That's the first time I've heard or seen anyone go into so much detail about what's what in a be hive David. I certainly appreciate the lesson. Thanks so much.
Thank you Nena!!!
same find it really educational and fun to watch here
Agreed!
@@supportourmilitary4768 , do you also watch his Barnyard Hacks channel?
Thank you for remembering the new beekeepers! This is foreign language to us so thank you for taking time to point out and explain things!
Thank goodness for the help for us new beekeepers I was feeling so overwhelmed with stuff over my head. Please keep giving us newcomers more info like this
Perfect video to get me up to speed. I started bee keeping this year and this video was the perfect starter lesson. Thank you for the video!
So did I, also got the bees from him. Those are some really docile bees hes got. The ones I got are pretty docile aswell.
David, thank you for ‘dumbing it down’ for us newbies. I learn a tremendous amount from your videos.
The light was perfect. We could see everything so clearly. Thanks.
David - teacher here in upstate NY. Maybe-kinda-sort aspiring keeper; fascinated, at least, with all of this. Kudos to you, your manner and style, and being conscious of returning to entry-level knowledge here and there for the non-experts and aspirational hobbyists out there. Well done, sir.
And that’s what a sting looks like. Haha. Love it.
Hello sir , thank you for going back to the basics we as beekeepers should always encourage the next upcoming beekeepers and pass on our knowledge and experiences to save these unbelievable creatures . Great video.
This was great. Thank you for remembering us newbies!!
I'm new again to beekeeping after 39 years of being away, and I took it apon myself to spend 10 months learning before getting my bees. I know about EVERYTHING you are teaching here. But I do believe I am the exception to the rule. I always do things this way. I love researching and learning on my iMac
You’re absolutely right ! Bees are very very important, you gotta know what you are doin. I’m still learning and I’m very excited!
Ive watched over a hundred hours of content in preparation for entering the world of bee keeping and this was the first to take time for this really basic comb analysis. Without being able to identify the basic contents of a comb on these frames, you aren't bee keeping, and I'm really glad Barnyard Bees realized this kind of info was badly lacking on all the other channels. Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!! Great video. Please keep doing and encouraging TH-cam videos for beginners!
Thank you so much Aleks!!!
Sound advice and great way to reset the channel to help people who all just received packages/nucs.
Great video. I just started out and have wild bees in our hive. They where under our house and I caught them in our hive. Thanks for the info.
@Who Cares make you a swarm trap. I am going to be doing this to catch more swarms this year.
Thanks! Such clear visuals of the queen really helped to learn to identify her.
Thanks for this! It’s nice to go get the basics for us beginners!
Thank you! Thank you! I am a first time bee keeper and I have been asking for a video like this. Thank you.
Probably the best and most informative video I've seen on my journey to learn about honey bees before i dive into beekeeping. Seriously, Thank you tremendously!
Great video. Thanks for remembering us "soon to be" beekeepers.
Love the information!!
Keep the “newBEEs” videos coming!
Awesome 👍 new this year. Thanks for the knowledge. Really like your videos. Every bit helps.
Thanks for thinking of us...
Beginners !!! 👏👏👏👏
You pointed out EXACTLY What negative effect is achieved with
Too much of a unexplained Lingo-bubling...
Thanks !!!
Thank you, I'm going into my second year, first noticed "dusty" looking newborn bees in one of my hives yesterday.
Thank you for this - it helps to see this on new comb, rather than older comb, as I am just starting, having purchased a package of your bees that arrived May 6. I watch your videos, Fred Dunn's, flow hives and a few others as much as possible. The bees you sent me are so docile that I have not used any smoke, bare hands and haven't had any issue with regard to their temperament. Also, the bees were void of any infestation of any kind, best I can tell. no mites or beetles. Really happy. The only thing I probably should have done to begin with is put in some sort of foundation. They have cross combed like crazy initially. I am brand new at this, but I had to take out the equivalent of maybe half frame in cross combing which is all nectar or clear comb. I ended up buying foundation (better bee wax) , and I am now trying to stay out of the hive for a couple weeks before I check again. Each time I do something, I learn a better way to do it.. as I am going through this. Hopefully my colony survives my mistakes.. any comments on the cross combing would be helpful - as well as how often I can be in the hive to check and adjust the cross combing.
