Excellent video and solid info. Placement of brood frames on shared wall is smart early season
Early season is tough on those little colonies. Every little bit helps.
excellent video! i love your practical way of explaining the topics!
Thank you for the feedback!
Really appreciate you taking the time to make these… you do a great job explaining the steps… liked and subscribed
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video! I have that same 4 way queen castle that I plan on using this year. I really enjoy your content.
Thank you.
Great video Justin. Thank you for sharing. We'll have to start our own queen castle up here this season ! I've never done that before.
Great resources for the apiary.
@@DysonApiaries I see that, great idea. Thanks for sharing. Whats your next video?
Who knows. I have a list but most are impromptu.
Just made your 999th subscriber. Hope you get to 1k soon. I've seen a few of your videos now here and there and they have all been great.
Where are you located in NC? I'm in Garner.
Awesome. Thanks for the sub and for letting me know! I’m near Winston. Mocksville.
What do you do with frames with honey,polin, and a few dead bees. From dead outs.🤔
Depends on the time of year. In the winter I just stack them up. Summer time, you have about two weeks before they start getting damaged when they have honey or pollen in them. If you’re just talking about a few, you can freeze them. If it’s several, you can stack them on a “pack hive” or you’ll have to use a sealed container and use some sort of repellant or fumigant.
Great video. A question if I was to find a frame with a swarm cell on the bottom of the frame do I just leave that cell on the bottom and put that frame in my queen builder box or do I cut that cell off the bottom and reinstall it near the top somewhere near the brood so it will be easier for the bees to keep it warmer Reason I ask is I just done some and I did them like a walk away and I kept them on the bottom because I did not think it mattered after I moved the frame to the builder . I had never heard anyone ask this question so I thought I would be the one to ask it . Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. You can leave the cell in place as long as you put enough bees to cover the whole frame. Sometimes it’s hard to move those cells without damaging them.
@@DysonApiaries thanks that’s what I thought but never heard it ask . Keep up the great work. Thanks
