On one of your other videos, you did mention your location. Northeast Arkansas. I've just returned, yesterday, from the 2024 Arkansas Beekeepers Association Conference up in Mountain View, AR. Now I wonder if he had seen you there. Well, I am located in Southeast Arkansas, and I've just moved, and moved my colonies from Southeast Texas just 2 months ago. So as you can imagine, I am getting acclimated to my new environment, and so are the girls . I am a new beekeeper as well, however, I believe that I will always be a newbee, considering dealing with this amazing insect, the honey bee. I will Keep on learning. Later....
I have been in Southwest Arkansas, Magnolia area a lot always thought that would be a great area for some hives. I haven't been able to make it to the Arkansas Conference yet, I will be at NAHBE in January :) i believe this is a journey without an end myself, such a fun and challenging hobby
On the first colony that you inspected, you did rearrange the outside two frames and you ended up placing them on the other end of the hive. Why rearranging? Don't the bees get disoriented when we return the frames in a different configuration? They will eventually do fine, but it takes energy to reconfigure their setup. Good video, thank you.

They were empty frames it wont matter much at all, if they were brood they all need to be in center then honey then emptys,
Where are you located, it helps to know the beekeeper's location, since that governs, to some degree, why a beekeeper does what he or she do.
in the description area it shows my location BTW its Jonesboro, Northeast Arkansas, Thanks for watching
