    Think in that case I would provide a new box for each hive with new frames and try to alternate frames and over about 3 months replace the old hardware with new. some of that bur honeycomb would be good chunks for jars. Also if I found the queen I would restrict her to the new box long enough for that brood to hatch out and so disposal of the old comb would be easier (You can always feed the honey back after crushing and separating the wax)

    I had a 31-year-old Arabian stallion that just died the morning of March the 12th this year, he had been with me for 30 years and I miss him very much, if you would consider naming one of the hives after him I would appreciate, his name is Ramsay

    @melkel2010 7 днів тому

    That was that one you thought might have got robbed out and would be better in a nuc. I recognize the packing you put in there to make it like a nuc. Is that also the one that looked like it was trying to supersede? It could be that queen was at her end if that was them. We learn the most in post mortem. But those boxes were in really bad shape, I think that was the one full of moldy comb you took out. They just had everything against them, and demonstrates for us the importance of keeping up the maintenance on the woodware. You also dated these boxes as back to the 1970's from the flaps on them, you gave them new ones, but these have some providence that would be interesting to learn. I think the big lesson here is that beekeepers are mortal, too and we should plan for a place for our hives for when we pass on and leave instructions for our survivors. It would be great if these colonies go back continuously to the 70's but also these boxes could have just been salvage a few times over as used equipment. Their last owner does seem to have been a new beek, and the decisions to use foundationless shows us a person that did some research, also those slatted bottom boards that the person was trying to give them the best home. The old old old boxes are really enigmatic, a mismatch, since the boxes themselves as new are the cheapest part of the hobby! There's a story in these bees and we'll probably never know. This has been an interesting adventure, so glad the other two are looking like they will pull through. This box was just beat even before you brought them home. Nothing lives forever on this side. I'm sure those girls begged their way into the other hives and served well. ~Peace

    These videos are inspirational but really hard to watch for me. I'm fascinated by bees and the science of it all. But I've got medical conditions that have robbed me of my strength and my heat tolerance. If I had hives, they would probably look pretty much like these because I wouldn't be able to maintain them. At least I can live vicariously through beekeepers like you. Keep up the good work.

    Your uncapped pupae in the last hive are a sign of trouble. The bees will cap larvae. We shouldn't see them in the pupae stage since they don't emerge again until they're fully developed. Also, note how the uncapped brood were in groups, and to a degree, in a line. That's a sign of hive beetle larvae tunneling under the pupae. The adult bees know something is wrong so they uncap the pupae early. I like your nuc idea. That will give them less space to guard against the beetles. Very interesting to watch! Keep up the good work!
