It's good they were all rescued. I wonder what caused the sinking? It's good they were not too far from land or out in rough water.

The bees supercede weak or poorly mated queens all the time and there is already new genetics in a hive thanks to the drone's input so before you replace a queen have a good look at what you require, placid bees are not too good at warding off varoa, and seem prone to diseases.

Hello Ian We must remember that when the sun does not shine the flowers don't produce nectar, they still produce a little pollen but it requires sun for nectar, overcast or showers through spring like we have had for a few years in my area means that the bees must be moved elsewhere, or you will end up feeding them. You can always bring them back when the weather improves.

thanks for the video Ian, I find the bees fascinating

Привет , спасибо за видео , увидеть жизнь пчёл, удивительный мир , природа дарит все , познавательно , благодарю !!Заниматься пчелами для избранных!, это призвание,любовь к природе и внутренняя сила духа.всех благ вам!Берегите себя))

Awesome videos Ian, plenty of info and tips. Glad you put me on to it gives me something to binge. On this long. weekend and looking forward to new ones, cheers Mark

The leech was exciting. What was the grass-like plants you put in the stumps?

The wildlife will appreciate all your hard work.

Great video of the wonderful work raising the butterflies and researching them.

Nice job. Thank you

Might of been interesting to see inside the caves I stead of looking g at them roofs😮 won't be watching any more first and last from you

Nice and casual, I love,

Tôi nghĩ sau khi làm xong vài lần nó sẽ khó làm sạch

Great video. I'm in Tasmania where tree ferns rule the riversides.

I use a 5 gallon paint strainer bag inside to prestrain the wax and honey and it keeps the interior if the metal strainer cleaner..

where can we buy your honey?

Nice video. Some great fish and especially the tiger. I'm keen to find a tiger trout.

Hi Ian, I have never added vegemite or any other lure ever, my SHB traps still catch them though. Just one point I must say to you, be aware of how much oil you pour into the SHB traps, I was told the oil is detrimental to the girls (I don't know how) I only fill to half and that way it does not spill when I'm inserting trap. Bee happy :) Mark

I went back and looked at your previous video. When you showed the frame up close, I was pretty sure I saw eggs. Glad to see you back making videos. I hope your blood work returns showing you aren't severely allergic after all. We had you on the prayer list at Gunline Bees. Maybe God intervened.

Definitely a repeat from yesterday

where do you get a honey press like this?

Am I early?????

Numbers looked good; I think you only just lost her? I would suggest taking a frame of brood from your other hive so as you will have continued girls taking care of new created queen. You will lose production time of course, around a month till she is mated and laying. On another point, with the burr comb in the lid, why don't you add a super as they seem to be running out of room in bottom box? I still have some mating for you, remind me before next meeting :)

Hi Ian, you are definitely dedicated to the cause 😍

love the footage. we use several bowls around our yard, two are favoured the most by the birds. At the moment we are using our camera to see who is visiting our back verandah at night.......ringtail possum(s) and a brushtail have been seen so far

Great video What depth do you think is optimal for your dropper rigs?

wow

wow and good job sir

Bring on 2024

definitely get yourself a couple of hive mats, I just cut up vinyl flooring that has a felt base, works a treat.

Also, I generally take a few stings while extracting. Do you have a plan for that?

I can't understand why your lids have that space. Bees will always fill space with comb. It seems to be an Australian thing.

Thanks, thinking of throwing a ball of worms in too :)

Feel for you Ian, hope to see you at our Christmas Meeting.

Sorry about that mate. That's an awful thing to happen to a beekeeper. I hope you are able to continue but be careful for sure. I have epi-pens in my kit. Praise God I havent had to use them.

Wow, having that many bee stings in such a short time.... I reacted badly to one! By the way loved the cows at the end if I'm not mistaken Jerseys' so beautiful

We moved two tree ferns a week ago, following your instructions. (Cape Town, South Africa) One has not even noticed it has been moved ! The otger one niw has 3 dead branches. BUT my question is, the dead leaves smells strongly like fish / fishy. Is that normal ? Or have we just not noticed it before ?

Fuck the fisheries there a pain in the arse

May I suggest ? - place one of those filter bags inside your collection bucket - that way you only need to lift the bag out and place it into the honey press when you are done collecting for the season - when you have completed the pressing, you lift the bag out with all the wax castings and other debris and it will also keep the wax from squeezing through the metal sieve - once you feel resistance, walk away for about 20-30 minutes, then continue with more pressing - let more of the honey drain from the castings and combs and you will get a bit more out of the wax.

Great idea usually i fish with split shot sinkers next to the jig however the snags are always there your idea is fantastic thanks.Cheers Phil

Hi Ian, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you're going to be planting for Australian butterflies. I live in the mildest area of the UK, Cornwall, and we're able to grow a lot of Australian and NZ species here very well. I'm always on the lookout for new species to try (with an emphasis on bees and butterflies) so I'm glad I found this channel. Does Yvonne's Butterfly Grden also have a channel or internet page somewhere?

Can't wait to see the butterfly garden in full swing.

Love that tip of removing the squid jig weight. Do you ever run a double squid jig paternoster style set up?

Great video! Just subscribed. I'm new to boating and boat fishing. I've spent years fishing mornington peir with little to no luck so I'm really excited to get out on the water and catch some squid 😊

That worked great. Can you tell me the main active ingredient in this powder? We have several different powders to choose from in the US.

🙌😍wow this place to live ! Is a big dream for me 😊wow great .....thank you 👋

Wow, I didn't know Australia had land leeches. Glad I missed them when I was there!

Are you putting the crown board directly on top of the frames? I put mine on the rim of the box which gives the bee's room to go over the top of the frames which might help with the ventilation and stop the moisture Just a suggestion from what I saw on the video, forgive me if I am wrong
