It depends on your business model - not good for migrational beekeeping - the standard Langstroth is normally used for pollination. Not much honey too, however, much higher honey quality - you can sell it as medicinal honey - more expensive.
I find Warre hives interesting, yours is the 1st video I've really watched on them. So they seem actually really similar to the Langstroth hive , just smaller and you under super with them? Do you have issues with them being more swarmy because of smaller space? I like the little windows, it looks like a Warre hive with windows makes for a great display hive to show people bees. Also looks like they would be great for making cut comb honey. Ty for sharing your time, Blessed Days...
To me it is different from Langstroth - the dead space in Langstroth frame is ~2inch - here is 3/8”. It also resembles a natural bee trunk - not much of diameter but long in length. Swarming is very similar - we need to keep bees busy to minimize risks. The design and management is close to Japanese hive. Comb honey or even little honey frames can be marketable. The frames are so simple and cheap.
@@RunningLong Ya I watch a traditional Japanese keeper and they reminded me of her hives. Ty for the conversation I enjoy learning different forms of beekeeping I can. 🙂
Yes, the hive has screened bottom, and I do not treat for varoa this hive due to design. I treat others with oxalic acid vaporizer, and I give them probiotic, Vetom 1.1. Last year I only used the probiotic for all hives - I lost about 40% so far.
Usually it strapped through the opening in the roof to the anchors in the stand - very solid. I did not do it this year as the place is wind protected.
This person who was making these Hives , I don't know why he stopped doing it ? ! He even had a UA-cam channel, but he hasn't posted any new videos on his channel for a while. It is a pity, especially since its Hives are characterized by the quality of manufacturing.
I didn’t understand what you were doing with those reduced author crates at the beginning of the video. Do you use the Warré hive as a small Dadant hive, which has honey boxes on top? If that’s the case, it’s a mistake: it’s not a Warre hive. Yes, it is necessary to lift the hive to place an empty box from the bottom. This is a necessity because you should never cool the brood in the hive. But there are lots of very simple models of elevators. for example, this one I saw on you tube video: ua-cam.com/video/lC6zFBezEv4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=raymanpictures
I like the dry moss. It is a good idea, free and natural.
Yes, comes from old style beekeeping - moss is very good insulator too.
Hey. Are you on fb?)
Absolutely amazing!
Looks like a cross between a Langstroth and a top bar hive. Pretty neat
Can we use this Warre hive for commercial beekeeping?

Thanks @RunningLong.
"higher honey quality", what's that and why?

Nadiring vs supering is a difference between langs and this still if you have not yet stumbled on this information yet.
The boxes must be tied with a rope or the like so that the wind does not knock them down. Especially since it's long and tall.
Yes, I agree. I tight it with ratchet tie down straps.
do you have a varoa grill on the bottom near the entrance and do you treat for varoa mite? great video btw

How do you prevent the hive from being blown over in bad weather?
Usually it strapped through the opening in the roof to the anchors in the stand - very solid. I did not do it this year as the place is wind protected.

Yes, good quality hives

It is anchored with straps through the hole in roof.

Yes ,I agree. I expanded it from the bottom. It meant just to show the parts. Thanks for the link.
