Never saw this demonstration before, thanks.
Genius solution to the veil problem.
Kamon i really like that Ring in the back of bee veil
Well done Kamon! I really love what you did to modify the veil. What a great idea. Thanks.
Thanks John!
I been keeping bees for 11 years, and I recently went to work for a commercial guy. I said, "I've had this for ten years, and I don't know how to tie it!"
Kamon... Thank you VERY much for this. I inherited a couple veils and had NO idea what to do with all the string. Fantastic choice of subject.
Well done Kamon, the back ring made a big difference 👍
frankly speaking when i started watching the video, i was like " what thaa!?" and when i saw the Ring Idea, i knew as usual it's one of Ramon's good ideas.. Thanks a lot man..
Just bought one like this. That's why I'm here today. Lol.
May be old school knowledge, but show me the first veil that comes with detailed instructions on how to wear it! I really do get aggravated with these companies that just ASSUME it's common knowledge how to use their products. I like the 'girls' at Kelleys too, always pleasant and helpful. Great video Kamon.
Very nice ladies indeed.
I am building up the confidence to ask one of them out!
@@huggybare9 good luck...I'm old enough to be their dad!
Like the ring idea in back. I rarely wear a veil, but there are occasions...yeah...ima suiting up!
I've had bees for decades and every time I'm dumb enough to think I can just go commando and put a super on real quick...Yeah forget that. Every time I get stung. Put the protection on and I don't need it.
Sigh... bees are fun.
I have elastic. Just put it on like a t shirt
works great
Thank you for the explanation. I liked the second tightening method
Old school knowledge...thanks for passing it on!!!!
Great video, Kamon, Soon enough I will have some bees, & this is great knowledge to know.
This is a really good modification. good job Kamon! When I use that type of veil, I prefer to tie it off on the side instead of in front. If left handed, tie on right side and vise versa. This eliminated getting the string caught in what you are doing, and "un-tieing" it by accident! I also recommend a black colored netting, for improved visibility, less glare. If you get a suit as Kaymon mentioned, get the flexible, fencing type hood so you can flip it back and sit in your truck without taking the suit off. Very useful video Kamon, keep up the good work.
Great instruction on that style. I have used the Kelley Hat/Veil Combo with No Strings that has the elastic loops that go under your arms. It keeps the veil and neck mesh away from your body, it stays in place quite well, easy on and off. Visibility was excellent since this has a fine metal mesh. I purchased a replacement in April from Kelley's but the have since discontinued it. Sad as it was such a good product. Simple veils are great when mowing the bee yard.
Thanks, that extra ring was a very useful tip. I hate fencing veils on my bee suit so have converted to veils and now I can actually see my bee hive 😂
You and me both hate fencing veils. I wish Ultra breeze had a way to mount one of these veils onto their vented suits
Just bought the Dadant square veil. I was looking for a video to explain how to use the ropes. I wish I had seen your video first. Thanks for tip with the key ring...brilliant.
Glad I could help!
That's a game-changer. RollTide!
Thank s man you helped me so much to understand that. My old veil had a hole (and I found out the hard way) with a drawstring. When I got the new one, it had the cord on a loop on the back, and a ring on the front. Thanks so much.
Excellent Video, I had just received one of these and was wondering how to wear it
The veil I am using is a Clear Vue sold by Kelley's and Mann Lake. The product code is MV-300. Use this in the search engine to find it. If you just look in the veil section you cannot find it. You also can get this veil on a beesuit. .......Finally found the link!! www.kelleybees.com/clear-vue-hat-veil-drawstring.html
I looked it up... $53. At that price it ought to feature reactive armour and early warning system! It is a nice veil though.
@@mark-wn5ek I don't know how it will compare to my last one that lasted 17 years. The construction is pretty similar BUT the old one was made at Kelleys these are made out of country.
Nice tip with the ring! I just got my veil and I'll check for a ring when I have time to take a better look at it.
Definitely had not been doing that right - thanks for the video!!
