Thanks for watching!
Try putting some bat boxes around your beehives. The wax moths can be active at night when the bees are in the hive, and the bats can eat the moths and keep the population down. Wax moths actually have super hearing so they can hear bats doing their echolocation So even if the bats don't eat them, the moths are scared away by the noise bats make. Here in GA they use huge bat boxes i the pecan groves, becuase one of the main pests was a moth that laid eggs in the nuts. But now the bats help keep them in check. They'll also help control the moths that attack a lot of garden vegetables.
My first thought was bats 🦇🦇🦇
Ah yes b a t s
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
@@Fit4C Please, keep your superstitious fire and brimstone mumbo-jumbo to yourself. No one asked bro. chill.
@@Fit4C We were somewhere outside of Barstow on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.
Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals!
No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough.
Man you guys are approaching almost a million subs! So awesome! Congrats! When I first found you guys I think there was only 100 thousand something. A true testament to all you guys hard work and entertaining vids :-)
Absolutely love your family and this lifestyle! I know it’s probably harder than you make it look but beautiful and rewarding I’m sure! ❤️ the honey looks sooooo good 😊 yum
Im so sorry for your loss. 😢 that is so heartbreaking.
Such an easier and cleaner way to harvest honey! Will definitely be looking into replacing my two standard hives for flow hives! Thanks for the video! 🐝 🍯
I look forward to watching your videos on bee hives. I was thinking about adding a hive to my farm that we have recently started.
I used to live in Hawaii! Beautiful place! We had a bee hive built within the walls of our hot tub. Needless to say, we kept the hot tub turned off until the beekeeper came. He gave me a HUGE portion of the honey comb. OMG it was so damn delicious. I kept the comb in my fridge and every so often when I needed a sugar boost I would take the honey comb out of my fridge and lick it like a lollypop! It was so damn good! I love bees so much! I used to be afraid of them until I saw these 2 young children, at the community gardens where I was growing veggies. I saw these 2 very young children pet the bees. I was like....huh? These 2 children taught me something very valuable. They told me that the bees won't hurt me because they knew that I was the waterer! And guess what? These 2 young children were right!!! I stopped my fear and I soon developed a friendship with the bees who were my great pollinators! Wow.....YES, sometimes adults can learn from children! I have NO fear of bees anymore! Wasps...YES, Bees.....NO! I love bees and I love children! Thank you kids for teaching this adult to not be afraid of bees!!!!!
Always wanted to try a flow hive!! Do another vid on spring setup!
If you plant some lavender plants you'll get purple honey depending on how the bee's feed from them, also bee's really are attracted to purple flowers.
Also kudzu flowers
@@mohdowais4647 yup bee's love purple flowers.
it would be like red-ish pink? wouldnt it
How many lavender plants would you have to do?
You and the family are such lucky Wonderful people and I absolutely love following you guys and imagine myself living like you is just a peaceful thought.
Yes, flow hives work, welcome to the club :) Flow-Supers are my wife's favorite honey gathering method. I hope you have a great winter and fantastic 2022! Your chickens will love those waxworms.
Bless you, thank you for sharing with us.
Sorry about the losses! Are you treating for mites? Next year when the Flow super is totally full of honey, make sure you only push the key in about 1/4 of the way for each turn. Let that finish draining and then push it another 1/4 of the way. If you do the entire frame, lots of honey will overflow out the bottom and will make a big mess and might drown some bees.
I absolutely love your videos. Watching all of them and liking them from New Jersey 😍😍😍😍😍
can we have a moment of silence for the green and white hive.
god bless us and the bees
thanks
May you and yours have a good Thanksgivimg.
these wax moths don´t kill whole be colonies. It seems like the bees vanished (for whatever reason) and the moths took over. A healthy strong bee hive would never end this way. The moths are awesome food for chickens :)
I love watching ur vids it’s pretty relaxing
If you add 2 brood boxes under your flow hive once the bees build in numbers you’ll be harvesting it every week to 2 weeks have it ready to put on in spring and it’ll stop them from splitting
Add a few months or weeks before winter? When would you say is the best time to add?
