I add the comment before the end of the video. I’m a 3 rd generation carpenter from Romania. I enjoy the shop and the Jet table saw. That was a good price you pay for it.
Nice saw, I got two myself, one 5hp sawstop for dedicated ripsaw and a 3hp sawstop for dedicated dado station; having two makes life a lot simpler, lol; congrats.
In a word... Peaceful The soft, soothing, conversational tones of Bob Binnie & the crew in Georgia... going about their business in a relaxed manner... with “Take Me Home, Country Roads” playing in the background... Peaceful. The photo montage of the beautiful Georgia or West Virginia countryside clearly shows... that Bob also lives in ‘God’s Country’... Peaceful
@@bobbinnie9872 thank you Bob... do you have any thoughts on using pressure treated plywood... is the ‘treatment’ harmful in anyway, do you have any experience with it?
Hey Bob, could you post a quick video on the tops you use? It’s not entirely clear to me how the bucket feeder system works and what you place in the hole on the outer cover. Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving Bob from just up the road: Cashiers, NC. I just tuned in after starting beekeeping last April. Dave Burns & Kamon Reynolds have gotten me through the first eight months and mention you often! See you I hope at Hive Life!
Nice looking saw ...think there's a lot people looking at honey little different.. had no problem selling mine by the bucket it went pretty quick never really tried selling it people just know I have it .. most mine goes to other bee keepers.. comb honey went faster than anything
Thanks for showing the woodshop. It is very helpful to me. I won't make it to Hive life this year but will make it next year. I look foreward to meeting you.
Congratulations on the used table saw. Good price and a work saver. I especially appreciate the timeline for your O.A. strategy. Adjust accordingly of course. But thank you Sir 👍 Good health to you and your family, God bless
Most of my hives are heavy. Ready for the winter I reckon. Maybe one day when I come up there I can work some bees with your group. Thanks for sharing Bob!
New York City!? From the old salsa comercial lol. I'm jealous of the shop and all the supplies! I sure enjoy watching your videos. I like that you get a little bit of everything in them from the amazing staff you have to the shop set ups, and of course all the bees! Thanks for sharing Bob
Hello Bob. I usually do my own woodwork. I don't have time this year, because I'm building a honey house. I went to NYC by Amtrak once just looking around. The Amtrak ride was nice, but going there once was enough for me.
Thank you for your advice! I requeened my hive and they're so much friendlier now. She's a vsh queen. My hive was so bad they was even going through my ducktape to get in my suit. I almost sold everything after one got in my suit and stung me in the eye ball. Thank you so much for your advice! I couldn't deal with that crap anymore!
hey bob...great video! Regarding feeding sugar water...what are your thoughts on sugar water/fondant sometimes even being as good or better than honey for the bees. I think i heard that recently. I know there are lots of debate....thoughts?
I know that bees in the north , where bees can't take cleansing flights for long periods of time, seem to do better on straight sucrose feed because it has almost none of the indigestible elements, like some honey does, that can cause gut issues. Colonies in my area may benefit from it some but I don't believe it's a big deal here because our bees get out occasionally in winter and the type of honey in our region is fairly decent feed. Honey dew and very dark honey is the hardest on bees if they can't deficate often.
Hey Bob, love your videos. Recently saw the one about the new potential pesticides to treat hive beetle, as well as the use of peroxide. Really enjoying this content.. is there a place to purchase assembled hives from you? Did not see an available page on your website. Thanks!
Ha Bob I enjoyed the video where u live is just beautiful. for your information he would not tell me how much peroxide to use he said it does not last turns into water that he is past that test and is working with the almond stuff Tell your wood working guy I got my 8 frame lids and he did a wonderful job they are great. going to get some more when money allows thanks for the videos and saying your Dec mite treatments, what u do I do thank u for sharing hope u have a great trip and have a Blessed Thanksgiving
Love your videos Bob Need some help with the oxolic acid Can you educate me I need to know if it's OK in Arizona it's a little warmer here My question is what temperatures To use it and How long Can you store it? think you
Oxalic acid stores well. Just keep it dry, dark and at room temperature.. Vaporization is better than the dribble method because it's much easier on the bees. Although it's effective at any temperature above freezing, the best temperatures to use it are between 40°f and 48°f because you don't want the bees clustered tightly, so the vapors can penetrate, but it's also best if they're not flying so you get them all. Using it at warmer temperatures isn't bad, you just don't get all the bees.
Hi Bob, thanks for all your videos. I have got a guy who sells his second hand hdo boards at seriously low prices. I've been making tops and bottoms. The 5/8 hole you say to put in the bottoms, is that super necessary? Is it because of water draining or something else? Do you ever plug it up? I've got 13 going into winter here in nashville and hope for more next year, your videos are really helpful, thx again.
Hi. The 5/8 hole is needed on pallets in my opinion to let water drain when rain water runs in. Both sides of a 4-way pallet can't be tilted down hill. Not needed on single bottom boards that are tilted towards the front.
