This single video got me into beekeeping. I was 8 when I saw this now I’m 13, time flys
I have just purchased 45 acres and have always wanted to start up Bee keeping. Now that I am retired, I look forward to learning the art/joy of honey making. Thank you for the start up video. Cheers from the Atlantic in Nova Scotia, Canada
I chuckled when you said "they don't like that." Very interesting video.
That was fun to watch. I liked the landing ramp and the temporary defense perimeter.
i am a bee keeper from uk . you did a good job, all the best. ignore the bad comments,,your doing a super job keep it up,
I also want to invest in this business and want to start...is this benificial plz answer
Thanks Dan, I'm also in Colorado and starting my first hive ever in the backyard today. I appreciate the quick review before it's game time in a few hours.
Commented 12 years how does it feel to look back and did it work out?
@@harb9265 It certainly feels nostalgic, as I miss the free time I used to have. Moving and home owning were not good changes for my bee keeping hobby. Time or space-you got to choose. Yes, my bees mostly worked out. My only significant disappointment was ants finding a 4 gallon bucket of honey before it could be bottled….ants taste really bitter.
Did you know that bee's don't like things that put out electricity near their hive? Turns out the negative charge that builds on the bee's fur (static electricity) when they fly is often countered by other electric fields. This means that they can't as easily collect pollen (which is positively charged, so is attracted to the bee's negative static charge) and will desert hives where this is a problem. Great video, it's very simple and easy to follow!
Thank you for nice video! Best greetings from Entomologist and Beekeeper in Ukraine! Looking forward for your new videos!
That's a really interesting video. I loved the new honeycombs that were visible when Dan pulled out the shelf near the end of the video. Fascinating peek into a bee-keeper's life.
Good video. I would put the sugar syrup feeder inverted of the hole in the inner cover, then put on an empty super and then the hive cover on top. You want the syrup to be inside the hive.
Good job it is a number of years since I worked with 150 colonies up here in Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada
Brilliant and interesting. Thank you for uploading and good luck with your beehives!
Bees are so freaking amazing!!!!
I agree so I am building a fish tank onto a hive so I can watch them through the glass
I'm glad this guy seems to like his bee farming.
I'd have gone completely insane within half a week.
Excellent Video and great quality information. You have included many useful tips for the new beekeeper.
Thank you for interesting educational video. Best greetings from beekeepers in Kiev, Ukraine. :)
Digging the 70' s head band!
3:30 "They don't like that." LOL! Too funny. Great video and thanks for the info. Today I discovered a volunteer bee hive under the lid of a plastic compost bin in my backyard. I went away for 4 days and when I came back there they were! So, I am learning about bee hives and seeing if I might want to get into it with a set of wooden bee hive boxes and transfer these bees into it. Not sure what I will do, but I like bees (+honey!) and want to let them have some kind of place here if possible.
Also small tip. When extracting honey bees can cut through a screen door given their are enough bees.
What company did you buy the bees from?
That's beyond awesome . Gonna do that this year.
This is great when combined with the soccer view mode!
Hell.. I was waitin for this guy to start singing 'it's a beautiful in the neighborhood.'.
This was interesting, thanks from England.
Going out to do this exact thing for five hives. Thanks for the visual information! Great job!
Dan I have been bee keeping for a few years now and long ago have hung up the leather gloves in trade for nice strong surgical types of gloves. For bee keeping a lighter colored or white gloves are preferred but I use the real strong black ones that can be purchased from an automotive parts store, they sell them for parts washing or just general auto repair work and they do perform great because you have excellent touch and feel capabilities yet the bees do not even try to sting them or be interested in them like bare hands or even leather gloves which tend to make it difficult to work on hives without injuring or killing some bees and as soon as you do crush or kill a bee or two they tend to send out an alarm pheromone which makes them even more protective and agitated. I urge you to try using a pair of latex type of gloves, of course they do not breathe well and your hands may tend to start to get sweaty depending on how warm it is but I think it is well worth the benefit of having a great sense of touch and not injuring any worker bees. I am talking about the disposable thin gloves and not the big thick up to your elbow type.
