10:00 I watched another Channel called: 'Texas Bee Works' and the Bee keeper had found Beehives in a Old Suitcase, Abandoned Toilet and a Derelict Washing Machine and she's very Gentle with the Bees and the Bees love her too for giving them a new home.
Looked more like a massacre than a rescue to me . You must have taken a load of stings . Cant fault you cheerful attitude though. Hope the new hive works out.
Well, that's a massacre to me too... I personally try my best to not hurt 'em while handling combs... btw his hands gonna itch for a long time. Anyway, here the situation is tricky though, at least at the beginning.
I find it fascinating and amazing how they’re able to build comb to the depth and thickness and shape that is just right for airflow and uses like brood or honey! I wish I could keep bees and let them build how they want but sadly it wouldn’t be inspectable. Sometimes I wonder if frames make them more vulnerable to pests vs the natural wavy patterns they build.
🤣The way that adorable man said in his accent “don’t forget to like, click, and subscribe, and all that crazy shit you do out there on the internet…” 🤣👍
This man is charming but I question that bucket he's putting the honey in😅 doesn't look the most hygienic to me but this was so enjoyable to watch though.
He said at the beginning it was an 'observation' hive. He had a video recording camera in the hive itself. I don't think he actually ever intended to harvest honey. I think he was just using the fish tank for the bees the same way it was meant to be used for fish - for just looking at them and seeing how the hive got on. The problem was that the hive got very successful to the point where the camera was obscured by comb and couldn't see out. He wife wanted him to clear it out because it got unsightly. So now he's transferring an unexpectedly successful hive to a Flow Hive because he now wants to harvest honey. I don't think he can use that honey that's there now. And I'm not sure if he accidentally killed the queen or not.
in your brood frame you have wire wrapped all over the new frame to help the transfer between hives, did you do the same thing for honey frames to act as a guide for bees to build their wax from when you first put them in?
@17:43 you can see the silhouette of a bee on his back trying hard to sting him. You can see her abdomen going in and out trying to sting the evil monster destroying her home.
Could/should have used the horizontal Layens hive, deep frame method, where the frames could have helped to alleviate most of the cross combing mess? Sad for the bees!! 😞
Wow that's a first year hive you said? That's insane. This is why frames go all the way around (which I realize would block the view into the box) to help the comb stay regular and make for easier removal. Like other people said, a bread knife would help loads in comb removal. But full frames would be best.
If not for this man's jolly, positive attitude, i would have clicked off of the bee/honey squish fest. So sorry for the 🐝 that died in the making of this video 😅 Hopefully there's a happy update for this hive...I'll be searching for it. Happy jolly bee man, ya got me 😊 I subscribed 😘 i just hope the rest of the videos on this channel are much more gentle and less squish
Hey Mr. Bushbee man let's do it again and see if it works out with frames without the mess lol glad to see that it works lol keep it roll forgot the dung ding ding saying lol
I think it worked out well . You have done quite a few bee removals where the comb has gone the wrong direction and you are getting better at it . I think it would have worked better if you had used checkard board using frames to keep the comb going correct. Thanks for bring us along in this cut cut cut cut cut cut cut out . Good to see you have time to do video again . Thanks
The honey and honey comb looks delicious 😋 😋, ive been wanting some good honey and honey comb for several year's now and it's hard to find someone who has it, i would like to try bee bread also
I love that wired frame idea. Where I work some bees made a nest in a water valve box that is buried in the ground with a lid on top. My bright idea was to buy another box, put a bottom on it and screen off the openings for the pipe. Then I went to the box and just pulled off the lid, with the hive stuck to it and placed it on the other box that I had readied. It's been in my backyard for over two years now. I captured one swarm from it and dumped them into a top bar box I built. Since then that hive swarmed but I had nowhere to put them so they had to go find their own home. I built a better top bar going on my experience with the first one. I'm planning to get the hive out of the water box and move them into the top bar. The water box hive is so heavy I can barely pick it up. I harvested from my first top bar and took about twenty pounds of honey. Just getting ideas.
I love this and will show my grandson. I have a large fish tank in my livingroom set up for 3 months ready for my observation hive for the winter. I already have a few top bar hives and will transfer some combs and bees to the tank. I'm not sure if I'll leave them in next spring though after seeing what your's has done. I'm mostly making it for hive air therapy for my lungs though after covid 2x has left me with breathing issues. Gosh I loved watching this video and how your bees did it their way
