package in where the frames use to be. Then come back the next day remove the empty package and put frames back in.
We don't do packages in the UK but definitely the way I would go, so your not tipping dead bees into the new hive
Your laughter is Golden. You learn more from screwing up than being right. So you learned a lot. LOL Thanks Nat.
haha. well thanks i screw up all the time and that's life.
@@BeekeepingWithNatalee You should have seen all my screw ups yesterday. LOL
You should put your queen cage horizontal instead of vertical so if any thing blocks the hole she can still get out. A spray bottle with sugar water to spray the bees will help with the temperment to keep them busy. I haven't done any packages for 6 years when I first started.
ok
Your voice is so soothing and you have great confidence with the bees. Amazing.
I ❤ your channel :)
Great video Natalee! I have found that nothing ever goes to plan when I do anything with my bees! They would disagree for sure - as they are so organized themselves! LOL! Love learning from you!
haha thanks i feel the exact same way
To quote Mike Barry: "this is not a how to video. This is a how I do video". Great video! 😂
exactly
(Turn the PKG upsidedown and "bump" the can out to start then finish pulling it out)
Yep best video yet! I like the “bee real”. And my favorite thing to say in the bee yard is “I don’t know what to do” hahah always shooting from the hip! Great video keep it up!
hahha! well I'm glad someone understand lol
Now I'm reliving my recent package installation,,,,,, 14 years as a beekeeper and I screwed it up like you can't believe. I hate packages!
Love your 'give it a try' attitude. You did Great!
glad someone appreciates it haha thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Very amusing. Like previously stated turn the package over then the can will fall out
Can I suggest placing the queen cage parallel to the frames with the screen facing down. That way the bees can feed her and if a bee dies in the cage, won't block the escape hole.
If you like to fish for bluegills with crickets, the empty package makes a great cricket cage. You just need to attach a lid of some sort. Give food and water and you can store them for a week or better.
hey funny you say that me and my dad have been bluegill fishing lately to add fish to our pond lol ill be thinking about that next time!
When I installed one of those I just tore the screen off one side to make the job a lot easier. I was able to tap the bees out easily. Also I used the strap you yanked off the 1st queen cage and tacked it over the top of a frame to hold the queen cage in since I had no drawn comb. I put a queen excluder between the deep box and the bottom board until they drew comb and had eggs to prevent them from absconding my combless box.
did 20 of those cans 2 weeks ago, they all were a bugger, you did fine. Glad to see some youth in the game. You handled yourself very well, my daughter is prolly twice your age and would be complaining for a week is she got one sting from my bees and she never helps in the yard. They used to have a thin metal strap in place of the that black plastic strap, that metal was nice to bend into a clip to hang the queen cage from the frames. If you aint keeping those empty packages, wack on one side, cut the screen with your hive tool on three sides and dump. Much better that trying to shake everyone through the middle hole. Good job
haha thank ya. thanks for letting me know
Natalie, a funny but gut wrenching video to watch. As a seasoned beekeeper, meaning an old one, a father of an independent daughter, who I am very proud of, and the grandfather of her own daughters, It is always hard to just let them be. To watch as they experience an undertaking by themselves so that they can grow up and learn from their own mistakes. I would say so much here that could of helped you with this but can't. It is a humourous lesson in Murphy's Law. The performance in which if anything that could go wrong will go wrong. :) Good luck! 🐝
Just so great your laughing! Not everything goes perfectly. The joys of beekeeping. ❤
haha thanks
That was fun...I have never put bees in a hive. I would have screamed like a girl with that many stings. Tough woman.
haha thanks
This video reminded me of a snowball rolling down a hill :)
hahaha!
see how beautiful my bees are
Your friend Kamon has a great video on installing packages. My can got stuck at the bottom. Wasn't fun.
friend? yeah not quite... kidding yes he does I've recommended it a million times!!
