    Queen walks off right edge of frame at 27:05 after the fat drone. Queen also at 32:50 on the middle right. Her wing catches the light. When you rest the frame on top of the box the queen might run off. Maybe try keeping it in the air somehow.

      That’s a drone. Male bees are larger.
      All I can do is upload in 4K. Not sure why the video is blurry

    It does look like they had a lot of drones in the red hive. I'm just getting drones here in Alabama. We are not yet into spring. I'm not seeing any queen cells, but they do have a lot of room still.

    I can hardly ever find my queens. I don't think so, I've seen mites on my bees and on larva, but that's just my opinion. It kind of looked like parts of the wing buds got dislodged?

    • @aussiebeekeeping
      @aussiebeekeeping  Рік тому

      Nah. My hives were all good apart from one naughty hive. Then a couple of months ago I used that hive to rescue nine of my hives that were failing. Now I’m laying the price as my genetics have gone out the window.
      If you send queens I would be interested. I have 10 new queens in order but the breeder is a little wishy washy.

    @williamsummers6438 Рік тому

    You will never be free of varroa if you continue to use traditional thin walled hives as you are doing. For that you need a highly insulated external envelope with top of brood entry that makes the brood chamber a more humid bucket. If a pupa is kept above 37c. or below 29c. the pupa die. At 35c. pupation time is 10-11 days with 96%-98% surviving. At 31c. pupation time is 14-15 days with 89-100% surviving. A hive that sustains high humidity reduces the varroa numbers and a higher temperature will reduce the pupa hatching time which reduces the time available for the varroa mites to mature in the cells.

    • @aussiebeekeeping
      @aussiebeekeeping  Рік тому

      Lol. We don’t have Varroa here in Australia. And bees have been surviving in “thin walled” hive for a very long time. Which is a lot better for the bees and the earth as they are natural.
      To many bee keepers think like you about polystyrene hive like Vino farm and his crazy beehives.

      Hopefully your bees will sort themselves out. Great video as always, also sorry to see you get so many stings. Been there myself, I never seem to get use to it. Although sometimes I’m lucky and it doesn’t always hurt. Otherwise they’re looking 👀 really good 👍🐝🍯

      Thanks. The suit I have was a gift and is the reason I get stings. I’ve always used a jacket and jeans and never had an issue. Just have to wear this suit out so I can go back to my original gear. :)
