    Very informative. There's so much to learn. I studied a year before I got my bees. Then when I when into the hive to check everything I was lost. Hands on is the way to go but it can be overwhelming. I successfully maked two new hives, now I have four hives. Everything is going OK so far. I don't know everything and your videos help.

    As a new beekeeper there is a tremendous amount of information to learn if you intend to manage your hives for growth. Knowing what a fresh egg looks like or a 1 2 or 3 day old may seem trivial to those who do not know but it is important to determining the progression of your hives. I just on Dec 20th got my second hive. I have learned a mountain of information about many subjects. Queens, workers,nurse bees,guard bees,drones, hive boxes, frames, foundation, wax ,honey, sugar water, SHB/varroa/AFB. I read the bee journal, I watch everyone's videos, I search out every bit of info I can find I read and I read some more. I am not a standing member of any local or state or national bee club or organization. I merely gained an interest into an insect that I had feared for 50 years. Now I am addicted to keeping bees. But I learn something new about bees everyday. I am no where near a master I never will be. But I am addicted to keeping bees. I want more. I have 2 hives I want 50. I can only keep 3hives by law in Florida in my yard. Damn I gotta find a place to keep bees or move.
    I done told you I wanna order some of your Queens, I am not ready to breed queens.
    My bees will not take my pollen (imitation) they are still bringing in pollen.

    Hi Dave this is great! I've been at bee keeping for about a year now and you've always provide great information. I've caught 2 swarm here in NorCal (Bay Area) already for the month of April. One of which I caught about 3 weeks ago and have transferred them into in a vertical hive. I immediately put the trap out the next day in a different location and caught another swarm 3 days later. I'll be constructing a vertical hive for this swarm as well and will put the trap out once more for 3rd and work with the 3 for 2020.
    Thanks once again for the information you provide.

      @bc2578 Před 4 lety +9

      Well, small colony, late split like he said, probably mostly nurse bees and no grouchy old foragers....but anyway, you may find that using gloves increases clumsiness and decreases fine touch, so you are more likely to press a bee and provoke a sting. You may not feel the sting in your glove, but they can all smell what just happened and it raises the alarm. Moving slowly and having better feel, you can cause less panic by not using gloves.........

    • @romoshka1
      @romoshka1 Před 4 lety +4

      Billy Konstantine like B Calvert said, bare hands create the necessity of going slow which keeps bees calm despite your increased anxiety. Start with nitrile gloves and graduate to bare hands. I dump the charred residual from the smoker and rub it on my hands.

      @user-md4di6yg2p Před 4 lety +14

      As a newbeek I was wondering what on earth am I getting myself into?! I found out real fast that there's a huge difference between honey bees and wasps (altho there are some strains of bees that tend to be more aggressive). The first time I worked my hive I was almost trembling. A few minutes into it, you realize that they've got other things on their mind, so if you move slowly, calmly, and carefully, they'll more than likely ignore you and go about their buzziness...er, business. By the end of my first year, I reached the point where I wanted to tend the hive everyday, but that's just not a good idea, so I had to content myself with sitting near the hive and just watching them come and go. If you don't act like a threat to the hive, they won't view you as a threat, and if you spot a bee tending a flower or drinking water, you can actually pet them (albeit veeeery gently!)

I have some neighbor beekeepers about a half mile away that keep a lot of russians and they said they probably have a few drones flying around. I'm gonna give it a couple of weeks and check when we get good weather again. If she's still not laying I don't know if they'll make it the rest of the way with no brood. I'll have to think about combining the hive. I'm thinking the virgin queen should at least stop a laying worker situation... I'm in Northeast Georgia.

    Whats difference between empty frames & frames with plastic honeycomb already in place? Is it just to speed up the bees making the comb?

    Learning health to manage is key and all first year hives save capped honey and freeze and use acilic acid to nuc mites ! Hive beetles are just as strong to control on new colonies !! Many 2nd year hives you may lose half of but your treatments on new s you going on in the hobby and expanding !!

    One of my questions is how do you limit splits/swarms? Like if I were to start bee colony and only wanted to manage two hives at a time or something, do I just need to pay to have someone pick up my excess population when I start to notice signs of them getting ready to split?

    Great video, But I have to ask do you get use to the stinging as I am a new keeper and got stung twice and it felt like fire and lasted for days. I have to say it was my fault but it still hurt.

    OK. So I take a frame, with a queen cell from a 5 frame nuc, place it in a 2 frame nuc along with an empty frame. What's to stop the adults flying back to the 5 frame nuc.?

    Hi
    I have been following your channel and really appreciating your content. I want to as k you a question regarding foggers as I do not want to spend the money on vapourizer at this stage. I am in NZ and cannot get 100 proof alcohol at an acceptable price, would a mix of oxalic acid and isopropyl alcohol be okay and not harm bees?
    Thanks, have a great New Year!

    Do you use mostly foundationless? The hive I bought came with plastic foundation so I guess I'll try that first. I will be coating them with two coats of wax.

    Thought I was doing great over the spring and summer... Colonies were growing like crazy, split them several times... Then lost all my colonies to ants within the first month of the winter..
    Not gonna get any more bees, lost several thousand dollars worth of investment... They were all fine then within a week they were all gone...

      Don't just give up, just learn from mistakes. You have already invested the money. When my grandad raised quail off the ground.... he would put coffee cans on the legs of the pens filled with oil with a cover higher to keep water out. That way the ants couldn't get to them.
