Yes that is true! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

Yes! This is great advice! Thank you!

I use a frame of brood & they never leave. I sometimes put lemongrass oil on a cotton ball & put inside the hive. I'm a SC beekeeper(Uncle Jim's Southern Honey). I recently found your videos & enjoy them.

I’m glad to hear this! Thank you for watching and commenting. :) I think he is funny when he tries to talk in English. Lol.

It's funny of course but I'm much more interested in what he has to say about bees. I'm a new bee keeper or soon will be my packages have yet to arrive.

@@josephwoodall832 That is very exciting! When I first got my bees I was even more pumped! lol. I didn't think I wanted to expand but now I actually do. I'm loving it more than I thought I would. Plus the honey! Yeah, my dad is an extremely good beekeeper, he has a very successful Russian channel, so we are trying this in English. My only hope is that people will understand him. lol.

I've never done it but I'm certain I'm going to like it it could be my retirement job. So keep your father talking lol I want to learn more.

Thank you for watching and commenting! Great tip! :)

Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

haha. Thanks!

Thank you for watching and commenting! You should get one or two!

You're very welcome! We are happy to hear that! Yes you can mark the queens if you like, and many beekeepers do so, which will help you find her better. My dad doesn't mark them because he noticed that the queens get sick easily and don't last as long. So he doesn't risk it. The queen was in the box as we pointed out in the video, something has happened to her later. We have two videos on our channel about how we make our beehives with tons of tips and tricks, be sure to check it out. We buy parts and assemble the hives ourselves cheaper that way, building everything from scratch is very time consuming and not ideal for everyone due to not everyone has the tools our the skills to do so. Buying everything pre-assembled can be very expensive for most so we assemble everything ourselves. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

Anna Kra , thank you very much. This information about knowing the Queen is very important. I will find a way to memorize the Queen Bee of the hive.

Lol. That is interesting! Thank you for commenting! :)

@@AnnaKra I watched several of your videos on bees and enjoyed them all. Thanks for sharing.

We have not. We use the standard hives that are sold here in US. We have no need to make horizontal hives. My dad said it really doesn't matter they both work.

Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

@@AnnaKra Thanks Anna. I was considering the horizontal myself.

KlazyY was the horizontal hive Russian beekeeper a tall thin man? If so do have his channel?

@@romoshka1 I think his name is Dr. Leo---he was born in Russia but emigrated to the US and took up his family's beekeeping occupation and has done a lot of research and touring to advocate better beekeeping practices. Knowledgeable man and quite intense---as are most Russians, eh?

I think my dad is a great beekeeper! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

Yes, it is nice. Thank you for commenting and watching! :)

Oh its my pleasure! I’d be so honored to learn from someone with your fathers experience. I’ve heard Russian beekeepers know their stuff! Have a lovely day!

:)

Yes, that may help, but some new beekeepers may not have the extra frames. Also, this video is filmed to show that this way is possible too. In beekeeping there are always different ways of doing things. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Something happened to the queen, my dad said he may have accidentally killed her when he was moving the hive.

Haha, yes he did! lol. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

I was glad to see that in this video!

You're very welcome! They have enough food for about 3 days after they swarm out from a hive. We highly recommend feeding them with sugar syrup 1:1 ratio with water! In this video, we explain in more detail our hive and sugar syrup set up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9GUorSi0tjJZoU.html You will need to feed them every day for at least 7 days, or more depending on your location. If there is not enough nectar flow around you will have to keep a close eye on them. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

so the cardboard box i had tried to lock the swarm in was enough to last 2 days /48 hours b4 the drilled over 20+ holes out looking to swarm ( i had my kids on school holidays watching em every 15 mins lol ) . luckily i asked a lady i work with whos sister has bee's , within 30 mins a lady was here with a box pre painted as mine was arriving raw and transferred what i had locked away into an empty box she had. the amount they had built in the box i locked them in was amazing and i got to taste some success in the way of a little honeycomb left in the cardboard box that wasn't transferred with them, they had built a lot in that empty cardboard box in 2 days . joel rex foster on facebook and the pic of the swarm i caught is public if ya wanna look. i ended up feeding them the night i'd asked at a 2:1 ratio after a lot of googling and worried i'd starved. they seem to be very happy in there new home, busy working. i love eadilble plants and wanted bee's to help me forage more. sorry for the excitement but having a swarm stop here and then catching em all and locking em up with only air holes i was worried with only 1 persons advice that theyd be ok. by the taste of the honey left in the cardboard box theyre better then ok n will be well worked and cared for :)

Maybe in the future, we will! Thanks for watching! :)

@@AnnaKra I look forward to it! In the meantime, keep doing what you do!

Let me ask my dad and get back to you. Interesting question!

My dad said smoke them out from the bottom even the queen will crawl out and then close the chimney temporarily. If you want the bees you may want to put a beehive next to it so they have a place to go! Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Very soon, you can add them the next day, when the bees are settled in. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

We will be doing a video soon on this topic. Stay tuned. Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

Thanks for watching and the suggestion! At least we know if someone doesn't have an extra old frame on hand that it will still work! Like if it's their very first swarm.

Thanks for watching James!

