Look forward to seeing all y’all there!!! Byran is a really good guy!!! We did some beekeeping together back in high school, and I am so glad we both got back in it! See all y’all there!!!
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your crew at Hive Life 2023. You are truly blessed to have such an amazing group to work with!! I really enjoy having my Sunday morning coffee each week while learning from your great videos. "Breakfast with Bob" is always a treat. Take care and see you soon!!
Met you Saturday and you talked my wife into going to Hivelife with me! Got her the tickets last night so she can't back out now. Looking forward to seeing you again and meeting the folks I only see on youtube. 2023 is going to be my first year keeping bees. Looking forward to seeing what we can do. See you there!
Man wish I could go to the conference. ☹I'd have to bring a semi tailor.🥳 Gona be a busy winter season getting all this ready for Hive Life and spring.👍
I look at Bob we make 1000 of this 500 of this and this. Come up front his pile 100 hives. Pouring on numbers ......I made 180 hives two years ago. And have a lot of head ache. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. But I did it by my self 😂😂😂😂. Well done Bob! Seems big expansion and sales for next season
Thanks. Throwing out numbers probably sounds good but it's relevant to the situation. I probably made better stuff when it was just me making only equipment for myself like you're doing.
Bob, you never really said what the notch is on the deeps ends on the pallet you are talking over? The ones for the queen breeder box. I presume this is for the entrance, of your special bottom board you make for these.
Love your page. I am 74 years old ,had bees most of my years. Make nucs with my on queens, have 80 hives.Like the 2nd round of Nuc,s the way you made them but lost the page , would send the name of page? Very hard to make a 2nd round of nucs with my queens. I am in Wilkes county NC Thanks May I call some time
Hello Bob. I will be coming to the hive life conference. I really like the migratory lids. I will pic up some more at the conference and some bottom boards. I wish the t-shirts had a pocket. I need some nuc bottom boards and lids myself.
Ha Bob in a resent video u share on you tube u talked about u treating with oav in Dec u said u were going to treat 3 times if u do not mind how many days in between the treatments are u going to do what I am trying to say every 5 days 3 days I hope that I am making since thanks and have a blessed day I called on the lids and I will be getting some from u thanks
@@bobbinnie9872 hi Bob, me too! My friend and Beekeeping in Wales has just Texted me! My suitcase coming over has now got even lighter!! The clock is ticking real fast!! It will soon be here!! 💪🏻🙌🐝
How much "slack" to you build into the length of the migratory covers? I've been experimenting with building some but have found that with the summer humidity the boxes have expanded to the point that the lids no longer fit. Thank you.
Hey Bob....great video!! i cant remember which video it is that you have a laying worker situation and you just take box of laying workers and set box on top of a strong colony....you remember where that video is?? thanks!!
Hi Bob - QUESTION: where did you buy the observation hive from and any tricks/advice on keeping them alive? We had a difficult time keeping ours going in the retail store. Thanks in advance!
We actually made ours. Nothing special. Most years we have to replace the bees with a fresh nuc. Occasionally they will last more than one season. Sorry, I don't have any special advice on that.
@@bobbinnie9872 il need to ask Richard Noel to buy one for me when he’s at Hive Life. 😄 Great video as usual, very inspiring what you have built there. 😊👍🏻
@@bobbinnie9872 Can you share the cut dimension for the 5 frame nuke boxes? I ordered the bottom boards but shipping is a killer to Maine to ship nuke boxes.
Our current nuc boxs are 9-1/2 x 19-7/8. If you order nuc bottoms from us they would be 9-1/2 inch wide and probably 21-3/4 long. The strips would be cut for a box 19-7/8 long. @@williambates6811
@@bobbinnie9872 i missed visiting with you last week. You were out beekeeping. My wife and i had passed through the area. I still say a shirt with your likeness and the peanut butter quote would sell big
I'm curious how you measure 1/128th with precision....is that for all lengths of cuts, can you explain what calibration tools you use for that or make a video please. I remember when you were talking about when you yourself were first hired and learned that kind of precision in your boss's carpentry wood shop.

Like I say, you are a Rock Star , that is impressive
Hi Ian. I have a hat saved for you.
I can't go to the Hive Life Conference, so I'll go up to the store and visit Marilyn.
That's why I can't find any hdo plywood. Bob Bennie has it all lol.
Look forward to seeing all y’all there!!! Byran is a really good guy!!! We did some beekeeping together back in high school, and I am so glad we both got back in it! See all y’all there!!!

"Breakfast with Bob". I like it!
Your people look like they enjoy working for you. You have such a fantastic place. Thanks for showing us around.
Sure does look like you have a stand up crew that works for you! Life's alot easier when you can depend on everyone to get done what's asked of them.
Looking forward to seeing you again this year... I hope we get time to say Hello.... Chris
I love your Sunday mornings videos. Thanks for sharing Bob!
Awesome guys! Cant wait til Hive Life! Love the Bees I got from Seth! Loved Meeting you Bob! You truly are an awesome man!!! God Bless!!!

