Hi Tim. Your videos are great. I always like to see. A question: in multiplications do you never look for real cells or virgin queens? Regards from Brasil.
The hive at that time died and i end up cleaning everything and splitting the first hive in 2 again. I have no idea why the hive died but as i live in suburbia, i split the hives back after 8 month and it was all healthy and ready to split. I Noticed that in suburbia the bees collect an abundance of nectar due to the flowers around the houses
Hi Tim. Thankyou for the video .Could splitting the Austroplebeia australis be done the same way, if not will you be doing a video on how to split this species Thankyou Mick
Hi Tim I have 2 hives one is almost 2 years old and the second is about 15 month old I have not split them yet should i split them at that age? The second hive for the last 6 days i noticed that there is no bees sitting at the entrance hole and it seems that there is no activity at the entrance i hope that this hive is not dead i am planning to open it this weekend to check it If it is dead and empty, can i split the other hive and put it on the dead one with keeping everything inside such as eggs and honey and let the newly split bees continue the work? Or i have to clean the dead hive from everything and let the newly split bees rebuild everything from scratch? Regards and thanks Alain
Very good Tim 🐝🐝🐝
Thank you Tim, your video is so clear and simple : )
Great video ! Surprised to see such small stingless bees (compared to our european bees) producing so much in Australia ! Thanks again.

Hi, how long does it take to be matured to be split?
6-12 months or approximately 1.5kg of contents

Hi Alain, I have the same problem you have, did you solve your problem? How did you do it?, Thanks a lot for your help.
The comment was 6 years ago so I take it u probably already did the thing. No do not put a old hive with a new how if it’s mouldy infected.
