Hi😃👋 trade you for weather, we have yet another southerly storm but I got too move some bee's into the thyme migration apairy today so the cooler temperature is helpful for that. Spring in southern New Zealand is definitely being springy😂 not a criticism, just a observation, you might find it easier to pull the sidewall frame out when you're in the bees and give yourselves some working room, personally I pull two frames from the sidewall so I don't roll the queen by accident and I'm not rolling bee's when I put the frames back in. Most beekeepers just pull one out, I just noticed you seem to be having a little trouble manipulating your frame grabber but I've never used one I'm old school 😂 good moves checking the entrances first as part of your inspection, looking at what's going on in the front can tell you a lot about what is going on inside, it's a good habit to cultivate and you identified a problem 👍 we have a related spider to black widows in New Zealand called the katipo, actually it's the only poisonous insect we have but ours love the underneath of floors to set up shop😂😅 hope your mite count goes well in a couple of weeks 😃👍
Yes. Please start blowing that wind this way. Lol. You noticed how slow my husband is at inspecting? Personally, I use the J hook to loosen propolized frames but I’ve learned to let him do his thing.
@@thebeesmeads 😅 I wouldn't say slow I'd say methodical 😂 no, I just noticed that he seemed to have a little trouble lifting the frames out but maybe it's using the frame grabber, I've never used one myself so I don't know what it's like to lift a frame with one
The bees are looking great
