That makes absolute sense. Like an address. You manage your bees extremely well. When I get a start on this, with my first bees, my goal would be to understand my bees as well as you do. You certainly put a lot of work into the boxes. Thanks!.....Kindest Regards, steve
Why wouldn't you pull the screen off and "pour" the bees out? The thump and dump adds to an already stressful situation.. Not to mention the all broken wings and and legs that's caused..
+J Rivera Because, as the video poster said, their instinct is to clump together at the bottom of the cage and stay there. They don't just "pour" out. You have to thunk the cage to separate them and loosen their hold and then dump them into the hive before they can grab onto the cage again.
@jasons1231, Just because people don't agree with you, that doesn't mean you have to be a coward and block them so you can have the last word. If thinking that every other beekeeper in the world is wrong helps you sleep at night without wetting the bed, power to you. Do your own research and grow up. I love how the hive owner in this video is a MASTER beekeeper and yet that means nothing to some people.
My first packages arrive in 2 days and I am so nervous! Watching you calming and quickly go through the process is encouraging. Great video!
Installing my first package later today can't wait this video is awesome

What do you think about package bee survival rates? And what do you think determines which package bee sets make it and which don't?
Could you please share where you purchased your veil? I really like it. Thanks.

love your hives
Very nicely done. May I ask why the blue camo? Different pattern for each box.
The darker the color the more solar gain in the winter and the patterns are identifiable by the bees

Did they place the queen with her screen flush on a frame? The screen needs to be reachable by the bees to feed her and bond to her scent.

How long do you need to wait after installing a package before you open the hive again?
How not to do your Bees, Set the box into the hive and let them come out by themselves
Wait---Where do you live where you are installing a package of bees IN DECEMBER!!!???? Are you in Florida or something?
That was late April 2010 in Portland Maine
Es mi apicultora favorita se nota qué es mujer como se entiende con las abejas.
Un saludo
Why not do it like Ken Davis? Just set the box in the brood box and dont stir the bees all up.
How long do you leave the syrup in the hive?

Would BOTH of you ladies please knock it off and get a life? - its the YT comments section and you disagreed... what did you THINK would happen?
Dude, look how old that comment is. We "knocked it off" over a year ago. But ok.
2010 that was a light year ago. Any one raise Caucasian bees anymore.? Hello from Wisconsin
