Aren’t some of the workers positioned at the entrance where they beat their wings to induce air flow through the hive?

Who sells local nucs? I'm in Lisbon. Bought some hives this year. Most years swarms break from boxes up the road and live in a metal camper on my property. I assumed they would fly back home when, in reality, they probably died over the winter (I did a bit of research). If none make use of the hives, I'd love to know where I can buy local nucs. Any info is appreciated. The NNY Bee Keeper Directory is outdated (Mr. Martin's e-mail bounced back)

Good method, however, no point of making another box to accommodate the frame. Just cut the wax foundation and allow the bees to make queen's cells from such small fragment.

I am a beekeeper from the Netherlands. Cool video. I would like to build my own top bar hive one day, but i am still gathering information on sizes etc. Maybe a small tip: i stopped using the smoker with my bees. All i do now is spray some sugarwater on them with a plant sprayer. suger / water 1:1. They get calm as well as with the smoker.

Hello my beekeeper friend, I have a question for you. Great video by the way. My first hives made it through their first spring/summer with zero SHBs, zero wax moths, and believe it or not, zero varroa!!!!! Yet, it's our fall flow and I know this is the time their rear their heads if there are any. My question: If I do find some varroa and end up having a count that should be treated, what would you recommend if anything. It's a thriving hive. I'm a natural beekeeper like you, and my practices so far is to make sure they have the vitamins and probiotics to stay super strong. Plus its a super hygienic hive. Any info would be helpful. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate you caring enough to allow the bees to make their own drawn comb. I believe it is the building block to healthy bees. Tip for all of us, and I know from experience. If you make sure the hive is perfectly level, and add a true 2 or 2.5" starter strip to the frame, they most always build straight and build faster. Also, if you use wax or plastic I believe it is better than wood starter strips. All the best.

Athamantide Hellè I find early is better as the bees are still slow to be getting busy with their day. Just keep in mind temps as far as brood goes.

@claytonosborn504 жыл бұрын
Great little video NNY Bees. My only critic would be on the second little nuc making queens. You don't have to damage cells to get queens made. Once a colony is queen-less, they will draw out the appropriate cells/eggs/larva all on their own. Sometimes we humans complicate the message, but simply put a queen less colony will make new queens as long as they have the fresh eggs to work with.
@fishmut3 жыл бұрын
Clayton... The purpose isnt just to get queens from doing it with this method but to get a number of queens you might have plans for if you want to build up your colonies, yes the queenless hive will make queens but you dont know how many your going to get , this way you can allow for some losses in the making but you got more of a chance getting queen numbers you want.
