I Love you and your dad's videos. Thanks, to you both, you have taught me enough to give it a try. My packages will be picked up on May 14th. Virgin bee keeper.
Thank you! :) That is amazing. I hope it all works out for you!
Thank you, Anna!!!
You're welcome!
Very nice seeing you again grandpa,you the best..❤😍❤😍
Thanks for watching! We appreciate your comment.
Love your videos and thank your father for sharing his knowledge .He has really improved the way that I treat my bees. Thanks again and am looking forward to getting future videos.
Great to hear! Thank you for watching! We are happy to hear that!
Missed you both so much, so glad you are back making videos
Yay! Thank you!
Soooo glad to see your videos,...I always learn soooo much !!!!
Thank you! We are happy to hear that! :)
Good information. MY single colony swarmed last week and only went about 30 feet from where the colony was. Yesterday they swarmed again and went high and far away. His description of how far 1st and 2nd swarms go is spot on. Thanks,
Wow! I hope you got them! Thank you for watching! :)
He ate a queen cell! I knew he was just like the folks I grew up around! Lol. I love you guys. I grew up south of Cleveland Ohio and my parents just had lots of friends that were very real. Thanks y'all for your videos.
lol. You're very welcome! Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks before asking my question you have already answered my question through video 😍😍
Thank you for watching! :)
Anna check the swarm for multiple queens. Have found several Queens in one swarm. Just my experience over
50 years of beekeeping. Just have fun.
Good suggestion! Thanks! :)
Your back so glad all is well.
Thank you! :)
Hey Anna. Glad your back. Great Video
Glad you're back too! :) Thanks for watching!
Hey I love your videos. My bees swarmed 4 times this year and i had to move them. My neighbors started complaining. I asked one of bee communities if I could keep them there. Going to inspect them this week.
Thank you! We are happy to hear that! Maybe you can calm your neighbors with a jar of honey? I hope it works out for you.
@@AnnaKra well they have small kids so is pretty hard.
из какой ты части России

Uma boa captura de enxame de abelhas parabéns
Obrigado!
Thanks again for another great video
Thank you. Thanks for watching! :)
That's a nice swarm!
Yes, it is! Thanks for watching! :)
Nice job 👍
Thank you! :)
haven't seen you for awhile, hope everything is good
Everything is good! Thanks for watching! :)
Nice video! Do you usually use two brood boxes for the family development or you put queen excluder in beetween? When do you start adding supers?
Depending on how well the family is building comb and how big it is. If it's doing well and growing fast we add a second supper in two weeks or so. Thanks for watching! :)
Nice swarm rescue. Was this a swarm from one of your hives?
Yes it was! Thank you for watching! :)
It would have been interesting to examine all those torn open drone cells for verroa mites. Also, the drone that he spotted with the damaged wings, it would have been interesting to see it captured, maybe killed in an alcohol wash to see the damage that was done. Leaving that drone in the hive was just a drain on resources in a hive that was already taxed by the splits as he will never contribute his genetics to any queen. Might be a good idea to keep a jar of alcohol ready for this type of observation. Your father is the first to spot and point out anything like this that I've seen in watching hundreds of bee videos.
Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching! :)
Woww 🧐😲😲
Thanks for watching!!!
Anna, It seems my hive has swarmed two times within the last 3 weeks. Is that possible and if so, what can I do to prevent more swarms. I did look into the hive today and moved some brood frames to the second box and added some new frames to the bottom and put a queen excluder. I saw your dad doing that in one of your videos. I am going to check next weekend to make sure the new queen is laying eggs. Let me know about the swarming
To prevent swarms you need to watch out for queen cells. If they are making a lot of queen cells in early spring and if the hive looks like it has a lot of bees that usually means they are ready to swarm. If you notice that you may want to expand your hive and remove the queen cells, expand so that they have room to grow or do splits, but make sure there is only one queen or queen cell per hive. Yes, it is possible to swarm that many times. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching! :)
@@AnnaKra exactly Anna well said
Pavel seems like a cool guy
My dad is great! Thanks for watching! :)
Seems like there is a lot of honey left over from winter. Could you slow down swarming by removing it and forcing the bees to draw new foundation so the queen would have more room to lay?
I'm not sure about that, that hive (2 supers) had so many bees we were able to make 7 splits! Doing splits early and leaving one queen will prevent swarming from happening. Thanks for watching!
Why didn't you add a frame with a queen cell to the last hive box you inspected? You want to make an emergency queen cell from eggs?
The swarm hive? Or the hive the swarm left from? The hive the swarm left from already had a ton of queen cells and eggs. Thanks for watching.
crazy xD
Thanks suzi! :-)
Hello beautiful girl
Anna I would like a contact email.
If you have questions, the best way to contact us is through the comment section under any video. We try not to give out our email online due to it is hard to keep track of all the comments and questions, your email can be easily missed. Thank you for watching! :)
hi I just wanted to send some photos so that your father can tell me his views. I use a hive clean product for varoa. and I have several dead bees. is there a biological method for varoa? Thanks a lot!
@@user-ym5hb6ut8v Will you post the pictures inside our Facebook group or even send them through a message on Facebook, inside our group? facebook.com/groups/2283543025306664/ What type of clean product do you use? Have you checked out our series on varroa mites?ua-cam.com/play/PLPAM4VczInl5UTyTRou4J1Uxale5HEhlP.html
Pavel’s Russian channel is more popular than his daughter’s English channel; my children don’t want to be engaged
good channel both
subscription from me
but you need to ask Russian speakers, a large audience
We started the Russian channel a long time ago. We just started the English channel not long ago. Our English channel is taking off much faster than our Russian channel did back than when we first started. Thanks for watching!
