Nice!
Very useful equipment and information by the beekeeper ❤️
Now that is some kind of setup, wish I'd had that the other day I was trying to corral a swarm. Gonna have to make me one of those.
Chúng ta có thêm một cách bắt ong mới. Có thể tận dụng nhiều thứ để bắt ong
Fantastic setup! More videos Randall.
Wow, that was a really interesting demonstration. I'm really interested to know why you were clearly sure the queen was mated? There must be some chance she was not the original mother queen from that colony off a prime swarm. Is there no chance it was a cast?
I had to rewatch video since it was over a year ago. In this case the swarm came from the colony i pointed out. Nothing is 100% in beekeeping but being the size if the swarm and it was wintered in that medium and deep that i believe i had rotated a few weeks earlier the odds of it being the queen from previous year is better than 95%. If it was an after swarm with a virgin queen it would have been much smaller.
I wish I had found this yesterday! Broke my pole twice, trying to catch a swarm because of the weight of the bucket. Great video!
Thank you. This set up is a game changer for catching swarms. I have a subscriber that will stand in his be yard whil swarm is issueing and he stands pole up with swarm commander on can and swarms will settle on it. He has caught about 5 this way.
@@randallcarter-carterhillho2277 wow!
@randallcarter-carterhillho2277 so the swarm I caught and put in the hive left and went back into the tree. So I used this idea the next time. They are now safe and at my house. One question, it was easier to get them, but it was much harder to get them out. They clung to the mesh. Any suggestions?
Randall where you been? Enjoyed your videos! Hoping for more in the future.
Thank you over last couple years i got burned out and i am downsizing. I am thinking about doing some videos in the near future.
Miss your videos. Hope to see you return
Thank you, i am in the process of downsizing. I got burned out last year and year before. I am thinking about doing some videos in near future.
I was a bit dubious at first but after seeing how good the bees were in your catcher i must admit its simplicity in design makes it truly genius. The bees dont get agrivated because they stay in a neat little ball. Have seen some bee keepers use a veiled straw hat on low hanging limbs in the past and that worked very well too so I should not have been a doubter. Sorry about that. Great video too. Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
what is the width and height of your mesh can please?
There is only the one size can It is apx 12" in diameter and about 14" tall. You can get them online or menards.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this. Very good video. Something I’ll be investing in.
Bag/Zip ties would work well to fasten the handle on... Great Video . Thanks.
Where did you get the pole?
Home depot. Any hardware store should have them in paint section.
Would have better video if your head was not blocking view
Randell: I’m in central Alabama, at Leeds/Moody area. When should I be putting my honey supers on my hives? I always struggle when I should be putting them on my hives. Do you put your supers on a certain week of the year? Thank You Kenny
Drawn combs i start putting on in early march. For you that might be roughly feb 20th as you will be a good 2 weeks ahead of me in spring build up. allow broodnest to expand up thru 2.5 mediums.(i run single deeps.) Then in early april i shake bees down to first medium, move all brood as low as possible in mediums, and add queen excluder. If timed properly it should eliminate 90% of swarming and makes much bigger honey crops if you do not want to take early splits. If you take splits that is fine but yiu will not get as much honey. Foundations i do not add til last week of april, check weekly and add more as needed. By june 10th foundation drawing with natural nectar will be over. There needs to be heavy nectar flow for them to get drawn.
Genuis. Best video yet on catching swarms high in a tree.
Nice work! I'm a big fan of things that make work safer, and not having to climb a ladder for a high swarm is a major improvement!
Thank you
No more plastic buckets for me
What a great swarm catching system. Thanks VERY much!
Thank you.
Hope to see some more videos soon!!!
Awesome! Thank you.
What is the size of your honey house please
12x20. As i started harvesting over 200 gallons of honey the size became more of a challenge to work in requiring alot of double moving equipment.
thank you for the ideas!
Excellent!
Haven't seen a video in a while. Just checking on you. Hope all is going good for you. I really enjoy your style of beekeeping. Good luck, Merry Christmas, and have a great New Year.
Thank you for asking, all is fine here. I have decided to scale back my beekeeping to much smaller operation. I will do some videos after holidays. I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.
@@randallcarter-carterhillho2277 Glad to hear. Always good to see your videos. Thanks.
Glad all is good with you. Hope to see you resume your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Love this! Such a great piece of ingenuity!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
tanks
Nothing in bee keeplng is more exciting than queens coming home. Good luck.
Looks like a good technique. Where did you buy the pole?
Local hardware store in the paint section.
I would have put the box on the trailer so it's higher............Z
How do you minimize the amount of bees you take away form the bee yard when you pull boxes? Do you also have another trick for the ones that end up in your honey warming shed?
I use fume board and blow out with gas powered leaf blower. In the warming room the bees usually gather near a window or light source. I vacuum them up with small hand held cordless vacuum and release outside.
Thanks for the response... Love your honey house setup... Keep up the great work!!
Very helpful. I didn’t know this trick.
excellent
Wow! You can HEAR the difference as the bees returned to the bucket!
Finally- finally some ingenuity. I’ve been watching these bee removal videos for one week now, first person to utilize creativity. I think when e hit the limb, the bees dropped a small amount of distance. The mesh provides familiarity. They don’t even know what happened. As long as the queen stays in there he’s good to go.
I bet the mesh feels a bit like comb
Nice video thanks for sharing👍🏻
Thank you.
Great video Randall. Your videos and advice have helped me tremendously. Thank you
Thank you. I am glad and thanks for feedback.
Randall, The last double deep nuc… where did you find the double screen board or did you have to make it? I enjoy the knowledge you share, thank you.
They are home made. A friend of mine made them.
Looking pretty good there, Randall. I enjoy the summer for the beekeeping videos. I forget if I asked you already (if I have please ignore it, LOL) but have you caught many swarms this year? I like your "Scoop and Score" method, nice invention. Anyway, thank you for the update!
Thank you. I caught only 4 swarms total. I did a video on each one.
Get to catching. They gonna fly off
I may have to try that! May have my first swarm tomorrow on the side of a shed
Put a half a teaspoon of bleach per gallon, it will slow down the fermentation
I do, it works great.
Great tip! Thanks!
I put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the syrup to help stop the fermentation and its good for the bees.
I recently heard of using a.c.v. I will have to try that.
Good video Randell I do the same with my feeders . Have you ever tried bleach in your syrup. Stay cool . Thanks
Thanks, I put bleach in almost all of the syrup I make.
I never thought about the problems with the lemon grass scent in the hive causing robbing--good tip. I think it's cool you raised your own queens--I've watched a few videos about it and it seems a bit challenging, so good show! We've had fairly good rains this year but there's still not much blooming now, until the late summer stuff starts blooming. I bet bee keepers around here are having to feed as well. Thanks, Randall!
I'd say that's a smart move not shaking them out .. I just lost bunch of nice virgins . This year I started the mini frames over strong colony and gave them virgins in cages . I left them caged 24 hours normally plenty. Nope they killed the virgins made cells. Ones I started with cells I think everything got mated good in those
Wow, great mating success! Almost 100%!! Great job, making serious increases.
Thank you mike. This graft was a game changer fo me after my early struggles.
