a short documentary on an urban beekeeper
Wheres can i find part 2?
We average over 200lbs per hive in Saskatchewan . Our honey flow is July And August . Running double brood chambers and giving the bees space and stimulation by allowing them to lay in 3 boxes no excluder and feeding non stop fr april to the 3rd week of June . Fall feeding with sucroseand wintering in groups of 4 double deep hives insulated for the long winter of 6 months . Is the magic 🎩 ✨️ .
Thank you for video. Best greetings from beekeepers in Ukraine. But I guess that in a big city even in a green zone it is unsafe for local people fo keep even 2-3 beehives.😮😮😮😮
Where can i find the follow up video? Dont see it on your channel
How is this possible ?
Are you using a screened bottom board?
he should slowly lower the boxes to avoid squashing bees on the edges... hate to see those guys get squashed like that. otherwise great video
How does this not have 1m likes?
Thank you for making a great easy to understand video. Great idea on storage of all your resources on the single broad box.
What is that inner cover for ?
Was the season on when you recorded this video and what is the recipe of your pollen patties?
Good info. Clear and to the point.
I like how you handle the bees but I'm confused about how this is single brood chamber management when you just added a second deep without a queen excluder below it. Thanks
He is essentially turning a single brood chamber into a double brood temporarily to take advantage of the bees strength to draw out comb and fill it with larvae/pollen/honey. Im pretty sure the part 2 video will be to watch for swarm cells and then you would split the two deep boxes up giving each one equal brood like making a nuc, with one box having the old queen and the other allowed to raise the new queen cells. Then you would put the queen excluders back on both boxes and add a super on top of those when they require space to store more honey.
Steve , this is a nice video, is part 2 in the works...
Where is part 2?
It’ll be out this spring. These take time to video and edit and time is short on my list!
Hey Steve, have you ever tried spraying your hands lightly with Honey Bee Gone to see if it keeps bees from crawling on and stinging your hands? Please let me know. I'm trying new ways for gloves other than those cumbersome bee gloves. Thanks.
I have not but that would likely irritate the bees. Generally just lightly smoking my hands before I go in is enough. Move slowly and avoid crushing need and you’ll be fine.
@@meadowsweetbees Thanks.
I'm looking for part 2 and it doesn't exist. I decided to subscribe and watch some of your other videos. I still can't find part 2. I'll unsubscribe and maybe look back to see if you ever complete the next part
Nice....informative.....
More videos
Never saw part two ,just unsubscribed
راك داير شابو غير كيما نتاعي و حاط شبكة فوقه 👍👍 مليحة نستعرف بيك، انت ماغادي تفهم والو بصح ماعليش المهم درتلك جام، تهلا في روحك
Why play music why you are trying to speak. I see this all the time and find I can never heard anything.
I’m a Pittsburgher living in Papua New Guinea. I am a new backyard beekeeper. Thanks for your videos. They are very interested and helpful.
Great information. I enjoyed observing how you work. Thx!
How do i go from 2 brood system to a single ?
are you planning on doing the Part 2 to this video?
I looked also. Nothing. His first presentation was very good. But it doesn't do anyone any good without the next video.
Part 2 will be coming - I’m very busy and it’s tough finding time to put up videos let alone respond to comments. Appreciate you watching !
Ok, I'm in! Very brave. :-)
Hey Steve. I too use a 1 brood box system and I appreciate your part one video. Is there a part two video? My question is when after extracting here in N. Calif. where temps are still in the high 90's, do you take off the honey supers and put the bees that were in the 2 or 3 supers back in the brood box and then treat for varroa and go through the winter in a single brood box?. They are really crowded so there must be a different method. Any help would be appreciated .
He doesn't seem to answer comments or questions from the viewership.
Part 2 is coming! My apologies for not responding - it gets really busy - difficult enough to put up videos let alone reply to comments but I appreciate you watching!
Are you done making uploads?

Excellent documentary, keep up the good work, I do a similar thing here in the UK.
Do you have hives down at the waterfront? I've been trying to find the owner of the apiaries because I'd like to learn more about urban beekeeping
