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 :)

#beekeeping #honey #gardening
This is by far the most honest and better explained video.
Honey moisture is between 16.6% and 18.5%.
Here I am sitting in Winchester, NH soaking up all the information and knowledge I can get my eyes on and falling in love with bees and this amazing art
There's a good series called ' The wonder of bees with Martha Kearney' on BBC iPlayer, if anybody's interested. The entire series is still up. There's about 5 episodes.
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.
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.
I loved it when it cuts to the guy petting the goose. Lol Keep these coming.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm getting back into beekeeping this near April, So excited. Natural Beekeeping Works!!!!!
i also wish this video wouldve addressed varroa mites, small hive beetle and CCD, probably the biggest threats to kept bees
plant flowers to assist the bees in the low flowers periods, esp sunflowers
Good advice.
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?
Willows are excellent source for bees as far as any antiseptic value for AFB there is none.
I am just getting into starting my hobby in bee keeping
If you made it to buying or trapping your bees Done made the big decision! Bees is a lot of hard hot work. Then the next thing is> Know your bees, stains, actions ect. what and how they do things. Then next is make systems to work em, Honey, wax and things> I Do things in STATIONS Then your off into the world of honey bees REMEMBER THIS > NO HONEY BEES> THERE IS NO WORLD TO LIVE IN
Start small and build slowly - Fantastic advice.
Next year is my 3rd year and going good i got 200 lbs this year off 1 hive so its winter now here and i look forward to next year
great teaching video. Hope you have less harsh winters up there. CT has been getting milder and milder winters.
Glad a lot of bee keepers are VERY close to us one of my friends is one too
Love your video! I'm about to do a series of videos from first opening the goody box of supplies to assembling the boxes through the first year ..come watch me grow and give me some tips!
I think I'm having to give this beekeeping job a try!
As someone looking into learn how to bee keep I simply LOVED IT. Thank you!!!
Wow that’s cool! My uncle used to be a beekeeper never knew how much work he did with it 😎
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!
+StrunDoNhor agreed, bees are just cool.
i just picked upt 2 warre hives I ordered in London ontario, I live in sarnia........the warre hives don't pre built combs, pretty sure the bees can build their own comb walls
Fantastic video, thank you, Mark, Australia
Thanks for the kind words.
I thank you for your video and I'm very seriously thinking about getting into this I have a great mentor that lives close and a very good spot for them and also am somewhat of a wood worker so this is right up my alley. There are to many good qualities about bees not to..When the bees are gone... people will be gone also!!
Nice to see beekeepers from my neck of the woods. Thanks for the video.
This is an absolutely fascinating hobby. Great video and highly informative.
Nice job doc!
Thanks for the great video Tarrin! I'll send you my first batch of honey. (In 2 years)
Awesome, good luck with your bees, I hope it helped. So cool you are starting a hive.
Thank you. I am looking to buy my own land for me and my family and beekeeping is something that is at the top of my list of things to do. This video has been very helpful and I look forward to learning more in the future.
I'd love to learn more about slum gum, how to make it.
Thank you for a great Video Doc.
Excellent, thorough, knowledgable! Great video. That's a like & subscribe from me.
Thank you for video! Best spring greetings from Ukrainian beekeepers to beekeepers in Canada!
more videos like this please!
A friend of mine that I used to work with sold a creamed honey from his hives flavored with cinnamon. Absolutely the best tasting honey I've ever eaten.
Well done video! Simple and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to be looking into a colony for this spring
Thanks for explaining things
THANK YOU VERY MUCH...GREAT INFOS.....
Something to think about!
Close to trying beekeeping and / or chickens, but maybe will keep watching videos for a while.....Good job with this very interesting and informative video!
this was extremely informative, thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching, feel free to share.
Brilliant advice
I just got a Langstrof hive box that has two brood boxes and one honey super. I notice the inner top cover does not have a notch in the side. Should there be one? Worried about the ventilation and moisture control. Also the bottom board is solid. Should I swap it out for one with a screen for varroa mite control?
