Long Hive Activity [Update on the Long Hive]

- Hey there, fellow beekeeping enthusiasts! 🐝 It's a sweltering September day, and we've got some bee action that'll leave you scratching your head. In the 90-degree heat, the bees decided to throw a mid-air party behind the shop, circling branches like they're in the middle of a bee storm. But here's the kicker - they just hung out there for a while before making their way back to the long hive. What's the buzz, you ask? Well, your guess is as good as ours! No queen-making agenda, no obvious signs of trouble - just bees being bees.
As we wandered around the shop, we caught them checking out a few branches, only to return to their long hive rendezvous. It's like the queen took them on a mystery flight, and they all played along. We might never fully understand their secrets, but one thing's for sure - these bees know how to keep us guessing. Thanks for tuning in to this puzzling bee adventure. Stay tuned for more captivating beekeeping moments! 🐝 #BeeMystery #LongHiveSecrets #BeekeepingEnigma #RTBBF

I’ll never figure them out. It seems like you try to give them the greatest home and next thing you know their building a hive in a tire. Love what you do and god bless.♥️👍🏼🙏
They never tell their secrets 😊
This past spring I had the same thing happen . I said to my self well here goes my first swarm of the season. Well after about fifteen to twenty minutes here they all came back . I said what the crap that was luck . Thanks
I witnessed this also, 2 days later they were gone and robbing the hive out!
The book i have is different the the book they go by, wish i had a copy of the one they are reading. With that being said, i got almost 40 lbs out of one topbar hive. Love my topbar hives
You know, I saw that this weekend and thought they were getting robbed out.....but it is my strongest, most aggressive hive. A few minutes later and they were back to normal. It was a holiday weekend here in Israel so my best guess is they found something (soda, fruit juice, etc) left over from a picnic and were all coming home after the source was exhausted. That or they robbed out a hive down the road. They always seem to do it in the afternoon, right before it cools down for the day.
looks like you have a little mass on hand
You are most definitely right. :-)
Hi how do you go about stopping them from swarming with that type of box? I understand you can open areas going sideways. What do you do when you run out of area? Wait for swarm cells and manually move them to a new box??? Curious how you avoid swarms with this set up - thanks Jen
I have found that if they want to swarm, typically they will. Lol
Hi mine seem to take a flight every night just about sunset. Is this normal.
uninteresting !
Thanks for watching, Christophe!
