- Join me on an exciting beekeeping adventure as I meticulously inspect my entire apiary, hoping to capture the elusive beauty of just one frame adorned with golden, capped honey. 🍯
In this video, witness the fascinating world of beekeeping as I navigate through a hive in the midst of a swarm, experience the challenges of managing a robust and occasionally feisty colony, and explore hives recovering from nectar scarcity. 🐝
From the tranquil hum of a thriving hive to the intense buzz of a massive and determined colony, this video encapsulates the diverse experiences of beekeeping. Stay tuned for a close-up look at the sweet reward-a single frame showcasing the culmination of the bees' hard work in the form of capped honey. 🌼

I feel for you. I'm in the Perth (hills), and rely on the Marri for my nectar. It also seems to come in two year cycles. Last year only got 16kg. This year 80kg. I'm in it for the Love, because sometimes it is so frustrating. As the season comes to an end, I wish you well.
I thought when a colony swarms the old queen leaves just before the new queens start to hatch. Could you have an emergency or supersedure going on? Just a thought.
Hi. After a terrible spring I had great expectations for a good summer, should the sun finally arrive, But I was once again let down by the weather ( overcast ) and the seasons, and although I badly wanted some spring honey my hopes were dashed, In Dec I was still adding boxes because they appeared to be filling the boxes well, then the overcast stayed, we had blossoms galore but with little nectar and upon inspection in Jan I decided to reduce them to three full deeps, I replaced poor frames with some with patchy honey from the top boxes, and decided to crush and strain anything left after the reduction. From five good working hives I only got around 15 litres from some very patchy frames, only around 5 or 6 full ones, The hives are now back to three box configuration and we well and truly in dearth. Counting on some autumn weeds to set them up for the winter but not hopeful, so I am buying up sugar and wholemeal soy flour and preparing for a long winter again, four miserable years in a row. Keep smiling buddy, I don't know what your bees are on at this time of the year but ya gotta make hay while the sun shines.
And I thought I was doing it tough.
Feeding is the worst. It just feels so ridiculous. Have you seen that product Agrisea? A seaweed additive for feed? People rave about it here and I have had some positive results from using it.
Hope it’s an easy winter for you.
@@aussiebeekeepingThanks, I was trying to point out that there has been a serious season shift where I am I have in my long life never seen so much overcast, the past few years I have had to leave any honey on the bees. This year I have managed to get a taste at least but the total output so far is much less than my old output from each hive. But you have to look on the bright side at least they are surviving.
The go pro is black I don't think bees like black very much .
If you want better honey you need happier, healthier bees. You move too fast and need to make slower movements, make less noise, and not use a loud vaccuum with them. In some of your videos i see you put the hives of comb on the ground, this can contaminate your honey and possibly spread disease. When you disorient the bees by tearing into the hive you need to be mindful of how you're going about it to get the best results :) if you get bad tasting honey it could be that it's contaminated or there's just too much moisture in the hive. You can do this by making holes on the bottom so debris can also fall through when the bees tidy up all the time. Also, making a vent at the top of the hives can prevent them from overheating and making your honey go bad.
That looks great. Hopefully my girl's here in Central Vic get a good flow soon.
🤞

Thank you for sharing!!! I'm so glad that you didn't give up!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Me too!!
I'm glad to see things are coming together, you have had a hard go of it the last new years. Thanks for sharing your time, I really enjoy your videos.
awesome! :) so good your colonies are doing so well now. Told ya it was turning around 👍
Great to see, hope the rest of your season is successful, cheers from NZ
The question a lot of us now have is what to do with all that honey
Some big beekeeping concerns in New Zealand sell it to the honey company Comvita. Very strigent requirements and testing is needed.
Congratulations on the honey frame
Thank you!
So glad to see your 🍯🐝 are progressing nicely this year. Hope you're able to get some more honey this season. Great work!
That’s Great, makes all the effort worth while.
I wish you many many more frames of honey over the next years.
Congratulations the girls are looking great, enjoy your honey frame
Thanks for the vids, mate. Any opinion on pulling the QE back a bit (1 1/2") to allow free movement of drones between boxes, so as not to clog spaces for the workers. I used this method with my hives for many years.
At the end you had 2 frames of brood that you took out to make room in the bottom of a hive that was full. Maybe next time you can add the extra brood to one of your smaller/struggling hives to help them build up numbers.
Maybe
I was once again let down by the weather and the seasons
and although I badly wanted some spring honey my hopes were dashed
I hope next season is better for you.
@@aussiebeekeeping Thank's
Really glad for you. Nice to see.
How do you deal with ant invasion??
Aw nice and easy to see the lady of the roost, did you mark the queen with a pink dot she was really easy to see
wheres the queen are u looking for her?
💯👍🤝💪💪💪🇺🇦
Beautiful, I enjoyed watching this!
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Beautiful video. So happy about the honey frame
Us too!
Looks like killer bees! Yikes!!!
Not even angry.
Great to see that they are doing well. 13 degrees is pretty cool. 27 degrees up here in Qld at 8 in the morning. No wonder your girls find it tough.
This is the first Australian hive opening thanks for sharing
Looking so good.
Truly fascinating!
💛🖤💛🖤
Love the video. Especially like the frame face close ups. This old Texas boy wishes you all the best you can handle.👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Watching your channel is part of my on going therapy. (Forcing myself to deal with the fear after a neighbor's aggressive hive attacked me) Your calm voice, command of knowledge, and love for your bee's has helped tremendously. I'm glad you are finally seeing an up tick in production. Thanks again!
Sorry to hear you had an experience like that. So very glad I can contribute to your recovery in any way.
Aw I want to thank you fore what you said when you said it was 30° C and then converted it to 55°F that helps us out here in the USA since we go by Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
Thank you Thank you.....