Hello Bob, I have a question and need our advise. My hives are all tucked away here for winter with loads of honey stores. I have lots of Hive Alive Fondants to give them and have a question. I added one to each hive but was wondering if I should stop for a month or so to let them feed on their own honey, then add another in February or so. What are your thoughts? Should I keep adding them when they are finished with this first one, or let them feed on their own honey reserves for a 7 weeks or so? thank you so much.
I'm not familiar with Hive Alive Fondant and don't know if it is stimulating or not. If you're going to treat with oxalic vaporization this winter it's best to stop anything that can stimulate brood rearing so you can treat when the colonies are broodless. Feeding fondant isn't absolutely necessary if the colonies have plenty of stores.
Bob, I'm trying to assemble boxes the way you do. Hammering the top and bottom ones on the short side and then the siding nailer for the rest. I have the exact nails but a different gun(I already had one). I get lots of blowouts. Is that something you guys struggle with? Is it really my gun being that much less accurate then the one you use? Did you try different siding guns before finding on that shoots the best? I'm also using southern yellow pine, precut box joint boxes, not sure if thats part of the problem? It's very frustrating and I'd like to figure out why. It's such a fast why to assemble boxes (when it works) that I'd like to figure this out. I'd hate to drop all the money on a new nail gun just to have the same issue. Curious if you have any insight that may help me. Thanks
We don't have too much trouble with white pine, a bit more with cypress and a bit more than that with yellow pine which we don't use anymore because of eventual warpage. We've settled on Metabo nail guns which seem to be better than the Grip Rite guns we have been using. Hope this helps.
@@bobbinnie9872 yah I switched to the yellow pine a few yrs ago bc the Mann lake stuff wld rot in less then 2 yrs. Florida humidity is no joke! I also wasn't wax dipping then. Thankfully I haven't noticed too much warpage but I'm sure they will if that was your experience. Of course the metabo ones are more pricey lol. But less frustration may be worth it
@@bobbinnie9872 ok I went and ponied up for the metabo, man did that hurt. But after the first 5 boxes, it's doing a whole lot better then my old gun. Thanks as always for the advice!
Some of our boxes are cypress which has come from several sources over the years and some are pine. The majority of the pine boxes are from Mann Lake but there are many good pine box producers out there. We generally buy commercial grade.
Mr Binnie, really enjoyed the video. I have just one problem. At 5:25 you showed a plastic queen excluder being put on a divider board. This is the same method I use but my plastic excluders always crack or split when stapled. I saw this and sat up and thought - oh boy here comes the solution to my problem! But then you didn't show how you attach it. Take care
We've been doing this for a while and have not had a problem with that. Perhaps it's the excluders and stales we're using. For this application we like to use Dadant plastic excluders and T-50 staples which have a 1/2 inch crown.
@@bobbinnie9872 exactly what I'm using. My t-50 stapler is a manual one. Not sure if that matters. The excluder is still usable, just a bit unsightly. Thanks for responding.
We get a little of that, but not enough for me me to be concerned enough to do anything special. Except for very small colonies we do leave our entrances wide open which may be helping.
Can I have those jackets? I have one and it’s really bad. I am a tailor by trade and I can fix it. Love your videos, very educational indeed. Thanks so very much. Hoppy holidays guys.
Привет из России.я то же пчеловод.хочу вас поблагодарить за познавательный материал.единственная просьба быстро титры идут у вас, читать не успеваю...помедленней пожалйуста. добра и здоровья вам.
"i cant get a crane truck into most my yards" proceeds to show every yard clearly capable of having Ians truck in there.... Bob, is it really not that big of an advantage?
This type of comment has been made a few times and I guess it seems confusing to some. I wish you could come along with us tonight to move bees. It would then make more sense. We're moving one yard that is frequently shown in our videos, that is on flat ground, to a spot where the truck has to be parked on an incline where it would be difficult to use a boom truck because I don't think it could self level enough. But a forklift will work fine. I would say that a number of yards shown in our videos couldn't use a boom truck because of the trees or incline. Also, we currently have 43 yards and many of them have not been seen. Something else to consider is that up until very recently we moved a lot of bees a fair distance. I'm thinking of moving a couple of the yards shown in this video 4 hours south as soon as the oxalic treatments are finished and we'll use a couple of trucks and one forklift for that. A boom truck wouldn't be very efficient. So, could I benefit from having a boom truck? I'm sure the answer is yes. Do I want to put some of my bees on two way pallets, pull honey with it in some yards but not others, and invest the money for its limited use in my outfit? Probably not.
@@bobbinnie9872 this was the answer I needed! Thank you! Things weren’t adding up in my head, the need for 2 ways pallet seems like the killer. Thanks for your time again Bob, I really appreciate all you do!

We only got around twice with OA this fall, if I could only hit them again in the shed!
Three may be overkill but I'm worried about small amounts of brood being present. Looking forward to seeing you in January.
According to Randy’s mite treatment graph, three times is the charm. But exactly yea, can’t have brood
