In this video, I show you how to save a struggling top bar hive by transferring bees from a strong colony. This method is an effective way to give the weakened hive a boost and help it thrive. You'll see how I carefully remove frames of bees from the strong colony and place them in the weaker hive, ensuring a seamless transition. Throughout the process, I'll provide tips and advice on what to look for, as well as common pitfalls to avoid. Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or just starting out, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to save a weakened top bar hive.

A lot of open cells….. if there is no stores or pollen coming in won’t the queen slow down laying?

That's cool they seem like nice bees, how long has that colony been in there?

@aussiebeekeeping Жыл бұрын

Two weeks. They didn’t like the move. This is the well hive I transferred.

What are the small insects running around in the hive?

Could you be at risk of those 3 frames of bees killing the queen in the top bar hive?

@aussiebeekeeping Жыл бұрын

It’s a lesser risk than this hive dwindling to nothing in a few weeks.

Are you feeding sugar syrup at all? I noticed the bright yellow fresh drawn comb, the only time I've seen fresh comb that colour in my hives was when I'm feeding sugar syrup, was wondering if that's what had caused it or something else. I think if your bees have decent forage available they will come good, will just take some time.

Nah not feeding. There is nectar around as some hives have half boxes uncapped. I think when I transferred these guys a couple of weeks ago I left their stores behind. We normally have a flow starting in a week or so.

@aussiebeekeeping hopefully the boost you gave them will allow them to forage the resources they need to expand. It's been a good season here in SE Qld so far.

That’s the plan. Nice to hear.
