What do you do with frames that have mold from a deadout?
2:57 “we try not to spread debris around the bee yard”
3:12 *throws frames on ground*
😜 wonderful video series though, much love!
Hey Russel
Yeah that was a bit of a contradiction. What you see is how we do things but my comments were a bit too preachy. If we took the time to write a script we could avoid these missteps. Nice to hear you enjoy the videos!
Thank you, Paul and all the crew for making these beautiful videos
Our pleasure, glad you appreciate them!
Best videos on UA-cam! Thank you for all of the information you pass on to us.
Hi Dutsin
You are most welcome. Thanks so much for your kind remark.
So good to see new videos from you Paul. Hope to continue to see more in the future.
Hi Greg
Thanks! We have a batch of 21 ready now and hope to do more next summer to release in the winter.
Really glad to see some new videos friends you all. They are EXCELLENT!
Thanks Daniel !!!!
Great you are back. Thanks a lot for sharing so much professional knowledge, best regards from Cologne, Germany - Joachim
Hi Joachim in Cologne! Thanks for your encouragement.
Amazing Videos ! Thank you so much for being out there and sharing this info!
Thanks OBR! It's our pleasure to be able to help where we can.
I am happy to see Paul again with more educational videos , i love the vibe of your center, i was always interested in bee keeping and your channel made me understand all the basics and how to do it , living in an urban area makes it hard for me to do right now, i am hoping one day i can manage to call myself a bee keeper.
Thank you for these inspiring lessons, and to David Borish for his amazing video production, keep it up

Oh yes , Thanks Ondra!
Happy that your back,Thankyou.
Thanks Jerry!
Paul:
Great to see your new videos. Excellent as always. I'm still waiting and hopeful for some additional ones explaining your single super hive management. Thank you once again to you and UoG for sharing your tremendous knowledge and experience
Thanks for your kind comments Kirk. The one on singles will be out in a few weeks.
Glad to see you all back on here I am a new bee keeper getting my stuff ready to get my bees in April and May here in West Virginia I have learned a lot from watching your all’s videos hope you have many more in the upcoming weeks.
Thanks Mark
Good luck with your entry into beekeeping. There will be lots of ups and a few downs. Keep at it for a few years and you'll be hooked for life!
Thank you! Finally more videos
You are most welcome! Thanks for the encouragement.
It's been a while... glad to see some new videos from you!
Thanks Isaac!
Thank you so much for all your videos Paul and Team !!!!!!!! I am curious about the new videos and what to learn. Pls keep on going thus fantastic educational material - Greatings from Germany
Hello Günter in Germany! Our team says you are very welcome.
Yessss!!!!! New videos!
:) Hi Brandon
This is the only time you will see anyone drop a beehive and be casual about it.
Haha... a dead hive isn't very defensive!
Excellent video!!!
Thanks Alfredo!
Great videos, thank you!
Our pleasure! Nice to hear you appreciate the video Fredrik.
Glad to see you guys are making content again, you haven't posted for a while
Thanks Ianov!
Very good videos.
Thanks Robert!
Hello Paul, it's nice to see you're posting new material !! How do you take care of comb from a hive that has starved and the bees are left in the cells ? I assume they died of starvation looking to get the last drops of honey. I'm ashamed to admit that I have one in that condition right now.
Thanks.
Hi Destevoe
Thanks! If we want to keep the comb we just brush the loose bees off and let the live bees in the colony we place the frame clean the dead bees out. They do a better job than I can.
What a teacher...excellent presentation. No aloofness or condescension, just straight forward delivery of knowledge and skills. I do lose patience with some of the armchair experts in the audience that expound their superior views as a matter of fact....yawn!
Enjoy the accent too....sounds like that of the Tidewater Virginia area...oat and aboat!
Gosh... thanks Mark.
What accent? We don't have an accent here! And by the way it's oot and aboot. :) Cheers.
Thanks
Can you have a stream with the topic at 6:24 how to renew old frame ? Are you talking about melted out the foundation and insert the plastic foundation snap-in?
I hate to make a negative comment on an otherwise great video, I would recommend turning the hive up into a roof when you want to undo the screws on the bottom board and you could do the same with a sharp knock to release the frames. That way you’re collecting all of the hive debris. Bio security and discouraging and other critters..
Hi Digger D
Not a bad thought Thanks!
I would leave the top insulation on year-round. I believe the new research supports well-insulated hives year-round.
Good point. It couldn't hurt to leave the insulation on. We use white lids on our hives and they are very cool to the touch so I don't think we need to insulate during the summer.
Toop video Merci
What do you guys use for the inner cover sheet?
what do you do when the cells are filled with dead bees? and when you say " get rid of frame do you through the whole thing away or just the was? tia
Hi 4benny
I brush off the majority of dead bees and let bees in the colony I use the frames clean up the rest. We burn old comb. You could render the wax but I don't it worthwhile.
Do you scrap the comb which has bees inside the comb. I had a number of frames in a dead out that the bees are in the comb not easy to get out?
Hi Gregg
We brush off the majority of bees and let the colonies we introduce these frames to clean out the rest. We don't see much of this( multiples bees in cells) as it's usually a sign of starvation and we feed enough in the fall to prevent starvation.
I’m a newbie keeper I started with two hives last spring they were really strong lots of honey but one of the hives all the beers left they left behind Cap honey And just left there were no dead bees
Hi Mike
Colonies that die from varroa mites can look that way but its hard to say for sure.
Why were queens poorly mated ?
What is solution to preventing readout ?
A. Poor weather during mating periods.
A. There are many reasons colonies of bees die. Winter is especially tough for them so they have to be in perfect shape going into winter. Some of our other videos address how to keep bees health and thriving.
I had a hive that still had a bit of sugar on its inside top, 2 frames of honey and nectar, but no bees anywhere. It's like they just decided to move within 5 days of warm weather from winter. None dead, just gone. No one can explain it.
Welcome Baaaaaaackk perfect 👌 the best 🐝 channel on UA-cam
Well Babylon Gate, I do recall you were asking for more... Thanks sincerely for your support.
I didn’t see any food left on any of the frames from dead out . Are you sure they didn’t starve?
Hi Kevin
Good point. I don't recall now but maybe they were already robbed out.
Oh got ya
nice videos.. where i can fing these belts ??
Thanks William
Please see dancingbeeequipment.com/products/bee-belt
why do you screw the bottom board to body?
We move our hives around sometimes and this keeps the hive from coming apart.
Ни фига себе. Канал ожил. Я думал его забросили.
Hey Mudragel thanks for the note!
Are you going to do videos in 2021?
Hi again Bee Bob! We are putting out a few this winter that were filmed over the last two years. I'd like to do more...
@@UoGHoneyBeeResearchCentre I'll be waiting for them. Thanks
امين
Thanks. I'm happy to hear you think so!
@@UoGHoneyBeeResearchCentre thank you
“For bio security reasons” then you dump the whole box on the ground? Makes no sense to me.
Hi Gerald
Well ok I guess we don't do the biosecurity perfectly. We don't scrape wax off onto the ground and try to collect the majority of the dead bees. We certainly inspect for AFB which is the one major biosecurity issue in this situation.
Every single beekeeper does a certain amount of bullshitting.
Some fib a little. Others flat out lie. He said he "tries" to keep the yard clean. If you look it is very clean. No pile of old equipment rotting in the background.
hello sir . how are u. sir i love6 beekeeping bussnèes. and i comeing to you country . plz help me sir . and plz reply me.
Hi There
It's note easy to immigrate to another country. I wish you good luck.
