Really enjoy your common sense explanations of bee activity. Very easy for beginners to understand. Thanks again.
Thank you
Not sure why it took so long for me to find your videos but they are certainly well done. Keep it up!
Thank you
If that was me being stung it would be hospital for treatment as I’m allergic to their sting, but would love to do what you do but would need sting proof armour ! LOL
A bee keeper knows when he can work with no suit or no gloves its about not sturing up the bees and you should be fine iv got hives I can go and do a wee job with out suiting up iv got three hives I want to re-queen but can't find the old unmarked queen iv got some queen cells and put them in the hives I hope the old girl don't find them .I'm hoping to start finding my queens soon im carrying a marker with me so if I do I can mark them and then its easy to find them
Also, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a Texas boy, so your climate is very much like my, which makes your video more informative to my situation. Thanks.
Yes y’all also know what heat and humidity feels like
we are dealing with a queen less hive enjoyed this video.
They can be a pain
Thought I'd share -Every time my bees have ever swarmed or tried to they built swarm cells on bottom 1st and then few days later started a few supercedure cells. I think they get in swarm mode and start swarm cells,then before they done Queens pheremone isn't strong no more because SO many bees they think queen is failing and start Supercedure cells.This is just my theory from what I've witnessed,but if big enough hive mine have done it this way Everytime.Nucs swarmed usually never build supercedure cells after swarm cells, I think cause pheremone still there and not too spread out..this just what I think is going on not sure if this what bees think
Not very much bees in that top deepbox. You can take that off and just put on the honey super. If you move that hive forward, so that it get more sun, your bees will populate much faster and then fill that honey be filled
Lourens Klopper except for that fact that the sun shines on this hive all day long.... it’s not shaded until late afternoon... hive faces south
Thank you. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge...
+Melanie Smit thank you
I heard painting with wax & then spraying with sugar water attracts them to the upper supers. My 1st year, so I haven't tried it yet.
If they don't move up into the next Super or another box for that matter... Take a few frames # out, from the Box with Bees, add them up top, and put those empty frames, back into those taken frame area(s).
That way bees get drawn up by the 'already used' frames associated nearby here fragrances of Wax, Honey !
Simples... 😏
Hope this helps.
Tip :
# Smaller Super, Mediums OK to add to deeper box (they will just drawn natural comb on it... No problem this comb, remove later.
If only Deep Frames with bees on ? Add another Deep Box, place Super Frames at either side, Deeps in the middle. When Supers are drawn out , have attracted enough Bees. Take these out. Remove deep Box, add Super Box, do as above (!) And... those other deeps, use in another Colony to build up population,, or to make a Split etc. (Check where your Queen is in doing so. ) 👀

How do you know if the queen cell is still being built, is waiting for an egg or if it has hatched out already?
Well unless I'm missing something he didn't really tell you what todo if queen sells hatch
Yes he did ... Cell hatched, Virgin Queen, is in the Hive (bees buzzing Queen is here, if not bees Roar more than buzz !) 🤭
If lots of QC's, then you will have lots of Swarming !!! Aka, you will lose more bees every time a Queen hatches... 🙄
just found your video...well done...could you or do you have one on making your own queens?? see lots on youtube but not right up to where the Queen is hatching or how it came to that point...again ..good job
F Lee will see what I can do
enough bees for one box.will take care of all problems
Do you have a video on how you build the hive boxes?
I don't build my own 10 frame boxes. I do build my nuc boxes, tops and bottom boards
Amazing how u don't wear protection, I be freaking out around 1 bee lol
With plastic frames i have see where bees simply can not draw it out cause theres not enough wax on them or big gaps between what they do draw out well ever paint a car with out sanding the original paint frist well if you do paint it with out sanding the paint will peel and chip off so point is that the plastic is so smooth that the wax peels off like paint on an unsanded. Paint job
At 4:00 right in the middle of the frame when you flip it over, is that a capped queen cell that was destroyed after the other queen hatched?
its a queen cell that looked to have been destroyed
+dfishman76 OK thanks.
