Please don't think I'm being critical but after keeping bees for a number of years I'll try to give you a few tips. When inspecting a hive I always took out the outside frames on one end first and moved the center ones over. This way there is less chance you can injure the queen. You also do not have to put in brood from another hive to get the new one going. In fact if you 'weaken' the one hive by taking brood the bees may figure the queen is failing and try and replace her. If you have drawn comb to put in the new hive it will boost the new colony because the queen won't have to wait until they draw out the comb to start laying eggs. You don't have to be quite as gentle with the packages too. Trust me I did it the same way you did the first time but after you've put a few packages in you'll be much faster. I always 'misted' the bees in the package with sugar water first, then slammed ( not as violent as it sounds ) the package down to knock the bees to the bottom, then removed the feeding can and queen. Then you simply dump the bees into the hive, set the queen package in between two frames close it up and you're done. They also make a hive tool that has a hook on the end which I found is much better than the standard hive tool. It's only about $7 and works great. I hope this helps and good luck with your hives....
I’m completely new and don’t have an existing hive for brood. This is the most comprehensive video that I have seen so far. Thank you for this!!!! 💛💛💛💛
You are really a good teacher. I am watching this in Canada in 2022 and I gained a lot of knowledge from your practical demonstration. Thank you and God bless you.
Great video nicely explained if you want to anchor your bees open brood is better in larval age the bees will nurse them immediately buy a frame holder it will really help keep it up
thank you brother for this great video im, contemplating doing this for my property I live on 5 acres and was curios as to if you've encountered angry bees my wife is terrified of bees and doesn't want me to get some but I belive it will be a great thing, as we could harvest our own honey later. I wonder how its gone for you since you've made this video. Any suggestions would help thank you.
I got a friend in tenerife and he uses a horizontal hove. To make shure that the queen stays in the lower part he uses a mesh inbetween that the workerbees can pass but not the queen who is too fat to fith through.
I know this video is 4 years old. And you did state you were new at beekeeping at the time. I was wondering why you would start in the middle of the hive to take frames for brood instead of starting on the outside frames first?
There are many parasites, bacteria, mold which are not welcome in a hive.. when you set this frame on the ground.. arent you worried for contaminating the hive?
@@alessandrocrivellaro8283 elevation also helps with raccoons / skunks that will bang on the hive and eat the guard bees as they exit. Elevation exposes their bellies, allowing bees to sting and defend.

Nice info!! You really know your bees?

A good video
I like this video a lot already ..what materials do you need .
To avoid issues with trying to get frames out you should switch to just style hive tool
I got a friend in tenerife and he uses a horizontal hove.
To make shure that the queen stays in the lower part he uses a mesh inbetween that the workerbees can pass but not the queen who is too fat to fith through.
Спасибо. Интересно 🤗
Why is shaking the bees off the funniest thing I've ever seen 🤣😭

Hello video của bạn chia sẻ rất hay thanks

That's why you have to keep them elevated from the ground

Verrora mites are the #1 killer of a bee colony
Arnia è posizionata in mezzo al acqua? 😮😮😮
What if you don't have a brood frame to start?
Make a box with using frames
Always start on the end with least amount of bees.

Just raise bees in kids room or put bees in soda bottle they will make a honey comb

Do those suits actually work?
Bees still can sting him if the bees get mad enough
Just get a good suite
Why do you have your bee hive in a shallow pond?
He mentioned the area flooded & they were new to the are so he would need to move them
I’m 11 I’m getting a hive
No excluder

Keep them there they can drink the water
Keep them there they need the water to drink
They drink water

if honeybees are fed with sugar syrup, it means v r eventually eating sugar.. not organic or natural..