Thank you for this🙂 like seriously... thank you.
Welcome. 👆 don’t be an ass! B4 someone bends you over and spanks ya!
New at beekeeping. This has been so helpful!
Great video. I agree with you we should teach all that we can to new beekeepers. It's some of the basic stuff we just run through the hive and say things that the new beekeepers don't know.
THANK YOU!!! You said that TH-cam is overloaded with advanced stuff, and you're right. I can't find anything to get started. Figured out more on this one video than the last 5 combined. All the others point at things on the comb like "there's pollen, there's workers, there's drones, there's honey, and capped honey ..." and they never say anything about how to tell which is which!
Would have been great if you mentioned what a nuc is for. You mentioned that a mini nuc is for breeding ... anyway, you did say more were coming - I'm going to look for it now! I don't even have a man made beehive yet. Have a wild hive that took up residence in an old deck box, and I've been looking at bee keeping since I found them. I love having them around to pollenate the garden, so finding those got me interested.
Thank you for your information. As a new bee keeper I appreciated the basic information! Very helpful.
im not a bee keeper but been watching now that summers coming very intresting well explained thanks for all you guys do
From a new Beekeeper in the UK, thank you so much. Very helpful.
You did a great job breaking down the hive and its various frames and their locations as the bees wanted them to be. Thnaks. I am a subscriber now.
This is really helpful for the new beekeepers.
Like Edward Torres said, thank you so much. I'm new to bee keeping and this video helped me so much.
This is so helpful, really! I am brand new to beekeeping and my new bees thank you for helping them by teaching me!
For all concerned about bee stings, after making sure the stinger is out.... use your pinky finger to get some ear wax from your ear (gross I know) and apply the wax to the sting. It really helps with wasp stings and fire ant bites as well. For me, the pain goes away withing 30 sec to a minute and it won't swell up. After about 10 minutes, I usually forget that I was stung/bit. Fire ant bites/stings usually take a couple of applications, but if done right, the bite/sting won't puss up or hurt.
Great thing about this method is, most people always have their own ears and fingers within reach at all times.
Those with allergies might want to consider keeping benadryl or EpiPens handy.
Thank you for this video! Im starting this year, i have all my gear, ive built 3 hives and i have 2 nucs ill be picking up at the end of april! Im super stoked, ive been researching for a few months, and learning all i can. I also built 2 swarm traps, maybe ill luck out and catch my own colony to put in the 3rd hive. Keep posting, i love your vids! Thanks for doing it!
Thank you for posting this! I got my first hive last weekend after watching bee videos for several years and i still needed a little help identifying. I did spot my queen though.
Thank you I needed this video. I'm on my second year I started with one hive I have 5 now 4 I started this year . I learned alot on this video.
First year beekeeper here. This was a super helpful video. Thanks for making it. Liked and Subscribed!
This is very helpful, thank you. Not many videos out there like this.
I am watching for awhile but haven’t started Still a new bee keeper. Thank you.
Thanks so much for taking your time to further us new beekeepers!
Such a great video! Thank you for describing all these basics so well!
Very informative video! Thanks for going back to the basics.
we are so lucky to have this David juuust saying
Nice back to basics video.
Thank you for the video I always here about pollen and I am always looking and pausing videos trying to locate it lol. Now I know what to look for. I think this is great for the new beekeeper like me.
Ty so much this is my first year bee keeping. On may 4 installed my nuc in 10 frame. On may 22 they swarmed. I caught the swarm and put it in my nuc box I did not think a nuc would swarm
Hey, mate. Just want to say thanks heaps for ya work!
Thank you so much!! Very informative and clear
This video is PERFECT! I am a newbie and this is just what I needed to help boost my confidence. My mentor is helpful but has a busy life too and I hate bombarding him with silly questions. This is like having another mentor! Keep them coming!! (Is that a deer hanging in the background?)
Great job on covering the basics!
Thank you for your videos I'm new this year to bee keeping and I dont know what i'm doing
Great video thanks! Nice bee yard too
Thank you so much! Just what I needed.
Yes yes...thank you i was feeling exactly that way...
