bag sealer ... seals a bag with heat, hive frame spacer...for proper spacing between frames in the hive, proventriculus...a bee “crop” or valve that grinds and filters food and pollen which then passes into the ventriculus. Thanks for the fun and education!
Last was Where she stores nectar ( honey tank). I recently bought your online course packet- it’s WONDERFUL!!! Learning lots- thank you David- you’re a great teacher!
Wow! Great video again. I’ve purchased three courses and continue to watch for new videos you make for uTube. So very helpful in my second year. Thanks Dave and Sheri!
No. 1 - Used to seal your Winter-Be-Kinds for shipping.
No. 2 - Frame spacer used to increase distance between honey frames while keeping all the frames evenly spaced
No. 3 - Have no idea but would like to know!!
Great videos!! Tank You !!!
#1 Tabletop poly bag impulse sealer. Many uses from honey straws to ship item liquid or powder.
#2 It's a 9 frame spacer. It is used to help beekeeper maintain even spacing between frames which helps honeybees to make more even comb.
#3 Its called Proventriculus
A constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.
Thanks for the video, excellent timing as I'll be installing my first 2 packages next week, and also thank you for spending all that time yesterday looking into the new innercovers.
1- Heat sealing equipment to close plastic bugs, I guess you use it to seal the additives
2.. frame spacer, you press on it on top of the Frames and it spaces them at the appropriate distance from one another
3... The proventriculus a muscular valve that can be closed, keeping the nectar from passing into the stomach.

1 sealer bar used to crimp honey sticks. 2 is a 9 frame spacer used on honey supers so they draw the wax out more. Keeps them evenly spaced. 3 is a proventriculus keeps nectar from being digested in the stomach. Nice job on the granite.
Looks alot clearer 😊great video 😊
The picture is so awesome!
My 3rd time watching! Enjoy watching you move the granite.
Needed to watch how you installed both types of bee's.
Thanks
Wow, that was a fun video. Lots of great info. Next time have Rosey come over to pick up that slab of granite.
Gosh, Rosey could have placed it under his arm and carried it like a book.
1. Bag sealer. Used for your honey bee kinds and the ingredients to make it ourselves.
2. Nine fame spacer. It is used to create a small gap in-between frames so the bees draw out comb a little farther so uncapping with a knife is easier.
3. It's a proventriculus. Used to store the nectar/honey in the honey stomach while taking in other stuff and not digesting the honey/nectar.
Item #1 Plastic bag sealer, Item #2 spacer for a 9 frame set up in a 10 frame box, Item #3 The rounder pinkish part is the honey stomach a storage sac, used in honey bees to carry nectar. The longer pinkish apart is the Proventriculus a constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.
1. Bag sealer to package goods
2. Frame spreader, spaces the frames evenly within box
3.bee stomach used to allow bees to store honey/nectar to prepare for swarming.
Honey straw stick sealer, frame separator, the foregut and midgut and the proventriculus. The vale can grind food like pollen.
1st was a bag sealer, 2nd were frame spacers. 3rd, that is a Proventriculus portion of a honey bee stomach. Used for storing nectar.
Bag sealer for winter brekind. Frame spacer for spacing frames equally. Proventriculus allows bees to store never/honey without digesting it
1- The sealer you used to package your feeding supplements/additives.
2- Frame Spacer
3- Proventriculus A constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested.
Thank you for this video ☺️ I truly appreciate it
That’s a bag sealer used for shipping bee feeing kits. The second is a 9 frame spacer to get bigger honey comb during the harvest and the third is the honey stomach of the bee
First item is a bag sealer. Judging by it size, you use it to seal the bags that you ship your winter be kind boards in.
Second item is a frame spacer, it’s used to evenly spaced the frames in a box.
The third is the honey stomach. It allows bees to store honey/ necture to take with them for swarming and such.
1) poly bag heat sealer, you seal your bee additives with it
2) plastic frame spacer
3)the honey stomach holds nectar while in field til back at hive
1- The heat sealer used to package in plastic your Burns Bees feeding system
2- Frame Spacer - when used it sets frames at 3/8ths inches apart (Bee Space) in the box
3- a dissected view of the digestive tract of the honey bee...muscular valve (Proventriculus) which is opened for the food to pass into the stomach, and the (Ventriculus) which is coiled and stores and transports nectar collected
Thank you for the knowledge share!
Thanks so much
@@beek I would totally hang out with y’all if y’all were closer. Y’all are like the nicest people and do down to earth. I’m 57 and just getting back into beekeeping after a 12 year hiatus. Lots has changed. I so appreciate your content.