@@iditarod4081 actually inside the hive when it is closed it is more of a sterile environment. When a tube is placed in the hive and a person at the other end of the tube is wearing a mask with the tube attached they are breathing the hive air in. Studies have proven to increase lung function, cure pneumonia and bronchitis without medicine, help heal lung damage, help with asthma, copd and emphysema etc. My pulmonary Dr has suggested I try it for my breathing issues caused by having covid twice and having the lung damage it caused. When I'm breathing the hive air I was able to breath very well without coughing for up to 3 hours each time. That was a blessing as 8 had been coughing for 19 months from first Covid.
@@sherryortiz227 interesting, is it a dry cough? Seems complex what do you use PEX tubing? Would be hard to get any air volume. Lungs breathe in lots of air it seems like you would circulate the hive air a few times a minute. I wonder if you might consider a trip to some wonderful vacation spot. There's all these old timey stories of people going to airy spots in the 1800s for rehabilitation or whatever they called it.
When ya start cracking the lid and frames off and there's that shot of the comb and honey.... It looks so amazing. Clean and pure and so tasty! Looks SO full of honey!!
A few things, i think the fish tank bee hive would've worked if the frames had had sides and wax in the middle of the frame, that way the comb would've had more stability, and the bees would've had a good foundation to built straight comb onto. Two, i think you should've at least had a bee vacuum to vacuum up any bees you could before taking out the honey. It looks like lots of bees died, and who knows if the queen even survived. I've been a lot of comb extractions, and this was by far the messiest with the most bee deaths. Three, i think a longer knife would've made removing the comb in one piece a little easier, especially once you got to the brood comb. I appreciate your jolly attitude throughout the whole thing, though. Vacuuming up the bees also would've probably prevented you from getting stung so much.
bees in the netherlands i find are never aggresive i just find the wondering ones but when drinking my koffie in the garden i will some and they will even walk on my hand no problem
You should carry a sharp bread knife for cutting the comb. They are long and works alot better and it's cleaner then a dull scraper. You wouldn't have had such the mess. It's especially good to use when cutting comb to fit the frames. I hope you will consider this because that scraper just isn't doing it. It's just making a mess of the comb.
Californians 🤦♂️ If you could remove one state from the union to make the USA a better place, what state would it be, and why did you choose California?
They did not rule them fish. The rule said, in the section initially dealing with acquatics, that the rule applied to invertebrates as well, hence, bees. Clickbait titles got you again.
@@Lord_Volkner If you removed California, the US would fall below China in the world economy ranks, just saying. California alone is the 5th biggest economy of the world.
@@Bramble20322 That's not exactly true. A) California's economy is collapsing thanks to progressive policies. Businesses are fleeing California at an alarming rate. B) Most of California's economy is goods going through California. It's a giant shipping hum for goods coming to the US and going from the US. Remove California and those goods would still ship, just through other ports. Removing California wouldn't even be noticed. P.S. ... and what you said isn't even true. I just looked it up. Even if you assume that none of that commerce would go around Cali (which is a stupid assumption) the US economy would still be bigger than China without Cali. US economy 25T Cali economy 3.3T China economy 18T 25 - 3.3 > 18 ... and don't thumbs up your own comments, especially when you're wrong.
Loved it thanks for sharing!! I’ve come to feel that if it’s a hollow space that’s dry and safe feeling for them then the bees don’t care they’ll use it lol.
The fish-tank beehive seems to work :-) I really like the idea! Congratulations! Maybe small development with a few internal frames or maybe full plexi-glass inner cover would help extracting the honey :-)
I have the idea of finding a very nice ornate (non working) Grand Father Clock and transform it into a observation hive. I have found that very nice broken clocks are not cheep.... hmm.
They made a lot of honey in that tank. I have watched the live video of it for awhile i guess until they covered the camera up. Let us know how much honey was there. ❤️🐝👍
This is the messiest way to get honey that I’ve ever seen!
also placing the honey into a black nasty looking box
I truly don't believe it's a failure of the bees nor the fish tank... it's clearly a lack of care and maintenance mate! Poor bees...
This man is just so freaking jolly!!! 😊😊😊 Also, wears a full suit and uses smoke...places bare on the hive 😂
She left, now she just got a deathnote