I hear cotton crystallizes in the frame if you do not get it off in time. Have you had that issue? Ruins your comb, but it's good honey if you watch an pull it before that happens. Is that true?
I have heard the same thing but so far no issues
Enjoy your videos. Im a newbee. What should I do if the original queen is gone but there seems to be multiple queens and queen cells in the hive ?
If that’s the only hive you have I would leave them alone and hope that one of those queens hatched out and get mated and get the hive going again.
Thank you for watching
@@dfishman76 I have 2 hives. One is stronger than the other. The mutiple queens are in the weaker of the 2 hives. Thanks for replying
Ya I would give them a week or so and see how it goes. Once the queen hatched out your looking almost a week before she starts laying. If you have good enough weather for her to do mating flights. Keep me posted on how the hive is doing
@@dfishman76 I will. The rain here in Roanoke Va has really put a hurting on my hive activity
Your the headless beeman.
Need some updated info
Why didn’t you look through the bottom nuke?
You are very brave not wearing any protection! Don't you ever get stung? I don't go near my bees unless I am fully suited up.
+Erica Hockett I get stung all the time.
I am knew and why don't you want queen cells in your hive, apart from the waste of space arn't more queens good, are ma i totally wrong? And also what is a drone cell and can it be useful sorry to ask so much just need to learn, don't want to kill my first hive!
You try to give the bees enough room so they want try to swarm. The reason you don't want them to swarm is you never know if the queen that replaces the one that swarmed will be a good one or not. If you get a crappy queen then the hive will eventually die out because she will not lay enough eggs to keep the hive going or they will spend all their time trying to replace her. Drones can be a big drag on the hive. All they do is take from the hive. This is more of a problem in the fall than in the summer.
+dfishman76 Thankyou for your response, very helpful, definitely gonna watch more of your videos, keep it up!
+LukeWarmBeverage thank you. If you have anymore questions just let me know
dfishman76 Sorry, I'm a bit confused by this reply. You want to give them enough room, so they WANT to swarm. But you DON'T want them to swarm in case you get a crappy queen? Am I just not understanding your reply. Ps what was that really loud hissing noise? I thought you had snakes.
+Essem Sween if they swarm and you do not catch the swarm then your know good queen is gone. There is not guarantee that the queen that hatches out will be a good queen. Lots of games tots go into good queens
Got a question for you if you get a chance to answer. I picked up a nuc 5 frame this last week. When I transferred it to my hive I thought I saw queen cells but didn't check good enough. I inspected my hive today the 5 empty frames all have new comb being built, hive is active no where near full though have, honey, capped larvae and open larvae, didn't see eggs though. Also have 5 queen cells all on the edges, one of which had hatched, did see the new queen but not the original, what are the odds that the hive will still swarm? Is it best to destroy those extra queen cells. Thanks.
Sounds like it did swarm.
I dont destroy queen cells but that’s me
@@dfishman76 thanks for the quick answer. Wondering why they would swarm so early. Only had them a week
If their numbers get go high and queen runs out of room they will swarm
@@dfishman76 that's what I thought, but still have close to 6 empty frames though, even the nuc wasn't packed when I got. Thanks for the answer, just really surprised by a split that early
Hi d-man. I noticed you didn't use a queen excluder. You never use one?
+357lockdown never used one on a regular hive. I have heard mixed reviews on them. Might be a good idea for a view. What you think?
I just watched your video, so I might have missed something. Was this a queenless hive due to a split? I'm a beginner beekeeper with two hives so far, so I've so much to learn. I just inspected a hive I purchased last week and found a queen cell. Should I have done a split or removed the cell?
I never remove queen cells. Splitting it might be a good idea but not sure since I have not seen what’s going on with it
You found queen cells three days ago. And you were going to look for eggs? That doesn’t make sense.