Nucs on Saturday. 🙏🏼
Item # 1 A sealer for plastic bag that you ship your Liquid Feeding Additives. Item #2 9 Frame separator or spacer. Item # 3 Proventriculus: A constricted portion of the honey bee foregut or honey stomach, which can control the flow of nectar and solids. This allows honey bees to store nectar in the honey stomach without being digested. This is Gary Ellis not sure why it put Marie's name up.
Great video
1. This is a sealer that is used to seal the pouches the feeding additives are shipped in!
2. This is a plastic frame spacing tool, which allows the beekeeper to easily space out each frame. This divides the space in the hive equally for each frame.
3. The green is the bees “midgut” where the bee does its digestion for nutrients. The pink is the bees “foregut” also known as its honey stomach, which is used to store nectar used for honey! The pink tube in both the midgut and foregut is the proventriculus. The proventriculus controls what goes from the foregut to the midgut which prevents the nectar in the “foregut” (or honey stomach) from being digested!
I’m excited for this.
Cool
Sir, thank you for your special video.
Glad you like it.
1st item is a wire embedder used to set foundations in frames or a plastic bag sealer
2nd item is a frame spacer used to make sure frames are evenly spaced in the hive to help avoid rolling bees when moving frames
3rd picture is the proventriculus an organ of the bee that helps separate and pack the pollen from the medium it is suspended in
1. Sealer to seal the bag for the Winter Bee Kinds 2. 10-frame spacing tool to space the frames out evenly 3. Honey stomach - bees store the honey in their stomach to bring back to the hive.
Item 1 - looks like a heat sealer. possibly used to seal the bags of your liquid feeding additive packages. Item 2 is a frame spacer, could be used to properly space 9 frames in a 10 frame deep or super. Item 3 is the honey stomach or crop, used for either temporary storage of nectar or honey, or as the first stop in the digestive process
Very informative Sir. You really make it look so easy!
Well thank you Avery! It is easy to me, most of the time :)
Nice camera! Video looks great.
Thank you Jason, so much easier to make and edit video...oh my gosh. Should have done this years ago. But now my wallet is THINNNER!!!
The bees are so cute
Very cool video
Thanks so much.
I installed my Nuc over the weekend and to my surprise the second frame I pulled had 8 swarm cells on it, I'm new at this I didn't see the queen I'm going out this weekend to see if I can spot her or if I have any bees.
You should have plenty of bees, but odd they have swarm cells. Although, it is instinctive in strong colonies to have a reproductive swarm.
Not sure why you don't open the Bee Bus at the start, no shaking through the small hole. Works great, way way better than the old wooden ones
Yay I love you videos
Thank you
You need to clean the top free of dust before the succion cups can stay put.

David, i bought a bee vac from you years ago and never had time to use it, its a beautiful artefact in my office, but this year I am using it, collecting northern wild i.e. feral bee colonies for a survivor stock project. Bee Well my Friend. -Robert Gerald Lorge, Master Craftsman Beekeeper, UF IFAS, Capital Hill Farms: Lorge Honey
Wow, Robert, that was many years ago. We loved making and selling those bee vacs. Nice to hear from you. And to everyone reading this, NO, we no longer make bee vacs. We have several that we use in our operation and life is better with a bee vac.
Can you show how you would put a queen cage that has some bees in it with the queen in the frames on an install. Would you place the candy up or candy down? I always heard candy up in case one of the bees die and blocks the escape hole if candy facing down. What are your taughts. Good job on all your videos. Thanks
I will, great suggestion
you need a compact tractor. I borrowed my brothers and man, did I get a lot done with it. Great for lifting and moving stuff around.
Right on! If only. For some reason I seem to enjoy doing it the hard way.
Funny about the unfinished hive outlasting you... Lol. At 55 I find myself using the same reasoning many times. No one is going to live forever so why make more work than we need to :)
Well said!! When my dad got older he said he didn't like shopping at Sams Club because at his age it was a waste of money to buy in bulk :)
Your phone going off sent my anxiety sky high 'cause i have the same ringtone 😅😂
I had the same feeling in the edit room and heard it again!
Wondering what you think about running nine frames in a 10 frame hive body? I regularly experience great difficulty trying to pry out the first frame in a 10 frame. I usually try to pry out the second one from the edge, first, but always feel like I’m smushing bees or that the frame is going to break apart.
You could, however, we just do not know what the colony would do with extra space. You might regret having stray comb or columns on frames. Or it might work perfectly. Coin toss.
