A great way to get a honey crop from your nucs! Less maintenance, they have plenty of space !!💥🐝👌🏻🤓

Very good organised. Keep up with the good job!

This is a really cool idea. Thank you for sharing!

Excited to see how this goes. Awesome upload.

I've been watching for this video. That a pretty ingenious use of equipment, I've never seen it done with 6 frame nucs like that.

I can't wait to see how this works out! Thank you!

Wow .. impressive quality of professional beekeeping..

As experiment I've run duplex hives as two colonies. They're side by side 4 over 4. 8 deep frames can support a colony. They make honey too. They share supers and dont fight. Might have to do all my hives that way because it works. At first it was nucs that got too big too quickly but after the success I've been trying it more. It makes a lot of things easier for an old beek.

Great idea! Thanks for the video

please show the progress of the honey collection on these nucs later in the season!

Wow, six on six, you are going to have a massive colony with hundreds of thousands of bees.

That is some beautiful land there..

Very good video and informational Thanks

Wonderful video so educational! Cheers!

Olá Ian Parabéns por.seu maravilhoso trabalho. Esse ainda não tinha visto mas sempre fiquei curioso de como fazia. Agora está bem claro.

That’s good stuff so simple.

Now that is slick... I was wondering why 6 frame .. also wondered how you kept them from out growing the box .... they looked super strong ... then I wondered why you didn't use them for honey production.. that's pretty good idea ... there thanks for sharing great stuff

ماشاء الله gamal

So because you put honey supers on top of the double deep nucs, they don't store honey in the brood chamber?

We need folder for multi queen in your channel *_please_*

What is the yellow blooms? Looks like acres upon acres!! Awesome !!

One question do the nucs ever swarm even though they have room for nectar up top?

The yellow field is Canola. In the prairies, can have thousands of acres of it across entire districts. A very significant honey crop producing flower. Question on the multi-queens. Have you ever double queened the main colonies? Results? Difficult to do and manage at the colony numbers you are running now. Just wondering if you experimented with it in the early years when the operation was smaller and what your general experience and thoughts are on such.

Do you have trouble with the bees picking the stronger Queen and killing other or even others very often? I tried it over each other couple times and they always kill top Queen ,this is way better their working together better but does this happen still alot ?

Three different colonies. How do you prevent zqrqr from giving each other zqrqr when you put the main grill and place the honeycombs. Do you use perfume, fragrance, etc. beforehand

wht are the precautions when doing this method with big hives?

Can the queen excluder be place between boxes stacked vertically .? Like a double deep.?

When do you nucs move into standard boxes?

Could this be done with a long hive colony on each end and honey in the center

A question? because they make the decision to use a six-frame hive (double super) and not one of five or four like the Plamer system. Thank you very much for your time and information. Greetings from Argentina

Do you have the diamentions of those 6 frame boxes?

How do you avoid that bees of the 3 boxes fight among themselves?

Neat little system of maximizing the use of nucs. I wonder, do you ever notice any “drifting”? I mean, does it appear that the bees will always go back down into the nuc they started in or do they move to another colony?

Very clever system 👍 What exactly is blooming in this video?

Oh boy, am I glad you made this video. I was interested when you were combining hives over a queen excluder to equalise your hives earlier this season. I have been considering combining my 2 hives with a queen excluder in an attempt to save a struggling hive and give my strong hive more room because they are getting crowded as they continue to expand through our mild Western Australian winter. Is it a bad idea to combine a strong and a weak (but queen right) hive in the winter time? Will they fight, or will they live harmoniously together for the next few months? I've asked a few local beekeepers, but nobody I know seems to have tried this.

Does this change how frequently they swarm in any way?

Where do you get those 6 frame nucs? I couldn't seem to find any.

Do you have any tips on handling and processing this canola honey? A lot of our canola honey crystallizes in the comb. Even if we havest before 50% capped It normally smells like stink socks and most is sold as baking honey. Very low prices. I would suspect we are doing something wrong James

Hy guys. Can you tell me what is in the sprayer? Thanks!

Do they requeen? If a queen in one nuc dies the pheromone of the queen next to them will be strong enough to make them believe the queen is still there.

Howmany Hives can one person manage

Hi Ian . I now your so busy now but I have on question for you is thous covers keep them dry after you covered supers ?

СПАСИБО

👍

Hi. You said before that you re queen 50% of your operation every year. When do you do that. Elardus

No fight between bees from nucks in supers?

what's that yellow crop field?

Why wooden tops instead of metal

No swarming?

Oi amigo esse núcleo tem três rainhas uma em cada núcleo desse ?

Have u ever used multiple queens in a colony by removing the queens mandibles

Здравствуйте. Высота рамки сколько?

I am a beekeeper in bangladesh. seeing this vedio i am confused how can you setup multi queen in the same colony.plz details it.

Which ones do better six or fives on your nukes

Isso é tipo um condomínio?

Do you have the 6 frame nucs custom built?

Must bee no trees out there on the prairies, there is virtually no propolis glueing those things together.

in bangladesh we can setup only 2 box togather.

is that there are 3 queens
