    I watch the “Just Alex” UA-cam that you recommended but like this particular playlist the best. Alex is certainly entertainment but for more factual stuff this is hard to beat.

    Thankyou so much for this video series. I am going to get a nuc in 2022 spring and is really helpful to have seen your great advice before I actually get them as this will help me prepare for the big day. Thanks so much I love all of your videos :-)

    Great video series. My daughter and I are starting bee keeping this year 2022. We have just ordered our first Nuc from you and have lessons booked with our local Association. Really looking forwards to our journey. Your videos are a great insight and preparation for what lies ahead. Thanks Fish & Loz

    If I catch a swarm in my brood box up high with wax frames can I move it 30 feet to the position I want the hive to be . Regards Ben

    Great advice, I'm planning on restarting beekeeping next year. I wonder the best way of introducing a nuc into a 14X12 abelo brood box where the frames from the nuc are smaller. cant see how to avoid the wild comb under the frame

    • @BlackMountainHoney
      @BlackMountainHoney  2 роки тому +1

      You can buy extenders to transform national frames into 14 x 12

    Really helpful series. Thank you. What do you do if your bees are delivered in one of the correx boxes? Can you cut a hole and leave for a few hours? Is this long enough?

    I transferred my first nuc yesterday and gave them 1:1 sugar syrup, I went and check the feeder this morning and it’s now empty. The bees are bringing in pollen and it’s sunny. Do I refill the feeder? I don’t want to open them up again just to check if they are drawing out the comb but I also don’t want to leave the feeder empty if they need it? What do I do? 😂

    I transferred 2 nucs into 2 hives with 2:1 syrup 2days ago is this going to be a problem should I dilute the feeders?

  • @neilneil468
    @neilneil468 Рік тому

    Help. Just received my nucs yesterday. Waiting for fair weather to transfer them into the hives, but I just saw that birds are swooping down and eating my bees. This is not a problem I anticipated. What do I do?

  • @paternostus1
    @paternostus1 2 роки тому

    Quick question. Get my Nuc next week, when I transfer to the hive (after 3+ days) how often, and for how long do you recommend I give them the 1:1 feed?

  • @chethannk3741
    @chethannk3741 3 роки тому

    Sir, use squashed fruit (commonly available in u r area) here v do so squashed fruits are better than simple sugar syrup☺☺

    • @BlackMountainHoney
      @BlackMountainHoney  3 роки тому +1

      Fruit juices can cause really bad dysentery. Not recommended