Great video! I've watched many and this is very informative! Thank you!
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.
great work, thanks!
wonderful video thank you.
Thanks for the nice words
Be careful & great job
Do different kinds of flowers make different tasting honey?
Thank you I am writing a fictional romance book with beekeepers this helped a lot. Also, are there any books you would recommend?
ADHD-BORDERLINE QUEEN look at 628 dirtrooster you will learn a lot more
Requeening a captured swarm. I would've never thought of that, makes SUCH PERFECT SENSE! Did you and a mentor figure this out together?
+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.
That's the first thing I thought .
@@uncleharley1 exactly!
There hasn't been a heating solution made for the winter season yet? I'm sure the equipment would be extremely expensive if so..
Hi. Hope you may be able to help on this. New nuc, this morning some flying into hive others flying under hive hanging out on bottom board. Normal? Video included from this morning. Thanks. Posted a video on my page.
Can I start keeping bees with super or does one need to start with single chamber?
Well done!
The music at about 10:00 just makes me think Sjin's feed the world series.
Manchestersgirl Omg I used to love that series
lol
For me I heard it during some of the minigames in Suikoden for the Playstation 1.
Manchestersgirl 6:26 is what your looking for
living my dream! European bees to make mead! Viking life
Live your own dream
Very informational
Extremely helpful and a good watch!
Love this!! Jumped right in with a swarm:)
Good info!
So enjoyed that very very informative. We are going to start in South Africa!, such an important thing to do
Nice one, Subscribed. Please keep'em comin...
thank you!! this video was really helpful!
i notice the water is aslo very important for beekeeping
this is highly resourceful. thanks for documenting this
Very nice video. That's definitely something on our list of things to do.
Slowvannah Farms Thanks for checking it out and sharing it.
the drones also help regulate the hive temperature and humidity by detecting warm or wet areas and flapping their wings to form a air current. So except for doing their thing with the queen they also help alot untill they die. :)
I didn't know that. But what about in the winter I thought they kicked out all the drones to help save on food
Yeah its
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.
the goose is hilarious
Good stuff thanks
I'll study English with your help. I'm beekeeper and understand what you say. The most important thing, that you say right. I didn't understand what you meen whan you say "meed".
Mead is just an alcoholic drink that he makes on his farm.
Thanks for keeping things great
Very informative, thank you very much. A lot of useful information !
I impressed from james channel !you are awesome !!!👍👍👍i will supporting you now on!i will be fan of your channel
im in my 3 rd year bee keeping, im working to get larger but taking it slow, i get a new nuke every year and always get extra honey from them , usually 10 medium frames full at a minimum. It must be a location thing, i"ve heard this information on numerous utube sites.
when do they lay eggs and do they give so much honey is it so the bee can eat.
how far do you need to keep the hive from houses/homes?
BeeHive Yourselves!!! Cool vid. Thanks for sharing!
great job, Dr. Lupo! :)
Can i make hives out of redwood?
I would love to see the entire seminar that you show a snipet of in the beginning of the video. Is this footage available?
good info! excellent video! your goose is very tame!
Thank you for interesting Video! Good luck in insects collecting! Best greetings from beekeepers!!!!
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving the nice note.
+Dr. Tarrin P Lupo Always wanted to do this. I've contacted the bee keeper from NH via Facebook, referencing you and inquiring on prices of things they offer. ☺🐝
fantastic video, very informative. thanks.
Thank you for sharing and let's together keep it up!!!
ok thinking about my first hive next year what's the first thing to do to get started? I think I found my location not far from a woodsy area a little semi-shade in the heat of the day
+Dan Rodecap (smallenginecommander) This link should help you decide what to do first. tinyurl.com/qee7ro9
Question, why do be queens usually have red or blue dots?
they painted it dummy , for identification purposes
would it be a good idea to move the hive into a shelter (with an opening, im thinking like a chicken coop..bee coop lol) during really harsh winter conditions?
