    Black Mountain Honey is a No Nonsense Beekeeping Channel.
    We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
    We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
    Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

    We supply F1 Mated Buckfast Queens throughout the season. These are genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

    We are passionate about beekeeping and really enjoy helping beekeepers through our CZcams channel.
    On our channel you can find information on making splits with swarm cells, making increase with queen cells, grafting larvae, foulbrood and disease inspection, honey extraction and machinery, top tips for beginners, products reviews, instructions and guidance plus much more.
    #NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.
    We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!
    My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

    Only just learnt to do this this year in my 3rd year beekeeping. Will definitely do it in subsequent years. Good tips thanks

      Its a very useful tool but always check for any diseases before moving brood across.

    I think this year I am going to have to keep records during inspections of the number of frames of bees and brood in each hive. A quick excel will tell me which are growing faster and allow me to plan out my resource management for the next visit.

    Great video and very well explained. Especially about not putting bees from the original colony. Keep up the good work 👍

    Hey was just wondering if you can swap one or 2 frames of just brood/honey ''no bees'' from strong 10 frames hive to boost a 4 frame little hive that I started in the summer both healthy,no disease or varroa. I will be swaping on the 26 of septembre.. or is it to late? sugar water starts sunday

      Hey hey me again. What is the cut off date for frame swapping btw?

    Why not add bees with frame of brood, like bob binnie

      We find the bees fight if we do that, even if it's frames of nurse bees. We find this method safer and its the brood that gives you the numbers. 1 frame of capped brood = 3 frames of bees once emerged