@@BeekeepingWithNatalee love your videos. I share them all the time. Keep up the great work. 👍
Usually if you turn the package upside down and give a little shake, the can will move out enough to get a grip. Spray or splash the bees through the screen with sugar syrup first and then you can just shake them out. Also you can use a wire or bread tie , twist around the queen cage and hook over the top of a frame to suspend cage. Make sure cage is positioned so that a dead attendant won't block exit hole. Sometimes it's helpful to make a small hole through the candy with a nail if candy is hard, or release her manually if she's not out in 3 or 4 days.
ok
Natalie, you a beast! Sticking yer hand down in there like that was absolute beast mode!
I/people learn as much or from vids like this than if you are perfect’.
Ive transferred a number of packages over the years. It seems like any method works as long as the queen is in the hive where you want the bees.
Well done!! Love yer growth!
haha thank you! your definitely right!
Natalie,
I do not use packages much anymore, but the easiest way I have found to get the can out is to use duct tape to stick to it and pull it out
Let me give you my experience with packages. Turn the package upside down to remove the can, just let the can out enough to hold it. Turn the package back over. Bump the package down to make the bees fall to the bottom then remove the queen, place the piece of wood back over the hole. I've found you dont need to place the queen between the frames. Simply lay the queen cage on top of the frames on it's side or face up. Place a deep brood box on and lay the package on the frames on it's side. This prevents dead bee's from going on the frames below. The next day, you can remove the package and 3 or 4 days later they will have let the queen out and you can remove the empty brood box. My experience consists of keeping bees since 1970.
Thank you for sharing that mate , many new bee keepers would more than likely as in this video be doing it all wrong not knowing how to go about it , I myself have never used package bees , I bought a established hive when I started 25 years ago and collected swarms and make splits etc , never needed packaged bees but maybe someday I might try one and see how that goes . 👍
well thanks guys making me feel real smart right now.. if your looking for a GOOD video on installing a package go to Kamon Reynold channel. not mine
I prefer spending aliitle more and getting a nuc.
That was smooth :)
no it wasn't.. ha
For someone that’s an experienced beekeeper, sure did dumb it down with packages.
ha. just trying to keep it real everyone starts somewhere lets not make people feel bad about trying to learn something! but thanks for the comment anyways
@@BeekeepingWithNatalee especially how you went about it🤣
😂😂😂
Im like turn it over use gravity lol ... well done young lady
haha yeah thanks
Excellent video - we all make mistakes. Great to see an "expert" messing up!
haha well thank you!
Haha, made me laugh. You cured me of wanting a package. I will stick with nucs for my work.
lol yeah go with the nucs. although its not hard unless your an idiot like me which i doubt
Great video.. thanks
thank you
I guess you can say a "super" fail ;) Best video.
haha sure can
Keeping it real....
that's right!
I LIKE the videos once in a while that have natural learning curves and humor and bloopers included!
So couldn't you leave the queen cage attached to the box with the strap and let it dangle down in between the space of a removed frame until they queen leaves? The bees would follow her out.
HOW in the world can you reach into bees and tolerate the stings? THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!! But then, I've never worked with bees.
haha well good. yeah idk it was my mistake so i had to fix it which mean a few sting unfortunately
By the way the bees are acting towards the queen she would be safe to be released.
I just cut the screen. Easy Peasy
you need to turn up the volume, when its like this one and the last few, I don't stick around because i have a hard time hearing you.
I've done almost everything i can spent lots of money and time trying to get better audio
I find it VERY surprising that you don't know anything about installing packages. There are tons of videos on how to do it.
well just because i don't know how doesn't mean I've never watched a video on it Kamons got a good video on it of course. just I've never needed to install one so it was a learning experience for me
Natalee, you need a better microphone, can never hear you even when i turn up speakers high .😥😥
well I've done almost everything i can sorry ill keep trying
@@BeekeepingWithNatalee last video had better sound
Thumbs 👍 up on attempting a new method for your journey in Beekeeping with Natilee adventure!
Thanks! 👍
