You need the sticker on your truck that states" I'm a bee keeper, if you see me running you'd better keep up!!" That would be most appropriate for the My Bee collection brand I recon ;)

I've been loving these videos Mark, thanks!

[@arkonite]

The usual chaos, love it 🤣🤣🤣

[@privatebubba8876]

An evaluation yard is a good idea to isolate your swarms to make sure they are a healthy lot before moving them to a production yard. I only use foundation less frames and use a 3/4" starter strip at the top.

[@beezerk4623]

"Don't follow me, I do stupid shit", that would make an excellent Bush bee man T-shirt. 😁

[@lwuttke]

I got 6 out of 4 swarm traps, one swarm is now on it's 15th frame and going strong :)

@4:41 Don't worry if you get lost in your thoughts a sting from one of those ladies will bring you back to reality. Even if you put on that protective bee suit some of them can penetrate it :(

[@lwuttke]

I'm haven a beer with this guy BFE

[@nancynolton6079]

Keeping bees is like getting lost in another world - time doesn't exist for me - my husband wouldn't agree with that statement he has an internal "food" clock that needs feeding! LOL

[@harryweyer2174]

[@andrewperriman9616]

What hive management system do you use when you mention it asking about the history of your queen?Everything I've read and experienced backs your thoughts about old boxes attracting swarms too. Good luck, hope you manage to catch a few.

[@Dan40D]

Haha, nice to see you got the sticker we sent, keep up the good work. Thanks for the shout out.

[@NecromancyBlack]

Australian law states that a swarm box must have your name and phone number on it....

[@alastairsellars2611]

Depends on what state you live in...

[@munibungbeeking1719]

Like a crab pot!

[@harryweyer2174]

DPI reg is if your box is on land other than your own you need your name,licence and phone number.