@@BassBaddie you shouldn’t add brood boxes before winter only in spring if you live in areas that ice up in winter you should remove the second brood box and supers in autumn so they can keep their hives/queen warmer in a more confined living space I live in a warm temperate zone so I leave my supers and second brood box on all year round and do 2 inspections one leading into spring and one in autumn to keep check on the health of my bees unless I suspect something is wrong with a hive then I’ll do an extra inspection on that hive by usually only 2 inspections per year otherwise if you constantly do inspections on your hives it can take them up to 2 weeks to get back to where they were pre inspection hope this helps.
One hooman yack! Is other chicken 12 star dinner.😂
For some reason harvesting honey from a hive is so, so satisfying
That looks good
4 sons 😂🤣so cute!
God bless all ovyou!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
This video was posted on my b day! :)
My son loves your videos
so cool!
Aww your new kid is the cutes baby in the world
12:44 'I want to try again' cunning boy. 😁
Joey is so cute!
😂 the white warms scared me for a sec
I have 10 flow hives. 3 years now. Just wondering when the plastics will go bad from sun rot..other than that I love them and harvesting honey is easy as can be.
What happens to the wax though? How does it filter all that stuff out?
@@mamsy1169 the only way is what they cap it off with. You will occasionally get some wax in the honey but very rarely, just like you would get trace amounts of wax with the traditional method.
@@1992pv so does turning the key thing like just squeeze it out?
We love the Flow Hive, now we just have a single as its more just a simple family hobby.
When bugs ruin my garden projects I get great satisfaction feeding them to my chickens.
That's what I was thinking. Take all those larvae and give the chicks a treat! :)
“I wanna try it again” Putting your hand in the cookie jar son
I think those flow hides are the way to go. I also saw that you can add a bottom box or two. I really like that idea. Somyou can still collect the wax to make chopstick and beauty products. So I really think I’m going to invest in one of these.
thank you for using an Australian invention, the flow hive
I agree + vouch
Hello
You have chosen a hard life, but its pleasure is worth all the hardships
I also have a farm in Iran and I work very hard for low-cost livestock
Sir i used to keep honey bees, i had 16 boxes unfortunately we lost all don't know what happened to them same disease hurt tjem as you shown on vedio, i love your boxes how i get that,
the day u uploaded this it was my birthday :)
I love honey.

Great video 👍
If you’re early and see this have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving 😊
darker honey is richer and more flavorfal also it depends on what they harvest from for example buck wheat gives the darkest honey that im aware of
Me gustar ver tus videos por son muy educativos y tienes una familia muy hermosa y una companera amiga socia que te apoya con los ojos cerrados bendiciones 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Better for the flow frames to open them and close them in 1/3rds. Insert the key 1/3 and twist to vertical, then 2/3 then all the way. Opening the frames in parts reduces the stress on the frame and they open better too.
I’m very clueless when it comes to bees
Are these hives dying because they’re too big for the smaller colony to defend? Seeing other keepers keep them in nooks until they’re a good amount bigger but I’m not sure if that’s why
Cool video
I really like wacht your video's
I am so sorry for you're green and white hive I hope th next two are good
Honey= nom nom nom
Loves from Germany 🇩🇪
Yay new video!
nice channel entertaining and educational
Thoughs larva are so cute 😍 (I'm wired that way as in I love insects)
Poor Uriah 🤣 why is he not testing the honey? Also you could’ve fed that moth larvae to your chickens… they’ll appreciate it 😂
Uriah doesnt like honey, they mentioned it at the start of the taste testing bit.
I was also surprised the cats went for the larvae before they could get them down to the chickens and other birds.
Any larvae will make chickens happy so you dont have to waste them. I'm sure you have, but keep reinforcing that it is not part of being a "good brother" to let the baby lick honey from your spoon or fingers. Unpasteurized honey is not a safe food for infants. I took care of an infant with honey botulism and it is not something I would ever want to see again. But I sure enjoy seeing the smiles on the older kids.
FYI I can no longer eat unpasteurized honey due to the pollen content. I had major asthma attacks until we figured it out. So I get my honey fix watching at least 5 bee channels every week.
