Hope to be getting my first bees end of this month, bought my thrones national hive yesterday..ouch but looks good can’t wait to fill it with girls etc. great demo easy to follow so glad I found your channel. Many thanks from nervous beginner
Thanks, this gave me sufficient confidence to do the same tomorrow....looks easy enough. I've had some bees in a nuc caught from a swarm in the garden where I work. I'm about to start on a bee keeping journey! Have subscribed to your channel
Do you rear your own queens? if not where do you get them from? I would be interested to see a video on swarm prevention both pre swarm cells and post swarm cells.
Most of the queen i rear myself just through making splits. But I do buy queens in occasionally to get better blood lines. I use Ricki Wilson normally. He's a very good breeder that lives on the Carmarthenshire/Ceredigion border. Il get the video done!!
First day as a bee keeper today! Thanks for the video!
Good luck 😊
Makes it look so simple.
Superb 👍🏻
Superb material to copy and gain info 👍🏻
Really useful and clear - thank you. I will be getting my own bees for the first time on Friday 😊
Glad you found it useful 😊

If it’s a thornes hive it will be too quality. 😊👍🏻
No need to be nervous you’ll be fine 😊👍🏻👍🏻

Why did you putting the queen excluder on top but you left the entrance wide open?
To stop the queen going into the honey supers. I run pretty much everything on single brood.
Did you leave the nuc for 24 hours before you transfer to the hive?
Yes the nuc was there for over 24hrs first. But if moving the bees to a new site I’d happily transfer them straight away.
If something were to happen the queen in the process, what would the outcome for the colony be?
Depends on the time of year they will probably make another queen
@@gwenyngruffydd nice one. cheers. transferred my first ever nuc to a hive today.
Hope it went well? 😊
@@gwenyngruffydd I think so. Most of the stray bees seemed to find their way back in after a couple of hours. Your video helped a lot.
Glad to hear it 😊 thanks for commenting
No feeding?
That’s one thing I do now every time I transfer a nuc into a hive is feed them syrup. Well spotted! 😊👍🏻
What?
What’s the question?
