Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you
I had a colony swarm as I was working in the yard. They landed in a tree next their home hive. I was able to drop them in a new prepped hive. I left them right there and they seem to be doing fine after 3 weeks.
Nice

I got a nuc which was queenless. 2 weeks ago. They are queen right now. She just started laying today. 6/8 all the brood has emerged. I saw a few bees with mites on them. Should I be concerned considering the brood cycle was broke. And she just started laying. Or should I consider treating them?
I struggle with robbing bees every year
Hi from North Warwickshire, UK.
Thanks for some very useful tips ! 😊🇬🇧
Thanks for watching!
David, it’s Friday. Missed your live view last night. Kind of busy with the kids, but I’m kind of wondering I have a lot of bees trying to get in at the same time. Should I open up the bottom opening a little bit more? I have it on a slight angle, but it seems like they’re fighting to get in, do you ever take that off completely or does that open them up for robbing? Thank you Charlie PA. Have a great day. Great video by the way on all the tips.

Question on tilting a hive forward. I've read both yes and no. How much of a tilt works the best? I didn't read anything about that in your book but I just started reading it. I'm in Ohio
David I got To admit I’m cheap I don’t put money underneath there I put a good steel washers Charlie PA😊
Hay thanks for the great information. How often can you harvest your honey and what time of year?
Yellow jackets took mine out completely dry in less than a week last year
#hat i am a new follower. Just started beekeeping.
Lol bees drop-kicking...
#book lol Can't hate me to wanting to participate anyway
Robbers wiped out one of nucs that i only had for 2 wks was told it was because i was feeding HbH in outside feeder have you seen or heard of that
I do not ever use an entrance feeder. Is that what you mean by outside feeder. Our Burns Feeding Board goes on top, where the smell of HBH doesn’t leave the hive and robbers would have to go through all the bees to get through it.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for your advice with SHB. Hive is healthy and thriving!
Glad to be helpful

Bees are Carnivores so yes they need protein !
Yes as long as you are referring to the microbes they eat then yes bees are carnivores 👍

Say Dave Honey bees are ASE certified in air condition and heating, Douh! When you vent the top you make it harder for the bees and they burn more resources too cool or heat! When you turn your AC on do you go upstairs and open the windows?
I might largely agree with you. However, bees cannot produce low humidity, cold air as an AC unit does. In a house our warm air blow across a cold coiling coil full of refrigerant which removes the dense humidity. So if you watch bees they line up and try to draw the hot humid air out of the hive. If it gets real hot then they use a ton of energy to remove their heat and they stop collecting nectar and just bring in water. So opening the top slightly can help them conserve energy.
David's venting opinion is correct, heat rises, Bees need to circulate air, heat will rise and vent out top while cooler air comes in at bottom. same concept as a condenser in an A/C system
Do you have any evidence or actual research to support your opinion?