She's famous. She's like a super hero without a cape.
Did you identify the queen, or are you just kinda hoping she survived the sticky mess and moved into the flow hive?
That was beautiful comb. To bad its a smushed by your extraction.
Yeah he could have sold that intact comb for twice what he could have sold the honey for
This man is the human Winnie The Pooh so adorable
That's the best comb honey I've seeen in over 40 years!
Looked more like a massacre than a rescue to me . You must have taken a load of stings . Cant fault you cheerful attitude though. Hope the new hive works out.
I was thinking the same thing...that they must have stung his hands badly!
Well, that's a massacre to me too... I personally try my best to not hurt 'em while handling combs... btw his hands gonna itch for a long time. Anyway, here the situation is tricky though, at least at the beginning.
Poderia usar uma luva né? Kkkkkk
Um açougue de abelhas hahahaha
I was cringing throughout the whole video! Poor bees :,(

"And they don't like it when you put your hand in their honey pot, and they sting ya..." True, that.

I agree
6:41 that container looks dirty, isn't?
i like you attitude buddy!❤
Seeing this kind of rescuing beehive for the first time. This really looks like massacre .
Too bad you didn't have a clean bucket that's enough honey for a whole neighborhood
Winnie the pooh ♥️ I just hear that song in my head while watching this. 👀 lol he's stealing the honey.

Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you. My daughter and I just love your video and lovely accent.
People is starting to stop using smokers because cause Absconding swarm, now air blowers are being used. You can try and give us feedback!
This is the most entertaining beekeeping video I’ve ever seen
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wives rule the world! All the way down to fish tank beehives!
I enjoy watching you so much. Bloody wonderful! xxx
So fun, the messiness on this vid
That was fantastic. Thanks, my Aussie Bee grandfather.
Next project, raising fish in a bee hive

I love this man he is so happy even he gets stung by bees God bless you
What a delightfully odd video. I can't say I know how or why I'm here, but I'm enjoying it!
That's such a great ide for an observation hive. Great for elementary schools in a smaller 10 or 20 gallon size.
Wow that's a first year hive you said? That's insane.

I would love to know how you makes sure you are not killing the queen in this case?
A lot of smoke because she'll head towards the brood and once you reach the brood going carefully

8:20. Oh he is Talking while he is picking the honey comb by his hand.
very intresting i wonder if bees always comb east to west,or north to south.or if it depends hive to hive?i love bees.been watching vid for years.
Wow beautiful ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
This bloke is amazingly cheeky 😅
You are such a delight!! Keep up the hard work! Love, praise and respect from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
i probably wouldve let them draw new comb in new hive... the trick is to get the queen in the new hive first and let the other bees follow her.

Your method reminds me of my grandmother's recipe when she used to prepare the bread dough in the south, so much more than that dough👍👍
You ever think about costuming your tank like a divider and springs for water and stuff or like a little lounge or soething
Great to see new videos. Hope all is well. Be great to see new bee rescues and such
I am a fish tank hobbyist and….. just wow
You are quite interesting to watch. if the bee's are staying on the porch just leave the sticky mess and they will clean it up for you.
