I love that hive… did you have any issues with water ingress? I see Lawrence from BMH has had to seal his hive somewhere?

First pls pin Also love ur content 😊

I love this hive 👍🏻🐝❤️

Cheers for the updates, the virgins can be tricky to spot, just hope weather keeps good for mating flights. Sorry cell failed, but worth a try. Its good that you have resources, so you can give the needy colonies a helping hand. Enjoy your vids, thanks so much.

What are you? An astronaut?

Nice work buddy… get ready for all those colonies to explode soon. Keep up the good work 🐝🐝🐝

Sounds like a great day, its always good to talk to others about things you are passionate about.

Hi Mark, thank you so much for the experience! I was the girl who was way too excited about wearing a fetching bee suit. You were really insightful, interesting and hilarious. Hoping to come over to you to have another bee experience. Thanks again, and happy bee day!

How do you know if one is stronger than another?

Thanks for that, good luck with the cells. I take it that you had taken the original queens away for splits? Do you keep your splits in same apiary, or are you lucky to have a second one? Ta. Have a good week.

That was a lot of queen cells

A very prolific queen. Will you do a split from this colony, they are building up quickly? Ta for the this update.

Yes the beauty of this is I can make the splits in the same hive

With this decent spell in the weather, they will flourish, do you plan to do a few splits once they have built up? Always worth having a few spare nucs next spring, I am sure you could sell a few! 😊

Always helpful to see when a colony has not thrived as this is a reality of beekeeping. Quite a lot if bees there, did the original queen fail quite recently? Did it become drone laying colony, which i know are hard to resolve? Ta for posting😊

Thanks for that. Look forward to the updates. Did the hive come already assembled, it looks great?

Need a bigger garden mate

Beautiful

This garden is absolutely amazing! Bees are nice 🙂

"Its my dream,i have goosebumps." Chris, you need to get out more! 😂 It is great though! 👍🏻

That's called a standing climax.

Nice work sir 👍🏻🐝

Nice one mate … good luck 🤞🏻

Nice video… look forward to the Queen introduction video

I admire your optimism but I'd have shook that out and called it a day with them.

Its good you have the two decent nucs, i expext you can do a split or two from them (either buy in a mated queen or utilise queen cell) From my limited experience it's probably not worth spending too much time or resources on a failing colony. Keep us updated and have subscribed.😊 😊

I would Pop in a frame of eggs and treat with ox dribble and feed.

What do you do? I think colonies with drone laying queens are basically finished and the best thing to do is to move the box away and shake the bees off the frames into the air. The bees will then move into your other colonies. However, you could put your good frame into a nuc box (after shaking the bees off) and put the nuc box where your brood box is now. Then shake the bees in the air and let them fly back to the nuc box. (with a feeder with feed on) If they haven't made a queen cell on your introduced frame they think they still have a queen. If you shake the bees off the frames 12 feet away any queen that is there won't find her way back - but the flying bees will. Then after a few days you could put in a frame with eggs. A good brood brake will also reduce the mite problem that are vectoring the deformed wing virus. Of course, if you had one, a frame with a queen cell on placed in the nuc box for the flying bees to return home to would be ideal.

Yes pal 100%

New queen inbound 🫅

I ❤ this ,,hope u got ur queen 😊
