Cheers for this, I've been looking for "home beehive" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Tiyia Beehive Basophilic - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got great success with it.
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
We’re getting ready for our first year in beekeeping and have been watching a ton of videos. This one is by far the most informative yet! Thank you and God bless
I am thinking of starting beekeeping so I'm doing research at this point. You've helped a great deal, a comprehensive and to the point guide, thank you so much!!
We are just looking into starting beekeeping and your video is the best we have seen at explaining the parts of the hive and how to build your hive. Many thanks.
I am not a beekeeper, not do I plan to in the near future. I love to educate myself on things, and this is by far the best beginners beekeeping video I have ever seen. Thanks for the education! Thanks for your patient level of teaching! It makes it look so interesting and easy.
Awesome tutorial thanks for the step by step. I captured a swarm this weekend that was in the wall of my garage. For having no idea what I was doing I did pretty well and got about 6 to 8 pounds of bees in a box all together. Now I need to get some hive equipment to manage them. The morning sun comment was something I was wondering about. I'm still not sure where I should put them I moved them under my big oak tree for now just to get them away from my door..
You should always know what is going on in your brood chamber. Make sure your hive is queen right. Check for eggs, mites, disease and food stores. In summer once every week or two.
GREAT video. You totally sold me. Ive been thinking of adding bees to my farm here in Humboldt county Calif, I have fruit trees and berries. I'm DEFINATELY buying from your link, love the presentation honest and straight. Subscribed.
Oh my goodness I am so glad I came across this video, we will be starting bee keeping next summer 2018 on our homestead and this video is very informative, subscribed and will be watching more videos, thank you! Happy Holidays
Superb intro class! I'm in central California and will be taking my starting class in mid-February. You have clarified what my initial purchase and backyard location will be. This video inspired trust, I'm a new subscriber and, going forward, I'll be perusing your library. Thank you!
Very grateful for this video. There were a few places where you feel back on terminology that may not be understood by the individual seeking basic information (i.e. talking about 'deeps' and then 'drawn out') but generally you did a great job as a teacher. Thanks. ADDITION: You might consider making another video just explaining all the common terms with physically showing the items. Beekeeping definitions for the newbie. Think about all the questions asked in comments and address those that fall into the definition category. Think about all the parts of the hive and what they are called and how they are used and physically show the part while describing it. If there is a video out there that does this without a lot of side talk and/or stories, I have not seen it.
very good video. When I started in 1969 I had a few boards, a hand saw, a hand drill, hammer and a screw driver. I had no money to buy bees so had to trap them. I didn't buy anything hive related for many years but did buy better tools...lol. I have a great many hives now.This is a much easier way to start out, just more costly.
Don't run off this is GOOD video. Speed him up 2 times, slow down at detailed parts. I am pre-Newbee, gathering information and supplies. Iwill be raising bees in Texas Hill Country.
Randy Schochenmaier The screened bottom board was developed to help control the varoa mite. The thinking is, as the Bees work in the hive some of the mites will fall through the screen and die. The screened bottom board is also a good ventilation tool.
Thanks for explaining it to beginners. What about extracting the honey from the frames? What equipments needed? How to do it? How long the frames last? How we refresh or replace the honeycombs in the frame? What’s the difference between frames full of brown stuff and yellow stuff? Thanks.
So glad I found this video! Our first hives are painted and in the yard waiting for the bees to arrive in less than 2 weeks. We've gone with all medium rather than deep bodies as neither my husband nor I are getting any younger. Using medium should we use 3 brood boxes instead of 2? Our winters here in N GA aren't as long or cold as yours, but I am worried they won't have enough for the winter.
Hey talk about the horizontal Langstrath hive Like top bar etc. You know. I'm thinking about doing one to get started . NEED SOME GOOD PLANS😬 Lots of videos but no plans I need to know bee space how how deep to make it for the deeps queen excluders etc . Basically from start to finish on everything. Joe from Michigan on UA-cam has a great looking one but get no answer from him . Would like to make one out of all my cedar on my land when I clear it for bees and my aquaponics. Plan on doing clover , buckwheat, perennial flowers. Etc. Bass wood trees and locusts trees . Etc Basically a Paradise for bees 🐝.
Thank You for the video !!!! I have a question about the top cover, No one ever explains when you should prop it up to ventilate the hive, and if you do what keeps wax moths and hive beetles from entering?
You are exactly right! Wax moths are opportunist and will hide in your top cover. Dont ventilate that way. Get a screened bottom board or a top hive attic or a "quilt box" for your top. something that gives ventilation but is screened. Hive beetles usually come thru the hive entrance. They can fly so they are a little tough to keep out. Place beetle traps inside your hive.
@@joeheller007 BTW we found bees in the north side of our house. The bee keeper lured them out with pheromone to a Nuc box, after he took all the bees we had lots of honey under the wood siding, but about half was contaminated by wax moth larva and had to be thrown out.
I hope I'm ordering correctly. In my cart I have the Super Summer Upgrade and the Inside and Out Set. I'm not bold enough to get bees yet, but I'm assuming getting these items will give me the boxes I need to get set up.
I just raided my dad's basement for a new hive today. I found this set up with comb already drawn out. I have a hive 40' up in a dead oak tree. I put sugar water on top of hive and lemongrass oil on a napkin in a bag inside. Now I wait.
Best video on "beginning bee keeping", I've seen on UA-cam so far! Thanks for the great video and very useful information.
I'm new to bee keeping and have done a lot of research. This is the most concise and informative presentation I've seen.Thank you.

