I've never done this but I read on Randy Oliver's site that if you put down some Lye at the base of the hive, the skunks will get it on their paws and then they don't like the flavor. However the mechanism works, he said it works. I need to try this. I've had problems with skunks too. Before I knew I had skunk problems (once upon a time), I had a shotgun in my hands while blowing away some aluminum cans---and along came a skunk. I didn't shoot it, but I didn't know the damn thing was probably eating my bees. Hindsight is 20/20. That won't happen again.
Thanks for sharing the tip. I see how that would work. I live on a small farm and it just so happens that my compost pile is not far from my bee yard in this video. Skunks are always visiting the compost looking for eggs. I think that's how they found my hives last year but now that the hives are higher there is no worries.
@@JCsBees I like that you used the pipe. I was commenting on the 100s and 100s of feet of it. That is almost a lifetime supply. While driving through Texas, I noticed that almost all of the fence posts were made out of used well drilling pipe.
Nice job Jason. That old oil field pipe is solid stuff and the price is right. 👍👍 I have a skunk problem too with one cinder block and 4x4 cross beams. They only bother them in the winter so I put up an electric fence. I can’t imagine my hives being higher with two deeps and sometimes two honey supers. Gets pretty tall. I have that same wonky little trailer. lol.
Free is for me. My brother has a construction company, whenever he sees or has scrap pieces of wood that he thinks I can use he gives me a call. So if you have lemons make lemonade. If you have Parts laying around make bee hive stands LOL. Thank you Jason for all your videos and taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
I've never heard of tangle foot. Kinda sounded like a flower to plant but after searching for it on Google, I now know it's not a plant at all. lol Thanks for sharing the tip. I don't have many any issues not sure if it's due to having a bunch of chickens or what. I used to worry myself to death about ants but then I learned strong hives can manage them on their own. So now I just work to keep all the hive strong.
Jason I used to use pallets for hive stands but they rot out in a couple years. This spring i had a bunch of used concrete blocks and stacked them 2 high to get away from skunks and had some older pressure treated 4x4 that I have used; it puts the bees 20 inches above the ground. I love your videos Jason. Rick in Pa.
I've used pallets too. Your right, they don't last long but they do make plastic pallets but that wouldn't help with skunks. You better off having the hives higher as they are safe from ground predators. Glad you enjoy the videos, I appreciate you watching.
Yes if they start bowing I would surely add a middle support. It's my experience though that the 10 footers do not bend or need a middle support, I have a 20 foot stand and it does have one though.
Hey Jason, do you ever run into issues with ants getting into your hives ? I am getting them between the inner and outer cover. Big carpenter ants with all their eggs.
@Anthony Tedesco Yes. I have had them there many times over the years. I usually switch out the lids to make sure I removed all the ants and eggs then I would coat the ground around the hives with diatomaceous earth (DE). This usually keeps them from coming back. It also helps control and hive beetle larva living in the soil. I used to coat my hive stand feet with grease to keep ants away too, plus I have tried the cinnamon. Cinnamon does work but it's too costly to use long term.
I did the same thing years ago, I had access to a metric crap load of galvanized pipe so I built several hive stands out of it except I welded straps of scrap iron I had across it to keep it spaced and together. I eventually came to not trust it's ability to sit hives on it because of the rounded surfaces and wind. In ten + years I only ever had one hive slide off it and it was empty but from that point on I just laid 4x4's on them and have used the 4x4's ever since. They give a much better surface for the hives to grip but free is free and 4x4's aren't cheap so use what you have is what I always say.
I've never had a hive slide off my stands in 11 years of keeping bees but I did have one blow over just a month or so ago. I don't blame the stand for that, the beekeeper should of strapped them down. I have consider welding a cross support in to keep the bars spaced but once I get the materials ready I never do as it's so much faster to just do it the way I showed. lol So you welded galvanized pipe? That's a no, no due to the fumes but I really should practice what I preach. I've done it too. lol
@@JCsBees Yeah I wasn't too concerned about the fumes, I built them in the shop over summer so I had the big doors open and the big shop fan behind me blowing the fumes out the door. The one hive I had slide off the pipe was an empty and a 40+ mph wind took it off. Didn't hurt anything but I had always been nervous about hives sliding off that pipe anyway, looking at them while working hives they just looked like they could slide easily, lol. I happened across some cheap 4x4's eventually and took the opportunity to change it over. Moving queen cells over to mating nucs tomorrow if weather permits and at this point it about has to be done one way or another. I have until Wednesday to get it done acording to my queen rearing calendar. Besides I'm leaving Wed evening for Judy's grazing school.