I think if any of the larva escaped or weren’t eaten it would have the possibility of another wax moth invasion
2:03 OMGsh, that little face!! 😍
I was wondering if you ever saws the CZcams vidio on bottle bee keeping. It might be a good experiment.
Bottle to bottle honey making by Advoko
now i want some honey lol
Man you realy have 4 kids?
Cute baby
Myself and a friend both have flow hives and have had them for over two years. Bees do not go up into the plastic frames in the flow honey super. Have tried putting honey , burr comb and propolis on these plastic frames. They come and get it but then go back into the bottom. We tried putting a couple of wax foundation frames in there and they did not touch it. When we removed all of the plastic frames and replaced them with regular wax foundation ones they then come up as normal. Plastic must out gas and bees avoid it. Failed for us.
Ay Love You Videos😃
This guy is underrated he litteral keeps a soon to be endangered bug.
What bug
@@SudyCrumbz I know it’s late to answer this, but the bee population is dropping. I’m my area we were instructed to plant gardens and not to use weed killers on our lawns to allow bees to grow and reproduce easier.
@@missydelcoglin4087 you'd think I'd know that by now but thanks ig? 💀
How do you have Australian and protected species ?
There was a queen cup in the white hive I saw it in the footage
have you tried eating honey with wax ? my familly likes to eat it, well not eat but chew on it just like chewing gum to get the honey out
Congrats on 800k!
Thank you 😊
Brother where did I can get these flow hives
The whole farm is your personal land
Yep 👍🏻
The video quality is increased very good 👍 quality and details
Double dipping.
Lovely. And delicious. ❤️
? Queen Excluder
On the Flow Hive ?
Is it below the second super ?
Or is it directly below the Flow Hive Chambers ?
Else Bee larve in the Flow Hive Chambers equals larve in the honey at extraction .
nice
Q: can Flow system be used for Japaense honey bees as well?
We just baught a farm in indiana 60acrs.

Langsworth you can't beat
I have 20 flow hives not as good
Have fun
God Bless
honey
I am new to this channel
So sorry to hear about the moths! ICKY!
Yay 33seconds up
Wow, the flow of the honey is so smooth! You and your family take such good care of the farm and as an animal lover, i greatly apprecitae this! This is why im subbed to this amazing channel 👏👏
Thank you ❤️
@@whitehouseonthehill 😊👍❤
@@whitehouseonthehill your family is amazing, i can't wait those boys to grow up and help with really heavy chores since i know you raised them, you guys are the best parents, therefore those boys and a little girl will grow up strong, God bless you guys 💝
If you fed the bees sugar water then your “honey” is not true honey. It’s good to help the bees get through the winter but it’s not what you want to take for yourself.
@@whitehouseonthehill I hope you feed the bees some sugar syrup so they don’t starve during the winter
R.I.P White and green hives
love to try some of your honey, nice on toast
I am SO impressed by how much you have learned about bee keeping since your first hive and I've learned a lot by following your videos. I had no idea that moths would wipe out a hive like that, you'd think the bees would be able to fight them off, but clearly not. The Flow hive is really cool! I saw your previous harvesting video and wow! What a difference!
Yeah! They did great increasing their production in there!
@@whitehouseonthehill if you leave the queen excluder on during winter the queen may die ... if the bees move up the queen will be left behind
Moths can’t kill a strong colony, this colony would’ve already been too small or weak and the moths were just the last stressful nail in this colonies coffin
Actually you don’t need to open the hive for you to understand that it has a problem just looking at the entrance and the movement of the bees in and out you will have the whole picture, thank you 😊
How does the flow hive work
Rip white hive and green hive
Wait why are you harvesting the honey now how do you need that to survive?
no man, i loved the white hive :(
Why didn't you feed the Moth larvae to the chickens?
8:20 what's the point? why is a normal centrifugal honey pot not used? and reuse of frameworks
Watching ur Videos relives my stress ♥️✌🏻
Love from India ♥️🇮🇳
Awesome 😊
@@whitehouseonthehill 😍😍♥️
This is awesome!!
Let's go been waiting forever for this. So cool 🇦🇺