Hey thanks, this was really helpful!
its always nice to have our memories refreshed good video
i’m in a few fascistbook bee groups. i posted a picture in one asking what it was (it was a queen cell near the top of the frame) and i got some really a$$ hole responses like “did you do any research before you got bees” why do people have to be so nasty? Anyway, turns out i needed to set up a swarm trap because my bees had decided to split their own hive. They did it one day this week, probably monday or tuesday. So this coming week i will get another 10 frame brood box and a feeder for them so once they have established themselves on those 5 frames, i can upgrade them and get them ready for winter.
Thank you. I love your videos. I keep bragging that my beekeeper is the best beekeeper! My 2 Nucs are doing great and I captured a swarm. So I’m starting out fast in my first year. Great help from you and your team. I’m wondering when I have to start worrying about verroa mites and what is the best way to treat them.
My Bees love there new Queen from Barnyard Bees
Hi David,
This is that 71 year old in Colorado Springs.
My step son and I are doing this as a way of hanging out together; we both enjoy bees, and are very excited to be successful.
What do you do if you have started a package (the only hive you have-just one package) and the queen flies off?
I know that question shows my lack of experience; however I might need this information for the future.
Thank you for all your very informative videos.
Wayne
This was a great video. I learned alot in video. Im wanting to start with a box or 2. And learn how to care for them and whats really going on.
Thanks mate appreciate you think of us rookies
Aside from the color differences you pointed out, the brood looks like bubble wrap, while the capped honey is flatter, not smooth, just flat.
Your bees are so calm. Is there a time of day when they are more calm to inspect the hives
Yes, afternoon when it's nice and sunny.
This was soooooo interesting
i enjoyed the content!
I keep close attention to you. I'm in Ellijay so our timing is very close. I have my first hive going with two boxes waiting for bees. I believe I saw three queen cells and I'm guessing that if there are queen cells that's because something happened to the queen. I was told that I could do a slip but I probably wouldn't get honey for this year.. I've pretty much left my hive alone. I did put a medium super on and they have recently move to the super.
Hey Dave Would you please show us how you attach the 8 lb fish line to the frames? Thanks for all the great videos. I’ve made up five two frame nucs to help with the increase that I hope to make this year.
thankyou so much!
Nice I am first
@Barnyard Bees David, do you have any videos describing how to minimize squashing bees with the frames and cover, etc? Also, how do you get 10 frames back in a 10 frame box after an inspection and minimize squashing bees? Video links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you!
Well Done !!!
Also I don't know if you have one or not, but sometime could you please do a video about pollen traps? About how they work and such. I'm sure I could find a video elsewhere but we would probably understand you better lol
Ty needed this
Your videos are very helpful and very informative. I received a recommendation for your videos from an experienced beekeeper that I personally know and I have learned a lot from your videos. Something that I was wondering is, I noticed that on the wax foundation inside of the cell cut-outs there is a “Y” shape on one side and an upside-down “Y” shape inside of the cell cut-outs on another side of the frame. I read that the side of the frame with the foundation that has an upside-down “Y” (which looks like a Mercedes logo” must be positioned facing the middle and inside of the hive, while the side with a regular “Y” must be positioned towards the outside of the hive. Have you heard anything about this, and does it sound correct?
Thank you
On this the caps on brood was lite in color, some is dark brown. some day for new keepers explain because Question was asked of me other day. Thank you Sir
I was looking back through your videos. What size holes are in your top feeders to place a rapid feeder???
Whats the latest you'll ship bee packs? I've ordered boxes but they arent here yet., but I still want to start this year. I really enjoy your videos and havent even been stung yet I'm so new at it.
David, I just noticed that how your bees are doing very well at laying brood. My question is are they doing too good? I know your in the business of growing more bees,which is it possible for the genetics to be bred out for good honey production? Kind of like beef cattle verses dairy cattle. I was just curious if you keep this in mind during the growth of your apiary. Thanks for the video!
@Yo Mama it was a simple question,don't be rude,there's no need for it.
Awesome! When you get stung , do you yourself smoke that area on your body, to stop more bees coming around and stinging you afterwards?
