Happy Bees make happy neighbors (and lots of honey)
Excellent clear instructions. Perhaps leave out the directed digs. Other than that your content is better than most of what I have seen and I would like to congratulate you for making a set of beekeeping videos with a suit on, as opposed to the split video lady with short shorts , bare feet and halter top, or the inspection video where the lady was wearing a skirt. In your suit I have confidence you covered your flowing curls so the bees don’t get trapped in them (it makes them furiously angry). I also appreciate that your voice isn’t computer generated. Good work, Bill!
Thank you for your input. We try to tell people to wear their productive gear. It's just not worth an eye.
I'm trying this today. Wish me luck!
Yiou got this !
@@billgibson5338 Thanks Bill! I just had my first harvest of honey. Thanks to you and alot of RUclips videos!
Bill--great vid! Do you also sell the correct paint for Hive IQ? Is a special type of paint or the same as for wood??
2 coats exterior paint water base can be picked up at any home center store.
Bill, Even us who have been at it 🐝 for a while can learn things from your easy and clear descriptions of what you are doing. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
love you bees all the nucs are booming thanks for your wisdom oh wise BEE MASTER
You bet
Wow, bees AND rattlesnakes??? Hell. No. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can do bees OR rattlesnakes, but not both at the same time!
❤ saya sangat menyukai lebah 🐝
Great love these
I didn't know that you could keep the mite treatment on there when you have the honey super on. Do you treat for mite all year?
The correct mite treatment can go into a hive when honey supers are on. We only treat when necessary.
Bill when will you pull that Apivar strip?
day 47
Do you remove bees from backyards by chance?
In 3 days they consumed a pint of syrup AND a strip of pollen patty. Is that normal? Can't find queen. When to add honey super? Excluded or no?
I have had trouble spotting the queen as well!, I am going to try and do another deep check today
Love it. I need more on finding the unmarked queen! And how to know when to stop feeding.
Please check out youtube videos, We have a video where we look for queens and mark them. Feed until your first box is full of bees.
Ok, this is more like what my hive looks like--BEES…EVERYWHERE The smoke moves them for about 30 seconds and then they flood back on top of the frames (and all over my hands) like a little tidal wave 😂 I’ve got 2 deep brood boxes and 1 super. They’ve finally drawn comb on all 10 frames of the bottom deep, as well as on 8 frames of the 2nd deep and 5 frames of the super. I got my queen from you last Oct so I think she’s a Randy Oliver queen? But dang is she a prolific layer! It’s just BEEEEEES EVERYWHERE!!! No queen cells since I added the 2nd brood box. Do I need to add a 3rd at some point???
I called and asked. (I’m new), it’s totally preference, but depending on how many bees you want as to how many boxes you give the queen to lay in. For me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to lift a deep that is full, so I have the bottom deep, and adding a super. A full gram of brood will be 2.5 frames of bees in a few days. So that helps you know WHEN to add another box if you want that queen to lay in all those boxes. I’m going to add an excluder after the deep and 1 super. That should keep her with space to lay. And the supers above the excluder will allow others to go make me honey. 😜. Good luck!!
Thanks for the tutorial. Visuals are truly helpful.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻So helpful!!
Great instructional video. So many bee boxes fail but with your common sense approach this should help many beekeepers!!Thanks
Thank you for the excellent reporting, education, and video.
Serious question? Why not just dispatch the hive and get rid of nasty genetics all together?
Love OC Beekeeping!
Love how calm the bees are when you check them. Although my hive was at this stage about 6 months ago, it’s still really useful to see your inspections as it confirms that my hive has progressed exactly on schedule 👍 Now that my hive has exploded in size, I’d really like to see you inspect a bigger hive that has more resources to protect and is a bit more challenging to inspect. Like where the bees are crawling all over everything and Queenie is diving two boxes down the minute I take the cover off (the little beast!) 😂Need some Pro Tips for my Grown Up Sassy Ladies! Thanks!
Please feel free to look at our other Vidoes where we do inspect bigger hives. I will also film a hive next time where we have 30 frames of bees and we are placing hiney supers on top. Thanks for your request
Perfect! 30 frames of bees sounds great 👍
I have added my second box. When doing the hive check, do I have to view the bottom box 1st? Or does it matter?