Goatman, what DON'T you do????????? ;-) Thanks for raising bees. We sure need them.
I'm allergic to bee-stings, but this was really awesome.
We have a beehive, we also have "cellphones" (we call them "mobile phones" here), and we both do amateur radio - and our bees aren't dead yet!
A lot of beehives are too stressed - they get moved around too much, or the commercial producers take too much honey from them. Our beehive hasn't moved since we put it where it is about 3.5 years ago. We take about four frames of honey twice a year - both during early to mid summer. Other times, we just check the hive to make sure all is well.
Always good to be 'Bear Smart'.
HI! Old beekeeper hear. I am in Tucson AZ. How to guard against thieves? All my hives were stolen. I had the hive changed locken down on a cement block. I have other secure ways, but the hive was pushed over, the bottom board was screwed from inside to a 2x4 one front one back. this has a drilled hole on the bottom. I drive rebar into the ground. the 2x4 is hammered down and scared through the 2x4 and locks in the hive..into the rebar. They left the bottom box. But took every thing else..
Hi from England, thank you, very informative, good luck with the bear's
I Started bee keeping this year and have 6 hives.
Some of the Video Responses are my bees!!
damn, there is detail in everything, even to get them to accept the queen. imagine you buy a queen and she runs away, or they dont accept her. its funny thinking that of bees, but quite an advanced social structure.
The bee amount, it's over 9000!
This is great... Every block should have one or two.
Hello Dan! please tell us if you use only new frames with just bare foundation when you start a new one, or do you help them with some frames with combs? Thank you!
Close to the house is ok but you will have some bees visiting you when you step outside or sit on your patio. Wear light colors, avoid black (like a bear) and they well leave you alone. Put out a dish of sugar water for them and they will be distracted to this treat and pay you no attention.
i did not know bees were so calm
good luck Dan, I have few hives with caucasian bees
Very interesting...used to keep bees when I was a kid. Next time, make sure you put a muffler on your camcorder's mic to reduce wind noise.
How informative! I like how you handled them, thanks for uploading this! I learned a lot.
excellent, and no smoke too.
Great video, nice informative graphics throughout.
The way i do it is:
Make the brood chamber 2 supers, then later on, come back and split the 2 supers and put the top brood chamber on a separate pallet. Then come back in more than 4 days and whatever hive doesnt have eggs in it is the hive that doesnt have a queen, so then introduce that hive to a queen, or queen cell and then you have two hives
A queen gets an entire cage? Wow, what luxury :D
lol 4:02 pouring a stream of bees into the box
Also its not Drones in the cage with the queen. It is other female worker bees called attendants. They take care of the queen while she is in the cage. Feed and clean her.
Thanks for posting this! I got a small orchard and am really wanting to start a hive for pollination. They had bees here years ago in Western Kansas but there is a lot of irrigated corn and I fear their pesticides will get them. I may try though, I have wanted to since high school.
Very nice video! Thanks.
this is bee one million, tower, do i have landing clearence?
roger be one million, landing pad is clear
lol, love the landing pad joke
btw, watching someone shake the bee hive is alot scarier than the guys who cover themselves in the bees
Question, I thought you guys used a screen to keep the queen isolated within the hive so she doesn't deposit eggs in the honeycomb you intend to harvest. I didn't see you install or mention one with this hive. Is that because you want to maximize reproduction because they are new?
This was very enjoyable to watch! Excellent video and captivating footage. :D
the bee that flew in front of the screen at 5:50 scared the shit outta me
@BotanyVideo yeah we got to take care and learn to respect all kinds of bees
If you just set the package of bees inside remove the can and place the queen cage inside a near by frame no shaking is required. In two days all the bees will have left the package along with the freeing of the queen.
This makes me want to have a bee farm.
Enjoy health, eat your honey! ;) That wind noise is driving me insane though.