I agree, Jasinda at Kelley Bees is amazing to work with!
Just my luck! I ordered a new veil from Kelley’s on Tuesday and received it Thursday evening had gallbladder surgery early Friday morning so I haven’t even tried it out yet. I have so many veils and still looking for the perfect one. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Don! Hope you are feeling well! This always makes me feel alot better! ruclips.net/video/h6YVZJ3n1Ow/видео.html
Hope you have a full recovery from your gallbladder surgery. I had mine many years ago so I understand. Hope you are completely healed and good luck with your new veil. Kamon did a great job of explaining how to improve this product.
John Hale Jr, thank you so much! Kamon always does a great job with all phases of beekeeping.
Just a quick tip.. You didn't mention it specifically but it is good to wear a ball cap with the veil like you did. It's particularly good with the fencing type veils. It holds the veil away from your face and prevents stings on the nose.
Thanks !!
Good info! Thanks!!
Thats awesome Kamon, I just got one from Mann Lake without the ring and noticed the back of the neck isn't protected using it. I have to look around for a key-ring now. I did notice you have a good UN-obstructive view with it.
Where I come from we would call that Yankee Ingenuity!
Thank you so much for this explanation. My vail works just the way you explained it. Now I can wear it knowing my neck is protected. My vail from Dadant came with the loop in the back. I never knew what it was for and my neck was always exposed, which the bees are drawn to of course. I know because I got torn up pretty bad. I like wearing it when I am giving the bees water. It saves time when you’re not going in the hive. I feel so much better now wearing it!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Haha. I just got mine in the mail today. My string and loops are just like those. I was confused. 🤦♂️
Very common sense approach to fixing the neck problem. If I had any bees in my swarm traps, I'd order one from Kellys. I actually have one with a helmet in my cart, been holding off till I get stung - that's how it's done , right? They'll probably be sold out for month now, thanks to your smart video.
As always, thanks for a great video.
Idk what or makes the one at Albert zook in Lawrenceburg tn but best one I’ve ever had,no strings but got a elastic band around the gaiter and covers all skin,and I think 10 bucks.
Thanks for doing this video. It'd be better if you actually had like 8 veils and call yourself Fatima.
😃
Tip: shirts with collars flipped up keep bees out better. My veil leaves the neck open at rear if I don't use a collared shirt.
🤣
👍👍
Did they quit making the veil your demonstrating? I have looked and looked and can't seem to find one. One with the two loops and long string???? That MV300 sure doesn't look like the one you have?
If you call and ask for jesinda at kelleys bees she can help you find it. Mann lake website is always being mis managed
Thanks for the tips. The other veil you're often using, the one without strings, where did you buy it?
That was a kelley veil I purchased 17 years ago. Unfortunately they no longer make them like that. That veil has a zipper on it and it use to attach to a cotton suit but it was hot!
Any idea where you can get that veil today?
So where’s the link?
Do you have item number for Kelly’s I can not find the veil you demonstrated on their website
mv-300
Kamon, I need to buy an OA vaporizer before Dec. I really want a Provap 110, but the number of hives I plan to keep doesn’t really justify the purchase. Two questions: 1) what’s the best vaporizer value?; 2) should I just go ahead and get the provap 110 anticipating that I’ll end up with a lot more hives than I plan? Thanks.
hey stan contact John Oliver with the easy vap. under 200 dollars and has the same speed. He is on beesource.
What model hat and veil is this one?
Hi Kamon, unrelated question, but is using slightly burnt wax to wax frames okay to do? The wax was not creamy white yellow, more like a light golden color. I let my crock pot get too hot.
Hey David that should work just fine. I have used slightly burnt wax myself
@@kamonreynolds thanks buddy. Rooting for you and your business! Hope the weather improves!
Thanks David!