2nd is fine
Loved it
Another informative video. Thank you.
Thank you
Excellent work. Great pro tips. My only questions: Who was Gary and how many queens did he cost you? :)
What genius decided that it was a good idea to give bees like that to a brand new beekeeper?!?!?
Well, it was a bee club member who continues to places "rescue" bees into people's yards. She has no idea of the dangers involved in placing these AHB into someones backyard especially when those receiving the bees have no beekeeping skills. We now PCR test the bees when we get calls like this, and every other swarm we come across. That way we know if the they are Africanized Honey Bees or not. No more guessing.
Great videos Bill!! This Virginie + Jason here🌱
Thanks 👍
Thank you again I love these updates.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Bill… looking forward to getting our two nucs! Also need a bee suit. May 18th. Thanks for the great info for the beginner like me!
Always glad to help
Your bees are very well behaved-they know to not mess with the Bee Master. My bees, on the other hand, are completely psycho this month 😂 They laugh at smoke, they cross comb wherever they please. I swear they’re completely rabid right now!
Maybe it's time to re-qeen.
“Which color dot are they born with?” 😂😂😂 That’s hilarious 🤦🏻♀️
I do get that question often.
Thank you again. Geoff thought I was checking the hive too much, doing it once a week. Last time check I had three queen cups and was wondering about the larger drone cells. Now I know if it hangs get rid of it.
Once a week is not too often in spring. If you wait 14-16 days you could be too late, with the old queen swarming and new queens emerging.
Glad to help
I'm glad you did an update. So good
Glad to. We will continue with the updates.
Love your videos. Thank you. This is stina and Geoff. We brought you the plantain. Hello
Thank you!
I am pleased to offer you at effective beekeeping job.I'll impressed with your qualifications, experience, and the enthusiasm you displayed during the interview process.
If you offer health insurance, I'm in!
How are you liking that feeder? I ordered one them yesterday!
It's important to monitor and adjust the amount of syrup in the feeder to prevent potential issues like fermentation and intoxication for the bees. Proper management is key to ensuring the feeder functions effectively in providing food for the hive. Knowing that, thus works very well. Motherload is the best that I have found.
Lots of fun to see two young beekeepers in action! Great work on their part.
Glad you enjoyed it
They did amazing! I love watching your boys work the bees.
Us too!
Awesome to see the new generation of Beekeepers, great job boys 🐝
Also love the calmness of the bees with rain and cold Good job Boys
GREAT! LITTLE BEE KEEPERS. AS ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE VIDEOS AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE HIVE ON
I noticed you have your mite treatment on. When would be the best time to do a check? My hive is doing good, frames are filling up, I'm not feeding them, I didn't see any mites in the bottom tray before I removed it.
Hello Homesteders. That's great news. I would mite test 4x a year with the changing seasons. We mite test evey other month because we want to know what organic treatments really work. Spring for us is a very important time because the mites are under the brood capping. Fall is the very most important time. If we do not know our mite counts in Fall(going into Winter) and if they are high, the bees could die due to high viral loads. I wish you fun and honey with your bees. Thanks
Nice, make more 🐝 videos 😊
On the way
🐝 Hey. How cool 😎!This is quite an honor. Congrats boys. I like the new display booth. Lucky 🦜 says hello!
Hello to Lucky. Thank you
Amazing! What a great education for passerby's! Is this apiary exhibit going to stay at Centennial Farms?
Yes, it is!
The more Bees the Better. !
Awesome work Gavin and Grady - congratulations - Heather Barth
Thank you for the kind words.
Appreciate the videos! Helps to demystify handling/keeping bees. 🐝 Video request: how to mark the queen & best practices for the color used?
Thank you for your request. We will try to get to this as soon as we have unmarked queens.
Free bees can cost you or your neighbors life.
Been there , done that.
Thank you so much. I see you're just as good at the camera angle as I am. I bought a queen from you last month and she's laying eggs. I did my might check a month ago gonna do another one this weekend. Thank you so much for all your help.
That's great! Check or know if you will need to feed in the months to come. Have fun!