So...not to be negative or anything, but what happens if a storm comes by and blows the whole hive off from the base, seeing as how it appears to just be light wooden box?
how soon do you change the entrance reducer.? how crucial is the levelling of the hive support?
Thanks for posting. Starting a couple hobby hives this spring. Any tips?
Me and my dad used to keep bees. Nowadays we are not able to keep a hive alive longer for a year. The one time we did it was eaten by a bear.
Precious video, i learned a lot
I live in Sacramento California and I've seen some of the bee hives being shipped out from here, it's pretty cool watching the hive sitting in the fields...What part of California did you order the hives from?
nice you should keep doing updates on this video
You're very brave filming this during a hurricane.
very educational. i feel like i want to start a bee hive.
LOL @ the bee sound at 5:52!
How to make 1 colony into 2 or 3 colonies?
I heard about requeening, anybody know where I can google this information?
Thanks
Recent research found out that bees are doing much better in cities then in rural areas. And that the bees in cities are healthier and have bigger colonies. The reason is agriculture. In rural areas there are a lot of monoculture crops. The bees honey has more or less pollen from 20 species in cities it's 200 species. More diversity is better health. Plus people don't use pesticides in cities or at least a lot less.
@xXDominoXx I think you are right, if everyone would have a hive or two in their back yard. Then we would have no problem with pollination. It is important though I think as you said, to really learn about handling bees, before you buy some bees. Otherwise you will be disappointed, if things go bad for your bees.
How far would you recommend putting the hives away from your home? I have a toddler and I am afraid she will panic and get stung, but my husband and I would love to have at least two hives this Summer. Also, when do you recommend setting up a hive?
those hives look nice and new! I like the idea of the pallets. How do you store them in the winter?
Fascinating. Thankyou.
2:30.... sounds like he's an extra for resident evil :P
i was hiking and found a bee hive and smoked it out was best honey ive ever had
Quick question!! At 3:44 when he sprays the sugar water on the bees wouldnt that hurt them? the water on their wings i mean. if u can answer that would help!
great video. thanks
i really want to start bee keeping i think it would be super fun!
Please make a follow up video for the bee's, thanks
There was a bee that came in through my window about 15 minutes ago and landed on top of my computer,WHILE I was looking at bees on the computer. How is that for a qoincidence ? I just sat there looking at it, and it probably sensed it and flew right out the window again. I think the bee and I had a moment of understanding.
Interesting :D Just found this video because I uploaded a beeproblem video, our bees are at our balcony in a apartment area, in a chest. Some day beginning of next month they are going to be removed. Wrong place to build a hive.
why to release the queen a bit later? so that she does not fly away or what? didnt get that
for the great final you should push the camera guy on the electric fence.
wow amazing keep up the good work your just earned a subscriber!
I would like to start keeping bees. Where do I order my equipment from and where do I order my bees from? Should I order bees from local bee keepers for the allergy benefit from it being local?
because we love bees and like the honey, im a beekeeper myself :)
If I put sugar syrup straight on the ground like that, it would be swarming with ants in about an hour, then they find the hive and its good-by bees.
I just got 2 warre hibves today.........they don't have the pre made combs, pretty sure they naturally can build them themsleves
Very nice Dan, thank you- i'm wondering- nice Bear protection- I'm wondering- how
do you protect the hive from ants-with that sugar water and their eventual honey? We don't have a bear problem in San Diego, but we sure have ant issues. I so far have used cans of water and oil at the feet of the tables-but ants still seem to be a problem- especially for the young hives.
thanks!
Great Video!!!
Great video, and very informative!
I am interested to see how a hexagon in beehive is formed from zero to one.
Great video, thanks
lol the bee at 5:50, thought it was a fart
When is the best time to start a beehive? And where is the best place to get a beehive thanks?
thats a whole lot of bees!
If I saw that I would scream like a little girl and run so fast! haha
thank you. how did you know that the queen flew away the first time?
@garibah Where do the bees live? In between the hive boards?