Whats the song called at 9:10 called
What's preventing beekeepers from placing a water station and moving a hive closer to a house or other source of electrical power and electrically heat the hive over winter? Seems a bit nutty to leave a hive out in freezing temps when in 2017 heat can be supplemented. It is no longer 1901 after all.
or have your "bee house" (its mostly to protect the hive bodies and keep the colonies dry) be a small greenhouse with roll up sides
Because like chickens pigeons ducks, and working animals, it weakens them greatly and when the power goes out/you turn it off hopefully once you "know" it's warm enough, and get a sudden chill to freeze, or heat spoke.. they then all die (as happens a lot unfortunately with coops lofts pens runs kennels etc). Now insulting in winter and making sure southern face broadest part of hive, is beneficial, as bees naturally meet in big thick heavily wooded and sheltered hollows of trees, creating insulation and stores of food and many workers that they cannot in tiny easy access and maneuverable lanstrom hives (you need five large boxes at least/minimum with insulation wrapped around to equal somewhat natural state of stores etc in winter). Larger hives btw don't swarm as much n keep best bees, sending rest away.
thank you--good video.
Hi, I was wondering if keeping bees around crops such as saffron could damage the crops in any way. I know bees collect pollen from flowers so could keeping bees around crops, saffron particularly, be an issue ? Thanks for the great video !
I don't know anything about Saffron, maybe someone reading this knows?
I know certain plants like Oleander shouldn't be planted, as well as azales, and confederate/yellow jasime climbing vine. I know certain lillies like stargazer lillies are somewhat toxic as well. In general things that are slightly toxic shouldn't be so available at local garden centers, like the azalea. You can google poisonous plants for bees and there is a huge list. I have removed these from the property I will say this, I know very little about bees but I have read a lot before I get ready for the venture "have a 3 year old waiting until 5" that some plants are toxic to the honey or reduce the quality. That is why I am planting now for bees that I will start in two years. I don't think people think like that but they probably should. I know a lot about planting and only what I have read about bees but for example I took out our Azaleas and have replaced them with blueberries. I also added a tupelo black gum tree near where I plant to have 2-3 hives. I am lucky enough to be able to grow satsumas and meyer lemons and have planted those nearby. I also have a fountain that isn't working that I plan on making operable and adding black river rock and using it for a good water source not far from the hive. We have problems with heat here in lower Alabama and plan on making a shed type structure enclosed by plywood, 4x4 posts, metal roof from two sides with holes drilled in for access and ventilation that will block out northern winter wind somewhat and the summer south sun. The year I start the hive I will plant a bunch of two/three types of clover right near the hive and will put horse manure down months in advance so they have a good soil structure. I think that will help more than feeding a ton of sugar water early on and plan on starting the hives here in early march which is the beginning of spring here. If I fail I will try again and again eventually getting it right. Having a healthy native supply of plants goes a long way I imagine towards beekeeping. Etc. Just planted 3 swamp bay and the more blooming trees you have the better. Also spreading out the bloom times to me is huge. I have seen the experts talk about not having enough bloom during "X" time of year due to drought, cold, heat, etc. I have 30 camellias for winter feeding on the property and in the peak of summer have three chaste trees, vegtable raised beds and rows, and a couple of bougainvilleas all of this is within an acre of where I plan on keeping 2-4 colonies when starting.
Interesting!!
i have a question we live in Ma. and we have been loosing our hive every winter i have been told its because of winter and that cant be true cause i know people who have them year after year is there info i can get to help me keep a hive going through the winter
thank you for informations
Nice vid and very informative.
I have a question I see most people feed bees with sugar water but if you were to use a energy drinks does the have a different effect on the bees with the gurana caffine and other ingredients
I don't think an energy drink with all its additives would be good for the bees.
I know this is an old comment but you shouldn't give bees sugar water, just plain water ^^ you give sugar water to wasps
that was very used full info thanks .from bc vancouver i am try to be come bee keeper..
