Hi Larissa, great points. Both my brother and I use deep brood supers, 1 or 2 Ideal supers and then our flow hive super on top. We do use metal excluders below the flow super only. We do tend to get quite a few drones stuck in the queen excluder too. Thanks again TrickyTrev 🇦🇺👍🐝🍯
Hi, when adding new frames to the boxes to avoid swarming is there a specific type of frame we should be swapping out with (the old one that is in the box). Like a honey frame, brood frame, etc, thanks.
I live in Pennsylvania now but was stationed in Hawaii for 6 years - loved it!
Nice! There's a lot I love about both states :)
Thanks for the tips and very good advise.
Love your videos have gotten a great bit of knowledge from you thanks for all you do.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Cool to see your cat wondering around behind you. Like my dog always gets into the videos too.🇦🇺👍🐝🍯
That cat is so funny. She patrols the perimeter of our property all day long. Almost every time I look out that door I see her walking by :)

How much does a five frame nuc colony sell for on the Big Island?
About $200-$250.
How can you keep your hive small with one brood box and one medium honey super?
great info. What kind of wage does a commercial apairy in Hawaii pay these days? It might be an interesting job
It's been 7 years since I worked for a commercial apiary but I know it's pretty poor. I'd say it's still probably under $20/hr.
Is your honey comb still on the site?
It is!