Thank you, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to hive Life too.

Looks like you will have a great booth Bob!Looking forward to seeing the whole gang at Hive Life! Molly is going to do great!
Hi Greg. I hope you'll be well rested beforehand. I remember all the activity at your booth last year!
Have fun at the conference.

It was good to meet y'all a few weeks ago. I will see y'all there.
I will have to look that up!! Maybe I can come if it is in Ga.
Yeah, they are sold out….
Seems like for that quantity you might save time by wax dipping them rather than painting. It would provide a higher quality finish, also.
Dipp+paint while Hot is best
Thanks for sharing great video
So snowbird Ian is coming to Tennessy , Wooh
Went to the hive life conference 2022 and it was great. 1600 people at the conference in 2023 will be good and bad. It’ll lose the small feel.
Bob, please have some long sleeve T Shirts for Beekeepers to wear while smoking the bees!
Looking forward to meeting your crew! Can't wait!
Looking forward to it! Thanks Bob.
Good luck and God bless 🙌 🙏

Looking forward to the conference. Hive Life really is a great time. I'll be stationed at Gregs booth, so i'm sure it will be busy.
You'll definitely be busy.

i used 2 sided MDO less warpy. i spent a lot of years in the sign industry we used MDO for signs and i used scraps for makin some bee equip.
MDO is good stuff.
Used it since the mid 80's. Beats most alterntives
Hello Bob. I will be coming to the hive life conference. I really like the migratory lids. I will pic up some more at the conference and some bottom boards. I wish the t-shirts had a pocket. I need some nuc bottom boards and lids myself.
Hi Mark. Call Molly about nuc bottoms and tops.
Are you going to be bringing any nuc boxes to the conference?
Yes, but it may not be a large number. That's one item you may want to preorder from Byran. I'm sending him the prices today.
You ROX Mr. Bob Awesome crew!! Shalom
Pallets of Sugar as weight, you know you’re at a beekeepers
Ha Bob in a resent video u share on you tube u talked about u treating with oav in Dec u said u were going to treat 3 times if u do not mind how many days in between the treatments are u going to do what I am trying to say every 5 days 3 days I hope that I am making since thanks and have a blessed day
I called on the lids and I will be getting some from u thanks
Hi Frances. Once our colonies are completely brood-less we will treat 3 times, 1 week apart.
@@bobbinnie9872 wonderful thank you very much hope u have a very Blessed week.
I can see I am going to have to buy a second suitcase and pay a ton in excess bagage but hey your Merch is gorgeous!!
Hi Richard. I'm really looking forward to meeting you. It should be a fun event for all. PS, I have a hat saved for you.

We make our covers 21-3/4 inch long. With the two end strips being 3/4, which equals 1-1/2, and a proper box at 19-7/8, it leaves 3/8 inch.
@@bobbinnie9872 thank you
Hey Bob....great video!! i cant remember which video it is that you have a laying worker situation and you just take box of laying workers and set box on top of a strong colony....you remember where that video is?? thanks!!
We do do that as long as the laying worker colony isn't too strong but I can't remember which video we show it in. Thanks.
Hello, which wood should be used to make a beehive and how many centimeters should the wood be?
We use pine or cypress and 3/4 inch or 19mm.
Those psychedelic transitions are wild
Hi Bob, looking forward to Hive Life 2023! Will you be making any of these HDO bottoms and lids for 5 frame nuc boxes? Thanks!
We aren't stocking the booth with them but if you want to order from our store we could bring them. Call Molly at 706 782 6722.
That is a Huge load of wood... How much did that weigh?
10,500 lbs
smokem if ya gottem,,thats kool
Ha Bob Do you make 8 frames leads tops as well enjoyed the video you are going to be very busy
Hi Frances. Yes we do.
what will your price be for bottom boards and tops

Hey Bob, Do you have a website where I can see the hoodies? Id love to get one! Thanks for the videos as always!
Hi Noah. Sorry, they're not shown on our web site.
I would buy one of those hats! Do you ship to the U.K.?

Hello.
Sure would like to see a one on one interview with Molly. Her positive attitude and smile is uplifting. Whats her secret?
Good idea. I will do that.

We have 12 inch calipers if we need to do something like that but thankfully not many cuts like that are needed.
@@bobbinnie9872 now I am going to have to buy some 12 inch calipers ;)
Hello Bob. What is the thickness of the hive wood?
3/4 inch.
@@bobbinnie9872 Thanks
Do you prefer using 3/8 or 3/4 side on you bottoms and why?
We like the 3/8 side. See our video. ua-cam.com/video/rWyNxuAdldU/v-deo.html
I’m registered. Is equipment for order or is it to be brought home?
We'll have it at the conference.
