Thank you for posting this Bob.
Thank you Bob for capturing Greg presentation! Greg did a great job and I appreciate both of you sharing your experience and knowledge.
Bob, i can't thank you enough for this series. I will implement some of this in my operation for sure. This is great !!
Thanks Bob for breaking this up into two parts. Good health and God bless 👍
Thanks to Greg for this, very good stuff. I’ll have to look up those articles from ABJ in the late 80’s.
Great video and presenter!! This is the first video that I’ve seen that comprehensively explains how to correctly split the brood nest for swarm control.
Wow, very interesting , learn a lot , good job buddy...
Bob, thank you for all that you do. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and the knowledge of those you have contact with to all the rest of us.
Thanks Bob. I have learned so much from yourself and Kamon Reynolds. I really appreciate these videos with professionals and their operations. The scientist you interview are also a great resource. I think you guys should be commended on your attempts to increase the over all knowledge of the community. Well done
Very informative with some good ideas, particularly with swarm control and brood building. Thank you for allowing us to tag along with you in your videos.
i do beekeeping in Algeria and i enjoyed this two part videos a lot ! i learned a lot especially how to do splits without searching for the queen, can't thank you enough you are doing a fantastic job to the worldwide beekeeping community god bless you sir 🙂
A fellow aspiring beekeeper from Algeria here, I hope we can get in contact and exchange what we learn.
This is great info on how to keep your bees so busy they forget to swarm! Thank you!
Wow!!
Thank you Bob and Greg.
So much to take away from #1 and 2.
Terrific presentation! As I live nearby in western North Carolina, he comments about the region were terrific for my planning!
Exactly what I needed to hear!! Appreciate the sharing.
I could listen to him all day!!!!👍
Really enjoyed this series, Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, see you soon.
This video series is so useful especially since I'm only at the beginning of my 3rd year. Been taking notes... And realized I did some of what he spoke of without realizing it: My hives were getting plugged with nectar, so I took 1 brood comb out of each 4 hives and made a split with a queen I purchased. Replacing the brood with an empty drawn frame, that prevented swarming.
Glad I'm starting to develop the right intuitions for beekeeping 😁
Good video, Mr. Binnie! I think Mr. Rogers has been watching your videos. Great information.
So glad to find Part 2,
Thanks Bob!
Wow, so appreciate this info. Very timely and provided validation plus some needed direction.
Wonderful presentation! Thank you Greg! And thank you Bob for sharing!
Extremely valuable information again! Thank you very much for sharing Bob!
The red tape on the frames was a very useful teaching prop.
Love this Bob!!! I learned some awesome facts watching this! God Bless!!!
What a tip about moving brood frames around to help slow down/prevent swarming!! Thank you.
So very useful, I've shared the link with all our local members. Thanks You
Thanks, great videos. Makes a lot of sense even for us in the uk.
Thank you Bob for sharing this information! I’m trying to soak up all I can!
Terrance Ingram was a wise beekeeper in my mind, have used his methods of expanding the brood nest ever since reading his articles
Can’t thank you enough for sharing all this great information
Thanks, Bob. Very informative.
Bob thank you so much for your videos the time it takes u to make them and put them on here I always learn something they are great Greg did a wonderful job teaching about his way of tending the bees it was very helpful. Thanks again have a blessed week
Thanks Frances.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. It’s been very useful. I wish you and your all the best..have a great day.
This content is a home run
What a great teacher he is!!
thank you bob for the videos . i can learn english and beekeeping in the same time 😁
Thanks Bob & Greg great video !
This is some solid information. Thanks, Bob!
Great presentation, thanks Bob for sharing
Awesome presentation. So much information.
Thanks for sharing Bob!
Thanks Bob great video lot of information
Wonderful job!
very much enjoyed - thanks!
Great presentation, thankyou
The re-queening information is priceless. I think I got this right. Start queens in nucs. Later in summer kill the queen in the large hive and merge the other queen with the nuc with the hive.
So much easier than trying to replace a queen in a large colony. Never had much luck doing it that way.
My problem is if the nuc is so strong, I wouldn't want to ruin that and just overwinter it.
Awesome info!👍🐝🐝🐝🐝
Thanks Bob...🙂
Good info thanks
Great speak 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks.
إنها فكرة رائعة تستحق التجربة شكرا
Thanks for all the helpful information. I had a question I didn't hear, under super or over super?
I've tried both and I think they make about the same amount of honey each way. I like over supering once the flow starts for easy checking and under supering if the colony needs an immediate sense of space for swarm control.
@@bobbinnie9872 thank you that makes perfect sense.
Excellent video Bob! Thank you again!
When I add empty frames in the middle of the brood most of the time I get them with honey and pollen instead of brood.
Any thoughts on this?
The bees will sometimes put nectar in older combs to sanitize them and soften them before using them for brood rearing.
Is it too early to start inspecting in Eastern mass. The weather has been cold. What is the best temp to start inspecting my hives in my area. Both my hives have survived the winter so far and I am starting a 3rd with a six frame nuc I bought in May. and possibly splitting to start a 4th.
We like to inspect when the early pollen begins. In our area that would be maple trees.
Why do you do not use Dadant hives? Big brood frames and shallow supers.
If you are referring to Dadant jumbo they are not standard and are hard to find in this country.
@@bobbinnie9872 Okey, I understand. Good bee & honey season 👍
I've searched all over and cannot find the Bee Journal articles by Terrence Ingram that Greg mentioned. Is it possible he has a copy that can be shared? The ABJ Digital Archives online only go back 9 years.
I'll ask.
Hi Mike. Greg is mailing me a copy of a similar article by the same author. If you send your email tome at bobbinnie19@gmail.com I'll send it to you.
When does honey flow start? I am in NC. I think from what you’re saying you maybe too.
It depends on what part of NC. In Asheville late April to early May.
@@bobbinnie9872 I am right outside of Triad area, so that should be about the same time for me I’m guessing. Thank you for the fast comeback and the information.
can you do the same split with 3 frames like 1+1+2?
Yes.
Boy people sure got there money worth at that seminar
Especially considering it was free. 👍
Hey Bob, got an interesting idea for a video for you... Ya see, we're all in different parts of the country ( & possibly the world) and what he (and others as well) say concerning times of the year isn't universal. Also he say "Don't do that if it is getting cooler" or cold & "watch the weather". How about giving us a reference as far as temperature ranges (Low & High's) So we can apply that to our own area. What he may say is cool weather (in N. Carolina) might be warm weather up here in northern Ohio. Not sure how to gauge it and make it useful information... You being a commercial bee keeper for 40 years, it may seem self-explanatory. I have been doing this for 4 years and well, ... I guess I'm stupid... Can you help a novice out?
Thanks for the tip.
👍 from Russia
Hey, he didn't make clear how to make splits if we have queen cells cups but not caped yet. Thanks in advance.
Unsealed queen cells can be used easily as long there is ample young bees and good nutrition to finish them properly.
Bob, who is this presenter? I see his name is Greg in the comments but don't see his last name.
Greg Rogers.
How does a Top Bar hive keeper relate to this video
Having never operated Top Bar hives I couldn't say.
Never split a bee brood it is an unwritten rule