Can you show or tell how to put a cage on a swarm cell ? To save the queens to move to another hive or sell? Thanks
Please be more specific. I'm afraid I do not follow completely.
So who won the HONEY REFRACTOMETER? Thanks for the great Videos
I'll announce the winner in an upcoming video
Question. Why don't you add an inner top cover to new hives?
Hey David how often would you suggest splitting 5 frame nucs? I have 5 of them and can not afford to buy equipment until the irs finally decides I can have my money lol. I do however have 20 nucs that I built last season I know to go buy population and room but I would like to see what a master beekeeper says for a timeframe
A 5 frame nuc, in a 5 frame nuc box is maxed out. If you place them into a 10 frame hive, no need to split the first year. If you plan on keeping them in a 5 frame nuc, you might have to split right away. But that's a bit risky. We do this for queen rearing but it requires a lot of management to keep mating nucs from swarming etc.
@@beek I plan on putting them into 8 frame equipment once I can afford it I bought two nucs and they was pretty much maxed out capped brood wall to wall so I did split them in half. I love beekeeping but being new still there is a lot of learning to do. I am really trying to buy time until I can buy equipment lol. For now on I am playing it smart and buying equipment during winter months. Thank you for your reply.
Any follow up videos to this one??
David I'm starting back with bees after being away from it for a while. Since the first year is dedicated to building bee numbers,should I install the new packages I have on the way in hive bodies or nus, with splitting for more colonies in mind? Also can you safely use nucs to overwinter bees in central Illinois? My end goal down the road of course is honey production.
Hi Kenneth, have you taken a beekeeping course? If not, I strongly recommend it. I recommend installing packages in hive bodies, either 8 or 10 frames. I prefer 10 frames. Never split your first year. Whether you can safely use nucs to overwinter bees in central Illinois .... let me say, overwintering full size colonies takes careful management skills all year. So nucs? Well, a much bigger gamble. Since your end goal is honey, you need lots of hives, so I see your question about making splits. I'd use your first year back to familiarize yourself with the new pressures facing bees, and work on getting these colonies strong to overwinter, then split next spring for honey production. First year colonies use much of their incoming nectar to convert to wax to build combs.
Black slab, may attract heat, and may rise into hive ?
1. Honey stick machine for making honey sticks
2. 9 frame spacer tool for spacing 9 frames in a 10 frame box
3. Queen bee spermatheca for storing sperm from mating with drones. Lorie 😁🐝
Why are you using a dark charcoal colored piece of granite as a base for setting up your bee hives? That granite will absorb heat from the sun and radiate it up into the hives, making them very hot inside. Wouldn't they be better sitting on a pallet or on the ground?
Yes, you are right. I just want to do something with it. I will monitor the temps. Thank you. Maybe they will stay warm in the winter :)
Hay next time you need something is heavy to move go the bar & get some buddy's to help
Soooooo.....True!!!!
Is it possible to have an on going weight of the granite bees ??
I've never cared much for hive scales. It is what it is. I feel I know my hives so well that the weight really is of no value to me. People say, you can see if they are bringing in a lot of nectar. I say, I can look in the frames :). But, if someone sent me a scale, I'd throw it under there just to add to the video observation. :)
Frame spreader
Hey David, I believe it's the queen bee's reproductive system. I believe I see her ovary, oviduct, and spermatheca. That would be one big momma queen! Thanks for the vids, always enjoy! --Ben
Hello Dear, In Uganda kindly have mercy to us keep it
Do you not use an inner cover? If not, why not?
They are useful in keeping the top cover from being stuck so much to the to box, and for winter vapor/temp gap. But I use my winter-bee-kind feeders to get my bees through the winter, and would have to remove the inner cover anyway, so I just do not find a good use for them.
Can I buy packages bee's now
1# labels
What's the green frame?
I explain it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/bBF1qVrMBZI/v-deo.html
Noticed that you don't use inner cover, why?
Here's my video explanation: ua-cam.com/video/GpbQTieOVwc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the explanation 😊
Do me a favor David check the temperature of the Marble cuz you know black marble gets hotter than you know what so just make sure it doesn't cook the bees 10-4
Yes, that's what I was questioning too. That's why I lifted the screen bottom board up a bit off the marble, but I may have to place both on stands in the summer. Thanks!
@@beek just saying it could be a plus and it could be a -2 depends on how you use The Thermals from it okay over and out
How to feed, when to super, you drinking coffee 🤣
Dang! You meant like, ACTUAL ITEMS! Lmao!
🤣🤣🤣
