Shot Gun Hive Inspection
Переглядів 297Місяць тому
I'm doing an Inspection of the hive I got down from the tree with the use of my #shotgun. The virgin queen returned back mated and is doing very well. I had to add a box for them to expand into, because of all the brood she has but into the hive. Check out her great brood pattern also, I'm glad i was able to catch and save this hive. #howtokeepbees #beekeeping #brood #hiveinspection #nature #be...

I had a swarm about 30 feet up in a tree with no way to reach them, so I did it before so why not again, I brought out the #12guage and the #buckshot and got them to come down lower where I could reach them from the ground.
WOW I just destroyed their hive. #beehives #nature #swarms #howtokeepbees #beekeeping #bees

Found a small swarm had moved into a empty hive and when i went to open the top, the freshly made comb was to soft to handle the movement and fell. I had to save what I could. #howtokeepbees #beehives

Does appear to be more productive than most ... It even looks better thany Better Boys are looking this year.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him....maybe you can hire Elmer Fudd. But he's not very good.
Wow if there are that many on the outside I can't imagine how many are inside the hive! Impressive!
Looks like a lot of full hives, hope there full of honey. Thanks for sharing
I check a few hives and the are getting plugged out , gonna have to spin some out and put them back on. We having a really heavy flow this year. Thanks for watching.
Wow!
I hate to see this summer 🙄🙄 when the honey and wax starts melting into the hives OMG what a mess.. I'am going to stay cool too. The bees can leave to fine a cooler spot as well. They will always come back> ITS THE " EL NINO " WEATHER CONDITION 👀👀 or should i say HELL WEATHER CONDITION 🔥🔥 Where going to burn up this summer > Gardens will fail too
When you create queens, do you complete it by AI?
No I wish i was that for along , just doing open mating for now.
It's a good year for honey bees this year so far. Let's fill all our brood boxes to rocket into winter. I know it's early. Good luck everyone.
I think this is going to be my biggest honey harvest ever. Thanks for watchinging
Looks like mine from the humidly
Your gona have a mess if you don't get busy.🤣Blessed Days Brad...
Bro that’s a lot of bees 🐝
Thanks for sharing Brad. Going to be a good year for honey.
You’re gonna be busy!
Yea, beeing able to leave or go vacation for a few weeks and not have to worry about the bees, was a very big attribute for me. WOW, you got a pretty big apiary going on. Have a Great day Brad. 😎🐝👍
Brad, I predict all of your hives need 1 or 2 supers!
Work time!!!
Work call!!!
🤣Shorts and shoes with now socks, you Southern beekeepers are nuts.🤔oh wait Canadian Brad beekeeps in shorts too.😂Blessed Days Brad...
kajuns and canadians are related from back in the day. LOL Not all of us like the cold so we came back to the swamp😅
Look at all those clovers, I bet your girls like those. Hold on to those genetics that's a nice aged Queen. 😁Nice splits.👍
Hey Brad! I don’t see how you guys can do that while wearing shorts. Nice video!
thanks for watching, I wore pants today it was cloudy and the bees were extra spicy
Thank you Brad for sharing.
thanks for watching buddy
I thought you got mail! When I saw those snorts. 😂
👍
Thanks for watching buddy
Crazy Awesome, so many natural queen cells. How did you know that one was about to hatch ? Have a good Memorial day weekend Brad 😎🐝👍
They will thin out the end of the cell for the queen to come out easy. thanks for watching
Nice good and good splits!
thanks Tom
Nice job. I have some I need to do the same thing with. I’ve already built up more hives than I want so probably going to let them just do their thing.
Thanks for watching.
I give you credit for wearing shorts! I don't think I could do that while working the bees. You mentioned they never swarmed. Do you think they made those simply because she was getting old and they wanted to replace her? Great video! Take Care!
I was thinking that also ,cause they did have one in the center of the frame but most of them were on the bottom like swarm cells, thanks for watching .
Thanks for sharing bud
👍👍👍
Forget mini splits. Go bee splits for indoor comfort 😂
Some love the plastic frames, but I hate the flex in them. Looks good overall!
Cool stuff
Thank you
🤣You should name that Queen "BuckShot."😂Morning Brad.👋
Awesome
Bees going from shotgun apocalypse to thriving colony lol
I know right. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the show 😊
Thanks for watching
That is looking wonderful ! More shotgun please lol.
Thanks for watching Mike, hope your bee season goes great.
Seeing you shoot a swarm out of a tall tree, with a shot gun, is still the craziest thing I've seen on an American beekeeping channel. You got style Brad. Kajun Style.🙃🤣 👍
Thanks my friend . take care
Wow that queen is laying well. Making fast work of it. Looks good. Take care
Thanks for watching Gary.
Well ok
Thankyou
Bees are so Smart.
People could learn a lot about team work from bees. swarm season magical
Nice ready to see the queens!
Cool
🤙🏻
Oh my gosh they look so cute, congrats. My dog is still pregnant but congrats infinite times. I knew my liking and subscribing would help so cute🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Thankyou so much, all went very well and they are doing great. Thanks for watching.
@@KajunHomestead ❤️👍
I use chicken leg bones (after I eat them).
Gonna swarm anyway.
She had enough of you and said BYEEEE
