- Take a tour of the modern modular Langstroth bee hive, and learn about the structure and function of all its components. This design has changed little in the last 150 years because it is a good compromise between what bees want and what works for beekeepers. Other types of bee hives are also discussed.

This is a great tutorial, thanks! Love this guy's passion
I am learning so much. Just moved to the country and wanted a new hobby besides gardening. I was thinking chickens, but then thought "BEES". I don't care about the honey I just want local pollinators. So that flow system appeals to me if it is more maintenance free. I'll get back with you after I finish your series.
Enjoying the content hope to start soon
Thank you for this course, this course is really great 👍
I've been beekeeping for 5 or 6 years but I'm looking forward to the whole series of classes to reinforce the basics
Thanks for such detailed tutorial
This is absolutely gold! Thank you so much for this ❤❤❤❤❤
Great! Glad it helps!
Thank you
Great resource
1:08:00 I used Warre hives for about 8 years. I do believe they are better for the bees, especially in winter, because the boxes are much smaller, so the bees have an easier time staying warm.
Drawbacks: they are a pain if you want to inspect the hive and management of hive beetles is a bit problematic.
I also don't like the fact that you need to crush the comb to harvest the honey. I actually experimented with making my own Warre-sized frames, but they don't fit very well in a standard honey extractor...
I switched to Langstroth hives once the demand for my honey became too great and I couldn't supply enough (economically) with my Warre hives.
I adapted a few of my Langstroth deep boxes, so they will take Warre-sized frames. Several of my brood boxes are still set up that way.
I turned the leftover Warre boxes into swarm traps.
If you want 2 or 3 hives, just for fun and a little bit of honey every year AND you like woodworking, Warre hives are great. (My opinion)
Is it a complete online course ?
If your ordered hive comes coated in beeswax do you still need to paint it?
Dr. Jon Zawislak, our Assistant Professor for Apiculture and Urban Entomology says:
That's a great question. Bee hives that have been properly wax-dipped should be well preserved and last for many years outside in the weather.
