Very similar to the Old Castle Farm poly nuc. I found these to be a little less expensive at £55 ( 2024 price )

That was great and love the black cat, such a stunner!

Surprised you don’t have more views and comments from new beekeepers. New beekeepers …take this guys advice and ask questions.

Thank u i was cryin i was gettin so upset mine didnt come with directions thank u so much simon

Oh my goodness, you are the first person I’ve heard mention woodpeckers! We have lots here, I’m going to get some chicken wire tomorrow! I never gave woodpeckers a thought, thanks for the heads up!

Interesting.

Thanks Simon , finally someone that shows what hefting is. I love the service you provide and have bought all 4 hives and acc from you. Best Grant

Great video, thank you. Do you insulate the exterior of the cedar hive?

Hi. Where u located....

Thank you very much for telling me how they work and when and how to do them. Much appreciated! I have SUBSCRIBED…

Thank you, Simon, for this great video! We are the producers of Apivar and appreciate educational videos like yours that highlight our products. Thank you for helping to spread good practices! Here’s an additional piece of information worth sharing: The higher the amount of brood, the longer you need to leave the strips in the hive, up to a maximum of 10 weeks. For maximum efficacy, you can also scrape the strips with a hive tool at mid-treatment to remove wax and propolis and reposition them in the center of the brood if the bee cluster has moved. We also want to emphasize the importance of conducting mite counts before and after treatment. Even if your mite treatment is over 95% effective, you can still have a significant number of mites remaining post-treatment if the initial infestation was very high. In such cases, a winter treatment during the brood break is always beneficial. Have a great day!

I like that idea of putting something up through the top to put it where it best goes among the bees. Thanks - much appreciated! I have SUBSCRIBED!!!

Outstanding video Simon very informative without the waffle . Just bought myself my first hive and will be following your future videos

I actually have success by doing this slightly differently. I take the honey crop off late August and then make loads of splits with new mated queens. The winter losses are very low and I set a few aside to sell (April/May) and then the others I pop into a full size hive to become a production hives. Then we do it all over again, seems to work quite well and turn a small profit from a ‘hobby’. Great when the bees can pay towards their expensive up-keep 😉

Thanks Simon . You are a good old boy . Bought some equipment from Kevin recently . What a pleasure .

The most unprofessional customer service I've interacted with.

Have you found at all that the bees try to channel through the polystyrene at the joints? (Between supers or brood box? Trying to create an exit

Hi Simon,love your videos great equipment. So I ordered a poly super a couple of excluders, good products but I have a slight problem in that the two round veils ,one I gave one as a gift and the one I now have worked out how to attach(thanks to your vid)but my problem is the suit that I own, well it's a metal single zip, and will not no matter how hard I've tried ,will not zip on to veil because it is a plastic zipper. So any suggestions or solutions, because I cannot get with the fencing style veil they mess with my peripheral vision😢 many thanks, Anthony 🙏🐝🧿

Hi. Ive checked the size. Im usually a 3 or 4xl but im very short. Would the length be an issue?

Why they don’t do their own super I don’t know ?

Very good info simon..😊
