    Hi aussie beekeeping. Queensland beekeeper here.I find my most gentlest of bees get angry when it’s windy. Sometimes we can’t predict the weather when we inspect but I try to check temperament over different conditions. That being said there’s nothing worse than hot hive to inspect. Love your videos cheers

    Why does the brood frame have wood across the middle? Does that help to sturdy it if you don't use wire?

    • @aussiebeekeeping
      @aussiebeekeeping  13 днів тому

      It’s a special frame for harvesting cut honey comb. I just use it anywhere.

    My bees... That little bit of wrist between your leather glove and when the suit sleeve rides up. They know it is ripe for a sting!!😂

    I have never seen a clear hive before! That is fantastic and simply beautiful!!! I love it! Your bee suit doesn't seem to be very protective for you. I've never been stung through mine unless a bee ended up under my veil. I guess I am very lucky, but I do seem to have a very aggressive hive this year. I got popped in the face 4 times earlier this year and then I decided a bee suit was needed. I normally didnt need them for my bees. I am not sure what you use to put on your bee stings, but I strongly suggest honey. For the stings on my face, I applied honey and had no reaction at all. No itching, no swelling and no problem. But I also got stung on the knee and didnt put anything on it. My knee was swollen, itchy, red and irritated for about a week. I learned my lesson and honey goes on all my stings! Its beautiful stuff! :) Thanks for the video!

      Thank you.
      Yes my suit was crap. I recently got another from Honsby Beekeeping and it’s amazing.
      I’m lucky that stings don’t really get itchy so I don’t have to put anything on them but it’s a good tip.

      Just grab a hand full of wild flowers and rub them on.

    you should get your self a three layer mesh jacket or suit, I have one and never get stung through it

    • @aussiebeekeeping

      I had a jacket. Triple layer and breathable. But the veil failed and I was gifted this one. I’m planning to return to a good quality one.

    Really peacefully to watch. Nice music and nature in between. Just wondering, you killed the Queen because her offspring was to aggressive. Won't they stay aggressive? And the brood? That's still from the old queen. Won't they still be the aggressive kind? Or will the new queen change the vibe of the hive?

    • @aussiebeekeeping
      @aussiebeekeeping  Рік тому +4

      Once the queen lays new eggs they will hatch and have her temperament. This making them a gentle hive again.

    How many hives have you got are they all there. You do a lot if splitting or do you sell them. You should do a vid on what you do with honey or sell bees sort of thing.

      I’ve got 12 Langstroth hives, some nucs and the top bar. All currently in the one yard. I sell nucs. Thanks for the vid ideas :)
