She did not this time.

Fischer’s Bee-Quick.

5 frames in this bait hive

I’ve got two in the woods that need to come out… same kind of box… I’m thinking I may move them and try some way of stacking another box on top… 5 frame vertical hive. I worry about giving hive beetles too much opportunity if I move them out of the bait hive this late in the summer.

Thanks... learning as I go

1 male and 3 females. The darkest one is the male.

@@willmegehee Interesting, I haven't seen females with that dark of a head. I have five females and their heads have a dark color, but not quite that dark. Very pretty ducks though. This breed is my first duck experience, and I love this breed.

They are very fun. They were young still in this video. The male developed dark feathers on his head and curled tail feathers. The girls got lighter feathers as they got older.

@@willmegehee Not surprising. I have seen color changes in my girls, especially after molting. Mine are one year old, so it will be interesting to see how many versions of patterns and colors they come up with. Good luck with your Welshies, they are great ducks.

I have had more swarms in this same box. It just needs to air out good.

That’s all... whipped pure honey.

CluelessBeeKeeping it’s a lot easier to remove than duct tape 😁

@@willmegehee Ya, no kidd'n!

Mark Lowry it’s a lot of fun. I’m way behind this year because I tried playing arborist pruning limbs from a ladder but the bees keep doing their thing. I’ll be able to harvest some honey if I’m lucky but I’ll be glad just to keep them all going and healthy. Keeping it on the ground....

@@willmegehee -- I hope you healed up quickly and got to harvest some honey. I managed to get a nuc in July and I'm getting them ready for winter. I also built a horizontal hive and a mini hive, and I have two packages of bees on order for the spring.

Mark Lowry all healed up now, thank God. I haven’t done much with bees this year though. I need to regroup this winter. Our bees are doing well enough. They will do their thing and survive if they have what they need.

If you are going to start, don’t follow this guy !

Way too long... a few months. I kept say I’ll get to that tomorrow.

Ainhoa Jauregui hi! I added the frame with eggs and brood at the end because I knew I did not have the queen. They raised a new queen from the new frame with eggs and brood. However, if you leave the comb in the structure like your neighbor wants then you will likely see roaches and other bugs later. They will be after the honey and dead brood left behind. When possible it is best to remove the comb but a trapout is better than exterminating the bees any day. If you don’t get the queen with the trapout then you can add a new queen. Leave the new queen in the queen cage for several days and they will usually accept her.

@@willmegehee yes.. I know, and I'm trying to explain them that even if they don't want to make a hole in the wall now to make the things right, finally they are going to need one to clean al the mess and insects... But meanwhile, I'll try saving the bees before he kills them. Thank you for the answer!

Ainhoa Jauregui good luck and may God bless your efforts!

Sarah Hayes good point. I did that recently and it did work well. Thanks!

I did. Used a q-tip with lemongrass oil on each end and just tossed it through the front door.

Tom Outdoors swarms always seem to sneak up on me. Good luck with swarm catching in the UK! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Struggling Beekeeper Mark Cottrell thanks! This is one of two that I’m aware of. I haven’t checked some older traps in the woods lately. I have some that have been up for several years and the tree growth has destroyed at least one box by pulling the ratchet strap tight.

SeedsandArrowsFrontier I need to get back over there and bring them home. I left them onsite because the landowner said it would ok to let them winter over there. His Peaches are probably done blooming at this point. Definitely easier to bushog with them gone. Thanks - God is good!

SeedsandArrowsFrontier thank you! I will stop by. I haven’t made any videos lately... thought I’d try limb pruning from a ladder without a harness and ended up with 8 broken ribs and a broken vertebrae so I’ve been chilling instead of dealing with hives. I’m half way through recovery and able to do small things but still way behind with bees. All things considered I can walk and that is a blessing from God 😁

Chocolate Box Cottage thank you! I’m behind schedule this year but I’ll catch up.

Black Mountain Honey thanks! About half have picked up swarms.

That's a really good hit rate! Great work

Black Mountain Honey it helps to move them after they take up residence... I’ve overwintered a few of them in the bait hive.

@@willmegehee yes. That's a good tip. I tend to leave for around a week or two and then move into a full size hive to reduce the rate of absconders

Apparently you've never been chased by a Water Mocassin...some of them are very aggressive.

@@lloydtackitt-7prc598 Sorry! for every rule there is always someone that didn't read the rules. LOL! Yes, there are 3 snakes that will do that! I have Never run from a snake! YET!

Elizabeth Sansom that is Bee Quick that I sprayed on the cover. Bee Quick is used to make bees leave a box of honey so you can remove the box without bees. In this case I used Bee Quick to encourage the bees to leave the bait hive.
