One thing I really like about bee keeping is everyone you meet are just bee keepers .. they're not male female black white Asian .. they not Russian American Canadian European all that goes out the window were all just bee keepers .. common interests goals all working for the greater good don't really find that anywhere else. Get so sick of all that profiling labeled as this and that. Not sure if that makes sense but that's how I see it .. were all bee keepers ..

Great video, Bruce! There was no reason based on my watch history the KZfaq algo should have placed a beekeeping video on my FYP, back in 2015, so it must have been Divine. I spent the next 2 years watching every video, reading books and took a few courses from Penn State, before I felt I was ready, and then 3 years in, my local gov made me get rid of my bees, which totally devastated me. Now after a couple of years of looking for someone willing to give me space, I am finally back at it with 4 packages and 2 nucs coming in June. I've started my own YT channel to document and share my experience and hopefully help and inspire others. I definitely learned from some of your earlier videos, like how it's not a great idea to pack your hives into a mini van, LOL. Anyway, sorry for the long comment, I am so excited to be back at it again. Thank you for everything you do.

Oh yea... beekeeping is difficult at first, especially when getting a mentor isn't an option. Its still possible, but you REALLY gotta to your research, KZfaq gave me a way to learn from people like you Bruce and many of the ones you mentioned. Even when you get enough knowledge to get started, implementing it is a whole other matter. Perseverance is key! Lost all my hives on my first year, but looked up what I did, realized where I messed up, bought some new hives the next year and ended with more bees than I started with. To all new beekeepers out there: Keep at it, learn from your mistakes, put in the work and you can have as many thriving hives as you want. 🙂

You are absolutely right. Beekeeping is tough when you try to do things organically ... no treatments or minimal treatments. I think just as everything else those days are long gone if you want to be successful. Having friends who do beekeeping is also very important. We've learned so much by bouncing ideas and issues off of each other. Sadly I gave up because I didn't have the time or the patience and mostly because I didn't want to treat my bees. I think looking back I wish I had done what it took to treat the bees and keep them healthy just as I do my pets. It's an investment, but they are extremely important to our way of life. The honey straight from the hive is a plus too. Good luck to all who get into it and succeed. I still may give it another go eventually. You just need time and that's precious this day in which we live. Make time for what's important and you'll be much happier.

I have one or two boys living on my coconut / banana farm on the island of Mindanao. Equipment is pricy in the Philippines. There are three Apis species in the islands; A. Dorsata, A. Melifera and A. Cerana. Apis Cerana is the more common honey bee in Asia and is kept in a Pile Hive setup in Japan; A. Japanica? I was thinking to have comfort hives mane from wooden pallets and bamboo skewers. 11x11 inches and similarly tall, I think these would be about the correct size for an 10/11 yo boy.

This is my second year, so the first year I did not touch anything being they needed everything to build all their "natural drawn comb and nest." So this year, the numbers are huge, but they have not touched my supers? Why? Is our nectar flow not strong enough yet? When does your spring/summer nectar flow start and end? Any suggestions?

I do not have a lot of experience with flow hives. They are a different animal entirely. I can’t remember where you said you are from, but if you north you may just be hitting the flow. If the population is huge then they should start to work the flow supers.

Hi If you where approached by a commercial honey producer to manage there hives . How would you structure your pricing?
@brucesbees9 ай бұрын
I really am not sure. I do manage a few hives for a friend. And we just worked out a price of what we thought was fair. He purchased the original bees and equipment and I keep the hives full of bees, replace equipment as needed, and drop the honey off in buckets at his house. He pays me in January for the entire year. Has worked well for me. As far as managing a comercial person’s colonies you would just need to work it out with them. I have no idea. Would just have to sit down with them and see what their expectations were and work out something that is agreeable to both parties. Make sure you are making enough to for it to be worth your time and effort.
