I noticed a lot of ants on your boxes

What brand is your hive?

That hair is wild!

Enjoying your night crawler vests. Wondering where you are located. Weather seem similar to my location in Baton Rouge La. Thanks Jay

Good job

Where are you located?

Why wait a week? Give a frame or a new queen now. Then the hive will sooner have a new, laying queen.

awesome , good luck with the new queens.

I agree that we need to show our successes and our failures. I hope everything was fine when you got back two weeks later. ~ Sandra

That looks neat!

Is that free bees or freebies..??❤❤

Nice

Just buy some new colonies and sell the honey to recover.🤷 Hopefully, you didn't kill them. 👍🍻

Great info I am a big wormm guy! Cheers!

Lol, love it!!

Oat meal and corn flour

You are a nice guy! I like your channel.

Worms don’t eat peat moss nor coco coir .. that’s why they get angry at you if you don’t feed them 😊👍🏽

Thanks. Great info. I'm just starting out with ENC worms. I've got Red Wigglers already.

Matt made a double walk a way split all worked now have 3 hives.

Your doing a great job

That's a lot of smoke for a colony that doesn't even look strong enough to be in a deep yet. Don't bee scared homie <3

Awesome Matt! Bees are pretty cool and especially helpful with gardening. Glad to see your back posting. I missed some of your videos and will start catching up. Are you still doing anything with your worms?

Your queen excluder on the big hive is the wrong way around. Flip it 90° and the bees can move to the other boxes easily.

Spray some honey water on the new frames, works great for motivating the bees.

First year bees thrive on neglect. Personally I wouldn't add a super for another couple of weeks and you can stop feeding them. When you do add frames make sure that they have a decent coat of wax. I also paint a bit of honey on mine so that the bees move across the frames. The honey that is filling your first frames is from the sugar water that you are giving them.

Hi Matt, looking forward to watching your progress this year. Greetings from 55° North in England. If you are only running a few hives, as a new beekeeper with fiesty bees you may want to consider a perspex viewing panel under the metal roof.

Good job on the smoker lol. keep up the work with the bees.

This is great! Pawpaw Sammy has a suggestion if you’re having an ant problem. Find something to make small legs for your hives (could be anything- like tea light candles or pvc pipe), and place those “legs” in water. That way the ants can’t go through the water and up to the hive! (The water makes a barrier)

Hi well done Where did you get the yellow internal frame feeders please?

hi from Greece !!

Welcome the the club.

Looks like you did a great job. Keep us informed on the progress of the bees.❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My Texas bees will light you up without a suit, but gotta love it... Great start

When you bend over your veil touches your face, bees will find that eventually and tag you on the tip of your nose/chin. If you wear a cap under the veil the bill pushes that veil out, some veils have a flappy stiff piece that velcros it out.

Earth worms and red wigglers love cardboard.

😂😂😂😂

Congratulations on your 🐝 🎉

My dad won’t wear a suit. He had me filming one day and sure enough I was the one who got stung…not him!

Hey Matt saw your post on Pawpaw Sammy’s channel and decided to check out your channel! New subscriber

matt do not have your number, Call Rusty he has not call me back.Call him and ask for my number ,

Where do you get your worms?

Hey man cool video, what temperature do you have to keep them at in order for them to live?

So do red wigglers!

Followed you for a while and looking forward to a return!

Do you raise bait worms to sell? The reason I ask is I would like to do something for al little extra income, curious if this would be profitable?

How many cocoons did you put in there? With all that flipping around I only saw 4 cocoons.

Great video. Very similar to how I make bedding for my euros. One suggestion that I would add for those using "worm chow" is to only feed on the surface. Just sprinkle the feed on the surface and gently scratch it into the top 1/8" of bedding then mist with water to moisten it. This will prevent your feed from clumping which makes it easier for the worms to eat it.

Thank you for the video, very simple to follow. Also you put the cardboard in and you said they seem to like that, do they eat that when there is not enough food?
