    Beekeeping for Beginners and beekeeping basics. I am pretty proud of some of the hive footage we managed to get on film, you might want to turn on the high definition option on this story. We also talk about winter beekeeping, beekeeping protective clothing and beekeeping supplies. We dive in much deeper into beekeeping suits and show you the benefits of beekeeping. This is great knowledge to know for off grid living.
    Don't forget there is also a closed caption option you can turn on if you need it to understand my southern accent :)

    Supersedure cells are for replacing a weak queen (usually found on the face of a frame), these are healthy and you just keep an eye on them, since they are replacing the queen, this will generally NOT cause a swarm. IMO, if there are multiples of Supersedure cells, it will probably cause a swarm... he's trying to explain swarm cells, (they are at the BOTTOM of most frames), and WILL cause a swarm, or many swarms.. If you don't make splits, your hive will split itself, with nearly half taking as much as they can carry, and fly away... if they do this several times, you will be left with an empty hive.

    a) "Dect" phone's frequency interferes with the bee's navigation.
    b) "Dect" phones have quite a large range which is increased by adding a 2nd ,3rd, 4th etc charger / range extender.
    c) If you have a cordless / home / office phone there's a 90% chance it's a "Dect Phone"
    d) Dect phones are not the only devices operating on or near to that spectrum.

      Laurel etc large fast growing maturing flooring trees produce far better and more honey each than an acre of wildflowers, so bordering with trees, even an acre only of land, can greatly increase yields.

    Today I looked through some of my old documents from the 1800s and came across mention of the Foul Brood in bee colonies and that salicylic acid was an antiseptic used to help heal the colony. In research for hunting down ghost towns and farms, one should look for fruit orchards and willow trees. Have you heard of any research into the possibility of using willow trees as a source of food for bees to keep them healthy due to salicylic acid in the bark that may also be in the tree pollen?

    • @privatebubba8876
      @privatebubba8876 5 лет назад

      Willows are excellent source for bees as far as any antiseptic value for AFB there is none.

    Fantastic stuff! I'm currently a city boy (Vancouver, BC) in his early 20's, but I've always wanted to do something like this long-term. Once I'm more financially stable, I want to look into finding a mentor for this line of work. My dad was a farmer (though not a beekeeper), so I already have a taste for this kind of lifestyle, and it suits me very well.
    Plus, bees are just awesome!

    When you have one hive you don't need to buy a queen except for genetics. You can place a frame with eggs at different stages into a starter hive. The workers will decide which eggs to turn into a queen cell. Not sure why people think that you won't get honey the first year. I have always been able to pull honey from a hive the first year with no issues.

  • @101Cecilia

    Requeening a captured swarm. I would've never thought of that, makes SUCH PERFECT SENSE! Did you and a mentor figure this out together?

    • @uncleharley1
      @uncleharley1 8 лет назад +8

      +101Cecilia No way they typically swarm in their second yr and queens have been known to be viable 5+ yrs , you especially dont want to re-queen if you know they came from true feral bees.( unless they give you reason to like agression) I'll give you an example, a swarm issued from my moms tree and I wasn't in town so another local beek got it. He immediately re-queened and lost them a yr later to mites. 3 yrs later the original hive is still alive without treatments. If this guys colony died from an old queen it's because they superceded her and something happened or she didn't return. Whenever supercedure happens I always split the hive and place cells in each half to increase my chances of getting a new mated queen to return. If one fails, re-combine. The only reason you would ever need to re-queen is to get rid of unwanted traits, like agression, or poor laying patterns, etc. Don't just do it to do it, you could be pinching the best queen you ever had.

    Except swarms are only old queens once she gets sick old, or just pushed out by one of her daughters.. some hives have the healthiest queens for years and produce exceptionally vibrant queens swarming/kicked out. It's a scam perpetuated to sell queens, and the real problem is not having proper conditions for your wild caught bees, new queens released in bad conditions may leave some to work on hive, but leave with others again, as they do and I've seen many times. Otherwise awesome video and thanks for sharing, I miss my setup that was taken.
