I am very interested in your "Bee" journey. I find them fascinating. Your Mentor is great. So patient and so willing to share his knowledge. You are very fortunate to have such a caring person. Loraine, you may be forever known as the "Crazy Bee Lady". :)

That was great to see a novice doing this. Most videos just show experts so it was great to see someone trying to learn how to do basics like hold the frames. Great job Lorraine!

Putting a swiffer pad, no chemicals just the dry pad inside the lid will trap 🪤 hive beetles and allow the bee’s to easily walk over it. HTH ❤🐝

Learning use your j hook hive tool hold it horizontally with the blade down and then use the blade to pry sideways to break the frames loose and use the j hook on the other end to raise the end bars up so you can grab them.

So interesting. So much to learn! I would put rock down around the hives and maybe an easy shade built to put up on really hot days. I know someone that put theirs on pallets screwed the hives down to them so wind doesn’t knock them over. Great job! What a fun new project. SAVE THE BEES 💗

@pegbayless Жыл бұрын

You’re doing just fine, Lorraine! Each beekeeper is new and starting at learning at some point, be patient with yourself and trust your need! With a good mentor and increasing experience, you’ll soon feel very comfortable and confident. ❤

@TheJoyfulMom Жыл бұрын

So fun! He seems like a great mentor! One thing you might want to invest in is a frame perch. We used one in our bee class so I bought one for my hive. It hangs on the edge of your hive when you open it and you can place frames on it to hold it instead of setting it on the ground.

I found this video really useful Thankyou. I have just packed my bees down for the cold winter to come here in Melbourne, Australia and I have never really cleaned up the frames before to make it easier to inspect and to get the frames nice and close together. I did this today and hope that it will make things much easier going forward. Thanks so much for this tip.