@@AnnaKra 😊

Thanks for the tips! We try to film things the old traditional way to let ppl know that it can be done even if they don't have lemon grass on hand or special swarm boxes. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

👌🏼

We actually know those tips and tricks. But if the bees get inside the beehive anyway, why use it? Besides, our channel is about affordable beekeeping and tailored towards new beekeepers. When a hive suddenly swarms, new beekeepers may not have all the resources available at hand. People need to know that it will still work without all the other stuff. There are plenty of youtube videos on essential oils. We try to stay simple. This is the most simple way of doing it. I believe we mention that in the video. My dad is traditional I guess, the simpler the better. No need to spend money on essential oils. Thanks for watching and your suggestion.

Is just $3 at Kroger food store and save you a trip up in the tree.I remember teling you to use Lemon grass esential oil a wile ago.Going up in the tree is dangers .Then the lemon grass EO keep them inside( no barbs) ,because it smel like Queen feromonds ,also get them going to work immediately.

@@geanitsucuneli4791 I'm happy it works for you. You should do a video on it!

Too busy for that.I have to make sure my 2000 hives full power ,plus 1000 Nucs are well.Filming takes time ,I have to keep busy ,Me and my Employees,so we have to be up date ,with everything .

Thanks for watching! :)

Lol oh wow! That is a lot. Thanks for watching! :)

Thank you for watching and commenting! :) You should absolutely get some bees!

Thank you for commenting! I’m happy to hear this! :)

Thank you for watching and commenting! :) We have more great videos coming soon. Stay tuned. :)

Crawling on the ground is normal. There could be a few reasons for that. One of the reasons is bees will push sick bees out the hive. Second, when you look inside the beehive it's possible that you may have dropped some young bees. Young bees cannot fly and end up crawling on the floor and eventually die. Third, when bees feel like they are about to die they go outside the beehive. Some of those bees are dying from old age. Unusual buzzing could mean many different things. If the queen is laying eggs, and the bees are flying and bringing nectar than you have nothing to worry about. Thank you for watching! :)

Thank you Anna!

Thank you for watching and commenting! :) I think he is awesome too!

Thank you, Kim, for watching and commenting! :)

Thanks for commenting! Thanks for watching! :)

lol. Thank you for watching and commenting! That is very kind of you to say that! :)

Thank you for watching and commenting! :) That's a great question! I will ask my dad and get back to you as soon I as I can!

My dad is asking if you guys changed your queens? Switched them out for queens from another bee yard further from yours. Your suppose to change all of your queens every 3 years or so, bees may leave to avoid close related breeding. They don’t want to stay because they want to avoid the close related breeding. Hope this helps. Great question! Or You can take your hives to a different bee-yard so the virgin queens can mate with different drones.

Thank you for your answer. We haven't switched out queens due to the fact that our hives are only one plus years. We have had a challenge with mites causing us to loose hives every year. The hive that swarmed came out of a hive that was started from a swarm last year. I like the idea of moving any future caught swarms to another bee yard. Please tell your dad thank you for his suggestions and your relaying it to me. I enjoy your videos. Have a great week

@@SimplyGarden I'll ask him if there are any other reasons and let you know. You're very welcome!

We just do it the fast and easy way. By shaking them into a bucket and putting it in a beehive immediately. We close the top immediately and the rest of the bees come inside the beehive on their own, usually within an hour or two. This saves us a lot of time. Many new beekeepers don't have the extras on hand. So we try to film it in a way where you can get the job done with minimal supplies and minimal expense. Have you seen Barnyard Bees channel? This is a great question for him, he is all about that! Check it out, he actually just posted a new video about swarm lure: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLVxhKmQtq7af4E.html

Вы мне ответили я по английски ноль спосииба за ответ.

Yes, I very much so do off camera, I may take forever tho lol, we are trying to deliver value fast and easy so that we are not wasting anyone's time on camera. But it may be a good idea to film a few videos where my dad is guiding me through the process as a new beekeeper. But then also, we don't have a camera guy to film us. Filming only on a tripod can lead to missing the up-close shots. But we love the up-close shots lol so we're working with what we have. Thank you for your suggestion and for taking the time to comment! :)

You’re welcome.

Oh WOW! They were on a tree branch? or just your driveway? My dad thinks its a swarm from someone's bee yard, swarms can fly a long distance. That is great news for you! Free bees! My dad said to scoop the bees up and put most of them inside the beehive and close the top. Let it sit out there for a couple of hours, once all the bees fly inside the hive you can relocate the hive to where you want it.

@@AnnaKra it's not a swarm or at least I don't think it is they are not clustered they are just in my driveway I looked all over for a cluster and couldn't find one. There are no beekeepers within five miles of my home they must be wild bees. Lol I even picked some up and put them on the landing board they still seem to have no interest in the honey. It was just shocking to find them there because I went out there to build bee hives.

@@josephwoodall832 Yeah that is very odd, my dad said that swarms can fly a far distance... even further than 5 miles. But it's also possible that those are wild bees. I would put them inside the beehive and see how they react. Also, I would try to find their queen, if possible. Once you get the queen in, all of them should go in. Maybe it's a gift from heaven. Lol. It's possible that they may have lost their queen, if so you may need to buy one locally, they are about $25 or $30 bucks, still cheaper than buying a bee package!

@@AnnaKra I'll keep trying it's getting dark and they are still there maybe they are just waiting for the rest to catch up lol thanks for responding so quickly. I'll keep you posted

@@josephwoodall832 You're welcome! Keep me posted! Good luck!
