Great job Mel. This video has the very best sound quality of any so far. Please do not hesitate to repeat dynamics or procedures when explaining the techniques of bee keeping. Thanx for the effort and thought that goes into these wonderful presentations, LP
Hard to justify this system as a hobby beekeeper...most of us are in it to produce a bit of honey....this system is NOT designed to produce honey...it's to produce bees for sale. That in itself is not a bad thing....I may do a yard of honey production and a yard of bee production to sell nucs...have to make the $$ back somehow...it's useful in some contexts...just not for the backyard guy.
Kevin McMahon but your apiary isn't sustainable....this allows you to put up 4 nucs and a hive for the winter so the next year if you lose a hive you hit the ground running....
You clearly didnt watch the video in its entirety. Or you chose to be ignorant. Mel clearly states when you start OTS in the spring to prevent swarming, you have two choices, creating new splits OR honey production. You can take a split with old queen, and then risk just one ots with a big colony but if the virgin fails to mate or return that one colony is dead, or you can make two splits and once you have one or both queens return and are laying you recombine them right before the honey floe and make honey. Its so simple.

Looks to me like this will work for anyone
