Hey Melissa, Thanks for watching. I leave the frames out for the Honeyguides to peck at and then I submerge in boiling water and easily scrape and clean them ready for full wax sheets to be inserted.
Bees go through the same lifecycle as butterflies. First as an egg, then larvae, the cell is capped when the larvae are big enough and can pupate into a bee. The period where they go from a larvae to a bee is what we call brood. Here is an interesting video on this subject. ruclips.net/video/N7Nd4Ll1rYs/видео.html
The bees we are working with are not always but can be very aggressive and we take the necessary precautions to ensure the people and pets in the area are not in any danger. By working in the dark we are able to control the bees with lights and smoke. Thanks for watching.
Did you end up saving the bees? You shouldn't use the infected comb. Chances are the moth already laid eggs in it. Just move the bees and not the comb. Thanks for sharing
Yeah, bees were saved. We do regular inspections and remove old comb and replace with wax sheets in a very short cycle. This also helps get the colony strong as the queen lays well in fresh comb. I have also found wax month in an active hive is quite rare, normally they take over a box once the colony has absconded.
Hey thanks for video! This spring I finally gave up beekeeping. Sadly. I don't think there is any time left. Jesus is coming soon and we need to be ready to go with him. Please worship Jesus today. He is our only hope. This world is crumbling. God bless you, all my fellow bee-lovers!
My favorite so far!
Thanks for watching. 💛
Soooo interesting!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I have never seen wax moth so severe, the biggest problem on the Gold Coast is Hive beetle
Generally, we see terrible wax moth in abandoned hives. Thanks for watching.
Great video. What did you do with those wax moth frames?

My kids want to know what 'brood' is?

@@BeeSanctuary interesting… thanks!
Thanks for watching.
Finally a solution!
Glad you got value from it.
Why are you beekeeping in the dark?
