I’ve just purchased a hive “kit” which have without instructions/ or video reference. I would not have managed assembly without your excellent and clear explanation and presentation. I wouild like to refer your video to the commercial distributor who failed miserably in instructions and guidance. You may want to levy a charge for usage! Let me knpow and I’ll name them.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am happy for you to share my video - delighted in fact!
I am just glad you found it useful, it is exactly this reason I made it!
I’m 11 in getting a huge kit
Hives sure have come a long way since I was keeping bees long ago. I'm getting back into it, and videos like this are sure helpful. Thank you for your instruction as it fills the gaps in hive construction of today.
Thanks for that video couldn’t work out which bit went where and it’s very straightforward from your video
Paula Jones thanks Paula, yea I felt the same way when I received the package!
Super is the smaller box and brood is the bigger box
Mark party mix that’s right, sorry if I mixed them up! Thanks for the correction
@@SelfSufficientHub do you not think you should remove the video as it will be misleading to new beekeepers as the content is incorrect? otherwise a good video with clear instruction
@@philipramsbottom3937 I’ve had mostly positive feedback and I have considered removing the video but honestly I think it’s something that won’t cause problems to anyone who is really learning.
We all make mistakes.
Thank you for your feedback though.
@@philipramsbottom3937 I have made the correction prominent in the video description now though so thanks for prompting me to do that
Great video, as others have mentioned you were building the super first and the brood box is the larger.
I've just build my first using this video, thanks
Thanks for your comment- yea it’s annoying that I mentioned them the wrong way round but unfortunately I cannot edit it now…
@@SelfSufficientHub Not a problem, I think most understood anyway.
This is super helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you for a simple no nonsense video, I am just learning and the video makes it very easy to understand. I think you need to invest in an upgrade for your workbench in the near future though !! Look forward to more content.
Thank you sir.
Today I am filming a colony extraction from a roof which will be posted this week 👍
Great video mate! Really looking forward to seeing the hive in action and tasting the final product 👍👍 p.s I now know who to call when I've been to Ikea 👌 keep up the good work
Paul Bazeley roger that! Lol
Very useful - thank you.
Very welcome - thanks for watching!
Hi, would you oil a cedar hive and if so which oil?
Really useful vid Carl, thanks. What’s the plan for getting bees for it? I’m new to beekeeping too and I’ve just made some swarm traps in the hope of catching some bees for my new hive
David Oliver well I am part of an ascosiation that is raising a colony for me, the process is part of the beginners course I was part of, but all the practical stuff got stomped by the pandemic. I am on the local bee association list of keepers that will go and collect swarms so that’s my current plan but for whatever reason I am still waiting at the moment.
Everything I do has to be done with the smallest budget possible so patience is my friend.
Good plan-I was intending to go on a course too but it was cancelled because of coronavirus as well. Apparently there is a pretty good success rate with swarm traps...they’re easy to make too, I just used some old plywood boards. I’m sure you could knock some together pretty cheaply-you can see how I made mine on my channel if you fancy having a go. Just bait them with lemongrass oil. Hope we both get some bees soon one way or the other!
David Oliver cool- I’ll definitely check your video out
Great vid where did you buy the hive?
Thomas Szozda thank you. It was a gift bought online. Not sure where from sorry
Aren't the boxes the other way around.
I thought the small box is the super and the larger one is the hive box
I see this is 4 years old, hopefully you will have learned more about bee keeping in the interval and can see the erroneous information for yourself by now. You should take it down and make a new video with correct information. Firstly you don't know a brood box from a super and secondly the queen can roam wherever she wants unless you place a queen excluder on top of any brood boxes and therefore beneath the honey supers, otherwise what's stopping her? All very misleading for any beginners watching.
You call a brood box a super and a super a broodbox. Confusing for beginners who are your target audience.
