This is badass. These hives are my favorite out of the hundreds of beekeeping vids I've binged
They're a great hive, I really enjoy using it.
This is really incredible. How amazing to see these natural honeycombs!! Thanks to bees and beekeeper's work!!
Thanks for the positive feedback
had this idea randomly thinking about my future beehives i wanted to build and why no one seemed to build them like that. im so glad im not the only one to think of it, i would have liked to see a brood frame though, just to see how they shape with it and how much honey reserve they have on that frame (looking to keep in colder areas) but im loving what im seeing in the idea so far. great video
Thanks for your input. I’ll take some fill of the brood comb next time I’m in the hive. You can see lots of videos on TH-cam that can show you some brood. Look up cathedral hive or Backyard Hives
What is surprising is the bees don't attach the comb to the sides of the lower main hive structure....The bees build the comb only on the removable upper 3 sides of the removable frame even though the main hive structure is only a few millimeters away from the outer edge of the comb.
As if the bees know the comb is going to be removed from the hive and are cooperating with the purpose of the hive structure for comb harvesting.
they always leave space so they can move around the combs, look up 'bee space'
They never attach the lower part of any comb like never ever period excepting when they ran out of space in a dramatic way but as you can see there are not so many bees in that colony
Great idea, following the shape of the honeycombs !!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Nice idea. Now I have to draw the plans, build the parts, and give it a try.
Its not my idea, I bought the hive from a friend. You can get the plans from www.backyardbees.com All the best with it!
とてもユニークな巣箱ですね！来年の養蜂活動の参考にさせていただきます！素敵な動画をありがとうございます！
sorry, I dont read Japanese
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 A very unique hive! I will use it as a reference for next year's beekeeping activities! Thank you for the wonderful video!
@@user-qn9bc9ut1c Thank you for translating your comment to English and thank you for the good comment. Arigato
This gave me the solution for my hive build.
I'm glad you got some inspiration from this. All the best for the build.
How do you keep the queen separated from the honeycomb? So that she make brood comb in the same comb as honey is stored?
Because the Brood is like Rigby ball it is usually in the middle and the side you find honey most of the time. Then the queen lays egg and stay in the middle, not interested on the side.
Very beautiful, the quality of that comb is wonderful
Yes its beautiful!

G'day Adrian, just subscribed (can't believe I didn't do it years ago). These cathedral hives are fantastic, I hadn't seen or heard of one before. Guess what I am building next. 🙂 Hope you are well, we are kicking along here in Tassie mate. Cheers, Jason
Thanks Jason, they really are a great hive. All the best with the build.
Gday! Would love to hear your thoughts on brood comb and why it has toxins in it - I'm new to bee stuff and interested after you mentioned this!
Very cool and interesting this type of box.
I would like to ask some questions:
How much honey does such a hive produce per harvest? Do you put wax on for the bees to start pulling correctly?
Here in Brazil, the most popular option for hives is the langstroth box and the placement of honeycomb wax.
Hi, thanks for your comments and questions. It's really impossible for me to tell you how much honey any hive can give you, It all depends on the colony, the amount of nectar available and many other factors but because the comb is crushed and strained after harvesting, I do get less honey than I would normally get from a Langstroth hive that I spin the honey from the combs. No I dont use wax foundation, the bees build natural comb. Yes, the most popular hive here in Australia is also the Langstroth hive.

Greetings from fellow beekeeper! 🐝
I would love a top bar like that!
Hi Willa, sorry about the late reply. You can get plans for the Cathedral hive from Backyardhive.com
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 Thank you, I was hoping to find a place to buy one. I don't do wood work.
@@willagrant7403 I bought mine from a friend but he wont make any more because they are very difficult to make.
Quá tuyệt vời quá đỉnh bạn ơi 👍

With the heavy metals the cocoons from the baby bees and everything in that old wax, why do you want to produce honey in those? Why do you just cycle them out as brood frames and replace with new top bars. Maybe remove them early spring late winter once they are empty? Seems like brand new wax with brand new honey is the golden ticket set up.
Cool hives all around though thank you for sharing. From a beekeeper in Lexington Kentucky, I’m enjoying your videos.
I start to cycle out old brood comb about 4 years after I introduce a swarm and over a couple of seasons I manage to get it all out. usually the combs still have small amounts of brood and honey at the top so pulling them out completely doesnt feel right for me, moving them across slowly does the job just fine.

Thanks for watching and the positive feedback

Amazing!
Crystals for your Work!
Can you tell me how bees can build wax parallel to tires without sticking them together with wax؟
Parabéns meu amigo legal.
Sorry I don’t speak Spanish
👍👍
Have you tried to make a round honeycomb frame?And then such a very interesting idea came to my mind, about the round bee frames!
I haven't made a round framed hive, but I have seen them online. some traditional hives in the Middle East are cylindrical and there is a modern hive with round frames but I cant remember what its called.
@@beekeepingnaturally4580
A round movable bee frame with a central axis, like a bicycle wheel, most likely no one has ever made or tested!
👍👍👍
I like that design... Can you post plans...

