Thank you! Your superchat is my first and I really appreciate it!

That may have been my fault since I was behind the hives I didn't leave him many choices. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Haha! I probably should have moved it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

I was surprised to find it in the shape it was too. I am really glad it wasn't in worse shape but we prepared for the worst. The bees are amazing and that hive is still alive and doing well the last time I visited. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks for commenting.

It was the first time he had ever been in a hive of bees. We all have to start somewhere.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

It's not a race, we were going through a hive with 7 years of propolis and I was teaching a first time beekeeper. We achieved our goal for that day. Beekeeping is enjoying so we went slow and enjoyed the process.

Thank you and thanks for taking the time to comment.

The split was too small to survive but we were able to split them this year and there are now 2 hives. Unfortunately he has taken a new position so access to the hives is currently limited.

I think with all our inspections we only saw 2 small hive beetles, but we did see wax moths at one point. It may just be a combination of all the things you listed. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

It can feel a bit overwhelming at first but it is an exciting hobby that will keep you on your toes! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Luckily missed it this time around! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Folks get into bees for different reasons. I think the question was about honey but his real excitement is with the biology of the bees.

ua-cam.com/video/52HZ6zg4Ie0/v-deo.html I have put out one more video on them and we did get in them one time after this. The last time I had a chance to look at them (but not inspect them) they were both alive. If I am able to get in them again I'll be sure to share. Thanks for watching!

I have not. If you place some wax on top of the lower edge of the paper towel as it melts it sort of seals the paper towel to the bottom. I do sometimes I get honey that flows through the paper towel but that can be cleaned up in a final rendering. I made a video about that and showed some of the candles we make and that process too.

They did not survive. The split was not strong enough. We were able to make another split this year though and last I saw they were both still alive.

I agree some seem to do it more than others. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

We are in West TN. We have to protect the plants in the winter to get them to bloom. They require 14 months of no killing frosts to bloom.

@@BrianCooper901 that banana tree looks amazing. I grow them for customers in their landscapes here in St. Louis.

Yea, sorry if I mislead you with the title! Thanks for watching DC

Thanks for watching!

I don't have a lot of space so it's not huge but it works well for me. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

My initial rendering is just the solar wax melter then the pour through the filter. I still have some in the solar wax melter I can try to catch that part of it. Thanks for watching Phillip!

There is a good chance they swarmed several times, but this is probably like having a hive in a tree with a good size cavity. We are lucky enough to have them not too far from us so hopefully we are getting some of their genetics in our bees. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Oh yea! I do the teaching and he can do the learning and lifting!

Good input! I agree and I see it in my videos (especially while editing!) I do find it hard to find time to do it in more than one take and just try to clean it up in editing. I'll work on it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks for your kind comments! We do take time to be sure we are neat and clean so our customers can enjoy our honey as pure as it can be. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

I can feel the edges of the frames and any bees I may be about to pinch. I really like them and the bees don't seem to think they are skin so they do not sting them unless I accidentally press on one too much when moving the frames around. I like that I can discard them and not have propolis on everything when I finish too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

If you used it for that I would find a way to submerge the bucket in soapy water. If you use a straight shop vacuum the force is usually so strong it kills them, that's why we have to go through the efforts to reduce the suction so we don't harm the bees. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Bill Thanks for taking the time to watch and the kind comments. He currently does not have a channel but I will pass along your message. He now has a hive at his home so he may be able to do that.

It was odd that this was the only hive like this! We haven't had much of a SHB issue the rest of the year. They are present but not overtaking any hives.

Thanks again for commenting!

Great tip thank you!

It is a pretty awesome colony! We found no mites but I do believe it swarms often. Thanks for watching!

That was all the work of the new beekeeper. He's got quite the green thumb. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You are braver than I am! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share!

@@BrianCooper901 ❤️❤️ it was a pleasure. I got a couple of shorts on here where I took off the bee suit. My husband thinks I’m nuts but really I was just hungry. 🤣🤣🤣

Well I have been beekeeping 4 years and all I know is what I was told by the person that works there. I think it being on the roof may be helping prevent rotting. There were several frames that were very dark and one that was broken. I was expecting worse too. Thanks for commenting.

Mr. Ed is quite the beekeeper! I'm sure this setup will work good for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

We were glad to see they weren't too bad. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I'll try my best to explain in a little more detail as I do future videos. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

They are very impressive!

@@BrianGenX75 no problem, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

@@BrianGenX75 yea they seem to be able to survive without much input.

@@BrianCooper901 still appreciate your education on them! Super interesting. Hugs sir!

@@suzanneguiho4882 they are incredible! They may have swarmed or even died out but another swarm may have found it and that hive was still going!

@@BrianCooper901 I am sure that they have swarmed. Could be that there were dead outs but more came. That is their normal cycle of life especially with varoa threated bees🤷‍♀️

No problem! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

If there is not a honey flow on the bees could come back and try to rob that honey out of the frames. This also gives us some distance so the bees can fly back to the hive and not be confused if the box was too close. I hope that answers your question. If not let me know.