Best of luck with the cells. I have some going into incubation tomorrow. I also plan to setup another cell starter tomorrow and graft again Tuesday. Have fun at the grazing class. I wish I could get away to at least meet Greg, maybe some day.
@@JCsBees He does a lot of events all over the country and Canada so maybe you'll get a chance to catch him nearby and at a cheaper cost someday. This grazing school event is friggin expensive by itself then by the time I got a decent hotel and paid for two extra nights, it was a pricey adventure. Still pretty cheap for an enjoyable mini vacation I guess though...if I count it as one, lol. I didn't want to try to drive four hours going to the event the first morning so figured I'd get to Columbia the night before, same with coming home so I chose to stay a couple extra nights. At this point another $250 for a little comfort isn't a big deal I guess, lol. Would have been cool to have been able to meet you in person at the grazing school, I'd have treated you and your family to supper one of the evenings after the class.
Like I said last week, I know those classes are pricey but in the end your gain an education you can't get anywhere else. Everything I have learned about grazing is learned by experience which isn't a bad thing but I would have rather had the education before 40 head were dropped on my lap. That's just how it worked when I started too, he showed up dropped them off and left. No instructions, no pointers, nothing! It took lots of coffee and videos to get me on the right path. Of course, I am still learning and still make mistakes (like the banding issue we just had) but I learn from them and move forward. Anyway have fun, be safe and act like a sponge and suck up as much of Greg's knowledge as you can. I appreciate the offer on dinner bud, that means a lot. Thanks!
Good video and yes I would use the pipe if available like you have it. Over kill now saves work and repairs in the future those stands should last a very long time.
@@JCsBeesI raised and sold a few last season. Heading into winter for us now, so I'll get back into once the season changes here. Cheers mate, all the best with your upcoming spring and summer
I think ferral pigs might knock those over here in central Texas. But i could i make a square outline for a stand (no cement...but a large outline which can't be pushed over)?
I served with a Staff Sgt Chrisman in the USMC. Approx 1987-88 Camp Lejeune... could he possibly be related? Thx, DS ps I am a novice bee keeper with 3 hives in SE Ohio. I especially like your video's because u are very close to the type of environment/ecosystem that my apiary is located in.
Nah, I am not aware of a Chrisman in my family that served. at one time I considered enrolling in the Marines then other doors opened for me and I took that path instead. I appreciate your service my friend! Glad the videos are helpful! What county are you in? I'm in Licking.
I've got a secret hiding place of morels! Nothing like morels sautéed with some home grown asparagus. 'Tis the season! I've noticed your hive stands in other videos. Thanks for sharing how you make them. I would love to be able to make my own equipment etc. I don't much mind if a skunk wants to snack on a few bees, but I hate having them around my dogs. EVERY year they manage to get crossways with one!
Just found some yellow mushroom today so the blacks must be done here. I have been finding them in place I have never found them before, which I like. I bet you would mind the skunk bothering the bees once they turned pissy. At least I don't like working pissy bees, I prefer docile bees. I do understand why the skunk and the dogs would be an issue though. Best of luck with that.
New beekeeper here getting ready to start my hive in the spring. I want to build a hive stand similar this, but it doesn't look like it would prevent ants. Do you experience any ant problems in or around your hives? I'm in Northern IL.
I do see ants from time to time but not too often but I have numerous chickens. I also sprinkle DE on the ground under my hive to kill small hive beetle larva and it also helps with the ants. Best of luck to you!
Hope you don’t mind, but I was looking for a pullover veil like the one you have. I located one, which I purchased from Dadant, and it is located here in the States. The veil is a great asset and the price was very good. I hope this helps anyone looking.
well I'm trying to increase my hives and moving toward 2 & 4 way pallets to move some bees to my creek property as an isolation yard to be stocked with VSH queens to flood the area with VSH Italian drones, then cross them on some Bob Binnie Carniolan/Caucasian genetics, so I will probably have put the pallets inside some 3' hog panels and use electric fencing as well, then occasionally put out some rotting sour mash corn and go set on it at night with a AR-15 with night scope, DNR don't mind if you're killing wild hogs and coyotes at night where there's clear evidence of field and hay field destruction and the coyotes are chasing deer and turkeys, around here the hogs are even rooting up peach orchards, cotton and peanut fields, so I'm sure they'd go after bee hives, I may just collage 4- 4 way pallets on 4X4s on top of 4- 55 gallon drums, I've never had a problem with critters and such when I've moved singles there for reorentation away from. my house yard.
You now have me thinking about how to use my resources. I have loads of terracotta pipe and wondering how I can use it for hive stands. Also I'm wondering about your dark blue hives. Do you think they have too much solar gain in summer?