@Kyler Carl Instablaster ;)
This was the best info I have found to start from the ground UP for the new bee keeper as I am.
melodie porter
Thanks Melodie
We need beekeepers like you for the environment and bee population.Beginning beekeepers make up a majority.
We’re getting ready for our first year in beekeeping and have been watching a ton of videos. This one is by far the most informative yet! Thank you and God bless
Hi. Did you start?How is it so far?
Very well done, thank you Sir for creating and posting. Straight forward and highly informative.
I am thinking of starting beekeeping so I'm doing research at this point. You've helped a great deal, a comprehensive and to the point guide, thank you so much!!
Beekeeping is a great idea and we like it for Haiti. I am going to study it thoroughly and start my own bee farm.
We are just looking into starting beekeeping and your video is the best we have seen at explaining the parts of the hive and how to build your hive. Many thanks.
thank you very much, this is very helpful for me, and our two packages come in 3 days, just now finishing their boxes and frames...we are also in ohio
Succinct and very well presented. Great video. Thanks a lot Joe.
I am not a beekeeper, not do I plan to in the near future. I love to educate myself on things, and this is by far the best beginners beekeeping video I have ever seen. Thanks for the education! Thanks for your patient level of teaching! It makes it look so interesting and easy.
Thanks Gregory
What about the entrance board with the small and large openings? I put one in when I got my hive this spring. In July, do I remove that?
Yes, agreed. The most helpful beginners video I've found.
Yes remove i.t Use your entrance reducer in the winter months to keep out mice.
Of all the bee keeping videos I have watched, this has been the clearest for me to understand. I will subscribe.
Thank you for making it so clear.....some others have a tendency to talk too much (stories) and it becomes annoying. Much appreciated
Very good video. I've watched several and yours has the best information.
Fantastic job of explaining first year bee keeping and equipment needed!
Charlotte Richardson
Thanks Charlotte I hope it helps you.

I'm new, I like your video very much. Super detailed and nice explanation. thank you!

Great video just got out 1st hives and buckfastleigh bees today here in Devon UK

The best video of all I have watched.
Best starting beginning beekeeping video I’ve seen thanks
Learned a lot thank you .
Finally a video that gets right into it. Nice work
Super informative thanks a lot I am definitely buying the kit thx again
But also what is the deference between the screen bottom and the solid bottom
Randy Schochenmaier The screened bottom board was developed to help control the varoa mite. The thinking is, as the Bees work in the hive some of the mites will fall through the screen and die. The screened bottom board is also a good ventilation tool.
Dana Bee Farm thx
Great video,newbie wanna be beekeeper.very informative,thanks
Very nice job, thank you
Very helpful commentary. Thanks
Best video ive watched yet for beginners(me) thank you
New beekeepers are the most important part of beekeeping.
thank you to for explaining this in a way that people who know nothing about the whole thing(like me) can understand
great video new to beekeeping
I want to start a bee hive one day. I’ve always been fascinated
Start in the spring when you plant your garden.
Awesome video! After looking and looking I found out if you should start with a honey super! Thanks so much
The Wolfly Gamer
Yes that’s right, grow your hive with your Bees. Thanks for your interest in beekeeping Wolfly Gamer
Great informative video
Very good! Thank you
Thank You Stelios
Very informative...thank you Sir.
Hope I was a help
Wonderful explainations.
good video, thanks learned a lot!
Thanks for the vid. I’m going to start beekeeping this spring. I joined a local beekeeper club, and I really find bees fascinating!
Aaron Tarr Joining a beekeeping association is a great idea. Read “ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture” this winter.
Good luck
Joe
Thanks for explaining it to beginners.
What about extracting the honey from the frames?
What equipments needed? How to do it?
How long the frames last?
How we refresh or replace the honeycombs in the frame?
What’s the difference between frames full of brown stuff and yellow stuff?
Thanks.
thank you! Now I know what is what!
Thank you
So glad I found this video! Our first hives are painted and in the yard waiting for the bees to arrive in less than 2 weeks.

Someone who has never done beekeeping before (like me) can understand
Best video I've seen yet.

hope it helps you brian
thanks, it was worth watch
Great video
Awesome thank you
Hey talk about the horizontal Langstrath hive
Like top bar etc. You know.
I'm thinking about doing one to get started .
NEED SOME GOOD PLANS😬
Lots of videos but no plans
I need to know bee space how how deep to make it for the deeps queen excluders etc .
Basically from start to finish on everything.
Joe from Michigan on UA-cam has a great looking one but get no answer from him .
Would like to make one out of all my cedar on my land when I clear it for bees and my aquaponics.
Plan on doing clover , buckwheat, perennial flowers. Etc. Bass wood trees and locusts trees . Etc
Basically a Paradise for bees 🐝.
great video ty
Very nice explanation. Thanks. As i leave in the tropics, can i use coconut husk for the smoke machine?
Thank You for the video !!!! I have a question about the top cover, No one ever explains when you should prop it up to ventilate the hive, and if you do what keeps wax moths and hive beetles from entering?

I saw your videos. I like people who grow things, we have kindred spirits.
I hope I'm ordering correctly. In my cart I have the Super Summer Upgrade and the Inside and Out Set. I'm not bold enough to get bees yet, but I'm assuming getting these items will give me the boxes I need to get set up.
I just raided my dad's basement for a new hive today. I found this set up with comb already drawn out. I have a hive 40' up in a dead oak tree. I put sugar water on top of hive and lemongrass oil on a napkin in a bag inside. Now I wait.

How did it work out for you?
Thank you.