It really is fabulous, keep innovating.
thank you for your positive comment.

Hi, sorry I don't understand what you have written. Thanks for watching.
Looks like it would be much easier to harvest from. I don't raise bees, I'm just saying that from watching videos.

Great job 👌🏼
So what kind of extractor do you use ?
AMAZING that cube looks super cool compared to the white boxes i have seen
And they're a great hive to work with. thanks for your comment.
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 i often do woodworking if i ever have to make some ill try a design like these
@@junksmith_wizard They are great, you can get the plans from BackyardHive.com
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 legend!

Thank you.
Great video , have bought the plans took about 2 months to get here from the States. Looks like a intricate build.Great to see yours is doing so well.Cheers
All the best with the build, I was lucky enough to have bought the hive from a friend already populated. They are a beautiful hive to work.
I built one a few years back. They are not a beginners project, to be sure. But, take your time with the build and you'll be very happy with the results.

Thank you very much Gazim. I'm glad you liked the film.
That is a nice looking comb!
Wheres the plans for a cathedral hive?
It's stylish, classy and tasty!.
Hi Bart, I'm glad you like it! I bought the hive from a friend who made it using plans from Backyardhive.com
Beautiful

That is stylish.
Yes its a great hive to work with
Well my question is is why is everybody trying to change up the langstroth hive it looked to me like they were doing a real good job for many years this is old Rob
Sorry Rob but I think Langstroth hives are absolute rubbish! I stopped using Langstroth hives many years ago and will never go back to using one again!
Langs are heavy as shit when they are full.

As a South African beekeeper.. this is the strangest thing i've ever seen.. but unbelievably beautiful. Thank you.. so interesting and creative
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What do they do to their bees coz my bees are wild things, am a beekeeper from Kenya and lemme tell you, my bees sting anything that moves.
Even at midnight, I touch their hives and about 20 bees are on me in a second
@@josephmungai1799 African bees are way more aggressive.. I have similar problems in South Africa. Our flowering season begins from from August.. the bees are usually very aggressive from Aug to about Oct when they begin to settle down. I've had to run for my life more than once when they sting me through my clothes😂.. smokers don't help at all with those angry hives. The good part about the hives that are more aggressive.. those are the ones that will produce lots of honey. The mellow hives are the ones I worry about for their own survival
@@jansmit327 oh, I didn't know that.
I have been watching these beekeeping videos from the US and Australia and it leaves me confused.
Coz my bees, as you said, will absolutely sting you through your clothes, they go for the ears first, then the head....
But I agree, the most aggressive hives are the ones with the best quality honey.
Another thing, our bees here do not make nice, perfect combs, mostly, they run against the bars and it is difficult to separate..
@@josephmungai1799 That is interesting. We sometimes have hives that work criss cross with everything connected.. to renew those hives by placing them in a new clean brood box is a nightmare. Lost a couple of those over the years.. but luckily it very rarely happens. I always smile at these video's from the US people.. they would shit themselves as they run for their lives if they had to work on our hives😂. Do you guys have a lot of beekeepers in Kenia?
سبحان الله
Such a relaxing video and calm voice! Love it! My first hive this year was a KTBH but I made enough room in the lid that I can convert to semi-cathedral type later for comb stability. I enjoyed seeing this!
Thanks for your positive comment. Curious to see your design and know more about how it works, where can i see it
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 I don’t have any videos but I’ll try to upload some photos to Imgur and share! The lid gives two inches clearance above the bars, all around plus there is additional clearance in the middle since it slopes from a point. So I could do a shallow cathedral bar set, replacing the flat bars I have now. I used all rough sawn cedar 2x4’s so it’s pretty well insulated.
The shape is cool but what about convenience? How do you get the honey of them?
I cut the comb out of the top bars and crush the comb through a sieve into a bowl. You can see how I use the crush and strain method on my other vide call "processing Honeycomb".
@@beekeepingnaturally4580 Thank you, I will look into it:)

@2:21 Looks like the queen on the far left. Why is she in the honey part of the hive?
Definitely not the queen.

Nice video good morning
How come you don't get stung?are they stingless?
Hi Rachael, they are European honeybees not stingless bees. I get stung sometimes but I try to avoid it as much as possible. Its got a lot to do with the way I interact with my bees, if I go in with respect and patience, move slowly and not treat them roughly I usually get out without a sting but that doesn't always work so sometimes I do get stung! Hahaha.

What is the purpose of the 3 holes on top of the bar?
The holes are there to allow airflow and bees to move around easier
Where do they lay eggs
Eggs are laid towards the front of the hive near the entrance in the nest area where the bees can regulate the temperature around the brood. What your seeing are the honeycombs at the back of the hive away from the nest area.
