wow great series of beekeeping vids thanks for making them. you still have the bees going now ?
thank you for posting these bees for beginner videos up 😀
now i wanna start my own beekeeping
I was wondering if you could make a video about pollin catchers and the reason why you may have the use for one. Thanks for all the videos I wish I could come help you start a hive. : P
the summer here in iraq is very hot ,,can i insert more frames to make the hive more larger inspite of hot whether?another question can you tell me is there any difference between plastic frames and wax frame because i saw in youtube some of the beekeeper put a plastic frames instead of the wax made by the bees?
good u most make alot of money as collecting the honey or have a diff job that makes alot, i wish the hive makers would take in cosideration not many teen have the money to start this luckly i have scraped enought money to get a hive next year, amout 300 for hive and bees and then 100-500 for extractors and so on..
where can i buy bees?
Great series, I was thinking of doing it, now I am doing it, Cheers!
K. Thanks!
Possible yes but not the best option. Good chance of getting Africanized bees or worse.
Cool series! Thanks for posting!
Would it be likely for local bees to start a colonie if I would just put up a bee hive?
Way cool, Someday I would like to have my own bee hives!
If you have multiple hives, do you have to seperate them by a certain distance? How much honey does a hive usually provide per year?
thanks man you’ve helped me out a lot.
Seems like if you buy the stuff separate without the inner cover it saves some bucks. Also the un assembled bodies save some money. Their is other suppliers also. For a first timer I’d recommend buying put together frames.
hey I am getting a beginner kit at brushymountain I was wondering if you know where I can ge ta better deal if any. theirs is a bit expensive thanks.
I live in Kosovo and i have a very good place here where i live the mountain with sweet chestnut are everywhere and a lot more food for bees but the only prob. i am afraid is that because the school is around 40 feet away , Thank u in responding me thank u all for those videos
i think if you have them in the backyard that should be fine the bees wont attack anyone so its not like there dangerous to the school children but idk what kinda neighborhood you live in. Where do you live?
Thank u very much ! but the school is near 50 feet but they are already more than 50 feet from my house is that good? and the street is a little bit near them 🙁 but i like bees what u suggest me? thank u very much
Don’t put them in your home obviously. I would put them at least 50 feet away from your home if possible facing away from the house if possible. Bees don’t eat school children so it shouldn’t be a problem near the school.
can someone help me? i need one advice how far from human in my home can i place bees? there is a school near my house can that be a problem ??? thanx for helping me
thanks.
Wouldn’t hurt to order early. A lot of places get backed up quick in the spring. Good luck!
when should I place an order in for a package? a few weeks or months before or would now be good?
Great job!! You did a great job explaining how to set up the box, something I’ve been really interested in for quite some time. Thanks for all the info. Keep up the good work.
very informative, and explained in easy terms…makes it look simple….thank you
All except the “diging bunkers” part anyway! They would fill with water down here.
Thanks for watching.
Dang Dude, youve got beehives, saving gas, planting trees, diging bunkers… you are really doing it my friend. big respect…
Good vid.
Congrats! Good luck with your two new hives.
thanks for the vid, I am 1 class away from graduating “Bee School” and my 2 packages of bees should be here 4/18/09 It looks like you do it pretty much by the book.
Depends on a lot of factors but after being established you can get 30-35 lbs. off of a shallow super. Watch the “honey harvest” video, part 8 and 9 I believe. 🙂
Always enjoy your videos! Curious – how much honey does an average hive produce each year?
great tip about the psych value for security purpose lol
Well done and very straight forward information as always Thank you for providing this info to everyone who wants to better their survival knowledge for free too!
Sure have. Various things can make a colony decide to jet out- wax moth destruction, lack of food, critters getting into the hive, etc. We had a major problem with wax moths last fall. They truly the demon spawn of hell! LOL
great video !! o yeah bees are the best , without those beautiful bees we wont be living now belive me !!
Bee keeping is easy and good for everyone, including the bees that do most of the work pollinating our plants and making honey.
Getting my bees in April, finishing up bee school right now. good vid thanks
Love the bee videos … great and informative. Very helpful. Keep them coming!
I wish we could buy package bees in Australia, but no now Im stuck waiting for spring and a swarm…like 6 months >:-(
thanks for sharing
Another excellent video, thanks for sharing it with us!
Do the hives ever fight?
Have you had a colony decide they didn’t like the hive and leave?