I have put some new frames in with fishing line. What am I doing wrong because they build around the line?
Dave - Could you demonstrate how to wire a frame with the fishing line? I have no idea how to tie the ends off so they won't come loose. I've done the metal wire. Just not the fishing line. Thanks!
I would like to see to looks like your using a staple. I use nails wrapping around and driving in.
I tie it off on one side using a larkshead knot and pull it tight and tie the tag end with a double half hitch.
I run it in a manor to shoelace it so the line is ran through the middle holes twice and once on the bottom and top. I used 6lb monofilament.
I put a small wax strip across the top and add a little melted wax to hold the strip in place. Then, pull fishing line through the frame holes and staple on each end.
As a new beekeeper or wanna be, how do you attach starter strips of foundation comb to an empty wood frame? I just ordered most of my gear from Barnyard bees and next need to get my frames setup as well as ordering my queen and bees 3 lb. package. Manny the Yup Yup Man
What about when checkerboarding frames? Or are you talking about putting them back in the same order after they have all been drawn out?
Really appreciate the beginner's video Dave. I'm about 2/3 through the "Beekeeping for Dummies" book I got from you a couple months ago, and I know it's going to be all book learning until I have my own hives. I have a question though: I know they feed royal jelly to young larvae to make new queens (swarm cells), but I don't know if you can tell the difference between royal jelly and honey on the frame, or if royal jelly is even there at all, or whether they have to do something else to the honey to make it royal jelly. In other words, I'm confused about it. Any clarification/explanation would be appreciated, thanks in advance. :)
The royal jelly looks like a whitish snot material in the bottom of the cell, and you will see the larvae in the center of it feeding on it.
@@davidhaught84 Thank you!!! I probably would have seen that for the first time and been alarmed that something was terribly wrong. :)
Next year I'm interested in trying to make comb honey......that frame you have in the beginning where you showed the capped honey, can I use that type of frame and still get comb? Or do I need to use one without any wires? Oh and why do you number your frames? Is it to help put it back in order? (Nevermind lol you answered my question)
Thanks so much. Your. videos have helped me learn a lot. I esp like the reading the frame video. Question: can you see nectar in a hive frame? I am wondering if there are any signs of it in the hive. I understand from more experienced beekeepers in my area (Sacramento Calif) that external signs such as blackberry in bloom) signals nectar flow period. But how do I know if the bees have enough nectar and whether I should supplement w a protein patty?
You shouldn't have to feed pollen at all from March till August. Then feed till Feburary. We use ultra bee.
BARNYARD BEES I am an urban beekeeper (2nd year). Didn’t harvest honey in first year bec wanted to leave it for the bees. I extracted 1 deep box
3/4 full in March (2.5 gal honey.) i have 2 hives now. One was a swarm given to me., which I’ve had for about a month. I did hive check on Friday and since then a couple of bees are more aggressive yesterday and today, buzzing around my head when I sit by my bistro table (hives are about 50 feet away. I never had this before. Was told to check bees are bringing. In n ectar. Have no. Idea h ow. To. Check for t hat. (Apologies keyboard seems. To be going bad).
David, can you please answer my question about liquid ant bait on ants that are in the ceracell feeder when feeding in spring or fall is it safe to place them next to the hive? Also “Thank you” for all you do to help educate the new beekeepers like me!! This is my second attempt at it. nature killed my first attempt (black bear) ate my first two hives. I now have chain link and electric fence and also build another inside one of my buildings.
Bait the Beatle blasters with ant bait, as long as bees can't reach it they will be fine.
That was one of the best training videos I have received. Of course, I haven't seen all of your videos yet.
Dave, I just took a look at my hive today and noticed I didn't see any brood, eggs, or larvae. They swarmed a few weeks ago, but I thought there should be a new queen. I don't have an extra hive to try to save this one, so would you suggest I buy a new mated queen to save my colony? There are still bees in there, and I do see nectar/honey but thats about it. It really bummed me out when I saw there was no queen.
How would you identify a hive with foulbrood? If it is how do you treat it?
Do you have to separate the larva from the frame/honey?
I have a question Dave. I want to move my hive from the back yard to front yard what recommendations do you have ?
If you can move it a few feet every few days