Where is the Link to purchase this particular hat/veil for my Husband? Thank You
I wondered why the strings were so long. Lol
Since the first video you wore this veil, i've been searching for it. Mann lake has only ever had the 'Alexander with elastic', Kelly's seems to have the 'pull down veil' and from reading all others require a helmet in addition. I know you said the link is in the description, but for a second video you've said this i've gone through the description and comments and zip/zilch/nothing. Every site i look at has white background so the tops of the veils are invisible. Did you sew the hat (im sure its not a helmet) onto the veil. any extra info would be awesome please. Cheers
Bradley they had this on their website in the past but I couldn't find them just looking in the veil section. They should be there but they are not! However, if you type in MV-300 into the search engine of Kelley's or Mann Lake it will come up as the Clear view veil.
Kamon Thank you very much for your time and help
Does it keep gnats away from your face too? I'd buy one just for that!
Can not tell you how many people ask on getting stung and if your afraid to get stung then don’t be a beekeeper . But do homework of finding the best temperament bees if your afraid of getting stung . I have been stung by an Africanized colony over 250 stings and I have my personal hives that a little smoke and shorts and tank top on and maybe one sting but most is my fault on those strains .
So...exactly how high did you get after 250 injections of bee venum? I got hit about 25 times on a cutout...on my hand.
I didn't lose use of my hand but I did have to sit down for about 3-5 minutes. What a rush. 😂
It felt like electricity.
I didn’t get a high but I did have many of those stings puss up as the venom on the Africanized bee is more potent and burn wow
Im going to need a new one i left mine in the little shed i have in the my bee yard and the dam mice chewed a hole in the front of it 🤬
How to Tie a Bee
lol, your thumbnail looks like Mr. Bean's Veil Review.
Hey, sheep skin gloves. How to keep them clean. I went thru my strongest hive the other day, a single deep with 4 supers that needs a split. So a little context - 7 am just 20 minutes after raining all night, altimeter was off so that makes them angry (I will be conducting a study on bees and barometric pressure because I can find nothing "official"), I starting collecting a few frames of honey and several went after me. As I smoke my gloves and tool going deeper to the brood box, the bees got worse. Brushing a few bees off the honey frames also aggravated them. I had at least 100 bees stuck to my gloves and jacket sleeves stinging me at least 15 times below the elbow in just minutes. That's more than the last 3-4 yrs total. I was able to wait 30 minutes to let them calm down to put the hive back together, but that was touchy too.
I don't know if I should requeen or my gloves and tools weren't clean enough and had dead bee pheromones and stingers all over my gloves.
Yeah, they are starting to attack my hive tool, too. As I get an inch or two from the frames, a few bees attack it and that gets the others excited. Do any of you clean your tools while in the yard and if so, what do you use. I only have this problem with 2 large colonies. I think the split next week will calm them down. Splits easily grow and I recommend investing into Better Comb just for broods and quick expansion. Better Comb worked very well for me.
To back my case of using essential oils, In one yard I split 3 hives into 12 and can most likely split out another 4-6 next week before Fall starts. I expect about 15-20 9-frame supers just from this new yard. I had a zero mite count from those 3 hives last year and have only seen one beetle this year using the guardian entrances. I'm having much success on the Plateau this year, just tired of the 2 colonies attempting to attack me. Ideas?
Bill Henson I keep one of those tiny $2 containers of vaseline, with some wintergreen and peppermint oils mixed in, in my pocket, and rub a little dab in to any sting site. Seems to mask the pheromone. Some of my hives make huge amounts of propolis, and everytime I work them the glove fingers get all gunked up and begin sticking together. For that, I use the big jar of vaseline, liberally rubbing it into the fingers and let it sit overnight if possible. Most of the propolis then comes off easily with a fingernail.
@@paulchristu996 Works great. Of course barometric pressure was normal, didn't just rain all night, wasn't 0630 in the morning, and I handled them more gently. Thanks.
Already took a 9-frame box off that hive this morning and added another empty. I also went four boxes down into the brood and found the queen to mark her after 6 months.
Pls dear beefriends...just hold bees that wont sting..
Yes Apis melifera..they do exist..
Watch my video's
Finally get yourself a new vail?
Ps...you still look like my grandma🤣
