Can't believe how calm these bees are. Also can't believe this guys is doing this job without gloves O.o
Happy anniversary to you both xxx
Very very interesting, I just got some bees 5 days ago, and am learning a lot from whating your videos, thank you.
Hey Bee Boys. Have a look at making a 'Bushkill Beevac' style box. Sounds savage, but it is much nicer for the bees.
Basically just a base with the bee inlet pipe, then a normal 8 or 10 frame box with frames on that, with a lid that has the vacuum suction into the top, and which also can be removed for ventilation once done.
There's a few videos around on them. Have a look into it.
The bees can occupy frames straight away, therefore it is much more convenient for transferring them later. Just grab the whole box and place it on a hive base and slap a lid on.
Also, because the lid is ventilated, they can stay in there for a day or so comfortably. Makes transporting them not as much of a rush. Them having frames to climb on also helps as they don't bundle up on each other and overheat as much.
Do i dare ask how your anniversary dinner went considering it looked late when you finished?
I can’t get enough of your videos and your amazing personality 😃
Happy anniversary and here’s to many more years of happy marriage to you and your Mrs!
Thanks for the laugh
You're welcome ;)
Pretty nice effort to save this crew of bees!
Happy 33 Anniversary!
Goodness only 50 years old you should be full of life wait till you get 80 wow
Good thing you had Mick Dundee's "you call that a Hive tool, now this is a hive tool" to reach down into the nest.
That joke Hilarious
Cracking joke , we are quite amused👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great event that came good towards the end. Well done.
27:50 And meanwhile the bees are thinking, "Close the door! Were you raised in a barn?!"
Looks amazing how first termites hollowed the tree then it looked like a European wasp nest was at the very bottom and then the bees must have moved in last. Nature is nuts
Gave you a thumbs up from the UK. I'm jealous - your session is just starting, and ours is over.
Happy anniversary.
At 25:40 I think I saw a snake leaving the scene. Looked like a viper with a diamond shaped head, look at the right side of the frame. Love you guys, always a good laugh.
A voltage regulator will help you out a lot
33 years :)
The comb has to go into the frame the right way up, cut it if you like but all cells are on a slight angle upwards, failure to do this will result in the larvae drowning in their food
glad someone else noticed too, hes got them all 90 degrees the wrong way :/
I would suggest this applies to the non capped brood. In a cut out like this not everyone can manage and accommodate the whole nest, so you really want to catch the queen, manage the capped brood and resources. Unfortunately, there is going to be some casualties' in a rescue
@@Dstick1Spearfishing The bees just don't like it, it is foreign to them and will tear it down brood or not, it is a similar thing in wild colonies where they reject fallen comb to the bottom of the hive
What brand of beesuit is that? Looks great.
John this should have been published on Oct 31st LOL. Polar Bear with chainsaw attacks your home LMAO. Bees worldwide and everywhere would have been having heart attacks watching that ... I so laughed through out the video, you guys should get a subsidy for giving people positive mental health therapy. Sent you a link last video for a more positive vac tool. Loved this video, just rehomed two colonies tonight. I have 6 swarm traps out, and two queens decided to arrive and take up residency in-between 6 viable homes. I'm like this is why "Yes" is the best answer ever after you get married and also for when you start looking after bees.....
Happy Anniversary!
You don't worry about cell orientation when placing in the frame?
Orientation is supposed to be critical for the survival of the brood and for holding honey. You may be able to see the angle to the horizontal in the plastic Honey Flo combes. Using that key opens the bottom of the cells and the honey flows out for harvesting. Someone suggests that the wrong orientation of the comb may drown the brood.
@@RegWhelan I do removals and notice he turned comb 90°. So cells not at 11° degree anymore.
Can tell you’ve used a chainsaw before. At one stage I thought you were going to carve out a bloody cattle dog from that stump!! Look forward to the conclusion. Nothin says Australian like true blue Aussie ingenuity right before your eyes. MacGyver the crap out it. Nice 👍 Hope the misses wasn’t pissed too much. Thanks misses Bee Man for sharing him and your son🙏
Hi BBM still watching you from bangkok ,well it looks like your bee can works well did you get a chance to check out the guy from new zealands bee catcher , im glad your stihl starts easier than mine it would have been dark before i got started . Hopefully you have got the queen and when you g back they will all be in the hive wil you go back at night when they have settled , never a dumb idea it is an experiment as you havent done this before good video glad it worked for you take care .
Shouldn't the comb be placed in the frames the same way it was hanging in the tree? Putting the comb in the wrong direction can cause the larvae to die... right?
It's been mentioned in previous videos but not sure if these comments are read. Correct that comb is angled and always best to maintain the same orientation.
The best bee vacuum is made by Jeff.
See what he has done and you copy it.
You got plenty smoke a fuel
You're framing verticle comb, horizontally.
I was thinking that too
You're wife has been happily married for 5 years to you. Lol
Witch 5 years was it?
Mr Bush Bee Man, I don't know a thing about Bee keeping, but I'm a fan of the show, your entertaining, & I Love what your doing as far as ecosystem preservation..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@19:56 I can see this is recorded down under. You're putting the comb in bottom-up. ;D
Anyway, congrats on your dirty turd anniversary!
Hi
The bees are probably getting banging up in the bee buster as there would be a constant vortex in there as the hose connections are at the top and on each side, if the hose connections were right next to each other on the same side this should reduce/stop? that vortex effect.
Sorry, Its at 25:40
Please wer ar you from
Dis you not like to use your bee vac you made out of the airtight chest after a few uses? Why the bee buster now?
Hello bushbee man you do not look 50
That's because he's not that young.
Hughy Hughes ouch lol
Nice language.....🤨
Well don't subscribe simple.
