In this video, join me as I inspect my newly re-queened nucleus hive and discover a massive infestation of small hive beetles. It's a concerning sight, but I take you through the process of managing the infestation and preventing any further damage to the hive. As a beekeeper, it's important to stay vigilant and keep a close eye on our hives to ensure their health and safety.
But it's not all bad news! In this video, I also receive exciting new beekeeping equipment from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. I received a brand new bee suit and bee box, and I can't wait to put them to use in my beekeeping adventures.
Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or just starting out, this video offers valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of beekeeping. Join me as I navigate the ups and downs of this fascinating hobby and learn from my experiences along the way. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more beekeeping content

I’m super happy to see both my girls are settled in safe 😀❤️❤️🐝 looking forward to seeing how they do for you and getting feedback as a new queen breeder . She’s a lucky girl to get a posh box 👍🏻
Thanks again Robyn.
Man what save it was awesome you rechecked that box that could have been devastating Great job Awesome save They looked very happy take care
100% 😀
Congrats on your sponsorship mate. Good vid also
Thanks Craig.
Hornsby beekeeping supplies are great! We recently grabbed a bunch of stuff from them when we visited Sydney, including your jacket - very high quality.
…good luck with the SHB and the new hive!
😀👍
Good job
Love the velcro tab to keep the face netting away from your face, sadly missing on my current version.
I love it.
Mate you need to put your hives on a stand about 600mm high saves your back , you can make one with Besser blocks and some treated timber with that you can spray on the ground with salt and vinegar mix this will kill off the pupae that burrow in the ground to change into a adult beetle you must keep your hives free from grass underneath so ants and other bugs don't have easy way to get into hive
Personally I wouldn't go searching for a newly introduced queen. If you find eggs that's enough you need to know. Disruption to the whole hive can lead to them killing the queen, they think she had something to do with all the carnage. You leave them undisturbed for a full brood cycle of the new queen.
I can only see one problem with the jacket. There's no thumb elastic on the sleeves, I prefer them.
I found the thumb tabs today. They were inside the sleeves. Oops
Aren't you from S.A? Or is that the Bush Bee man? Since they're based in Greaterr Sydney region. I go to both of hornsby's stores and they are like warehouses! They should sponsor you to be honest.
I’m based in Vic.
They did sponsor me

Dude... push your frames together for the appropriate bee space and to prevent all of that burr comb.
Dude… if you mean the honey frames it creates wider frame and more honey per frame.
If you mean the brood nest get your eyes checked. No space in my brood boxes.
